Politics - 29 November 2007

Unpaid Clinton staffer, a retired General, ask a question on gays in the military that was designed to embarrass the Republican candidates, especially the chritians. The question backfired, but CNN admits they knew he was a staffer for Hillery and was one for Keary 4 years ago. Yet, we are supposed to continue to buy their appollogies in the face of such evidence that CNN tried to get away with this sham, then say they're sorry after being caught.
Tell me what you think. Did CNN show remorse because they were wrong?
Or, say sorry because they were caught?

Did we? Is that really true?

Should we have stopped Hitler in 1933? How could we have done that short of invading Germany? What would have been the grounds for the invasion?

How could we have known Hitler was bad when he hadn't built Aushwitz or started any wars yet? Isn't who leads Germany for the Germans to decide rather than us Americans?

Is McCain saying that America has a duty to invade other countries to prevent someone from getting power that we don't like or suspect that we won't like in the future?

If that isn't what McCain was saying, what was he saying?

Just wondering because whenever something goes against the conservative way of thinking it's always because "the audience was stacked" or "the media was biased" or "the Nobel committee is socialist" or "there's war on Christmas", etc. etc, on and on.

Maybe, just maybe, the conservative side of the equation is just lacking?

Your thoughts please...

Deaths are down. Iraqis are moving back from Syria. Violence is dropping. Bush's troop surge is working. Are democrats terrified that this will destroy their presidential races? All we have heard from dem nominees is how we can't win.

Most of his supporters that I know are Italian and it is that Italian thing. OK. I understand ethnic loyalty. But what does he have to offer?

I can't see him taking on Putin except in a brawl and as Guilianai walked out to the alley to fight, Putin would simply push a button and blow up New York.. Well, you know what I mean. Even Putin has more class and is more Presidential. I am really interested in understanding this.

Thanks.

People who are against mandatory limits on greenhouse gas emissions say that placing limits will hurt the economy because the costs to business of modifying production methods or capturing gases emitted will be prohibitive.

Embracing the technology that will almost certainly be needed in the future to capture or "recycle" emitted gases would grow a whole new industry, however. Also, failing to limit emissions might have negative consequences for our economy as well, especially given that most of the rest of the world is moving in that direction.

Do you think limiting emissions will hurt our economy?

Note; this isn't a question about whether humans cause global warming or about Al Gore, so if you're wanting to respond to either of those please wait for a question on either of those.

An except from a former Republican President's Inaugual Address;

In public health the discoveries of science have opened a new era. Many sections of our country and many groups of our citizens suffer from diseases the eradication of which are mere matters of administration and moderate expenditure. Public health service should be as fully organized and as universally incorporated into our governmental system as is public education. The returns are a thousand fold in economic benefits, and infinitely more in reduction of suffering and promotion of human happiness.

Care to guess which Republican president stated this to the nation?

What a joke. All those republicans standing up there having to answer those goofy youtube questions on the debates late night. Anyone think it was completely weird? Seemed too "MTV" rock the vote. America is going to 'hell'
Why did no one raise the question of healthcare?
Who liked the new approval rating monitor going across as people were speaking? I can't believe even Republican women aren't pro choice!! Republicans are so whacked.

Is it well-documented that military recruiters focus on LOW-Income area's, to recruit new soldiers? If so, WHY? Could it be that the REAL "enemy", which George Walker Bush hopes, someday, to defeat, is NOT the Iraqi's, NOR the Taliban, etc. Is the real question: Isnt "war" a great way to REDUCE UN-EMPLOYMENT, WITHOUT the "hassle" of creating jobs? If so, how is this, in anyway, different from any other form of "ethnic cleansing"? Get rid of America's poorest people and, PRESTO! No more need for Social Security, Medicaid, etc. I ENCOURAGE READERS to WRITE to the WHITE HOUSE, and to CONGRESS. Send your thoughts, opinions, and questions, to WASHINGTON D.C. I have! Why dont YOU????

CNN misrepresented Dr. Paul's campaign ad in its transcript.

CNN writes:
"It's up to you to spread this message around this country. This is an American cause, it's a cause of freedom. There's something going on in this country, and it stinks. It really stinks."

Ron Paul's ad actually said "... it's big. It's really big." A much more positive message.

See the transcript for yourself here: http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/11/28/debate.transcript.part2/index.html

Watch the ad here: http://ronpaul2008.typepad.com/ron_paul_2008/2007/11/cnn-airs-ron-pa.html

Who else thinks that "certain people" have it out for Ron Paul?

After watching the debate I'm even more convinced that republicons are very out of touch with the majority of Americans and our day to day issues. All I heard between the lines was , greed, money, war, more war, immigration, immigration, religion and death penalty and our soldiers are homophobic neandrethals who can't handle a gay here and there. I'm surprised then that we have women in the military.

Hillary is steadily dropping in the polls and it appears doubtful she will pull off a win as the first female presidential party nominee.

As the easiest candidate for Republicans to beat in the actual election (not the primary), have Republicans made a crucial mistake in smearing her too early?

"Democrats like to define themselves as the party of poor and middle-income Americans, but a new study says they now represent the majority of the nation's wealthiest congressional districts."
