I'm tempted to give examples of views from the left and the right , but I don't want to jade the discussion . I'd rather you focus on the question as a whole .
Tell me some of the issues that you honestly TRY to understand from the other side of the aisle .
Thank you .

Do YOU want to give welfare benefits to ILLEGALS? Both sides came together on the immigration bill issue.....how about this one? Should illegals qualify for tax payer funded welfare? Yes or No and state your party. If it is a NO--are you willing to do something about it?

ever heard? I'm a moderate to liberal Dem, and I don't know any dems that support any kind of extreme regimes or dictators, left or right. I think maybe Social Workers party might admire those, but not even Dennis Kucinich would praise Chavez or Castro. It's such a silly example of Hannity/Limgaugh/O'Reilly/Coulter and their black and white thinking.
If I think the USA would improve if it became a bit more like Canada, that means (to them) that I want North Korea???
Stop being so ridiculous. I don't even compare your Bush to Hitler. That's really stretching it too, but cons have major problems with cognitive distortions: fortune telling, all or nothing thinkng, disqualifying the positive, magnifying the negative, and jumping to conclusions.

Before the vote on the Agriculture spending bill for the next fiscal year, Republicans offered a nifty little motion to recommit so that illegal immigrants would not receive taxpayer funded government welfare. (My compliments to whoever thought that one up.)

Well, because a few of the Democrats can’t afford to have an ad in their next campaign saying he wanted to give illegal immigrants federal funds, Nancy Pelosi’s duct-taped majority sprung another leak. The motion to recommit, whose passage would scuttle the Democrats’ bill offering taxpayer benefits to illegal immigrants, was on the verge of passage, with 215 votes in favor and 213 votes opposed. Yet another ring was about to run around Pelosi and her bumbling leadership team.

Then it happened.
The presiding officer, the guy in the big chair with the gavel, was Democrat Congressman Michael McNulty, who would apparently make a compelling contestant on Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?, gaveled the vote closed – repeat

The issues of today beg for the truth to be uncovered ... What has happened to the independent, unstoppable, get at the facts at all costs, Journalists in our society?

Have they all been bought off? Are they beholden to a corporate emperor? Too many cutesy little public interest stories to get in the way?

This is a momentous time in United States History. Everything that has made this country great is on the line for future generations. Can't you pry yourselves away from Paris Hilton long enough to uncover some meaningful truth?

coz believe it or not there is TONNES more evidence AGAINST the American Government than the terrorists!!!!

eg- the structure of the towers should have been able to withstand the plane crashes AND they collapsed level by level, just like it would if BOMBS were placed in there!! if they collapsed from the planes, they would have tumbled.

2)the tape of Osama Bin Laden talking about planning 9/11 shows that it cant have been him. he is right handed, in the tape he was left and more..!!

3) bombs culd have been placed coz b4 9/11 they had heaps n heaps of security drills n that wen every1 was evacuated. this was tym 4 them 2 b able 2 plant bombs.

4) fire culdnt have made towers collapse coz the temperature was no way near hot enough to melt the frames, as proved by specialists in that area.

there is still so much more evidence i cant fit here!!!

but behind all these reasons is why the gov. wuld want 2 do this. they wanted a reason to start war with Iraq! u neva noe!

It's a proven fact. The most generous people are people who vote REPUBLICAN. The top 25 most generous states consist of people who voted for Bush in 2004.

The House last night unanimously agreed to create a special select committee, with subpoena powers, to investigate Republican allegations that Democratic leaders had stolen a victory from the House GOP on a parliamentary vote late Thursday night.

The agreement to form a special committee was extraordinary. Such powerful investigative committees are usually reserved for issues such as the Watergate scandal and the funneling of profits from Iranian arms sales to the Nicaraguan contras in the 1980s.

"I don't know when something like this has happened before," said House deputy historian Fred W. Beuttler. He called the decision "incred

I found out recently I had some SS officers in my family that fled to Uruguay, Paraguay and Switzerland at the end of WW2. Would you have a tough time living with that knowledge? I'm ashamed of where I came from now.

Last question:
"Why doesn't anyone set up a People's Party which listens to what the public wants and has honest politicians?"

When I said 'honest politicians' I meant US, the people who set up the party and represent the British people.
