There is currently a debate in the US over the benefits and drawbacks of socializing medicine. I went to England, and my friend was run over by one of your beloved "Smart Cars." He only broke his arm, though. They took care of him, put a cast on him, and were pretty polite about it. They did all of this for free.
Do you think we should have a similar system in place in the US?

I've been reading more comments from the liberal side that say we are not doing enough in this war, we need to invade another country as well, or are backing Obama's comments about continuing the war.
Will the Democrats, if elected to office, escalate this war as they did in Vietnam?
Vietnam went from a small presence of a few hundred troops, to a full blown war involving 100K drafted men and women.

First it is popular, out of the 7 people that watch news channels in America 4 of them watch Fox, so it's the best channel ever.
Second it's fair and balanced, I know this because fox news tells me all the time
Third, we fox news watchers may be the most uninformed of all news watcher but we like it that way, reality sucks for a republican right now, fox news takes me to a place where George Bush isn't insane and Ronald Regan is one small step below God
Fifth Fox don't make me feel dumb
Sixth Fox news makes hating groups of people cool,, just ask the gays.
Fourth they don't speak above our heads.
Seventh Fox news is easy to spell
Eigth If I don't want to think for myself Fox will do it for me.

So many people I know think that if Osama bin-Laden is captured or killed, that America's problems with terror will be over. People blame Bush for not going after him in Pakistan. I personally do not think the capture of Osama will end the terror threat to America. I think the terror threat comes from many places all over the globe

Bill O'Reilly speaks badly about respected leaders like Hugo Chavez, but Sean, an iconic liberal, meets and greets with His Honor Chavez.
Sean is the epitome of liberalism of today: Meeting with our enemies instead of denouncing them. Making friends with those that hate the US is FAR BETTER than villifying them!
Sean Penn, Danny Glover, Jane Fonda, Harry Belafonte-- these are real Americans and we should all applaud these leftists!
Bill O'Reilly and his bloated ego SUCKS!
Even though judging from his patterns of dress on his TV show, he will be wearing a blue tie tonight (it matches his eyes....)

If the GOVT performs covert actions with the intent of saving American lives, do you feel that everyone should know about it?
Do you feel that ultimately our GOVT's job is to safegaurd the lives of the American populace?

I'm pretty sure the first time any of you heard the word "Neo" you heard "Neo-Nazi" so that's what you associate with Neo-conservatism. "Neo" actually just means "new"; so calling conservatives "neocons" is actually a compliment, considering one of the biggest criticisms on conservatives is that they are out of date and old-fashioned.
Basically, since the term "Neocon" isn't an insult, why do you Yahoo!s use it as one?

We are at the lowest levels of unemployment for the past 3 decades at around 4.4%. Since 1980, only in 1999 and 2000 did we have lower unemployment than we do now. So why do people criticize the current economic situation?

If they can't figure out who will make a better alternative, how are they ever going to rally their base or capture swing voters? Will there strategy of a year long smear campaign against any democrat that steps foward work, or just turn the moderate minded people off like it did in the 2006 midterms?

Will it be President Bush, “neo-cons” and America in general?
Or will it be the perpetrators themselves?
If you choose to blame President Bush, “neo-cons” and America, do you also subscribe to the belief that women who are beaten by their husbands deserve it?
I acknowledge the fact that no-one can “make” anyone else do anything they don’t want to (i.e. we must all be accountable for our actions regardless of any positive or negative outside influences).
