Sen. Obama lacks experience for dealing with our world policies and if we were to have him as president would be to push our great American country into Socialism . That the Senator would be a political puppet for party and special interest groups and not look out for our country as a whole, put your greed aside we have taqken and taken as
Pres. John Kennedy said ask not what they can do for you but what can you do , read , investigate use your knowladge don't let some one dictate to you think for your self

It's pretty straight forward. A president lead us into a war that he had to have known was not necessary and a vice president who helped him mislead the people of the united states.

As a moderate I tend to be against abortion. Alot of mothers were uneducated, less than 16 years old, and the father ran off and they decided to not be selfish and take care of their responsiblity. Also how can people say scott peterson and other type of murderers who kill woman are double murderers but not consider abortion doctors or woman who get an abortion for murder.

Those who doubted whether Iraq or the world would be better off without Saddam Hussein, and those who believe today that we are not safer with his capture, don't have the judgment to be President, or the credibility to be elected President.

Why now? Unless I'm mistaken, Hanoi John Kerry isn't even running for President again

BOSTON - Sen. John Kerry, whose 2004 presidential campaign was torpedoed by critics of his Vietnam War record, said Friday he has personally accepted a Texas oilman's offer to pay $1 million to anyone who can disprove even a single charge of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth

Why are the costs of the Iraq war not considered part of our larger budget debate? On Tuesday, Bush vetoed Congress’ $606 billion labor, health and education bill because of a $10 billion difference on spending for domestic concerns. This on the same day President Bush signed a $471 Billion Military budget, which includes such "pork" waste as Joint Strike Fighters, Missile Defense and Space-Based Weapons systems. But he is asking for a supplemental appropriation of $196 billion for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan—an increase of $46 billion over what he had sought in October.

So it comes down to this: Bush can bust the budget for Iraq, but God forbid that we spend a little more on education.

Only the Bush administration continues to natter about a bogus "War on Terror." Others are more candid:

Republican Sen. Senator Charles Hagel: "People say we're not fighting for oil. Of course we are. They talk about America's national interest. What the hell do you think they're talking about? We're not there for figs." (Speaking at Catholic University, Sept. 24, 2007)

Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, in his book The Age of Turbulence: Adventures in a New World: "I'm saddened that it is politically inconvenient to acknowledge what everyone knows: The Iraq war is largely about oil."

Democratic Sen. Jon Tester: "We're still fighting a war in Iraq and people who are honest about it will admit we're there over oil." (Associated Press, Sept. 24, 2007)

Gen. John Abizaid, retired CENTCOM commander: "Of course it's about oil, we can't really deny that." (Speaking at Stanford University, Oct. 13, 2007)

The Debt to the Penny and Who Holds It
http://www.treasurydirect.gov/NP/BPDLogin?application=np

How much has the debt increased since we've had a majority of Democrats in Congress? I thought they were going to make our life better when they took office if we gave them a chance. What happened?

The President can't introduce and vote on bills. He can only endorse or veto them.

The war was already in progress, so look at all of the added expenditures this Democratic Congress has voted on since they've been in office.

I guess it's easy for them to spend someone else's money. Maybe they need a reduction in salary to the level they have put the majority of US citizens at.

Think it's time for a change?

A $100 or $200 bounty to be paid to local law enforcement agencies for the capture of illegal aliens. There is no incentive right now for local law enforcement to capture or hold on to illegals. This would encurage there capture and return to there home land. So what do you think ?

Many people believe that the U.S. might take action against Iran because they believe that Iran is building nuclear weapons.

Right now there is a carrier strike force positioned so that it could strike Iran if the White House gives the order. The US military obviously has contingency plans for this operation.

If it happens - if the US attacks Iran - how will Russia and China respond? Would they retaliate against the US?
