Politics - 19 November 2007

"Among Democrats, supporters of Obama and Edwards are more likely to say they are very happy than are Clinton's backers. Her supporters include more lower-income and less-educated voters, who tend to be less happy."

99% according to:
home.cogeco.ca/~kurdistan5/7-2-05-independence-landslide.htm

If we believe in "the will of the people", that leaves Iraq with just Sunnis and Shi'ites. Since there are four Shi'ites for every Sunni, the Sunnis would lose every election and would never see their taxes come home. They would also want complete independence, even though they have nothing but sand without oil..

The Shi'ites hate the Sunnis and will never give them a drop of oil. So they wouldn't mind being independent either.

So why not partition Iraq into three totally independent states, declare victory, and go home?

Ok people. When you are married...doesn't it say that the husband and wife become one? That brings me to my question. If husband and wife become one, doesn't mean Hillary has already been president twice and thus not eligible for a third term? So why is she running for president?

From the very beginning, the American dream meant proving to all mankind that freedom, justice, human rights and democracy were no utopia but were rather the most realistic policy there is and the most likely to improve the fate of each and every person.

America did not tell the millions of men and women who came from every country in the world and who—with their hands, their intelligence and their heart—built the greatest nation in the world: "Come, and everything will be given to you." She said: "Come, and the only limits to what you'll be able to achieve will be your own courage and your own talent." America embodies this extraordinary ability to grant each and every person a second chance.

Here, both the humblest and most illustrious citizens alike know that nothing is owed to them and that everything has to be earned. That's what constitutes the moral value of America. America did not teach men the idea of freedom; she taught them how to practice it. And she fought for this freedom whenever she felt it to be threatened somewhere in the world. It was by watching America grow that men and women understood that freedom was possible.

What made America great was her ability to transform her own dream into hope for all mankind

I don't understand the big problem of having institutions that aim to address global problems. Without this, how are we going to deal with global issues? So someone please provide me an articulate well thought out answer to this question.

This Novak guy is the sleeziest spin artist we've ever seen...

He really managed to get Obama all riled up against Hillary for a minute until Obama wised up and realized he was responding to a Fox tactical maneuver...

It's a damn shame that our Democratic Presidential candidates have to endur trickery and smear campaigns coming from Rupert Murdoch's minions.

Barack Obama can't respond to Fox the way I'm sure he'd like to at this point... but we can...

Will you join me in switching to another channel?

Here's the latest Fox spin on the matter (if you absolutely must hear this garbage from the source...):

You know I grew up and was taught in the united states we were a constitutional republic. In a constitutional republic people elect representatives to represent our voice and our belief in different matters... If this were true why do politicians run on platforms rather then listen to the voice of the people? Are these people not supposed to "represent" us?

i'm in college and all I ever hear is bush is an idiot, bush is stupid, bush is dumber then a chimp.. then i ask them why is he stupid, and they can never give me a logical answer. They say oh he can't pronounce things right or hes a puppet. But they never back up their claims when I question them. Because the truth is bush is intelligent and quite capable. He may have made some mistakes but every president does. Yes I am defending bush. Any responses?

The Constitution allows the president to appoint officials when the Senate is in recess, and those appointees may serve until the current congressional term expires, in this case in 2009., CNN reported.

Does this mean someone will be in session at all times to prevent the president from appointing anyone into office? Who are they afraid to see in office - what position?

Why the rise of NASCAR, Paris Hilton news stories, UFC, and wrestling mania & reality TV......hate crimes are up according to the FBI, swatstika and noose incidents are up as well?
Clearly there is a trend where these forms of our "entertainment" are on the rise here in the USA. What does it say about the "mindset" of today's U.S. citizenry?
