for the democrat's that is. As for the Republicans it would likely be an easy win all the way around
WASHINGTON - Looking past the presidential nomination fight, Democratic leaders quietly fret that Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton at the top of their 2008 ticket could hurt candidates at the bottom.

i think the answer to this is that people should have to pass an IQ test to be allowed to surf the internet unchecked..

My question is this.....
Will the next president of the USA use the Bush administration as a justification to act like a douchebag?
For example, "D!ck Cheney shot someone in the face, so why I can't I murder a homeless person?" It's executive privilage

Gore has refused all debate challengers to date. Joseph Bast, president of The Heartland Institute, noted, "Maybe it's because climate alarmists tend to lose when they debate climate realists. Or because most scientists do not support climate alarmism." The Heartland Institute has run more than $500,000 of ads in the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, and Washington Times promoting a debate.

Is anything this administration does OK with you as long as the U.S. doesn't suffer another attack?

...To defeat terrorism? Are you ready to pay as much tax and to get just as deep in debt as is required to overcome the threat against the USA?

Uruk orc platform:

Pro-Death: Orcs are pro-war. pro-abortion, for the death penalty, and for everyone having plenty of deadly weapons.

Taxes/ Economy: We don't really care since we don't have much income, but we would prefer to be able to do whatever we like.

Social issues: Laws? Whatever. The only law we need is someone bigger than us to lead. Might makes right.

Education: Huh?

Corruption: Good.

Leadership: We prefer strong leaders that can whip us into a frenzy.

I would like to hear your views about this.
And by economic justice I mean the growing gap between rich and poor, the lack of economic security for working class Americans, the unclear economic future for the majority of Americans who don't go to college, and erosion of public services like health care, senior care, education, housing, and transportation that used to provide a safety net for the working class who are, let's not forget, the overwhelming majority of us.

Who has promised to do anything specific about ANY of this?

1999 war games predicted problems in Iraq
Exercise showed that chaos was possible even with 400,000 troops
WASHINGTON - The U.S. government conducted a series of secret war games in 1999 that anticipated an invasion of Iraq would require 400,000 troops, and even then chaos might ensue.
In its “Desert Crossing” games, 70 military, diplomatic and intelligence officials assumed the high troop levels would be needed to keep order, seal borders and take care of other security needs.
“The conventional wisdom is the U.S. mistake in Iraq was not enough troops,” said Thomas Blanton, the archive’s director. “But the Desert Crossing war game in 1999 suggests we would have ended up with a failed state even with 400,000 troops on the ground.”

August 10, 2007 - A top seismologist is warning that another major earthquake is in our future, a big one that could devastate Southern California, from the desert to the sea.
Jones says that region is long overdue, and the seismic clock is ticking.

Jones says a magnitude 7.8 quake or more could collapse major freeways, knock down buildings in Downtown L.A., kill thousands of people and cause hundreds of billions of dollars in damage.

Officials in the Coachella Valley say they're taking her warning very seriously.

YOU'VE BEEN WARNED LIBERALS...we will not accept blame on this one.

White House opposes 3.5 percent pay raise

By Rick Maze - Staff writer
Posted : Wednesday May 16, 2007 17:47:40 EDT

Troops don’t need bigger pay raises, White House budget officials said Wednesday in a statement of administration policy laying out objections to the House version of the 2008 defense authorization bill.

Bush budget officials said the administration “strongly opposes” both the 3.5 percent raise for 2008 and the follow-on increases, calling extra pay increases “unnecessary.”

I think we can all agree except for the fascists, that Savage is protected in the Constitution with the first amendment. And there is a 10 million+ strong audience for Savage, so he certainly has people who agree with some of what he says.
Long live Savage!!!

(And don't get the wrong impression from that headline, the KKK act was passed to protect people against the KKk from gov retribution, like Savage should be protected from gov retribution.)

Do you think it's a good idea to report questions/answers you disagree with

or

do you think people should be grown up enough to deal with opinions different then their own?

I say bring on the racists, fundamentalists, fascists, and communists. Although I don't agree with them, it did make yahoo message boards alot more interesting.

On yahoo answers though, the treshold for reporting seems to be alot lower.
