I believe it was the French that first went PC. Back in the 1800's they started calling their bums, the "Leisure Class"! It worked for a while then burned out as they went back to calling em bums. In the early 1990's in our USA some entrepreneur capitalized on the PC "business" & came up with a way to pocket some more federal reserve notes for himself. He coined the phrase "homeless people" to replace the then used word..."bums". Presto! The bums now had a dignified sounding title & a "cause", & the entrepreneur had a "reason" to ask Uncle Sam for "free" financial aid to help put a roof over the bums heads. Of course the entrepreneur had to be paid & of course the bums are still panhandling at the intersections! We the taxpayer pay for these "schemes" with our sweat thru unrepresented taxation. I'm voting for Ron Paul in a hope to end these schemes & squandering of our hard earned federal reserve notes thru mindless taxation.. Are you with me for Ron Paul?

The American dream has been something the rest of the world has wanted for themselves for a long time. That is one of the many reasons we have so much imigration, both legal and illegal.
If we adopt the same socialist programs as the rest of the world, don't we become like the rest of the world? What happens to the "American dream"?
I've never heard of "the swedish dream, or the Danish dream!".
Why would we want this?!!!

It's the same old story,

US. government claims 128 Vietcong and 22 civilians were killed, but in reality it was " the mass murder of 347 to 504 unarmed Vietnamese civilians, mostly women and children"

Do they think that this was the first close election in History? Why do you think the founding fathers made this system with these specific courses of action?

My own opinion is not very well, the Blair Regime was a pre-planned help "myself", and more dictitorial than Margarete Thatcher, but Brown is again bowing to George bush, his economics are a farce as he had countless million of pounds off mobile phone Companies and also dipped into windfalls from large Co, sell offs, what he spent on the health service was wasted on P.F.I. and Doctors and management salories, the sham he portayed is highlighted by the way he bribed pensioners with a £200. 00. which should not only continued but increased in line with the council tax increases, I most definately give him thumbs down

Before the election was announced John Howard commissioned a report into nuclear power headed by ex Telstra chief executive Ziggy Switkowski. The report concluded that 25 reactors could be built by 2050.
Considering that all our major trading partners use nuclear power (US, UK, France, China, India, Germany, Israel, Mexico)
why shouldn't Nuclear power be an option.
Australia' s greenhouse gas emmissions are the worst in the world per-capita and we have large supplies of uranium.
Shouldn't nuclear power be looked at as a stop gap until renewables can bring base load power into the grid at an acceptable price.
I accept waste, proliferation, water usage and public perception are against nuclear power.
Would you accept a nuclear plant in your neighbourhood?

McClellan is the first Bush team member to totally flip on the rest of them... and what he is claiming would be a felony under laws that Bush's father himself helped to put in practice.

But is it too late to think about Impeachment?

Can a President be detained or tried for a felony after he has left office?

listen and reading the news weeks ago that Senator Clinton has the white house due to her poll numbers. now, we read the Obama is now ahead in the polls in Iowa, same media folks (some) are puzzled and questioning the numbers. I think that the media is slanted towards Senator Clinton. Do you agree?

And will any African Americans on here vote for Obama just because he's black. And will any Mexicans vote for Bill Richardson just because he's Mexican.


If he runs again in 4 years, he would probably when because after that many years with a dem in office, illegals will have the right to vote.ahhhhh!

When will they stop asking the United States to protect them? Hasn't the United States paid too much already for Europe's defense?

while several countries in that part of the world got nukes...actual nuclear weapons, and got them without getting permission, and violating international protocol..including India, Pakistan, Israel.

Does it not seem just a bit, unfair to Iran that they would be targeted for doing something that others have done repeatedly without repercussions. The word that comes to mind is disingeniousness.

It seems that if a soldier received and enlistment bonus and did not serve his entire tour in Iraq as agreed due to being blown up by an IED and losing full vision in one eye or some other catastrophe, cannot fight any longer and comes back home...it seems the Bush adminstration's Pentagon is sending them letters saying...."$3,000 etc....is due us".

lol

UNBELIEVABLE !!!! AND these are the people making our key decisions???? and in charge of protecting us???

LMAO, ROFL
