Two conservative bloggers have finally filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission, challenging that Hillary Clinton accepted illegal contributions to her presidential campaign.

Hold on! Hillary doing something illegal? Why that's nothing but right wing HATE speech! Everybody knows that Hillary would never do anything illegal! Right?

There was a plan at the University of Wisconsin LaCrosse that would have taxed currently enrolled white students $1300 each to then redistribute it to minorities students to get more minorities at that school.

It did not pass - for now. What do you think of that?

What if the white students were poor you ask - it didn't matter. ALL currently enrolled white students, it was assumed, could afford to be there...so they were taxed!

Gov. Doyle (D - WI) is in the process of SNEAKING that through now by calling it a tuition hike. We'll CALL it something different now...

Is you learn in second grade

and Voting in third

Is a 3rd grade education considered intellectual in the liberal world? If so I can understand why they want me to pay for everything since they are little more educated than a baby.

Please help me with this question I have wondered a long time about this logical fallacy and your assistance is requested.

There are many small airports across the country. These airports have perhaps ten or twenty airplanes at any one time. The control towers are usually staffed. Why should tax payers maintain the sport of so few?

DID YOU KNOW? As you walk up the steps to the building which houses the U.S Supreme Court you can see near the top of the building a row of the world's law givers and each one is facing one in the middle who is facing forward with a full frontal view .. it is Moses and he is holding the Ten Commandments!
DID YOU KNOW?
As you enter the Supreme Court courtroom, the two huge oak doors have the Ten Commandments engraved on each lower portion of each door.
DID YOU KNOW?
As you sit inside the courtroom, you can see the wall,
right above where the Supreme Court judges sit,
a display of the Ten Commandments!
DID YOU KNOW?
There are Bible verses etched in stone all over the Federal Buildings and Monuments in Washington , D.C.
DID YOU KNOW?
James Madison, the fourth president, known as 'The Father of Our Constitution' made the following statement:
'We have staked the whole of all our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind for self-government, upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God.'
DID YOU KNOW?
Patrick Henry, that patriot and Founding Father of our country said:
'It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded not by religionists but by Christians, not on religions but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ'.
DID YOU KNOW?
Every session of Congress begins with a prayer by a paid preacher, whose salary has been paid by the taxpayer since 1777.
DID YOU KNOW?
Fifty-two of the 55 founders of the Constitution were members of the established orthodox churches in the colonies.
DID YOU KNOW?
Thomas Jefferson worried that the Courts would overstep their authority and instead of interpreting the law would begin making law . an oligarchy: the rule of few over many.
DID YOU KNOW?
The very first Supreme Court Justice, John Jay, said:
'Americans should select and prefer Christians as their rulers.'

How, then, have we gotten to the point that everything we have done for 220 years in this country is now suddenly wrong and unconstitutional?
It is said that 86% of Americans believe in God. Therefore, it is very hard to understand why there is such a mess about having the Ten Commandments on display or 'In God We Trust' on our money and having God in the Pledge of Allegiance. Why don't we just tell the other 14% to Sit Down and SHUT UP!!!

I'm not in anyone's camp yet, but I'm trying to decide how to spend both my money and my time in the coming election. My ideals seem out of the mainstream, and my candidate-of-choice is likely to be someone other than a front-runner.

What do you do when the candidate you chose seems to be "unelectable." Do you support him or her and fight the good fight? Do you withdraw from the field and send your contributions to the party and hope for the best? Do you throw your support to the front runner in the "anyone but the other guy" politics?

I don't want "bash the con or lib candidate" answers. The question is about how you personally handle the quandary. If you feel no quandary, then answer a different question, please.

Retired Army general says conflicts in Middle East could keep U.S. there for 50 years

PITTSBURGH (AP) -- It might take as long as half a century before U.S. troops can leave the volatile Middle East, according to retired Army Gen. John Abizaid.
"Over time, we will have to shift the burden of the military fight from our forces directly to regional forces, and we will have to play an indirect role, but we shouldn't assume for even a minute that in the next 25 to 50 years the American military might be able to come home, relax and take it easy, because the strategic situation in the region doesn't seem to show that as being possible," Abizaid said Wednesday at Carnegie Mellon University.
Abizaid, the former commander of U.S. forces in the Middle East, stepped down in March as the longest-serving commander of U.S. Central Command. He retired from the Army in May and now is at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University.

I think that this guy knows what he’s talking about and it’s been my own contention that we’d be there until the cows came home, regardless of which party wins the next election. Your thoughts?

I have a BA in Marketing from Michigan State University and right now I like 4 people - Thompson, Hunter, Biden, and Dodd.

Out of those 4 I like different things that each of them have to offer but the commonality is I trust their judgement.

Your level of education and who you like in the current field

Yesterday I asked the Bush bashers to prove to me that Bush had direct control of the price of oil. Not one answer to prove what you libs are bashing. Here is the question:

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=20071031064514AAkCvhP

Since you cannot provide me or prove to others on this web site that Bush has had a direct impact on the price of oil. Is it possible for you to quit your mindless dribble on this topic and begin a real political discussion. Or is that too difficult for you?

In an interview with Tom Brokaw, Warren Buffet (3rd richest man in the world) spoke about the results of a poll within his own office. He, Buffet, pays 17.7% on his payroll and income taxes. The average of his employees for payroll and income tax is 32.9%. So, working class employees pay almost twice as much (proportionally) than the third richest man in the world! What does that say about our tax system?
