I ask this because so many people use to say Al Gore was a boring & somewhat non-life like when he was behind a podium & I find Thompson just as dull & boring. Didn't he have to ask for applause after one of his speeches?

This week the UK removed The Holocaust from its school curriculum because it "offended" the Muslim population which claims it never occurred. This is a frightening portent of the fear that is gripping the world and how easily each country is giving into it. It is now more than 60 years since the Second World War in Europe ended. This E-mail is being sent as a memorial chain, in memory of the six million Jews, 20 million Russians, 10 million Christians and 1,900 Catholic Priests who were murdered, massacred, raped, burned, starved and humiliated with the German and Russian peoples looking the other way! Now more than ever, with Iran among others claiming the Holocaust to be "a myth,"
How do you feel about this.

Bush has said hes a devout christian and this obviosly links to his inability to level with muslims. His choices to aid Isreal in their removal of pakistanis off the Gaza strip seems like one of the most unchristian things someone can do. Too many candidates use religion to get voters and now Bush is in office because a majority of America's "christians"voted for him.

For instance, even people people using stalls or newspapers to sell their own goods? What about self employed shopkeepers who did not expand beyond their own premeses? Did they even condemn the trading of one off items between freinds and assosciates?

We've all witnessed the countless attempts by Democrats to stop the war in Iraq . Some , like Hillary and Obama have even PROMISED to stop the war if elected . OK , but they have only promised to stop half the war . Our half .

What Will That Accomplish ?

And what about the other half ? The Radical Islamist Terrorist Half ?
Shouldn't They Focus Much More Time On The Terrorists Half Of The War ?

A previous question;

Stated white men are leaving the Democratic Party by the paltry margin of 1% from 2000 to 2004.

This is true if you only look at the numbers up until 2004.

The facts are in the 2006 election which tossed the GOP out of control of Congress - white men voted for the GOP by only 9% - a 17% INCREASE in votes for democrats.

http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2006/pages/results/states/US/H/00/epolls.0.html

With tactics like these - is it any wonder the GOP is being abandoned?

I have had answers to previous SCHIP Questions claiming you could make 60,000, 61,000, 65,000, 80,000, and 81,000 Dollars. Well which is it? The first clue that someone is lying about a number is they can't keep their facts straight. Is this the case.
Please try to answer the question I have asked and not spout the lies as to why the SCHIP Bill was a bad bill. Thanks

"In 2000, exit polling showed white women backed George W. Bush over Al Gore by 3 percentage points, but white men backed him by 27 percentage points. Four years later, with John F. Kerry carrying the Democratic banner, the margin was 26 points."

When Iran is so far away from getting nukes the person in the next Presidential term won't need to worry about it either.

She and her husband haven't really done anything for either group, especially blacks.

Both groups need to take a closer look at the actions of the Clintons rather than the sound bites. Don't they see that, when they come to a black event, they start taking in a different dialect?

It's insulting and quite transparent.....why are minorities supporting these flim-flams?

On Wednesday, President Bush was asked why he vetoed the CHIP legislation that would provide health care to almost ten million children. His response: "to ensure that I am relevant".
It is amazing that he thinks his relevancy is more important than health care for ten million children.
The Congress already has 69 votes in the Senate, more than enough to pass the bill without the President, and the House of Representatives came within 13 votes of overriding his veto Thursday.
Now the President is saying "Why don't we sit down and compromise on CHIP?" How in the world does he think Congress got to where it did? How did it get 69 senators to support this legislation? Compromise.
The bill started with a cost of $70 billion, then went to $50 billion and finally compromised at $35 billion. For the President to come now and say, "Let's compromise," is completely disingenuous. Saving children should be more important to the President than saving face.
Here is the irony of the President's veto: This program was created by Orrin Hatch, a conservative Republican, and Ted Kennedy 10 years ago. Why? Because Orrin Hatch had two families come to him -- both families were working. They didn't qualify for Medicaid. They couldn't buy insurance. They didn't have the money. So in the finest example of bipartisan cooperation, conservative Orrin Hatch and liberal Ted Kennedy sat down and created one of our nation's most successful health care programs.
Now George Bush vetoed this bill simply to remain relevant. Ten million children are not irrelevant.

Does it mean no guns or does it mean stringent back-ground checks on gun buyers?

Clinton walked in on an economy that was on a major upswing, and when he left it was on it's way down. Under Bush the American economy has added more than 6.3 million jobs since the fall of 2002, and Employment is near an all-time high. The unemployment rate (4.6 percent) is well below the average for each of the PAST FOUR DECADES. Home ownership is at a record high. Real disposable personal income has risen almost 14 percent since President Bush took office; and core inflation rose just 2.3 percent over the past 24 months. The Dow Jones industrial average has risen from under 7300 in 2002 to around 14,000 for most of this year. Tax revenues are at an all-time high, and so is total household net worth. We really need to look for news in other places than our liberal mainstream media. They will NEVER give you the truth about ANY Republican.
