A New York newspaper recently misconstrued what Alan Greenspan said in his book, they stated falsely that Greenspan said we went to Iraq for oil.

This is a yes or no question...but you can give your comments if you like.

Given the premise that lying is allegedly the new currency, what would be the outcome WERE politicians were to tell the truth... the WHOLE TRUTH... and NOTHING BUT the TRUTH?

Feel free to give an example.... or 6...

If it's such a grand idea to have national healthcare -- why do people from other countries that HAVE national healthcare make trips to the U.S. to receive medical attention?

Should the next president have the military leadership of Eisenhower, the diplomatic ability of Ben Franklin, the fiscal management ability of Bill Clinton, the unifying ability of Ronald Reagan, the drive for social change of FDR?
What's you take on the next president. If you could take bits and pieces of past presidents or statesmen and roll them up into one person, what would that president be like?

Regarding the Democratic candidates' health care reform plans.

In a poll I supervised the results showed that 100% of Canadians are happy with their health care system. They also said that any negative comments/stories you hear are U.S. propaganda or urban legends.

I don't think 100% of U.S. citizens are happy with their health care...

Yes it was funny at first,but enough is enough.Just think how you would feel if people laughed and mocked you wherever you were.I have many of these American types working for me and most of them seem o.k.
They are an easy target for us all, but lets cut these chaps some slack.

I wouldn't like to tar all politicians with the same brush, but the job does have a notorious image of drawing in people who are unscrupulous in their pursuit of power and abusive of their position.

If you think the state having the power to monitor individuals behaviour as a matter of routine is a good thing, does it necessarily follow that you trust the politicians who are implementing this system, both now and in the future?

Please tell me if you are against or in favour of globalization and please give the reasons for your answer.
Please convince me it is a good thing.
I am neither in favour or against but I am a little suspicous.
Thank you

(for those who prefer a 'question', "Are you in favour or against globalization ? Give me reasons for your answer please" )

Question: Hiliary Clinton says she will install mandatory health insurance?

Question Details: What do you think about that? I find it scary in a way. The article said that it would be mandatory for everyone to buy health insurance. There would be many kinds to choose from with tax help also. I still wonder how this can be accomplished. Can you imagine being forced to pay for health insurance and then not being able to meet the rent, car expenses, food, etc. Some people live day-to-day, check-to-check without any money for anything else. Unless the tax help would be enough to pay for the premiums?? Oh pardon me for spelling Hillary wrong. That really warranted a ...

Nationalized healthcare is a horrible idea! Look at canada...sure everyone will have healthcare...but people will have to wait to get any care from a doctor.

I would say that I would love for nationalized healthcare to get instated just to show the world how dumb the democrats in power are...but once we have nationalized healthcare, we will never go back to a normal working healthcare system.

Will someone explain to me why Hillary is bent on nationalized healthcare?

to train even more private Gestapo which is completely above any government control and answers to no one other than Bush and Chaney.

1) Is Bush bringing them out of Iraq so they will be ready to attack American citizens after the banks collapse?

or

2) Has Iraq just gotten too dangerous for Bush's private gestapo so he's protecting them while leaving our Army to die?
