If it were between Hillary Clinton , Rudolph Guiliani , and Michael Bloomberg , who would you vote for? Do you have enough of party politics?

of all the G.W jokes? No one really cares anymore, you aren't being funny. He's our president whether you like it or not, and no amount of whining or complaining is going to change that. Read the constitution. People just need to suck it up for another year, how hard is that going to be?

Its frequently been said that September is basically a deadline to see if the surge is working and things are improving in Iraq. Meaning that if things are going badly we might look to finally pull out. But if significant improvements are shown then it would justify continuing the mission.

Are you worried that the Bush administration might try to misrepresent what is really going on in Iraq? Do you think they might try and make us think things are improving so that the public will support an ongoing war?

Bush is harrassed daily by people that will not even give him the benefit of doubt on his belief that a free Iraq can actually lead to change for the better in the middle east.

Change cant happen over night but come on people. I am a democrat and personally it bothers me that many on the right and left dont realize that Dictatorships are counter productive and create human rights violations carried out legally in any particular country.

Iraq was a great place to start. It is the HEART of the middle east. Im not saying lets go to war with every country but lets set goals in promoting freedom and liberty because in the end you wont have to go to war with these dictatorships, but their own people will demand change.

What do you think? Do you think that the mainstream news network gives us real news? Or are they simply playing to bigger interests other than the people, the viewers, etc?

I say I want to leave Iraq and go after Osama... and I constantly get called "unpatriotic" on here?

you guys are the ones that all but REFUSE to go after Osama... the man Republicans CLEARLY pinned the 9-11 attacks on themselves...

yet they run to Iraq that had very few 9-11 links and then question my patriotism?

how about a little explaination Repubs? I find it borderline sickening when you continue to make excuses for not going after Osama...

Which one has the biggest dollar signs in their eyes when it comes to running for president? I think it's a toss up between Rudy Giuiliani and Hillary Clinton.
I would put Dennis Kucinich, Mike Gravel and Ron Paul as the least greedy. They know they don't have a chance at winning. They must be running for other reasons. I think Barack Obama wants to change the government and go down in history as a truly great president and to do his heritage proud.
Thats my sense of the race. What's yours?

Canada isn't nearly as cool a place now as it was 20 years ago. Seems that there is a lot more racism and hatred now, bullying in schools to the point on deaths etc.. Multiculturalism destroyed Canadian culture and replaced it with a bunch of Politically Correct nonsense... People want to come here because it's a great place. Our culture is what made it great.. now it's becoming little pockets of the most screwed up places on earth. I think it's time we put that PC crap away and just accepted that Western culture is superior to the Taliban or to India or China or wherever... It's O.K. to say that...Why aren't people trying to get into China, or India, or Saudi Arabia, or Egypt or Quatar or UAE....Because it sucks there...it's O.K. to say that...

Chelsea Clinton works for a hedge fund. This is where the rich go to become richer. Is this a good thing to have the daughter of a political dynasty working where she can make such fantastic sums of money? I would prefer if she toiled to help the less fortunate. I think the Clinton's are all about making a lot of money, as Bush was.

Climate scientist James Hansen, director of NASA's Goddard Institute of Space Studies, agreed: "You cannot blame a single specific event, such as this week's storm, on climate change," he said.

"However," he added, "it is fair to ask whether the human changes have altered the likelihood of such events. There the answer seems to be 'yes.'"

Mistake in the War On Terrorism

Michael Sullivan wrote:

President Bush did make a bad mistake in the war on terrorism. But the mistake was not his decision to go to war in Iraq. Bush's mistake came in his belief that this country is the same one his father fought for in WWII. It is not. Back then, they had just come out of a vicious depression. The country was steeled by the hardship of that depression, but they still believed fervently in this country. They knew that the people had elected their leaders, so it was the people's duty to back those leaders. Therefore, when the war broke out the people came together, rallied behind, and stuck with their leaders, whether they had voted for them or not or whether the war was going badly or not. And war was just as distasteful and the anguish just as great then as it is today. Often there were more casualties in one day in WWII than we have had in the entire Iraq war. But that did not matter. The people stuck with the President because it was their patriotic duty. Americans put aside their differences in WWII and worked together to win that war. Everyone from every strata of society, from young to old pitched in. Small children pulled little wagons around to gather scrap metal for the war effort. Grade school students saved their pennies to buy stamps for war bonds to help the effort. Men who were too old or medically 4F lied about their age or condition trying their best to join the military. Women doubled their work to keep things going at home. Harsh rationing of everything from gasoline to soap, to butter was imposed, yet there was very little complaining. You never heard prominent people on the radio belittling the President. Interestingly enough in those days there were no fat cat actors and entertainers who ran off to visit and fawn over dictators of hostile countries and complain to them about our President. Instead, they made upbeat films and entertained our troops to help the troops' morale. And a bunch even enlisted. And imagine this: Teachers in schools actually started the day off with a pledge of allegiance and with prayers for our country and our troops! Back then, no newspaper would have dared point out certain weak spots in our cities where bombs could be set off to cause the maximum damage. No newspaper would have dared complain about what we were doing to catch spies. A newspaper would have been laughed out of existence if it had complained that German or Japanese soldiers were being "tortured" by being forced to wear women's underwear, or subjected to interrogation by a woman, or being scared by a dog or did not have air conditioning. There were a lot of things different back then. We were not subjected to a constant bombardment of pornography, perversion and promiscuity in movies or on radio. We did not have legions of crackheads, dope pushers and armed gangs roaming our streets. No, President Bush did not make a mistake in his handling of terrorism. He made the mistake of believing that we still had the courage and fortitude of our fathers. He believed that this was still the country that our fathers fought so dearly to preserve. It is not the same country. It is now a cross between Sodom and Gomorrah and the Land of Oz. We even have the wicked witch of the west as the new Speaker of the House of Representatives. We did unite for a short while after 911, but our attitude changed when we found out that defending our country would require some sacrifices. We are in great danger. The terrorist are fanatic Muslims. They believe that it is okay, even their duty, to kill anyone who will not convert to Islam. It has been estimated that about one third or over three hundred million Muslims are sympathetic to the terrorists cause...

Hitler and Tojo combined did not have nearly that many potential recruits.

We either win it - or lose it - and you ain't gonna like losing.

So YOU better think about THAT!!!!!!!!!

Let's say for the sake of proving a point that 3,700 soldiers have been killed in Iraq in four years of fighting. FOUR YEARS.

Okay, let look at this:

September 11, 2001:

2,993 Americans were killed in two hours.


Those 3700 soldiers are dying for you, so they can ensure that another 2993 won't die in two hours.

So please, to all of those people complaining, please stop. I know people over there, and many of you do, too. We aren't making their lives any easier.

PS.

I do believe in this War, for those wondering.
Please excuse the numbers, they were gained from Wikipedia, and we all know that website is not always correct.
