Politics - 12 November 2007

I don't get it, the guys fundraising numbers are through the roof, the only signs and stickers I ever see are for Ron Paul but he is still at the back for the bus for poll numbers. My theory is that most of his supporters don't have land lines cause they are a little more tech savvy and younger. Any other theories?

Is it worth being corrupt in order to win your point of view? That still doesn't make you right does it? If you have to lie and use government crooks to get your way does that mean that you are more competent?

It has been a long-standing tradition for the President of the United States to honor our Veterans by laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers on Veteran's day. This President, George W. Bush, who has sent thousands of brave young Americans to their deaths (or horrendous disability) in a war of his own chosing, could not be bothered to honor them this year because he wanted to be in his home state of Texas instead. Just like he did during the Viet Nam war, come to think of it.

How dare he disrespect our courageous troops and our honored veterans by purposely choosing to do what he wanted, to be where he wanted, rather than pay his respects in this time-honored tradition?

As a veteran, I find this to be shameful behavior, not befitting the office of Commander in Chief. I also find it dispicable that just a few days ago he used disabled veterans for a photo-op, playing video games with them just long enough to get his picture taken.

Are you as disgusted as I am?

I placed in a Speech and Debate Student Congress competition based on my speech negated the 'proposed bill' sponsored by another high school. The bill failed in student congress, but in real life, do people want the words "under God" removed from the pledge? Do peope even know why Eisenhower signed the bill putting those words into the pledge in 1954?

Watching BBC world news from the states I have heard references to Gordon Brown being anti america and relating it to George Bush. Does this lead UK citizens to lump Bush with the citizens of the US? Do the nice folks in our motherland understand our 2 party system and that we didn't all vote for Bush and some of us think he is an imbecile?

Re: Abortion - You can't do ANYTHING you want with your body. If you asked your doctor to cut your leg off for no reason, the friendly white-coats would come for you. If the doctor did it, the people wearing blue clothes would come for him or her. So the absolutist philosophy is bogus, and has plenty of precedent stacked against it.

1. Completely unrestricted access in the first and second trimester.
2. Banned in the third trimester at viability, except for medical necessity. (Yes, if you have it I will raise it. Well, I won't raise it, But I will find a respectable infertile couple dying to adopt an infant within an hour of delivery)

Anybody who thinks late-term should be completely unrestricted should have their skull cracked and their brains sucked out. See how you like it.

7 month preemies survive all the time and are people. So the "It's a matter of religious opinion" argument is dead too.

OK?

...yes, "OK?" is my question

America has always been divided along racial lines, but increasingly it is divided among party lines. I grew up with a Black America and a White America, but now it seems that it is shifted to a Blue America and a Red America. Growing up in the 70s, I never thought politics would divide the nation so much. In the 70s there really was not much difference between Democrats and Republicans. But now there appears to be huge differences.

"...Reporters who have covered the hyper-vigilant campaign say that no detail or editorial spin is too minor to draw a rebuke. Even seasoned political journalists describe reporting on Hillary as a torturous experience. Though few dare offer specifics for the record--"They're too smart," one furtively confides. "They'll figure out who I am"--privately, they recount excruciating battles to secure basic facts. Innocent queries are met with deep suspicion. Only surgically precise questioning yields relevant answers. Hillary's aides don't hesitate to use access as a blunt instrument, as when they killed off a negative GQ story on the campaign by threatening to stop cooperating with a separate Bill Clinton story the magazine had in the works. Reporters' jabs and errors are long remembered, and no hour is too odd for an angry phone call. Clinton aides are especially swift to bypass reporters and complain to top editors..."

If "they" will never stop wanting to kill "us" isn't the only way to win (eliminate the possibility of an attack) to kill all of them?

Is my definition of vicotry too rigid? It is the only one that works based on the rhetoric I've heard over the last six years.

Consider this quuote from Ann Coulter as you answer:

There are thousands of Muslim extremists literally dying to slaughter Americans, and only three proven ways to stop them: , (2) capture them and keep them locked up, or (3) convince them that their cause is lost.

(1) Kill them (the recommended method)

There were only 2 Republican counter-examples offered:

1. Hillary's planted questions: I hated her even before this latest incident. By the way, here's another example of the Republicans generalizing..."all Democrats must love Hillary"...I never presume to know what candidate anyone likes

2. Claims that global warming played a role in worsening fires and hurricanes: this is one of those views I mentioned, that I would like to have an honest debate about how true or not these claims are. How is this anywhere near as ridiculous and mean-spirited as constantly saying or implying that Democrats essentially want their own families and our troops to be killed by terrorists

--SO AGAIN, IF YOU'RE SO SURE YOUR VIEWS ARE CORRECT, WHY NOT DEBATE THESE HONESTLY INSTEAD OF DEMONIZING--

I'm still open to counter-examples, go ahead convince everyone reading this that I'm wrong!

Is this continuing 'dislike of Bill' envy- or fantasy driven'? Or both?
During the 2000 and 2004 Presidential campaigns, we never heard any Democrat seriously saying 'Bush 41 (He of the 'read my lips' fame) said or did that, so we should not elect his halfwit son'.
The Democrats were too busy defending themselves against the now completely dysfunctional 'Neo-Con and Fox News Propaganda Machine'. (Thank God!)

Or is this 'obession with all things Bill' just that they (Neo-Cons and some Conservatives, both women and men, for obvious reasons) are just continuing to obsessively fantasise about a BJ with Bill?
Is their dislike of Bill envy- or fantasy driven'? Or both?

Go Hillary!

And some people are becoming very worried.)
