How does one justify that one of the wealthiest nations in the world (The U.S.) can't find a way to ensure that everyone who's willing to put in their share and work full time is able to have access to affordable health care for themselves and their dependents? Are there really conservatives who feel this is acceptable?

A lot of people tell us how peaceful Muslims are.

There doesn't seem to be any in this mob ---->

"Thousands of Sudanese, many armed with clubs and swords and beating drums, burned pictures of a British teacher Friday and demanded her execution for insulting Islam by letting her students name a teddy bear Muhammad."

God's chosen people or not I think they'd be HISTORY.

They truly are an arrogant people who look down their nose at the world. Not to mention a controlling interest in our government.

He has already stated that if the US interferes, he will suspend sale of oil to the USA. If that happens will our gas prices triple? Or do you think its just hard talk?

Is it because conservatives are bloodthirsty warmongers who love to see others suffer and die who aren't white? (Not that there is anything wrong with that).

...the defeatist democrats retreat from '08 election as fast as they would retreat from terrorists?
Should the dems concede that they remain wrong about every issue that improves America and do the right thing?

Or maybe most Iraqis don't want a Foreign Military Occupation?

"Attacks against U.S. forces have increased in other Iraqi provinces — like Diyala, Saladin and Mosul.

The U.S. army reported dozens of soldiers killed throughout November while local reports insisted that the U.S. casualties are much higher than declared.

A female suicide bomber wounded seven U.S. soldiers Wednesday in Baquba - - the capital city of the volatile Diyala province, northeast of Baghdad — when she detonated her explosive vest near the troops.

On Tuesday in the same city, another suicide bomber detonated his explosives-filled vest in front of the police headquarters — killing six people and wounding seven, according to Iraqi police.

Underscoring how tenuous the peace in al-Anbar is, on Nov. 22 a car bomb exploded in Ramadi, killing at least six people in what was one of the deadliest attacks there in recent months."

Do we want a president who is involved in these rituals? He was married in the Mormon temple and was involved in these same kind of rituals. And believes the prophet that started these rituals was from God.

1967 Arab-Israeli War lasted 6 days. How did a really small country like Israel manhandle Jordan, Egypt and Syria. The nations of Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Algeria also contributed troops and arms to the Arab forces.

All these Islamic countries were beat by tiny Israel in just 6 short days!

What does this say about Islam?

A line is being drawn in the sand. Which side of the line are you on? Protesters want this woman killed because she allowed her students to name a teddy bear Muhommed. Should she be saved by any means necessary or do you want to sacrifice her to a greater good?

It's okay to admit it. As a Liberal, most of the people you would find at an anti-war rally would make me blush.

Liberals are perennially enraged that Republicans are allowed to talk back. For years, this wasn't a problem, because, in Lenin's immortal words, they had seized the telegraph office. There were only three TV stations, three major newspapers, and a handful of national magazines, all run by liberals. But at least since Rush Limbaugh got a microphone, liberals haven't been able to make arguments in a vacuum.

The Liberal party do not get it. When the moderates ran it, like Dr John Hewson, they combined liberal ideals and compassion with success. Since the right wing faction has taken control they are anything BUT liberal. Voting in Nielson shows they do not get it at all.
