Politics - 15 November 2007

The Constitution makes the President the Commander in Chief of the US military. The Constitution also requires that the US government, of which the President is Executive, shall preserve a republican form of governement for the US and the individual states as well as to defend the US.

Further the President takes an oath to protect and defend the Constitution which requires the points above.

Doesn't is stand to reason that someone who is a "pacifist" or is "anti-war," who would be unwilling, morally or philosophically, to use the military isn't suited to the office and should be considered "unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office" per the meaning of the 25th Amendment and should be disqualified even to run?

saddam's regime?

150,000 innocent civilian deaths as a result of saddam's genocide

655,000 innocent civilian deaths as a result of iraq war
(here's link if you don't believe me)
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/10/10/AR2006101001442.html

hard to defend the iraq war by saying that the people are now better off. more people have died as a result of the invasion than of one of saddam's genocide.

Interruptions, lost of focus, no certain time limits on responses, and so forth. Am I wrong?

Do they have a direct line to Al-Qaeda?

Who among the terrorists and insurgents is taking orders from them?

Aren't they really saying that it is their intent to abandon the Iraqis to their fate, as obviously they have no power over the actual 'war' that is being fought on Iraqi ground?

I was driving by a High school the other day, and it said "Bell multicultural High School". My Neocon Dad commented "They're just trying to be honest about leftist indoctrination". I wasn't sure what he was talking about, so I didn't say anything.

We are corrupt, in debt, uneducated, scientificaly behind, and are hardly keeping up with other world powers (China). What is our future looking like, I just heard that China was the new largest world power and America has fallen greatly behind in economy as well.

Our military is strong but thats about it, could a good president posibly turn this around.

I think Romney since he is a business man, more conservative, and is not pro amnesty. I'm gonna vote for him in the primary. He is tough on terrorist. I do not like his religion though. Who do you think would do better?

Why is it when liberal censor someone, it is considered for the good of the community, but when conservatives censor someone, it is seen as an evil conspiracy?

For decades women have fought for equal rights such as being able to vote, run for office, join the army, get federal benefits for education and work and they have just about everyone one of these rights. More laws have been created such as equal opportunity and equal rights to ensure these rights. However it seems that some people tend to forget that equality should be applied in all cases. For one I think women should have to take the responsiblity that all men do and sign up for selective service. Two in america it seems that a woman can come into the relationship with no education, no money, and yet marry a guy and leave with half including the house. Three laws need to be tough are on both ends. We are willing to take away the future for a man if he commits a crime such as sleep with someone under the age of the law but if a woman does the same we are quick to make excuses that she was molested or beaten in the past by a family or family member.

I responded to an questioned that indirectly compared Al Queda to "fundamentalist ultra-conservatives, like Republicans," and was removed, simply because I critiqued liberals and they're hatred for Bush while they continue to do nothing in the Congress and the Senate. Is Yahoo! Answers biased against anyone speaking against liberal loons?

Yet they say they support him because of his leadership?
Almost no one knows what he did when the terrible incident occurred, but the same people who know nothing claim that he managed the situation well (then, of course, they can't elaborate).

I think all Americans who plan on voting for Giuliani should know that NYC firefighters HATE Giuliani for sending them up 90 flights of stairs in a burning building with heavy equipment and causing the death of 343 of their men and women.

do you advocate taking advantage of anyone, if they don't know enough about a subject to make an informed decision?

for instance, the home loan issue going on now.... these people didn't have a clue about what they were signing... should they? probably... did the lenders know they wouldn't be able to pay it if the rates increased? most did...

isn't saying "buyer beware" advocating taking advantage of anyone that doesn't know better? I mean if you're "not against it, you're for it"... according to Bush... right?

Have the neo-fascists consolidated that much power already?

If so we should all be very afraid.
