When the state provides all your needs, why should you look for a job? Are we now are we coming to realize that the “benevolent paternalism” of a LIBERAL Nanny State government does more harm than good? Has anyone seen our inner cities that vote blue for more 'goodies'?

I'm just wondering what conspiracy theories there are. Such as things dealing with 9/11 or landing on the moon. Anything you know dealing with that kind of thing

Is this a selling point to the American people that the US needs to go to war with Iran?

CNN exit polls showed that about 65% of those who earn less than $15,000 voted for Democrat Kerry in 2004. And, about 65% of those who earn MORE than $200,000 voted for Republican Bush.

I believe the polls also showed that Republicans were also more likely to be regular church-goers.

So is a person's willingness to support a party's platform largely determined by his/her income and belief in religion?

We have countries fighting eachother constantly. If an invasion from another planet came, could the people of earth forget all that divides them such as culture, religion, color, values, and fight together for mankind?

... and send the money to Haiti.

Pelosi's flight to California this weekend could have fed 90,000 in Haiti.

What will Nancy do to help the truly poor people?

Will Edwards give up his $400 haircuts to feed 400 people for a day?

I have some friends who are Conservative and some who are Liberal. Should I say I'm Conservative [which I'm not] to the Liberals, I'll get a mouthful. Should I say I'm Liberal to [which I'm not] to the Conservatives, I'll also get a mouthful.

It isn't just me. This melodramatic attitude is everywhere, and I think people take it way too seriously. I also think they're just trying to put on a show.

I disagree with a lot of people about a lot of things. For one, I hate anything but sauce and cheese on my pizza. You don't see me going around and sending death stares at people who get 200 toppings on their pizza. While pizza isn't the same as politics because politics involves running a country, they are parallel in that they both involve opinions.

My question: Why can't all of these immature and bratty politic-hounds accept each others' differences and MOVE ON? Why is everyone so dramatic?

Yeah, yeah, I know, all the idiot libs think their guy is going to win. Just like last time. And the time before that. In fact, libs put only 2 democrats in the White House in the last 38 years! Apparently, America thinks libs are a whiny bunch of losers who are best suited for keeping the bench warm. In spite of the likely outcome, libs work themselves into a frenzy believing they will win, only to get equally frenzied about assigning blame (it's never their stupid ideas that voters reject) to someboby else when they lose. So, have they picked out any scapegoats yet?

It's quite different from normal conservatism and I hate how it misued. Originally Neo-Conservatives had learn the ideology at university thats why its so different. Read up about it and stop calling every Con you meet a neo-con. You make other people who are left of centre (like me) look dumb.

It is clear the republicans clearly represent policies that favor the rich and wealthy, so from an economic self interest point of view it is illogical for that support to exist. Please name then, the other reasons why ordinary joe american would be a republican.

I've taken a sudden interest in U.S./ world history.

Educated answers that aren't too complicated to understand for a beginner like me, is what I'm mainly looking for.

When you really think about it, Liberals came first, didn't they?

When America was a Brittish colony, it was liberal types who opposed the rule of a monarch thousands of miles away. It was a liberal ideology, a questioning of authority, and an anti-establishment way of thinking that made America what it was back then - and what it is today!

Liberals came before conservatives, when you really think about it. Had there been nothing but conservatives back then we would still be ruled by some guy in London to this very day.

Do you see my point?

Do you agree?

White House wants more time on subpoenas By DEB RIECHMANN, Associated Press Writer
Sat Aug 18, 12:18 AM ET
CRAWFORD, Texas - The White House on Friday asked a Senate panel for more time to produce subpoenaed information about the legal justification for President Bush's secretive eavesdropping program.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy had set Monday as the deadline for administration officials already subpoenaed to provide documents and testimony about the National Security Agency's eavesdropping program.
In a letter to Leahy, White House counsel Fred Fielding argued that the subpoenas called for the production of "extraordinarily sensitive national security information," and he said much of the information — if not all — could be subject to a claim of executive privilege.
Fielding asked Leahy to suspend the deadline until after Labor Day.

history repeats itself again, yet with another republican president.

cons, this is what you project. deal with it!
