ago, it would be worth two thousand nine hundred dollars today. How much did the CEO of Exxon make over that period? Here's the question. Is it more beneficial to shareholders to be invested or for executive level management that you be invested?

For instance, General W.T. Sherman cut a swath through the Democrat Confederate South that brought them to their knees...

General Sherman also forced Democrat Confederate South soldiers taken prisoner to CLEAR THE ROADS OF LAND MINES, so that Union soldiers could carry on with their March to the Sea...

Could General Praetorius use these tactics? I mean, if we were to even believe that Muslims would actually give a damn about other Muslims being blown up by land mines?

I therefore certainly don’t think the West is locked into Jihad with Islam, though I suppose if the fundamentalists go too far they’ll have to be opposed. Iran’s comments about the “Great Satan” were aimed mostly at the United States: they were not made because the West was Christian. I think the West should try to overcome these strains between different religious groups. I do, however, think that the US is following a very dangerous policy in relation to the Middle East. The root of this trouble is that the US gives too much support to Israel. They allow them to have nuclear weapons and to do all sorts of things, some of which are contrary even to Jewish law. Jewish families occupy Arab houses without payment. That is stealing. I think that the US should be much firmer with Israel and put a lot of pressure on them, though this is difficult because of the strong Jewish lobby. Unless something is done there’ll be dangerous conflict in the Middle East. Such danger would be less likely to arise if all three Abrahamic faiths - Jews, Christians and Muslims - paid greater respect to what God teaches us about living together

In the recent debates the Analysts and majority of Viewers thought Joe Bidden knew most about the issues.

'Best Response', Bidden and Dodd each got one analyst's vote, while Edwards got popular vote and the remaining analyst's vote.

'Most Surprising Performance', Edwards received one analyst's vote while Obama got the remaining two and popular vote.

'Participant whose campaign benefited most', two analysts gave specific accolades to Obama's response and he also won popular vote. One analyst said, "Clinton's camp has to be pleased".

'Most Creative campaign video' saw analysts split between Obama, Dodd and Richardson while Obama won the popular vote.

Total results relating to: knowledge, response, performance, recognition and creativity

Clinton, 1
Richardson, 1
Dodd, 2
Edwards, 3
Bidden, 5
Obama, 8

The only positive vote she got was for having pleased her camp by throwing out 'red meat' especially in regards to the 2000 campaign'. We need a candidate to address today's issues

I e-mail my U.S. senators often from the mail lists of Planned Parenthood and NOW regarding women's health and reproductive rights bills. The Republican senator sometimes sends response e-mails presumably written by his office minions; the Democratic senator, nothing (which I deem really no worse than the minion letter). In response to a recent e-mail encouraging him to please hurry up and help put a stop to the disastrous idiocy that is the Iraq war, the senator's return letter informed me that he "respectfully disagrees" and kindly explained that "though we seem to often disagree, I hope you will please continue to write to me."

I thought the way democracy works is constituents elect a *representative* who listens *respectfully and silently* to the constituents' opinions and then tries to act on these opinions - because he is *representing* his constituents.

In Australia, it is natural for our media to blow up and focus entirely on the Australian role in world history, and in current events. I want your alternate opinion on matters.

If Australia was to withdraw it's support from the USA in all it's current war zones, remove the Free Trade Agreement between said nations, and cancel it's mutual defense treaties -do you think the USA would be impacted significantly. if so, how much?

I mean, even though the terrorists were plotting and attacking different countries AND the USA prior to 9/11, he decides to go over there and fight them on there own soil???I mean, why would he want to fight them on there own soil??? Why doesn't he just tuck tail and run like the almighty liberals? If we pull out of Iraq, millions of people will die, just like when we pulled out o Vietnam, tons of Vietnamese were slaughtered by Cambodians and there own people? Sounds like a good idea to me. Why can't republicans just stop trying to protect us from the terrorists and let them have their way?

Don't you get the feeling that they have running by their own rules (or lack thereof) from the very beginning and they've basically said fvck the rule of law and the constitution in this country? Don't you get the impression that this Bush adminstration doesn't give a rats behind about the country or it's laws and is just using the position to have power over our country's military to carry out it's own personal business agenda? If you don't please back it up with a real argument and show ample amount of proof. Because the proof that what I'm saying is far greater I can tell you that right now.

When I ask questions about Socialists they always go on about equality. What they mean is equality of outcome not opportunity. This means that the person who works the hardest gets the same reward as the one who works the least. I'm sorry but I missed where this is a good thing.

Yes, the war in Iraq can be won. Winning would be helping Iraqis build a stable government that is an ally in the war on terrorism—unlike Saddam's Iraq, which was an enemy in that war. This would be a major victory. It is true that Iraq will be a violent place for many years. But some of the forces that make it violent—radical Islamists and Saddam's Baathist supporters—are sworn enemies of the United States. If we turn our backs on them now, their threat will only grow.

YOUR THOUGHTS?
