I personally think that it is just awful the way SOME republicans are willing to divide and conquer their own people...

If anything is costing the Republicans their share of votes these days - it's loose cannons on their own side that throw the baby out with the bathwater...

How can you claim to be a "true American" when you constantly say that despicable Fundamentalist Murderers are just like half the people in your own country???

Anyone else care to weigh in?

+ More than 9.25 million people are held in penal institutions throughout the world, mostly as pre-trial detainees (remand prisoners) or as sentenced prisoners. Almost half of these are in the United States (2.19m), China (1.55m plus pre- trial detainees and prisoners in ‘administrative detention’) or Russia (0.87m).

+ The United States has the highest prison population rate in the world, some 738 per 100,000 of the national population, followed by Russia (611), St Kitts & Nevis (547), U.S. Virgin Is. (521), Turkmenistan (c.489), Belize (487), Cuba (c.487), Palau (478), British Virgin Is. (464), Bermuda (463), Bahamas (462), Cayman Is. (453), American Samoa (446), Belarus (426) and Dominica (419).

+ However, more than three fifths of countries (61%) have rates below 150 per 100,000. (The rate in England and Wales - 148 per 100,000 of the national population - is above the mid-point in the World List.)

OK folks. Here's your chance to shine. Let's hear some real insight. Please, no cutsie 2-3 word answers. But some legitimate effort into it. We may all learn something from you!

P.S. I'm not giving Liberals the easy way out. Saying they would re-elect Bush is not an option. However, as a fair minded Conservative, I am more than willing to give Best Answer to a Liberal's answer. I don't favor people who share my views. I want to see scathing insight, and real imagination. Let the contest begin !!

I think we generally think that cons are either rich and selfishly electing people for their own best interest..ie.150k year...
The rest are just confused by the media and not conscious of truth in their world.... We do not think they have less intelligence, just less valuable life experience, such as multiple relationships and the mind expansion available from drugs...

Now what do cons think about libs?

Break people all up into their seperate agendas or identities. Then, each group demands something from the other groups but each groups feels they are just as entitled as anybody is to money, special treatments, etc.
Then, as more and more people become part of an organizations that relies on public funding, you have more and more people who define themselves as separate from everybody else. And the government, being the overseer of how money is doled out gets to dictate how it is to be used.
So basically, because everybody wants special treatment, everybody infringes on everybody elses rights to live their life without government interference. Is this going to happen?
Are we relying on government to empower us only to have the government take it away later?
The funny thing sort of about this is that everybody who pays taxes is just handing over their money to the government, who hands it out to special interests so they can demand equal treatment from other special interests.

Bush: 1,500 Terrorists Killed or Captured in Iraq Each Month

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/vlog/2007/08/bush_1500_terrorists_killed_or.html

Since 9/11 there have been zero terror attacks on USA soil. Is it because America is fighting them over there so we don't have to fight them over here.

One thing is for sure. Every month there are 1,500 less islamo-facists that can wage war on our soil.

Thank You George W. Bush and are wonderful troops!

Is it true that George Washington was a cannabal who ate children and if not was he a canabal at all? I was watching something on the American history channel that said it was....I'll never look at him the same way...it also said Ben Franklin was a practicing Satanist....I'm beginning to take history the wrong way....

I am glad there aren't but I am also surprised there aren't.

Or at least more Boehner & Obey episodes.

I think it must be difficult sometimes to hold your cool with all of the 'politicking' in Washington.

Hmm, maybe Washington is really no place for 'normal' folks?

In the next 10 days alone, Democratic fundraisers will feature the chairmen of the House's financial services panel and the House and Senate tax-writing committees. Senate Democrats also plan a fundraising reception during a major gathering of Native Americans in the capital Tuesday evening, an event hosted by lobbyists and the political action committee for tribal casinos, including those Jack Abramoff was paid to represent.

California Governor Gray Davis destroyed a law made by voters. The law would have taken away benefits from undocumented workers. The pro-amnesty Democrat governor spitted on Democracy by overriding the votes of citizens.

First, the ACLU sued to have the law struck down. The liberal 9th "Circus" Court (whose rulings have been overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court dozens of time) sided with the ACLU.

Then the Democrat killed the law by refusing to do his fiduciary duty to appeal Prop. 187 to the non-biased U.S. Supreme Court. Instead of appealing the law, the liberal sent the law into "arbitration". Arbitration is unheard of in a democracy. In arbitration, a group of hand chosen people were used to decide against the law.
That is about about as anti-American as it comes. Millions of California Democrats and Republicans went to the polls and voted for the law.

Davis was later kicked out of office and replaced by Arnold Swarzenegger.
