Politics - 19 September 2007

I have done this TWICE before but again, for a personal project, I'm taking a poll to see what comments and thoughts people have on this topic.

Please answer your question based on your political beliefs and state why. I am trying to gain a bigger perspective with more answers.

He seems very upset and bitter at the american people, congress, the iraqis, the maliki government, etc...and you almost expect him to go off the deep end...like he has lost touch with reality. His face looks like a man who is about to have a nervous break down, or go dictator.....

I am a democrat who leans heavily to the left.

Does anyone really care if the government illegally wire taps phone conversations? I for one could care less! If the government wants to listen to me talking about football or what a buffoon I think Bush is etc, than so be it, I have nothing to hide…If the government stops one terror attack or locks up a drug dealer etc, because of this illegal wire tapping isn't it worth it.

Please do not assume that this would lead to other government controls. This does not mean that the government will , come and read my mail, or take my house etc…"Assumption is the mother of all phuck ups"

Lets think about this.

He reduced intelligence spending!

He never responded appropriately to Saddam and his on going weapons program!

He appointed the head of the CIA at the time of the 2003 invasion! George Tenant who provided the case for war!

Why didn't we see this before? Was this his plan all along?

How can you live in such a stifling political atmosphere?
You cannot protest against the wrong politics. Most of Americans are against the war but they cannot stop it. What is your role in that country?
Is not it better to replace the Statue of Liberty by the statue of Andrew Mayer?
I recommend you come to our country and have meeting about every thing you want without fear, if your media do not propagandize you!

Will all the conservatives then "Stand behind" their president no matter what disastrous policy decision that person makes?
Since it has been explained to the American people over and over that not supporting the president is un American.

Right now, the temporary statute states that eavesdropping can take place if one party is "reasonably believed" (read: not proven beyond doubt) to be outside the U.S. and the other party is American, as long as that American is not the focus of the spying.

But if the conversation involves two people, how is one of them NOT a focus of that surveillance?

And has it occurred to anyone that all the government would have to do to spy on domestic conversations is say, "Oops. We thought this guy was in Canada. Our bad."?

Why can't the government find another way to protect us?

I'm no Obama fan, and I CAN'T STAND Jesse 'Hymie Town' Jackson, but anyone can see that Obama is running based on his political views and ideas and NOT the color of his skin.

If anything, Jesse should learn from Obama and realize that preferring one race over another is exactly what the white people were scrutinized for. So why is it OK for Jesse and Al to do it?

Slavery ended almost 200 years ago and it is time for us to get along and except all ethnicities for what they are.

Jesse Jackson claims he is continuing what MLK Jr. finished, but Obama is the one who is really LIVING King's dream.

I am pretty certain this is the global warming culprit. Yes people do not help. but this cycle would exist with or without humans. it accounts for ice ages extinction etc.

we are currently at the end of the recent ice age. so things wil heat up. with this heat and polar ice melt, we can expect more water into the atmosphere. making more rain and more snow- contrary to what people assume about global warming. where else do you hink all that melted ice is going to go? so we wil have colder, wetter winters. But hotter longer summers as the earth nears the sun during it's summer phase of the eliptical.

thumbs down? for this?

whatever.

any way for some reason tis is not discussed much. I actually thing global warming as concept by humans- is a distraction. this is some agenda to ofer hope that we can fix globa warming when we can not it's out of our hands.

I'm sorry libbies , but you guys couch your answers and always stop short of saying 'What happens if the ones you're negotiating with won't agree to anything logical' ? -- What then ?
Nothing .
We never see you put forth what you would do in that situation .

And ya know .. .. . this is part of the cause of why so many people refer to you as weak , looney , appeasers , cowards , collaborators , lily-livered , anit-American , etc. etc .

Many see your candidates in the same light too .

So , exactly what would you expect our president, whoever that may be , to do when there is just no way to negotiate any further ?

Bush: Strengthen eavesdropping law By DEB RIECHMANN, Associated Press Writer
16 minutes ago



FORT MEADE, Md. - President Bush said Wednesday that a law hastily passed in August to temporarily give the government more power to eavesdrop without warrants on foreign terror suspects must be made permanent and expanded.

for all you Bush fans: Do you feel safe yet, knowing that W is listening in? For Bush, if you're listening - go do an anatomical and biological impossibility to yourself......

In admit it.

I was once a minority despising reactionary who used religion as weapon.

Until I got a life and stopped hating liberals out of jealousy.

Now I have some of the "peace" for myself!


Liberalism may lead to maturity, but maturity leads to death.
Stay young at heart...not constipated with hate.

So now we have Iran which refuses to curtail it's uranium enrichment activities because it claims to need to pursue nuclear energy for it's people. Israel is nervous and threatening to attack Iran. Iran, in turn is threatening to attack Israel. Russia and China are blocking U.N. sanctions against Iran. The U.S. is pursuing a coalition of countries that would impose economic sanctions against Iran without U.N. approval. What a mess. Two word solution: Solar energy. Iran is a dessert. What better place to research, develop and implement solar energy technologies? Such a project would take away any pretense of Iran's need for nuclear power. Of course there would be major global economic adjustments to make in a transition from oil and nuclear power to solar, but wouldn't those be less dangerous than setting the stage for a nuclear World War lll?
