Politics - 14 September 2007

Here are two possibilities that I'd like to know if Bush supporters have considered or not:

1. Perhaps the reason liberals oppose everything Bush does so strongly is that they're tired of the President of the United States and his administration accusing them of giving aid and comfort to, and emboldening, the enemy, just because they didn't jump on his bloodthirsty little bandwagon.

2. Perhaps the reason Dems voted to authorize force if necessary and now oppose the war is because when they made that vote, they assumed that the Commander-in-Chief would use wisdom and discretion in managing this war, and not let it turn into the biggest fiasco in American history.

Possible?

Is a great slogan, and offensive to none of consequence.

Your thoughts?

That slogan only proposes seperation of Americans from the rest of the world. It creates a feeling of superiority that encourages hate, and ignorance.

It should be changed to "God bless all humanity", for those of you who believe.

Did Jesus say that he would bless only one land?

We have all kinds of socialism in the US. The road system is socialized, the air travel system is socialized (governments own most commercial airports, FAA operates air traffic control). The military is socialized. Schools are socialized. Police and fire departments are socialized. And there are many more examples.

I see some say we should do this from time to time...

I mean... last time I looked at the census.. the median income was around $25,000 which basically means that about 50 percent of people are a lay-off away from poverty... and aren't that far from it now...

what effect do you think that would have on America?

unemployment is low... right? so there aren't enough jobs for all of them that are unemployed...

just wondering how you think things would go?

I have to confess, that I sure didn't. I didn't know about the super highway either.

I guess my reason for asking is because for our own politicians, those who represent all of us, this stuff hasn't been a secret. They've made their plans and they're moving ahead. Why is it that the average citizen knows so little about this?

What can be done about these patriot acts ? How can this have happened without citizens being informed ?

When I say arguments I mean actuall arguments. Not something like "I sure hope she's not going to be president" or "Because any smart person wouldn't vote for her."

I'd hate to make generalizations but this is getting ridiculus.
The people who say they are the ONLY patriots claim universal healthcare is an evil.
The biggest arguement I've heard is that it'll 'cost too much of taxpayers dollars'.
So contibuting a little to a government that - in the global grand scheme of things - asks little of us citizens doesn't count as patriotism? So spending a little extra TO A GOVERNMENT YOU CAN FREELY PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO doesn't count as patriotism? Come on. What's wrong with saving lives,limbs, and houses?
I do recall that the CONSTITUTION says something about the rights to life, liberty, and property that should only be taken be due process, NOT by poverty.

This is a matter of loving fellow human beings, not of a liberal-conservative fight.

On Friday’s "Good Morning America," token conservative reporter John Stossel told portly filmmaker Michael Moore, "Forgive me. More of us look like you" and that obesity explains why Canadians live longer than Americans, not universal health care. Stossel appeared on the morning show to promote his program debunking the myth of "free," government-run health care. His "20/20" special, which will air September 14 on ABC, includes a quarrel with the left-wing director.
Stossel’s appearance on GMA, and his conservative take, also strongly contrasts with the morning show’s own coverage of government controlled health care. In June, Moore appeared on the program to promote "Sicko," his movie bashing the United States system of private care. Back then, GMA co-host Chris Cuomo mildly questioned the filmmaker’s trip to Cuba to lavish praise on the communist country’s health system. After the director noisily objected to this offense, Cuomo backed down, saying, "Look, I like the stunt."

1) We defeated Saddam, like we said we would if he didn't comply with the UN resolution for weopons inspections.

2) The Iraqi people drafted and ratified a constitution, creating their own government.

3) The Iraqi people held elections and formed a government. Remember then holding up the ink spots on their thumbs indicating they had voted?

4) We're killing Al Qaeda, and Al Qaeda has not attacked american soil since 2001.

5) The Iraqi government is distributing oil revenue to all the "tribes" in Iraq.

So congress is going to set benchmarks? Let them set their own benchmarks.

Only about 20 million people listen to Rush Limbaugh. The rest of us think he is a blowhard who will agree with anything any conservative in power says or does,and disagree to the same degree with any democrat. We believe this because it is mostly true, and we like to think for ourselves. And fox news is regarded as nearly the same. Do you not realize that we watch fox and then cnn and the others because we want all sides of a story and then decide the truth for ourselves? That's why the others do so much better, because liberals don't watch fox. Try it sometimes, you may realize that you don't agree with anyone in news or radio completely, and this is as it should be. If we all would think for ourselves, maybe the world would be a better place. Okay, maybe not the world, but at least our country.

Few politicians...PERIOD...have even explicitly condemned MoveOn.org's add about General David Patreus.
MoveOn.org may have similar views to Democrats, but have not declared itself as an engine of either political party. Therefore, WHY should Democrats be responsible for the isolated actions of the group MoveOn.org? WHY??
