I have a feeling the gay toilet stall senator Larry Craig wont be the last.
Who do you think will be the next republican to get caught for some bizzare gay sex crime?

Since 1949 the U.S. has given Israel a total of $83.205 billion. The interest costs borne by U.S. tax payers on behalf of Israel are $49.937 billion, thus making the total amount of aid given to Israel since 1949 $133.132 billion. This may mean that U.S. government has given more federal aid to the average Israeli citizen in a given year than it has given to the average American citizen.

The republicans are spending money hand over fist and are more fiscally irresponsible then most democrats.

They refused to shut the border down stopping every single problem that is associated with this extermely important issue. (Rome fell in part to thier lack of adherence their immigration laws)

And with the corruption and bathroom floor tapping the republicans have not exactly been the shinning example of morality.

So if you are a conservative and still a republican, why in the world would you still associate yourself with that party?

(I took on the liberals in the previous question so here is your chance to rationalize this nonsense)

The democrats campaigned on stopping the war yet now in command of congress the only actions they've taken are a non-binding protest and a troop SURGE!

They scream healthcare from the roof tops yet the United States is the only western industrial nation without universal healthcare.

They've always been champions of free speech yet wanted to pass an act that would stifle the medium of talk radio in an attempt to silence the conservative voice.

If you consider yourself liberal and are a democrat, please explain...

Your friendly neighborhood moderate (Don't worry the conservative republicans get it in the next question).

His race and his name. Note to anti-Obama voters; this is not an endorsement. I'm not voting for the guy because I don't like his politics. My suspicion is most Americans won't vote for him because of the other two reasons.

I've seen this time and time again. Questions that have nothing at all to do with this administration or its policies- liberals always come up with a way to bring Bush into it and bash him. Is this just the liberal disease of Bush Derangement Syndrome?

To all the ppl who think it was a conspiracy, this question is for you:

I dont exactly know how to phrase it, but, What are you trying to say when you say it was a conspiracy? I mean, who do you blame for it? I just dont undersatnd how it COULD be a conspiracy. I watched all these videos on YouTube. Some were actually pretty convincing like when they showed the pentagon (i think it was that building) blow up, but there was no plane.
Well, anyway Can someone please answer and explain?

George Bush Sr.,George Jr.,Bill and Hillary Clinton.
The damage they did,they are doing and plan on doing will be the end of the USA.
Like an old bathrooms plumbing that is in total disray,it's time to rip it all out and start anew.

John Edwards just said that his "universal health care coverage" would REQUIRE that people go for annual health checkups. Liberal facism has shown its face! I guess he either decided to tell the truth about the left wing's agenda, or else he has gotten tired of being marginally respected.

Im tired of the way things are.
the only people that can afford a friken presidential bid are the rich.
When they speak its obvious they dont give a hoop about the country,they are about their interests.Why cant we have a normal everyday type a guy or girl in the white house,a president that not only thought of benefiting hom or herself but the people of the united states.when i say an everyday person, i mean an educated,well-spoken,but not necessarily coming from a rich or famous last name, or being wealthy.

Especially right wingers seem to have to blame somebody for all our problems. Blacks, Arabs, lawyers, gays, teachers, atheists, hippies, communists, socialists, women, intellectuals, unions, the French, politicians, the media, environmentalists, feminists, the poor. And especially lately it all seems to be the illegal immigrants. Who's next?

Time is not relative, either. It can be anything from the current war in Afghanistan and Iraq to old hunter-gatherer wars over territories.

Think of it as a domino effect or a cause and effect relationship. While I realize all wars have some political, financial and civil impact, which war, in your opinion, set the most precedent?

as fiscal conservatives, not to mention guaranteeing Hillary's win (Karl Rove acknowledged Hillary's win on his last day when he went on Rush's show and had a meltdown over her) and the HUGE national debt which they have to help pay off - WITH INTEREST!

What evidence do you think they will "Leak" about Bush and Chaney after the Hillary's win?

Prior to the settling of European settlers?
It's commonly known that Vikings and other Northern countries knew of the New World (archeological evidence of trade) It is also commonly known that the warrior Native archers were deadlier accurate from farther away than any marksman with a modern rifle of the day.
Given the two facts above, how would you explain the 'take over' of the United States? Also please give insight as to why South America has not been as economically (even if for their own people) successful as North America?

He brought more media coverage to his party and the Democrats don't seem to care how they get their coverage or what their party members do to get that coverage.

No press is bad press to them. How would they have rewarded the Senator?
Republicans got rid of a bad apple. What would the Dems have done?

...if a Democrat were President? Could a President Hillary Clinton or a President Barak Obama have persuaded the North Koreans to abandon their nuclear ambitions?

Isn't there some advantage to having a mad man, a loose cannon, a reckless cowboy in the White House?

And aren't Democrats just terribly WEAK on National Security issues?
