I am disgusted with both parties. Democrats wanna give money away that we don't have. Republicans have totally abandoned what they once stood for and now are just as bad as democrats. Who is there left to vote for?

Like global warming. "Man made Global Warming is just a handfull of liberal alarmists." Handfull? Try most of the scientific community, if not the majority of the world. And calling it null and void because liberals supporet it has got to be the worst argument against it. It's one thing to have one's own oppinion. It's another to call names with the arrogance of "knowing" better than people who dedicate their lives to studying. Forget Al Gore.

Look at the facts:
1) We spew out green house gases by the megatons (1 megaton = 2 billion pounds).
2) The Earth is warming up (the 70s are an exception. For those that don't know this yet, the year is 2007)
3) Modern (again, 70s don't count) Mathematical and computer models show that greenhouse gasses do cause more warming (for example, Venus).
4) According to the Gaia theory, Carbon dioxide from trees should have a negligible effect on change in Earth's temperature assuming that ecosystems are in full equilibrium (no comets or loggers)

I know he's a public figure which means he couldn't, but my question is if President Bush were a private citizen and business owner and Joe Wilson went to the media telling the lies he did about him and his "company", could President Bush sue him?

And before anyone says Joe Wilson didn't lie, please read this article that states that a bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee found that Wilson was lying about his findings in Niger, that Wilson was lying about documents being fake (we didn't even have them until 8 months after his trip, and Wilson never saw them), that Wilson was lying about his wife recommending him for the job (she did), that Wilson was lying about his memo being circulated and that he was lying about the CIA telling the White House it had doubts about the Yellowcake intelligence:

Why do you think that certain people should be given special benifits? We are all just humans. No one is considered inferior or superior. We are all equal. Why are we so competitive? Let us live in a world without competion! Let us live in a world where everyone would be required to work (except those above a certain age) and would be paid equally. Why would you NOT want to live in this world? Nobody would be discriminated against. To everyone else, we are all just another human working for each other.

Some of the good choices are:
1. Since she didnt do anything good in her first 2 terms in the white house, what makes you think she deserves a third term in office?
2. Do we really someone who's only experience in the military was being the wife of a draft dodger as the head of our armed forces?
3. Altho the time has come for a woman president, electing her will hurt women in politics in the future for years to come, that is, if we ever get out of the mess she puts us in.
4. Do we really think that, somehow, she could accomplish as president what she could not accomplish as first lady?

WASHINGTON (AFP) - Chief UN atomic watchdog Mohamed ElBaradei said Sunday he had no evidence that Iran is building nuclear weapons and accused US leaders of adding "fuel to the fire" with recent bellicose rhetoric.

"I have not received any information that there is a concrete active nuclear weapons program going on right now," the director of the International Atomic Energy Agency told CNN.


"Even if Iran were to be working on a nuclear weapon ... they are at least a few years from having such a weapon," he said, citing assessments by US officials themselves.

This group consists of 120 of the worlds richest people. They are secretly planning the fate of the population worldwide. It also comes as a surprise to know that every person in the past that attends these secret meeting that are running for president ends up winning the next election. Guess who attended last years meeting. Hillary Clinton. Be warned and better yet look into what this elite group's agenda really is. 80% world population reduction.

Do you think the CEOs will be upset when the federal government cuts their industry a $100 billion dollar check each year?

Do you think the drug company CEOs were against government intervention when Bush similarly agreed to give them about $100 billion a year for Medicare drug benefits?

What about a new direction without the baggage of the old? No more accusations of "lemmings", "conformity", or "closeminded"? A direction for the hope of a better future? One drawn not by party lines but rather the lack thereof? To establish individualality, not group dynamics? One of discipline, open-mindedness, moral, logic, compassion, and mental freedom? A party of mind and body, not money? To encourage each individual to push him/herself to his/her maximum physical and mental capacity, and help all those who need it? To establish trust, goodwill, and honor as currency?

A transcendental wing?
