"I belive the strength of America lies in the strength of her people. I am running for president because i want to keep America strong. That means a STRONG Military, STRONG Economy, and STRONG Families. We are facing many challenges, but America has always overcome these challenges in the past, and I am confident that we can do it again!"
-Mitt Romney

"The report was much weaker than economists were expecting. They were forecasting payrolls to grow by 110,000.
The drop of 4,000 jobs in August was the first decline since August 2003."

"We are socialists, we are enemies of today's capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and we are all determined to destroy this system under all conditions."

They don't respect the intelligence of their audience? They don't think their audience has the requisite smarts to deal with complex issues that involve multi-faceted perspectives.

If you hit on a guy in a bathroom, you're in big trouble with the law. If you hit on a babe in a bar the worst that can happen is you get your face slapped...or who knows...you might get lucky! Both venues are public places. Now if you actually do get naked in public and begin to seriously fool around I can see a problem, but why is it against the law to ask in the bathroom but not in the barroom?

Check this out:
Ron Paul is the only one that has real solutions to real problems. He cares about the American working man. His plans will help the poor, help the blue collar working man. His plans will ensure rights, freedom and liberty for all of us.

Here is proof:
http://www.ronpaul2008.com/about/...

1. Abortion Rights - Pro Life.
"The right of an innocent, unborn child to life is at the heart of the American ideals of liberty. My professional and legislative record demonstrates my strong commitment to this pro-life principle. In 40 years of medical practice, I never once considered performing an abortion, nor did I ever find abortion necessary to save the life of a pregnant woman."

2. Immigration - Against Illegal invasion. Supports secure borders.
"The talk must stop. We must secure our borders now. A nation without secure borders is no nation at all. It makes no sense to fight terrorists abroad when our own front door is left unlocked.

Why do they continue to expand their lead in polling for the upcoming Congressional elections....up to 18 points from 10 points last month...could it be that people are unhappy with Congress as a whole but realize that the Democrats are not the problem?

**And I asked it in the Politics section, because you are the people I communicate with most here on Y!A.**

WABC7, the local New York affiliate of the ABC network, has decided not to air that reading of the names of those that died in the 9/11 terrorists attacks next Tuesday. Many family members are offended by it.

It has been six years. Do you think ABC is right in switching to regular programming and skipping the name reading?

Your thoughts on this matter are greatly appreciated.

Many people keep saying socialism has existed for a long time in the USA. They point to municipal services, like water and sewerage. I can only assume these people live in a house or apartment where someone else pays the water bill. All municipal services come with a user fee. You pay a user fee at the gas pumps in the form of federal gas tax to use the highway system. Even Social Security has to be bought into.
Then there's education. The public school system is designed to provide equal opportunity, not equal outcome. It too is funded by the community, not the federal government.
So where is the socialism that has been here for years. Where are the federal programs that are funded to provide equal outcome, not equal opportunity?

Ohio has been a deciding factor in the Presidential elections in the last 2 elections. There was rampant corruption in the Republicans governer's office in Ohio, and, the state has been economically in a spiral downward since '01. Ohio elected a democratic governor, and Senator, last Fall. Recent polls show Ohio supports Democratic hopefuls over Republican hopefuls in a clear and definate advantage for the '08 race thus far. Will Ohio turn blue for the foreseeable future?

and state the same things over and over again do you ever wonder how many of them actually work for the various campaign staffs and are just seeking to influence others thinking by planting seeds for their candidates and tearing down others? I know that politics induces strong feelings but it seems that a lot of the same people continue to beat the same dead horse by simply re-wording the same question. I guess there's no real way to know huh?

I'm sure you've heard what Bush's response was to the Deputy Aussie PM when he asked about Iraq.. "We're kicking a$$". I hope I'm not the only who finds this hilarious, yet embarrassing for the lack of.. well many things. What do you all think of this?! :)

As an Englishman who is currently in the USA on business i feel i must ask this.
Recently i was in a bar in New York trying to get blotto, as i consumed my 36th pint of American lager(=shandy)i felt the sudden urge to puke my guts up .The toilets were over the otherside of the bar so i decided to into spew into a ladies handbag which she had left on the bar.As i was spewwing into the bag i noticed the lady ask the barman for a drink without saying PLEASE.If this is how Americans behave no wonder people think they are rude.

Getting a degree from Harvard is typically quite applauded compared to most average colleges.

I noticed that our school district recently hired a teacher who graduated from Harvard. The teacher will get the same salary as other teachers.

Would you like your kid to have exposure to teachers from prestigious universities? Do these teachers deserve the same pay or better pay?

How likely are our schools to attract more accomplished teachers if we pay them the same salary as other teachers?

Or, is getting a teacher from a prestigious university not worth while?

If you wanted to become a teacher, would you be wasting a ton of your own money if you went to a top-tier university instead of another college for your education since your pay likely won't be any better?

Do Dems end up giving us mediocrity by supporting teachers unions?
