I speak of a person who says he will take action, but makes sure its not like a loose cannon......why does it get interpreted as wimpish by americans??

Does this go back to our cowboys and indians shoot from hip wild west heritage?

If we build a soccer field that kids play in, it shows things are progressing and that we should be there ...right?

But if a school bus full of kids going to the soccer field is blown up, then it also shows that we should be there...right??

Denying subpoenas is tantamount to admitting guilt in this case. If he and his aides did nothing wrong, then he has NO reason to refuse to let them testify. But he is refusing, so he ADMITS guilt in the case. If he has nothing to hide, (the same arguement Bushco uses to justify domestic spying and the PAT ACT), then he should let them talk.

I read an answer which highlighted America as the greatest democracy in the world. I was wondering if this is a view many Americans or anyone else for that matter shares.
After all American is only a two party state compared to many European countries which employ proportional representation or have elections open to any party.
It took America a couple of decades longer than Britain and had to fight a civil war before they abolished slavery.
Theres never been a female president. America is still very much classist, the gap between the rich and poor is immense.
It is much harder to migrate, for what ever reason, to the US than many European countries.
Do Americans really believe that there the greatest democracy ever?

-He's a career politician (professional liar).
-He's a former Bush cabinet member (all habitual liars)
-If he admitted to a cover up the rest of his life would be ruined.
- And he would do anything to protect President Bush/Cheney.

Do liberals use global warming as a fear mongering tactic similar to the fear mongering they accuse cons of using with terrorism?

I mean, if you take a close look at almost every thing our national leaders favor or every major law they pass, it seems to run smack against whats best for the majority of the people in this country or just outright against whats best for the country. why is that?

nothing to do with 9/11"

Does he think we went into Iraq because of 9/11? Obama is really misguided, we went in not becuase of 9/11, but because of tha "deals"- which Obama is in favor of negotiating with rogue regimes- but Saddam did not adhere to the deals that were made. Dozens of times, he broke his "deals". At one point- do you say enough is enough? The USA did, when we invaded Iraq. NOT because of 9/11 and 9/11 was never used as a reason to invade Iraq.

Someone give Obama a history lesson, and you dems....the deals Saddam broke were deals he made with Bill Clinton.

Was it not the Taliban we were after in Afghanistan, because they were giving Al Qaeda refuge in Afghanistan?

How can we vote for a guy who doesnt understand the targets of wars?

My point is this- by ridding the country of the Taliban, you essentialy cut the head off the snake.

I didnt think it was that hard to understand, apparantly Obama needs help understanding these things.

I was stunned to watch CBS last night and learn that Condoleese Rice was in the Middle East yesterday meeting with Saudi Arabians.

Did you know the USA is arming the middle east because they said "Democracy" wasn't being embraced the way they had hoped for!

Duh!!! I can't imagine why!

They are not only giving tens of billions to them but also to Israel and they named a few other countries...it was on in the middle of the night so it didn't all quite sink in.

I just wonder what y'all feel about that???

Do you honestly ( in your heart of hearts) feel that there is no problem with our current leadership roles? How about the honestly level of those leaders? Do you not see the lies that have been told starting from the WMDs to the coverup of the murder of Army Ranger Pat Tillman? Looking for intelligent, honest replys.

they create a new department or program against the objections of their opponents then complain that their opponent isn't running it well? for example the dept of homeland security under George Bush then call him a dictator. Also, Social security was doomed from the start but noone wants to fix it except those running for president.

He says that if elected he will send troops to hunt down terrorists in Pakistan if the Pakistani gov't does not do so.

Isn't that like carrying a sign that says, "I supported a loser and still haven't come to terms with it yet?" Shouldn't hardcore democrats be more focused on '08 at this point?
