of obtaining information from terrorist prisoners that Al Qaeda, the Taliban, and other terror groups will then treat OUR prisoners in kind? That is, not torture them or behead them.
Do you truly, honestly believe that?

Even if that validated torturing a human being (which it doesn't), how do you know that we are torturing a terrorist if there is no due process, no habeas corpus and no words but whatever they say to avoid more torture?

What if they come for you next?

It is always amazing to me when I listen to the news on NPR in the afternoon. NPR has interviews with various world leaders, influencers, congressional leaders, well known artists or writers, about topics of the day. Sometimes I flip over to Rush and he is going on, by himself, about liberals. I mean, is that all he got?

He is still the enemy of our enemy and will continue to get U.S. support. But if oil is discovered under his feet, all bets are off.

I've been kicked off of two answers for speaking my mind, as well as the truth about Islam. Apperently it offended someone. So what? I thought we lived in a free country.

First of all, income inequality has kept growing since the 1960s. It has accelerated under Bush. A higher Gini coefficient means more inequality.

http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/income/histinc/h04.html

Two, the poverty rate has climbed from 11.3% in 2000 to 12.3% in 2006. Previously, the poverty rate had gone down every year but the first under Clinton.

Three, inflation adjusted median household income is still lower then it was in 2000. It went from $49,163 (down for four years to $47,323 ) to $48,201 in 2006.
http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/income/histinc/h06ar.html

The lowest one fifth saw their inflation adjusted income drop from $20,981 in 2000 to $20,035 in 2006. The top one fifth saw their inflation adjusted income rise from $170,026 to $174,012.

do it as well. and we all know that it has gone on since the beginning of time. During bush's 00 and 04 campaigns. he stacked his q&a sessions entirely. not even allowing people with an opposing view. There is even a memorandum that has been released showing exactly the extent that he went to to keep them out of the arenas or town hall meetings. And even expelled disinters illegally during rallies while president.

I've heard them all. And these are excuses. If you have to explain why you are wrong the majority of the time, it is an EXCUSE, not an explanation.

1) It takes 4, 8, and even 12 years for a president's policies to take effect. That's why Reagan is responsible for the growth seen under Clinton. However, Carter and Clinton had absolutely nothing to do with the growth seen under Reagan and Bush Jr.

2) Reagan was responsible for the growth under Clinton, but he was not responsible for the Bush Sr recession.

3) Just because the economy tends to do better under Democrats, does not imply cause and effect, unless you are talking about Republicans and tax cuts, then it is definitely cause and effect.

4) The Republican congress was responsible for the Clinton growth, but the Democratic congress under Reagan was not responsible for the Reagan growth.

...the other candidate did not share your values?

There are many people who don't like Hillary and I count myself among them, but if the time comes to vote and your choices are Hillary, a Republican you didn't like, and a Third Party candidate that has no chance of winning, who would you vote for? Is there a circumstance in which you would vote for Hillary?

I don't keep up with the news so i dont really know whats going on on the time with politcal stuff. but can you give me a LOGICAL answer.
"Because he's a dumb ignorant southern moron that cant talk" is not a logical answer. If thats the best you can come up with YOUR THE IGNORANT MORON who needs a life.

I know there the whole war thing..blah blah blah. But other presidents have been in that situation and there werent called "the worst president in the history" Why cant everyone get over it. He'll be president till 2008 or w/e it is. Deal with it.

Why is everyone so against him. Really. What did he do.
