Politics - 3 July 2007

If so, I have some disappointing news for them:

Tuesday, July 3, 2007 11:18 a.m. EDT

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has rejected a proposal by Oscar-winning movie director Oliver Stone to make a film about him because Stone is part of the "Great Satan" cultural establishment, a semiofficial news agency reported.

"I sent a negative answer by Ahmadinejad to Oliver Stone," the Fars agency quoted Mehdi Kalhor, media adviser to the president, as saying Sunday. "It is right that this person is considered part of the opposition in the U.S., but opposition in the U.S. is a part of the Great Satan."

This is not the first time Stone has attempted to create a hagiographic film about a dictator. In 2002 Stone filmed a controversial documentary praising Castro. He has repeatedly said that he admires the communist dictator.

I do not know why every one is bashing Hillary so bad. I think she would bring some change into the American political mainstream. Why is it that the highest position in the United States of America must always be filled with males? Isn't about time to change? And is it about time to fill it with women? Let's face it women are smart , intelligent and highly educated. Nevertheless, I hope she will win. Cause she could make this country change into a different directions. What's your thought on that?

Tell me what he has done that's

1) against the law
2) immoral
3) against the mandate that the people who voted for him gave him.

Any thoughts?

Republicans do it and so do the Democrats. Can't we all just agree on that much at least?

When did the YANKEE northeastern Republican Party stopped being the party of progressive values and started being the party of right-wing CONFEDERATE corporate/fundamentalist values?

I say 1964, when they chose right-wing reactionary Barry Goldwater over liberal Nelson Rockefeller from New York. Goldwater was against civil rights. Rockefeller, being a LIBERAL, was for them.

Formerly racist southern conservative Democrats jumped ship that election and have been largely voting Republican ever since.

I shorted 4K shares today without realizing today was a half trading day and tomorrow is the 4th of July!

I'm down $500 bucks already and they probably won't let me on an airplane anymore! Congress was going to move the 'forth to a weekend. What's so stupid about that? Just call it independence day instead of the 4th of July!

Why are Republicans more productive?

In High School, future Liberals are found in the parking lot getting "High". Future CONSERVATIVES, study, work and participate in sports.

After High school, future Liberals live at home with parents. Future CONSERVATIVES, attend college, work and form life goals.

By age 30, Liberals begin to BLAME society for their poor life choices and Laziness. CONSERVATIVES thank God and begin to help Liberal families with donations to charity.

Anyone see the pattern......?

People get sick, fired, need to take care of a relative or just come on hard times... so why are they lazy. I mean I do agree that some people take atvantage of it and they live off of it when they could have a job but some people really do need it.

Do you see how that is now sheer hypocrisy, as the president himself gives amnesty to lawbreakers? Should we commute the future sentences and punishments of all illegal aliens? Or is that reserved for the president's cronys?

Perfect timing too-do it when there is a new PM that way he has an excuse to go all out and keep doing what the American Gov. wants.

Once and for all isn't it obvious these attacks are not by real Muslim terrorist groups (exclude Iraq -that is a war zone)? This does nothing for the Muslim cause--this DOES A LOT FOR the west's cause though!!

Your thoughts?

The movie Sicko is a well documented movie that talks about how US AMERICANS don't have a universal Health Care and that our Health care and Insurance is corrupted by greedy politicians and businessmen.
Link:
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=56404

Some Key things in the movie
*Spoilers*
- A lot of insurance agencies rip u off and keep their money
- Doctors gets bonus pays to the most people they've denied health care
- We make fun of Canadians, Cubans, Brits, and mainly Frenches but they have the BEST HEALTH CARE.
- Socialist party is good in healthcare. The media here makes it look like Sickel and Axe communist omg party
- .05 for the SAME medicne compare 20-30 buck in US.
- Al Qaeda prisoners have the best Health Care in the US.
- Patients pay ZERO! money in hospitals.

Most of my family members ARE Doctors. After chit chat, they agree how the system is corrupted
