Are they all going to visit Chavez because they know we'd be too happy to bomb them along with Bin Laden if they went to visit him?

Are they stupid or something? He is just one guy in a huge bureacracy. We would be out of Iraq by now if Bush didn't run into the do-nothing but complain politicians in office.

As soon as the Bridge collapsed last week, Libs were coming out of the wood work saying it was Bush's fault. Appropriately the conservatives corrected them that Bridges are a state and county afair and have NOTHING to do with the federal govt or the executive branch and that Minnesota is a Blue state. We also pointed out to them that a 3rd grader should know that. This is after also pointing out to them that Bush doesnt control Hurricanes as he's been blamed for all of those, and earth quakes and tsunamis. So what is it, what .org blogs or Mikey Moore Documentaries are libs getting these strange ideas from and why do they cancel out what ever small amount of common sense that they have in their heads?

Over the course of its existence, our planet has been much colder and much warmer than it is today, having endured periodic ice ages and various cataclysmic natural events. That being the case, why would anyone choose to believe that human beings are responsible for the earth's most recent, and relatively mild, climatic shift?

It isn't President Bush's fault, or your lender for that mater, that your home is being forclosed you over extended yourself and now you are paying the price.

You had sex and got pregnant, than take responsibility for your actions, and have the baby. If you can't afford a child, give the baby up for adoption.

It isn't the governments job to give you money, get you a good job, pay your bills, take care of your kids, give you food, or any other thing that responsible people in the country do. Time to grow up and get on your own two feet.

I hear a lot about people 'sending troops' here or there or sending our 'kids off to die'. I never asked anybody ever to join the military, personally. That's a personal decision that adults make for themselves.

According to a recent online poll held at webcosmo.com, a free classified ad site, 83% people believe
that gas prices are largely being manipulated by politicians.

When asked "Is gas prices largely being manipulated by politicians?" 83% of respondents voted Yes,
9% respondents voted No, and 6% respondents voted Not Sure.

Petroleum politics have been an increasingly important aspect of international diplomacy since
the discovery of oil in the Middle East in the early 1900s. As competition grows for an
increasingly scarce but vital resource, the strategic calculations of major and minor countries
alike place more prominent emphasis on the pumping, refining, transport and use of petroleum
products.

Like to hear your opinion.

Universal health care is all the rage on the Left. John Edwards and Barack Obama have unveiled plans for government medicine. Since 1993, Mrs. William Jefferson Clinton has been this idea’s poster girl. And why not? As this cause’s advocates insist, every American has a right to medical treatment.

“I want to set a goal of universal, quality, affordable healthcare for every single man, woman, and child,” Hillary Clinton said July 3 in Iowa. As Senator John Kerry (D., Mass.) has explained, “I’m committed to universal healthcare coverage because, in America, healthcare is not a privilege, it’s a right.”

But why stop there?

Rather than target public assistance to the needy, Uncle Sam should do more. Lots more.

In 2003, for example, the then-GOP Congress and the Republican White House enacted Medicare drug benefits for all seniors, including multi-millionaires. Similarly, Washington should shower tax dollars on national challenges, like a plane spraying fire retardant on a blazing forest.

So, after 231 years of rugged individualism, the time is now, as Eva Peron sings in Evita, for “a government able to give us the things we deserve.”

Washington owes America the Omnibus Universality Act of 2007. This comprehensive reform would offer citizens a cornucopia exploding with delights:

Universal food. Every American has a right to food. Without it, you starve. We cannot let the savage free market control something as life-or-death as starvation prevention.

Government Food Stamps already help poor people buy groceries. That does not go far enough. Low-income Americans still must choose from among Safeway, A&P, Whole Foods, and more. Having picked a store, more choices await: Meat or fish? Fresh peas or frozen? Coffee or tea? If tea, hot or iced?

How dare we force the poor, or anyone else, to make so many decisions?

The new Federal Food Board’s menus will be balanced, tasty, low-calorie, protein-rich, transfat-poor, free-range, and free of charge. Once the FFB controls those competing grocery stores, it will be a snap to assure that every FFB Calorie Maintenance Center provides just enough of these foodstuffs. To guarantee that Americans don’t eat too much, or too little, Universal Food Stamps will be mailed to every home with that month’s ration schedule. Cuba has perfected this system. It could be imported quickly and easily, without wasting precious time on new FFB feasibility studies or detailed guidelines.

Universal housing. Every American has a right to housing. Without it, you freeze, especially in iceboxes like Chicago. That’s where Cabrini Green once stood. The government began blowing up much of that massive housing project in 1995. Nevertheless, its blueprints must exist somewhere. Washington should follow them to construct millions of similar units. Every American will receive free housing. Imagine the joy when we all share a single landlord.

Universal transportation. Every American has a right to transportation. Without it, you’re stranded. Every city without a subway system should get one. Existing subways should expand and offer even more stops. As for long distances, let high-speed trains crisscross the country. And why not use abandoned Air Force B-52s to fly people from coast to coast? Of course, everyone rides for free.

Universal clothes. Every American has a right to clothes. Without them, you’re naked.

Once the new Federal Style Council nationalizes the Gap, Brooks Brothers, Abercrombie & Fitch, Victoria’s Secret, and more, every American will have the free clothing needed to stay warm and dry, according to FSC standards. Every American will get new, uniform garments for work or play, specially crafted to eliminate design disparities and spare certain people the discomfort of looking unfashionable. Those navy-blue and bamboo-green outfits that took Peking by storm in the 1960s would make excellent patterns for such simple, easily maintained, ready-to-wear attire.

Universal shoes. Every American has a right to shoes. Without them, you’re barefoot. And that’s no way to walk around this Great Society. The same principles apply as with Universal Clothes, but with respect to your feet.

Yes, these are big changes. But the American people will understand them — and they will like them — thanks to a series of instructional motion pictures that will make all of this perfectly clear. And the ideal film company already exists to produce them:

Universal Studios.

2500 years ago, the Athenians had the right idea. Every year, 500 citizens where chosen by a lottery, to be the congress for a year. Our carrier politicans don't do any good, becasue they can't speak out, or make decisions, even if they want too.

No one would be forced to vote. But maybe they would have greater opportunity to vote. Perhaps a longer period of time. Or maybe internet voting, or some other things that make it easy and convenient.

Its sad that generally less than half of all Americans vote. Poor people rarely vote.

How can we get more people to vote?
