Because I am confused! You're all riled about about Government health care but
What happened to Terry Shivro and how you same people went on a witch hunt in favor of the Pro-life let The Federal Government get in the middle of State government and then congress exploited the family and the governor Jeb stuck foot in mouth?

Pro life = Health care for all!

So, whats the deal? Make the case…

This is a moral issue, so if you are pro-life thats fine, but how can one be so if health care is out of touch to obtain life?

You far extreme nuts have nothing else to do but slam people/children/disabled who want to live in a healthy world. But, in order to be healthy (like Terry Shivero) and have all those machines and people attending to her daily needs, you need health insurance… So are you PRO LIFE or ARE YOU NOT I just don't freaking get it

By the way I see you found someone your own size to pick on in the Wilekerson child

World oil production has already peaked and will fall by half as soon as 2030, according to a report which also warns that extreme shortages of fossil fuels will lead to wars and social breakdown.
"The world soon will not be able to produce all the oil it needs as demand is rising while supply is falling. This is a huge problem for the world economy," said Hans-Josef Fell, EWG's founder and the German MP behind the country's successful support system for renewable energy.

The troops are damn tired of Iraq. They have been tired of it for a long time now.

I'd be too if I have to spend most of my time in a hot, dusty, place where every day could be my last.

==============================
U.S. Troops in Iraq: 72% Say End War in 2006

Le Moyne College/Zogby Poll shows just one in five troops want to heed Bush call to stay “as long as they are needed”
While 58% say mission is clear, 42% say U.S. role is hazy
Plurality believes Iraqi insurgents are mostly homegrown
Almost 90% think war is retaliation for Saddam’s role in 9/11, most don’t blame Iraqi public for insurgent attacks
Majority of troops oppose use of harsh prisoner interrogation
Plurality of troops pleased with their armor and equipment

Paul leads in donations from military voters, with Obama next

WASHINGTON — Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul, the congressman from the Houston area who opposes the Iraq war, has gotten more contributions than any other White House contender from donors identified as affiliated with the military.

According to a Houston Chronicle analysis of campaign records from January through September, Paul received $63,440 in donations from current military employees and several retired military personnel.

Democrat Barack Obama, another war critic, was second in military giving. The Illinois senator got $53,968 during the nine months.

He was followed by Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz, a decorated Navy pilot and former Vietnam prisoner of war, who received $48,208 in military-related giving. McCain has been one of the most vigorous defenders of President Bush's decision this year to increase U.S. troops in Iraq.

They're trying to downplay climate change again by not allowing you to see the CDC reports on the spread and increased risk of disease. They edited the pages down from 14 to 4. The CDC wants you to know that flooding, warming and standing water brings the risk of disease. Why doesn't Bush want you to know?

I see these ricans driving around with the pr flag and stickers. If pr is so great maybe you should live there and speak spanish there. I think there may actually be more puerto ricans here in Florida than in puerto rico. Hey if you move back to pr you can live with no fed tax and you can collect all the government money you want.

What can the Senate do about White House manipulation of scientific papers written for informational purposes to ourleaders? Can it demand the original papers from the scientists themselves and not be stuck with the political rewrites?

Americans objectify their women. Women are led to believe their worth is based on looks, playboy covers and not on character or intelligence. Is it a false sense of freedom when they say women can choose...yet....American females starve themselves(by CHOICE?) to death and engage in self destructive behavior, promiscuity etc.

Americans wont even let a woman be President. Female women have tried to run, but why no female President yet?Are you telling me that over 200 years of freedom and not 1 female was good enough to be president in this free country????
Even Muslim countries have had a female Prime Minister.
Even third world countries have had female Presidents.

And you can say Muslims treat their women badly blblblblblalbalbala. But does that negate the hypocritical attitude Americans have on women?

Is liberal California getting hit by big fires because:

1. Liberals refused to allow controlled burns to get rid of undergrowth?

2. Rich liberals living where mother nature intended fires to occur naturally once or twice a century?

3. Some "force" paying liberals back for their lifestyle?

4 Other?

Actions like Iraq, threatening Iran, Illegal wire tapping, Patriot act, signing statements, appointing radical judges, election fraud to insure their continued control, tax reduction in the face of deficit spending, running up huge additions to the national debt, trying to spread democracy to other countries, radical disregard for health care issues, water and air pollution, climate change/global warming, approaching energy issues that will greatly change our way of life and need planning for........

This is neither an indictment or agreement to the intervention in Iraq its just the news seems to categorize things this way.

Republicans keep telling me how it's "horrible" that so many voted against it...

But I don't hear a lot of "why"?

Is Republican patriotism tied so heavily to the language that they wouldn't love America if they spoke another language?
