1. Why did we start the war in Iraq.

2. Who won the first season of American Idol.

I'm guessing 30% get 1. correct and 90% get 2. correct.

are becoming more aggressive and narcissistic? It seems like parents are not teaching their children how to respect authority, to help the elderly, etc. Parents are taught to negotiate with their kids instead of disciplining them. Most teachers I know are simply working toward retirement and no longer enjoy teaching because kids are so misbehaved.

What do you think needs to be done to help our society? Does it take a village? Would teaching the Bible in schools help? What do you think would work?

In order to help relieve the tax burden should people be taught Not to consider entitlement programs as an option? Or if considering it, should it be a last resort after asking family, friends and church for help?
I believe too many people when finding themselves in financial difficulty are too quick to run to the government.
If the government was not there as a safety net would people just give up and die or would they find another way to survive?
I say they will find another way to make it.
Should tax payers take the burden simply because someone is too prideful to ask family or church?

In 1994 he told C-Span if the US invaded Iraq civil war would erupt, Iran and Syria would interfere and too many US lives would be lost.

In 2000 he told Tim Russert on NBC if the US invaded Baghdad, it would appear "we were an imperialist power, willy-nilly moving into capitals in that part of the world taking down governments. [Meet the Press, 8/27/00]

In the fall of 2004, the MSM repeatedly criticized Kerry for voting yes on one version of a war funding bill and no on another. Why didn't the media air these clips in time for voters to make an informed choice about Bush/Cheney?

Are they just pretending that they do not understand the difference and using "the race card" to unfairly accuse those that do not agree with their own political points of view?

don't get why people are so quick to believe slander or lible in this case just because it's what they want to here, it's scary to think that people are really this stupid.

go to www.youtube.com and type in Democrat Hypocrisy, and you will see Hillary Clinton, Barbara Boxer, Nancy Pelosi, John Kerry, and even Ted Kennedy saying how they believed there were WMD'S and that they thought we should go in as well as how they supported the president.

They all had the same intel so how was it a lie?

how is the war for oil, we wouldn't we have done air strikes, and would we still be fighting these people and would we care what that the insurgents are blowing up innocent woman and children if it were "just for oil"

I saw a video of terrorists who lined people up in the grass and kept shooting at them, it was the most horrifying thing I have ever seen, you think those people are right and we are wrong?

People need to put their sense of right and wrong before their politcal beliefs

I voted twice for Arnold Schwarzenegger for Governor and Kerry for Pres. I am Pro Choice and death penalty but anti illegal immigration. My daughter goes to parochial school but I am strong for the separation of church and state and can’t stand the religious right; anti Iraq war, but I strongly support our troops (military in my immediate family). In the past decade I have been registered Democrat, Republican, back to Democrat, and then Independent (which sucks because we can’t vote in the Dem/Rep. primary)

My mother gives me a hard time because she says I am “conservative,” and my father-in-law teases me because I am too “liberal.” When did the parties start defining our beliefs? If we join a party, is it all decided for us because it’s their party platform? You never hear politicians criticize their own group which leads to decay. I know I will get #$%$^ from both sides of the issue. Am I the only one out there looking for a party that won’t tell me what I should believe?

Neither of them have a snowball's chance.So do you think it is merely a tactic by the DNC to put them in the running? It does make the two front runners more appealing to independents--by comparison they could almost pass for moderates.

to do mathmatics as it seems their expense claims are nearly always wrong,but they probably get away with it, and yet members of the public overlook a small bill and big brother is threatening,court,prison and usually within a couple of days past the bill due date, do you think this is a case of one rule for them again and another for the public?

I think it's interesting that there are so many people who think Hillary stayed with Bill simply for her political career. I don't agree that's the whole reason, but let's play devil's advocate and say that she did. What does that make her? Ambitious, yes. Calculating, yes. Intelligent, yes. Knowing her history, this seems to be a woman who has harbored the dream of being President since her college days. Even when First Lady, I suspect she had her plan laid out to become a Senator, then the President. Why should she have let her husband's infidelity ruin those plans? If she would have had a harder time as a divorced woman, and it's pretty clear she would have, why let his idiocy ruin her plans? Why is that bad? Why is it okay for men to be calculating, ambitious and aggressive about protecting their career plans but not a woman?

Would love to hear some opinions on this.

-does it mean upholding the letter and the spirit of the constitution, even when politicians abuse it?

-does it mean sticking by a particular party or politician even when that person may have lied, acted immorally, or even acted criminally while in office?

-does it mean supporting the policies/agendas of a particular party or politician even when those policies/agendas conflict with the constitution or existing laws?

-can a person disagree and be critical of present day politicians, policies, current affairs, or political parties and still be considered to be a patriotic/loyal American?

Vick is a no good thug, yet because he is black, he gets support no one else would. Blacks everywhere should be embarrassed that the NAACP still continues to support Vick. What a great message to send to black youth. Go ahead, be a little hoodrat thug, its OK. We support you. Why is the NAACP still even around anymore?

I've heard some rabid lefties say this, but it makes no sense to me that something that costs money can be a right. Someone has to pay for it - and if it is the taxpayers then aren't those who don't pay taxes getting more rights? If it is my right, I should not have to pay for it.
