why do candidates like Ralph Nader even bother to run for president? dont' they know what an enormous waste of time and money it is? nowadays, the president will either be a Republican or a Democrat, and nothing else, so why even bother, third party candidates don't have a snowball's chance in hell of winning

With each generation we become more liberal as a society and with each generation we become more decadant as a society. Is there a connection between the two?

Not to mention the damage it would do to the Republican party who actually elected the guy to office twice!

be happy that Clinton was questioned under oath about his sex life? If Clinton had to respond to subpoenas about his affair with Lewinsky, why don't Bush's aides have to respond to the subpoenas about the attorney firings?

I'm not being flip; I'm curious why, in one case, it matters why the subpoenas were issued and in another, it doesn't. Could one of you rational Republicans explain this to me, please?

for military adventures abroad, and for the suppression of civil liberties at home. It serves the same purpose, serving to create hysteria.
Behind the deceptive words designed to entice people into supporting violence -- words like democracy, freedom, self-defense, national security -- there is the reality of enormous wealth in the hands of a few, while billions of people in the world are hungry, sick, homeless. With the indiscriminate nature of modern military technology (no such thing as a "smart bomb," it turns out) all wars are wars against civilians, and are therefore inherently immoral. This is true even when a war is considered "just," because it is fought against a tyrant, against an aggressor, to correct a stolen boundary.

Do you think our country would be doing better by our people, principles of democracy & our proud history of the constitution if we would behave by example within our country and by diplomatic means outside our borders?

First it was:

"Saddam has WMDs and he won't disarm."

"He has nuclear and biological weapons."

"Saddam is a grave threat to world (and national) security, and he must be stopped."

Second was:

"Spreading freedom and democracy to the Middle East."

"Freeing the Iraqis from a bloody tyrant."

"Giving Iraqis their freedom and democracy."

Now it's:

"Al-Qaeda of Iraq is a dangerous threat to Iraqis and a severe threat to US national security."

"They are dangerous and has sworn to kill us all."

"They are the same ones who killed 3000 people on our soil."

Call up all active duty, reserve military personnel from all branches of service that are available and head to Iraq. Use the Iraqi Army and the U.S. military to secure the entire border allowing nothing to come in or go out. Use the Army \ Marines to search building to building confiscating all weapons and capturing/killing all insurgents/resistors with the Iraqi police taking over once cities are cleared. Once all the guns are out of the hands of those who would use them to hamper Democracy, and the Iraqi police are secured in every town, the military leaves and political advisors come to help secure the government. Secritarian violence would be limited as they would have no weapons to use. After a few months, the U.S. would only have to have a limited presence and the Iraqi's could be left to run there own country.

Probably a stupid idea. Oh well.

I'm a conservative. I like listening to Rush, Medved, and to a lesser extent Hannity. But I can't stand Michael Savage. I think it's because he's just too hateful and negative. What's your opinion of the man?

We've heard the Lancet figures of 600,000. Last week Cindy upped them to 700,000. So, what's the real figure? Was the study right?

A new statistical analysis of the 2004 study authored by David Kane, Institute Fellow at the Institute for Quantitative Social Science at Harvard University provides insight. What's your take on it?

It's not right to respond to terrorism by terrorizing other people. And furthermore, it's not going to help. Then you might say, "Yes, it's terrorizing people, but it's worth doing because it will end terrorism." But how much common sense does it take to know that you cannot end terrorism by indiscriminately dropping bombs?

I'm looking for a candidate that will reduce the size of government, eliminate the deficit, and pay down a portion of the federal debt, so that the looming Social Security payouts won't bankrupt the country.

I hear people say this all the time and yet no prominent democrat or newspaper editorial board - someone with a reputation to lose - ever says the war is 'illegal'.

You have seen the democrat debates, no one calls it illegal. Why is that?

Why do people hate Bush? He has done nothing but defend our country and stimulate the economy. I would agree that he has made mistakes down the road. However, every president has made mistakes. I feel like people hat him because they really are just haters. If you legitimitely hat our president, then please tell me why and support your reason with facts. And i do not want to hear that he lied to the public unless you can prove it.
