Politics - 6 July 2007

Every time I get a paycheck the government takes some of my money for taxes. The tax on each pack of cigarettes is almost a buck. Then there's sales tax. I don't own a house yet, but when I do the government will tax that too.

I have to work for my money ... why shouldn't the government have to do the same? They think they can just take it.

I'm a conservative but I really think Liberals care about our country. You have very well meaning ideals. The problem is that you don't think them through.
Like the young lady who brought up health care a few minutes ago. Seemingly a good idea on the surface, but the problem is when the government is in charge of something it always gets worse. One way to find out if something is going to work is to research how others have done when they tackled the same or similar problem. Then be honest about your findings.
Time and again the government comes up short. Certain things are always best left to the individual.

They have no plan for the consequences of such action nor have they even really tried to get us to actually leave.

If they want us to leave why don't they come up with a detailed plan of how it will happen and how they will deal with the consequences. I personally believe they haven't really thought about it too deeply and just use such generic statements to attack Bush.

John Kerry had no plan when running against Bush other than to attack Bush. Democrat Congress has had no plan for Iraq or anything else. Their only plan has been to attack Bush. This election they won't be running against Bush and he won't be President. Does this mean they have to come up with a plan for the first time in 8 years or risk losing the election once again?

I have a question for all the Dems that are so against the war. Why have your leaders defunded the war? They have the power of the purse and could end the war tomorrow. Why have they not done that? Do they only want to score political points? It is very easy to just cry and moan about the war, why don't they do anything about it?

...Why do they praise the commutation of LIbby's sentence ? He was found guilty of multiple felonies under a court of law, by a jury of his peers ? I thought you guys considered that the word of G_d himself ?

And before you go ducking the question and clamoring about Sandy, he FOLLOWED THE JUDICIAL PROCESS and plead out to misdeameanors. He went with the system. Libby thought he was above it, and was torched for it.

Let's face it he is going to serve the rest of his term. Isn't it better to wait it out than to waste taxpayers money trying to accomplish something that isn't possible? Do people who say such things even understand the Process? I myself think they are just ignorant.

or just outright calling him a closet Republican. That seems to be the tactic Republicans are using this day trying to justify Bush's failures.

How could I word such a question?

Surely these cannot be mutually exclusive words. There must be a few good questions that can contain these two words.

Can you think of any?

I tried, but it was probably offensively simple, so let me invite you to bring some complexity into your reply.

Are there genuine ways to do this? Are these two words just bitterly locked out of topic with each other like water and oil?

Are we not able to handle these two words together in any question here?

This is starting to amuse me.
(But I was not primarily looking to be amused.)

Would it cause a wider war? Would other countries become involved?

I think its an important question, as such an attack is inevitable if Iran refuses to turn away from its quest to join the nuclear club.

I knew Bush was incompetent, I just didn't realize that many Americans want him impeached. Even more people want Cheney gone.

Today Condaleeza Rice made a statement saying that military action against Iran could not be ruled out, and that Iran is an increasingly dangerous country.

Will Iran abandon its nuclear ambitions?

And what will happen if Iran continues on their present course?

Rice today: Fri Jul 6, 3:18 PM ET



WASHINGTON (AFP) - US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice described Iran as "increasingly dangerous" and refused to rule out US military action if Tehran refuses to suspend its nuclear program.

But Rice said that President George W. Bush is backing diplomatic efforts aimed at convincing the Islamic republic to freeze nuclear activities that Washington fears are a drive to build an atomic bomb."

Iran can't even get enough high grade Uranium to run a nuclear power plant, much less build a bomb! Experts say they are 10 years away from a bomb!

They have a right under Article 4 of the NPT to build a nuclear power plant! They have to enrich Uranium. Nuke plants don't run on dirt!

Why all the BS? Bush wants to attack Iran! Is he so stupid that he thinks we don't know why he wants to attack Iran?

This is an out of control administration!

December 19, 1998, Bill Clinton was impeached by the u.s. house of representatives for perjury & obstruction of justice.

"Bush lied.... People died..."

Right?

Why hasn't Bush been impeached on far worse grounds?

the only mushroom cloud around is the small one she calls a hair style.
