Politics - 19 November 2007

If so (or if not), do you think it's a smart idea to already have made up your mind when there's so much more to come out as we get closer to Nov. '08?

Isn't the whole American system set up to protect the rich? I mean tax dollars go to pay police officers who take criminals off the street who try to steal things from rich people. And if you're lucky enough to be able to afford your own house, there is a register of deeds available to make sure your deed is of record so no one can come claim your house. And the areas of the country that have higher taxes ususally have better schools, and with better schools comes better education, and better education leads to college and better job opportunities. So the rich children benefit there. And of course if you're lucky enough to afford a car, there are roads and bridges built in order to drive your car on. And parts of tax budgets go to economic development. I could go on and on how taxes help the wealthy, but everyone seems toforget about that. Now granted there are social services out there that assist the poor, but it really seems that the rich have a far better end of the deal.

This really is not a partisan question. The Bush White House has used executive orders to "shore up" more power to the White House than ever before. This power will remain with the Presidency unless a President gives up these powers intentionally, which seems doudtful regardless of what party occupies the office. Is this healthy given the all imortant "checks and balances" created with wisdom by the founding generation of Americans that wrote the Constitution?

you guys understand that it's not going to effect the troops right?

the RIGHTIES are saying that the lefties are keeping money from the troops.

First off... any lack of funding will come from the hands of Bush's VETO stamp...
Secondly... any lack of funding is just going to squash the no-bid contracts awarded to bush friends, and it will cut down on the no-bid security forces.

-we're talking hundreds of billions of dollars which have already been approved, but not yet used...

the money we've already approved should be plenty to operate for a long time.

if Bush burns through his approved funds that's not anyone's fault but his.

the money he's asking for now is just to throw on the pile. if he vetoes it, that's his fault.

For the sake of argument, let's say we split the country in half. Libs take one side, Conservatives take the other, Two Americas. Which one would thrive, and why?

Should we only hear the rhetoric of the far right - the corporate representatives who's mantra is "ours is the only system that works(for us)"?

Do you think that this war was a mistake? And if not then why did Collen Powell resign? Do you think Bush and Chaney are getting paid from this war? And if so is the money the lives of young men and women?

And keep in mind that if you say "coming home is losing" you are merely admitting that you are so deeply brainwashed that there is no way humanly possible for you to admit that Iraq is a complete failure.

Our dependency on middle east oil is getting ridiculous.

We talk a lot about switching over to other types of energy to heat our homes, power our automobiles and machines, and for other things.

I think we all know that one day this will happen.

But realistically, when will we see it happen?

My guess? No time soon. Probably no within the next 20 years. Perhaps 30 to 40 years from now.

The only thing that would make us engage in the mighty task of such a huge shift would be if we were forced to by war or economic collapse.

What do you think?

My favorite is the Democrats want a bigger Government.

When the truth is Government always grows under Republican control.

How many Czars has Bush added
How many Cabinet Positions has Bush added
How many Agencies has Bush added
How many intelegence positions has Bush added.

This could go on and on. Big Gov is Bush Gov

Quite a few Americans don't eat turkey on Thanksgiving, so apt for ham instead. Pigs are cute, too. Don't you think one of them deserves a pardon too?

I'm serious. I'm a conservative, and he's certainly *never* been a conservative, but more like a liberal on a money drunk, as far as I can see. What is the attraction for those who also call themselves "conservatives?"
