They say "law abiding" citizens should be able to have guns. How do you know when some "law abiding" citizen will turn in their good life for a life of crime? How do you know that someone will just get so angry that they will not shoot someone? Don't you see...anyone can take someone else's life by simply pulling that trigger. Just because someone followed laws before they bought a gun does not mean you can trust them with a gun. Also why do people say they need guns? When the second amendment was written our country did not have an organized police force or army and we had just ended the Revolutionary war. People DID need to protect themselves back then. They also needed to hunt for food on occasion. They did not just kill animals for sport. We do not need guns but if we are going to have them then we NEED restrictions on them. It is not about restricting your rights...it is giving every American fear from being shot and or killed with a gun.

I'll give you the reasons why we are not right now:

1. The Soviet Union had 2,500 missles capable of launching Nukes the U.S. any moment. Chinese ICBM's take hours to launch and they have probably 50 capable of reaching the U.S.. Basicaly we would destroy China before they launched any missles, or if they did lauch all of them could not destroy our country, though ours would wipe them out completely.

2. China's navy and military is not capable of offensive operations around the globe, they could dominate asia, but it would be impossible to launch an attack on the west. The U.S. miltary can strike anywhere in the world.

3. Our allies make U.S.-Sino war undesirable to them, not to mention our economies. It would be a lose lose situation for them.

4. I don't believe we could conquer or occupy china, there military is suited to A) a limited invasion of Taiwan(which they have been preparing for sometime) and B) a war of attrition defending the homeland.

If there were some type of terrorist action (non-nuclear and contained) against America a month or two before the election, and in response to that, George Bush called a national state of emergency and halted the election... would you support him?

And for the inevitable posts devoted to telling me what a paranoid alarmist I am... don't bother. This is purely hypothetical.

And why don't they know that the Pentagon, and every American intelligence agency has concluded that Saddam had no ties to Al Qaeda, NO WMD, and NO CONNECTION TO 9/11?

Let's assume that all the 2008 Presidential candidates will answer ANY questions you ask them with total honesty.

What questions would you ask them?

but cost us defeat...and they are doing it again...

Much has been made about President Bush's recent comments comparing the known fallout in SE Asia after our precipitous withdrawal from the Vietnam War – genocide in Cambodia, re-education camps and mass exodus from South Vietnam. And yet defeatists continue to use the Vietnam War as their case for comparison and the foundation for their call for immediate withdrawal.

Here's what they are if you don't know:
Neocons(Bush and McCain)-Respect the U.N., want to police the world, think economically and globally, more government, more spending, pure capitalists, but disregard the border, send jobs oversees, support Wal-Mart and big business, Christian but more secular, Cold Warish attitude, etc.

Palecons(Ron Paul, Romney, Tancredo)-Don't like the U.N., anti war for the most part, stronger border advocates(all we need to do is secure border,not invade other countries), less government, less spending, low taxes, think socially and internally, decently capitalist, keep American jobs, support Mom and Pop businesses, Christian, realistic attitude, etc.

""AP) One after another, the men and women who have stepped forward to report corruption in the massive effort to rebuild Iraq have been vilified, fired and demoted.

Or worse.

For daring to report illegal arms sales, Navy veteran Donald Vance says he was imprisoned by the American military in a security compound outside Baghdad and subjected to harsh interrogation methods. ""

I vaguely remember something called the Korean War. We invaded Korea and blew them back but that we had hit a speed bump with China. Now im not trying to bash non-supporters of the war but modern North Korea came from the fact that we didn't finish the job in Korea. Do you really want another country like North Korea in the Middle East? We signed a cease fire instead of a finishing the job. Here are the similarities see if you agree.
Truman= Bush
Eisenhower= 2008 Democratic Nominee
Korea= Iraq
China= Iran (supplying weapons to insurgents)

I'm saying we should vote for a president who will finish the job(actually winning the war not withdrawing early) so history doesn't repeat itself. Agree?

Americans who reported that weapons were being sold in iraq, for cash, no receipt, were detained as 'security prisoners' and subjected to torture.

What will it take for bushies to decry the actions of this gang?

Which county invaded the British colonies in the Americas to kick out the British and gave us our Constitution? None. We did it mostly ourselves with some help from the French.

Which country invaded France to kick out the monarchy when they became corrupt. None. The French people rose up and did it themselves.

Which Country invaded India to kick out the British there? None, they did it themselves.

If the Iraqis really wanted freedom they would have risen up and done it themselves. Why do we have to impose democracy of people who don't really want it?

no education means more jail time.
so we are building jails instead of schools.
no health insurance for 50 million costs us anyway.
these Republican ideas serve no purpose like the Republican party platform and their war in Irak.
the Irak war will cause Hillary to raise taxes to pay for it.
