Why is abortion the only platform conservatives seem to care about and are so bent on electing politicians who use this rhetoric to get elected?
I find it strange that conservative people care so much about the unborn, but not about people who are alive and struggling today. I understand the thought that abortion is not moral, but isn't war, murdering innocent people, unnecessary poverty, prejudice, taking from the poor and middle classes to become wealthy and powerful also immoral? Should the abortion platform be the MOST important issue when you are voting or is there a much broader range of important issues to be thinking about?

I personally love Joe's positions on a lot of the issues, but feel he isn't really running but to position himself as Secretary of State or Defense.

He's clearly the best candidate but with less than 2% of the poll and no money he won't get anywhere.

Bush Sr. was a top-mark student, a hero in WWII, an excellent athlete, and a great businessman.

George W. Bush earned a D average at Harvard, was a draft dodger, an alcohol addict, a male cheerleader, and a miserable businessman.

All in all, I would choose Bush Sr. to be my President again anyday over George W. Bush.

"What haunted me more than anything else was that [President Clinton] refused to make a decision. Human lives were at stake – the lives of American service members and the lives of our allies who opposed Saddam at our behest and were now under attack. At a time when America’s honor and grander principles were being challenged and the world was watching our every move… the president was watching golf. ...I approached the president and said, “Sir, our aircraft are ready, bombs loaded, and waiting for your command…His reply destroyed my faith in him as commander-in-chief and convinced me that the greatest security risk to the United States was none other than…the president himself."


— Lt. Col. Robert “Buzz” Patterson, USAF (Ret.), author of “Dereliction of Duty: The Eyewitness Account of How Bill Clinton Compromised America’s National Security,” recalling his three different attempts to pull Clinton away from watching the Presidents’ Cup long enough to give the go-ahead to bomb Iraq)

"We are socialists, we are enemies of today's capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and we are all determined to destroy this system under all conditions."

some groups of people tend to make decisions based on their emotions and then try to justify their decisions after the fact, with circumstantial evidence that they now label, "facts". after this point they become unreachable by logic. and i'm not talking about republicans

A previous post had the following as part of the question. Words fail me as to just how wrong and sick this idea is. I'm just dumbfounded.

"Unwed mothers who cannot afford to support their child will have it removed and taken to a group home where it will be raised, educated, and taught decency from a young age. Why not Foster Care you ask - too many problems and variables. Group homes can be monitored more closely."

Talk about a socialist state! I bet this person thinks Hilary is wrong when she says it take a village to raise a child.

Bush Sr. once stated that if we invaded Iraq a second time, we would eventually have to withdraw, and a thug that would make Saddam look like a saint would take over. This was back in the 90s. One of the main reasons why George W. Bush invaded was that Saddam hired someone to assassinate Bush Sr. and Bush wanted revenge. Indeed, he once referred to Saddam as "the man who tried to kill my father." George Bush Sr. warned his son over and over again not to invade Iraq, and that he made a mistake in invading Iraq the first time during the Persian Gulf War, but his son would not listen. Sr. even started to get choked up at a speech when asked about his son's legacy after he leaves offcie, which will be fixed on the Iraq War, and many think he sees how much of a mess his son got this country is. I give Sr. credit. He was not that bad of a President for America compared to his son and it seems he has more sense than his son.

It's nearly time to vote for the next President... and as an exercise lets run a little test real fast. Which of these men would you vote for.

Candidate A.

Associates with crooked politicians, and consults with astrologist He's had two mistresses. He also chain smokes and drinks 8 to 10 martinis a day.


Candidate B.

He was kicked out of office twice, sleeps until noon, used opium in college and drinks a quart ofwhiskey every evening.


Candidate C

He is a decorated war hero. He's a vegetarian, doesn't smoke, drinks an occasional beer and never cheated on his wife.



So, do you think you are above spin and propaganda? I would have thought I was until I voted for candidate C. Did anyone else choose the same as I did? If so, you just voted for Adolf Hitler. Candidate A was Franklin D. Roosevelt and B is Winston Churchill. Maybe this election.. we should listen less to the media and do more of our own research on the candidates.. what do you say?

By allowing the psychos to think they're large in number, the rest of you encourage them to continue pushing insane legislation and such, harming the country.

your opinion, is the current drop of 1000 for the DOW a symptom of failed Republican policy of the last few years or is it unavoidable and just part of a natural cycle? You must address the national debt and current Admin. policy

The U.S. is about to label the Iran Guard as a terrorist organization. I wonder which one of Bush's friends did they upset this time? It's really a joke but it's somewhat scary how some people fall for all this "terrorist" bullshit.
