I noticed that "socialist" and "socialism" is used most extensively and more loosely in USA political debate than it is in Europe.
This fact causes some misunderstanding when, for example, a non-American speaks to an American.

What is in your opinion a socialist policy? What countries are socialist ?

Aren't they both the same? And why are states moving their primaries ahead? It won't move election day ahead.

Some poster earlier indicated by their posting that these two men are related. Anyone have the real facts?

By the way, I heard that someone did the genealogy behind the Queen of England and found that she is part-Chinese from a liaison almost four thousand years ago.

From what I can see these two postings, mentioned above, are probably true. Anyone has the facts behind this?

Rudy recently said, "Honestly, in most respects, I don't know Hillary's experience. She's never run a city, she's never run a state. She's never run a business. She has never met a payroll. She has never been responsible for the safety and security of millions of people, much less even hundreds of people."

Why is it that so many people don't want Mitt Romney for President because he is Mormon....but hundreds like Obama and he is a Muslim??? I'm a Christian and even though Mitt is not...I'm sure a Muslim is even farther away from my religion than is Mitt. What do you think??? No bashing...or you will be reported.

How do you cope? I am republican, but I mostly just do a quick study of the candidates before an election. Otherwise, I don't worry about politics. My hubby is a liberal extremist and prays to see the day all republican politicians are dead or in jail. He watches liberal extremists on tv. He listens to them on the radio. He buys their books. He hounds me about my political beliefs. I'm on edge all the time and don't know what to do anymore. He is otherwise a great guy and I love him immensely, but he's about to drive me crazy and I can't get it through his thick head that he needs to stop. Anybody have any suggestions?

What is the first thing he would do when he got in office?

Pump some iron?
Challenge his Secret Service attachment to an arm wrestling contest?
Raise taxes?
Cut military spending?

What would be his first task?

We say we're a free country. A democracy. A land where any person can be anything if they work hard enough and have the talent.

In America, things you can't change about yourself should never be a technicality that prevents you from doing something. If you're not smart enough to be President, or if you were once convicted of a certain crime, or if you're not a citizen then of course you can't run. But should any citizen in good standing be able to run for ANY office including the Presidency?

You could get a great, talented person who came here when they were a week old and they would be prohibited from running. That's just silly.

My suggestion for the law is this: You don't have to be born in the USA to run. You have to be a citizen and at least 25 years old. And you have to have lived in the USA for a minimum of 15 years continuously.

Hey folks, if you don't like someone, then just don't vote for them.

What do you think?

She hates George W. Bush, who has the will and courage to stand up to terroritsts and thwart their desire to murder innocent people. She has tried to sabotage his efforts every chance she gets, just to make herself "look good." Yet she puts Sandy Berger on her campaign advisory staff, who had his security clearance revoked for stealing documents that might expose the government's intelligence failures regarding terrorism during the Clinton administration. Is she really concerned about protecting America from terrorism?

Instead of trying to find an educational and intelligent answer to what is being said - why do they choose to respond by calling names?

Someone told me a story about him working at a company and one day all the hispanics were wearing shirts saying "Brown Pride" so the guy asked his boss if it would be cool if he wore a shirt saying white pride and his boss replied "only if you want people to think your racist"
So whats the deal everyone else can be proud of our herotage but when we(white people) say were proud of our heritage were automatically rasicts? We did some pretty awful stuff in the past yeah but so what we don't do it anymore well most of us anyway and I'm pretty sure those minorities did do some pretty nasty shi.t to in the past but no one just talks about it cuz "its racist" and all haha. go figure.
