How can they support someone that ignores subpoenas and hides behind executive priviledge whenever he is questioned?

I see posts on here all the time that democrats are a bunch of lazy, unemployed loosers, sitting around without jobs, living off the government etc...... In my job I deal with these types of peope every day. .....My impression of them is that they dont have any political affiliation at all, they are neither republicans or democrats, they dont care about politics, the majority dont vote.....why would you think that if someone is so lazy that wont pick up the trash off their own floor that they would actually make the effort to go vote for anyone or anything?

If the Debates (both red and blue) are not on broadcast media. Only people that have cable access can view the debates.

Is this just another attack on the rural working poor by the Ownership Society.

Initially when the Dems came into majority, they said they would pull the troops out. But now, the troop surege is creating progress. Why would they choose to 'stay the course" on a pull out date, instead of providing the necesary funding for the troops?

Please don't bring up health care.....

Joe Biden did not dance around questions given him in last night's debate. He's very direct -- has always had a plan for a better future for our country and a plan for our withdrawal from Iraq.

socialist liberals are always advocating that we need to be more like "insert said nation here". Why don't you just go somewhere else, there are plenty of places that would love to have you, after all chavez or Canada, or France would love to take you. There you can be free to have all the hippy beliefs that you want, so why do you not just leave???

is it that you just can't stand freedom anywhere and you "must" destry the foundation of the US?

A) Not having your hand over your heart during the pledge of allegiance or

B) Creating false intelligence to invade a country that had nothing to do with 9/11, bankrupting the country in the process, eroding your countries civil liberties in the name of national security, trashing the constitution, a document you pledged to protect and defend, and appointing your friends to high political offices despite their lack of qualification for the position(Andrew Brown/FEMA/Katrina).

I understand that people will say that they are doing this to get hispanic votes, but I think they will lose more votes than they will gain if they do not take a stance against illegal immigration. I feel like this is the one issue that could bite the Dems in the azz during the next election.

I've noticed that Hillary's campaign has started to show some considerable weaknesses, and I'm wondering if we're witnessing a classic bait and switch by the DNC. Now, they know that Hillary would get crushed if she ran. Against anybody. She is quite simply too polarizing and has too many skeletons in her closet. NOTHING fires up the republican base like the thought of that harpy in the white house again! But suppose she lost the primary? Suppose a slightly more moderate candidate won? Do you think the freight train of republican loathing would keep up the steam? I sure don't. Obama might have horrified republicans if he ran alone, but put him next to Clinton and he's suddenly downright DESIRABLE! Run Clinton early, get the republicans all riled up, then pull the carpet out. Suddenly they're just not near as fired up, and the dem candidate can coast to an easy victory. Does anybody else think this might be the reason Hillary is suddenly stepping on her d!ck every day?

when they refer to the democratic party as "democrat party"? Then in the same breath speak about the republican party. It is bad grammar/sounds hillbilly.

with the excuse that he wants to be fiscally conservative? I mean, c'mon. When has that bothered him before? Even some of you staunch Bush supporters gotta admit that's pretty thin.

violence is down 90% in southern iraq now that the british have left completely.

http://www.hdnews.net/Story/p0230_BC_Iraq_1stLd_Writethru_11_16_0955

most of the violence was directed at the foreign troops, and now that they are gone, more of the violence has stopped.

isn't it now obvious that the US should leave? Why are we still there? what's the advantage?

from every which direction i am being blind-sided by people like Micheal Moore. i just watched sicko im i am dam near ready to move to France! but is that just another man lying to me or over exaggerating to get me to buy his movies? and a little side question: why does it seem that america is all about money. if you dont have money it is hard to live hear, yet the very wealthy people arent doing anything to help. i personally dont find myself in either catagory. i am middle class. and that is where i think everyone should be.

I just watched Michael Moore's latest film Sicko. I know he's an extremist, but there is definitely some truth to many of his arguments. It saddens me that so many other countries function fine with socialized health care, but in America, Health Insurance companies care more about earning Capital than helping the sick.

Is there a way to change this? Why doesn't America implement something of this nature to help its citizens? It hurts to know that our government is really that heartless..

ROFLMAO...I just heard where the ACLU is preparing to sue the Governor of Georgia for his public display of a prayer for rain.

Seems Georgia has been in one heck of a drought, and things became soooooooo desperate the Governor was willing to try anything to get it rain...Funny how they seem to rely on God last. Anyway, he holds a public pryer vigil for rain, and guess what...it's been freaking rainin since the day after the public prayer session.

This has peeved the ACLU, because on the surface it appears God really does answer prayers...LOL! So now the ACLU will sue to ban elected officials from publicly praying...unless of course it's to Allah, Buda, or some Golden Calf crap...

Wow, the ACLU never ceases to amaze me. I wonder if any of them realized IT'S FREAKING RAINING in drought starved GEORGIA!!!! As it says in that old black book: The "wise" shall become FOOLS!"

Any thoughts????
