Politics (Politics & Government) - 10 December 2007

have you seen a demonstration of what the CIA calls waterboarding technique to interrogate "terrorism suspects"? i think if Americans demand its use on Bush he will definitely come forward with information on who exactly ordered the apparent demolition of the twin towers and building 7.

Is the President supposed to make desicions based on what we want or what he wants?

Someone just answered a question asking if Bush is the worst president ever like this:
"Remember your insight 25 years from now when you are an adult and Bush is considered one of our better modern presidents. He is the first to take on this modern warfare of terrorism. He is not an idiot, he won the election to be the most powerful person on earth, twice! He is making unpopular decisions in spite of all the slander against him. If you remember Clinton, he made decisions based on polls.

When all the complications of our modern world are sorted out in the years ahead, history will be kind to Bush. It is media and Democratic propaganda that makes Bush look bad."

So even though the majority of people are not approving in the way he is going he shouldn't listen to them? isn't it the president's job to work FOR the people, he isn't a king, so shouldn't he listen to what we want? He should be listening to the polls, they represent the will of the American people... don't you think?

What is the best way to avoid war with Iran?

1) Leave Iraq, "we are only stirring up trouble and they want to be our friends"

2) Build bases in Iraq, "diplomatic efforts need a threat of force to be successful"

3) Let Iran have nukes, "what's the difference between us and them?"

4) Others... let's hear them.

Has Bush written his if you'd only believed in me speech this wouldn't have happened speech?

Paul Craig Roberts -google that name under the video section

He warns that there will be another terrorist attack and the Bush will use that to impose martial law and blame the liberals

If more Americans had only believed in me this would not have happened - is the prediction of Roberts that Bush will use as justification to less freedom a police state and a war with Iran

General Wes Clark says he was informed of a plan to invade Iran Iraq and 5 other nations in 5 yrs 2 weeks after 9/11 suggesting the war policy never had anything to do with inteligence but rather policy was made and inteligence had to fit that

What is Bush capable of to get all the way through his war plan he is several nations short of his goal

Unless Roberts and Brezenski Wes Clark Cinthia McKinney General Sanchez and others are all nut bars with leftist leaning bed wetting agenda's

Then we are all safe ?

Do you think George W Bush is the worst President we ever had? It seemed that he is not only there?

intellectually but also the way he speaks is not Presidential. Moreover, he has alienated the rest of the world, even England is staying away from us.
America is not the world. I have travelled to Europe and South America and most of the people there are just hating us because of Bush. They like the American people but they hate Bush. Nixon maybe a 'crook' but the things that Bush admistration with regards to respect of the law is just as worse if not even more.

If could pick anyone to be President , would you pick me ?

My goals are as follows -

1 - Military on Mexican border until we get up a triple fence .

2 - Jail all street gangs via RICO act .

3 - Pass a law banning business from expanding overseas .

4 - Abolish the Space program since there is no reason to waste billions of dollars looking at rocks when our infrastructure is in disarray here on earth !

5 - Expand the Presidents term to 5 years each , instead of 4 { I got to enjoy myself you know }

6 - End paper money , replace it with gold since it does not deflate .

7 - Set up neighborhood watches in every community .

8 - Put statues of the Constitution in every city in the country to remind people .

9 - Establish a train system to go to any city in America , sort of like Euro rail .

10 - Drug tests for people accepting welfare , if your on drugs - you lose out !

11 - Drugs tests for people in Congress { illegal and prescription since I believe alot of them are on anti-depressions , which could affect how they act } . Alert the people if they are and fire them if necessary .

Will you vote for me ?

Did the Constituional Framers ever change their minds during the debates?

Many framers entered this convention with very firm beliefs on how they felt a new constitution and thus government should be constructed. Did the debates that took place in the convention ever change any of these people's minds from their original plans? Also, do you have any examples of such an occurance. They all seemed really stead fast in their original beliefs to me

If you had to...?

If you had to vote, right here, right now.
Who would get your vote?

there's a lot to consider:

first black guy to be a president,
or first female president.

I'm all for their being a female president to break that barrier, but not all countries acknoledge women with the proper respect, so the first women president would have to be realy good to keep us from eating bombs from a couple hundred 3'rd world countries.
I don't think Clinton is up to the task

What do you all think?
