Thanks for the advice justgoodfolk ...... you are right there are conservatives that can be trusted and I know some of them here, but Liberals are overwhelmingly good people on Yahoo answers.

When I think what made this country great I think of a couple things.
1) transcontinental railroad
2) interstate system.
It comes down to having infrastructure that promotes trade. Panama is supported almost entirely on the canal. We should encourage any and all infrastructure that improves trade. Thats my take on it whats yours?

Without knowing anything about it, Republicans are already blasting it and renewing their angry cries that she's a socialist. Do republicans, honestly, even care about this issue? Isn't it relevant that every other modern country in the world basically has universal health care?

Simple vote,which is most important concerning Health Care in the US:
1) Control costs through government intervention.

2)Make health care available through a government funded(Tax Supported) program.

Simply put,Tax and Spend or
Cut and Save.

Do you think it would be a good idea to have a democratic debate structured for military personnel , past and present ?
I haven't heard this suggested before , but if it has and there's any way to join in the support , please do give me a link . They've run the gamut already with other groups . Everything from Spanish debates to the Daily Kos !!

Anyway , I think that it would be a great idea to have a debate in Iraq. . . with the military personnel as the audience and as the ones who ask the questions .

Agree ? -- Disagree ? -- Why ?

And please don't list 'security' as a reason that they can't do it in Iraq , cause everyone of us already knows that countless congressmen and senators have gone there with no problem whatsoever .

Try to be fair and rational .

Greenspan clarifies Iraq war and oil link

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Clarifying a controversial comment in his new memoir, former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said he told the White House before the Iraq war that removing Saddam Hussein was "essential" to secure world oil supplies, according to an interview published on Monday.

"I was not saying that that's the administration's motive," Greenspan said in the interview conducted on Saturday. "I'm just saying that if somebody asked me, 'Are we fortunate in taking out Saddam?' I would say it was essential."

"George Bush's presidency has been distinguished by nothing so much as his consistent disregard for the Constitution.

He wages war without required Congressional declarations.

He orders spying that is in direct conflict with the 4th Amendment. He permits tortures and extraordinary renditions that violate the 8th Amendment,

Above all, the President disregards the basic requirement of shared governance. He shows little respect for the separation of powers, let alone for the system of checks and balances that requires Congress to participate in domestic and foreign-policy decision making. "

What do the Yahoo population in the US feel about the status of the Constitution in the light of the Bush Administration. I'm curious how republican's feel, as I perceived (from Ireland) that they held the constitution as almost sancrosanct? (right to bear arms et al?)

**First off, I know this doesn't belong in the Politics section but I DO prefer the views and opinions of the politics users (from any political spectrum.) Thanks**

I just read an article (see above) that says that some cities are starting to crack down on people who wear sagging pants. Some say it is a good idea, others say it is an example of racial profiling (young black men are more often than not the ones you see with the saggy pants.)

Do you think law enforcement officials are overeacting?

CHECK OUT HOW A LOUISIANA TOWN IS HANDLING IT:
Proposals to ban saggy pants are starting to ride up in several places. At the extreme end, wearing pants low enough to show boxers or bare buttocks in one small Louisiana town means six months in jail and a $500 fine.

Your thoughts please? Thanks!

My program will require EVERYONE to change their oil in their car every 3 months or 3000 miles. If you go 3 months and a day, or 3001 miles, the money will be deducted from your pay and you will be FORCED to get an oil change.

If you don't own a car, don't worry. If you can afford one, you will be required to purchase one, or the money will be deducted from your pay (the amount of a new Cadillac) and you will get an old Ford Pinto. If you cannot afford one, the government will buy you a new Cadillac for you every 3 years.

Can I count on your vote?

Even after some of these men were cleared of all charges Murtha has not apologized. Why do the dems want to call our troops names even before they are convicted like Durbin calling our troops nazis have these men no shame?

Face it, Hillary Clinton should have known better; but went with politics. She will let us down again and it won't surprise me. It will surprise you if you put her in office.

I know a lot of people don't want to "throw away their vote" on a third-party candidate. But just suppose that the system changed to make it easier for a third-party candidate to get into office, or Nader got the nomination of a major party. If Ralph Nader were a viable option, would you want him as president and why or why not?
