Politics - 10 December 2007

Is it a lack of patriotism, or maybe they realised it was just another unnecessary war.

Bill Clinton included :)

I don't think so, at all. If not, wouldn't African American folks still be 3/5's of a person?

The Letter

Dear Chairman Conyers

I am writing in support of H. Res. 799, the Articles of Impeachment which were referred to the committee relative to the Impeachment of the Vice President of the United States of America.

Recent reports indicate that the Vice President is attempting to shape the National Intelligence Estimate on Iran to conform to his misperceptions about the threat Iran actually poses. Much like his deceptive efforts in the lead up to the Iraq war, the Vice President appears to be manipulating intelligence to conform to his beliefs.

If the reports are true, they add additional weight to the case for impeachment. I believe impeachment remains the only tool Congress has to prevent a war in Iran. This information relates directly to the Article III charges in the resolution. I urge your timely consideration.

Sincerely,
/s/
Dennis J. Kucinich
Member of Congress

have you followed up on any foreign aids to see who really gains from them? can you give me an example? Americans believe that they are really helping other countries but who are they really helping?
IE; the foreign aid which was sent to philippine was invested in heart research! the only problem is that the life expectancy in philippine is very low ie; 23 years old and they don't get old enough to have heart problems! not only the rich filipino but the rich people everywhere in the world would gain from this research!
they always somehow find their way to help and promote corporations interest! please feel free to do your own research! foreign aid or corporate aid?!! corporations are receiving welfare and the foreign aid too?! isn't that double dipping? is that considered to be welfare fraud?!

A. People who think that the country needs less war, less outsourcing, less free trade, and more investment in America to create American jobs.

B. People who think we need to do whatever it takes to fight "Islamofascists" above all else.

It seems, like it or not, like the Democrats have the better chance of winning the presidency in 2008.

So I'm wondering: on balance, would nominating Mrs. Clinton help or hurt their chances? What are the pluses and minuses?

Thanks.

I can recall, in my lifetime, when Americans were not quite as wealthy as they are today. It seems back then that most people wanted to make the country and the world a better place to live for all people. It was a time of a dream of equality and equal opportunity for prosperity.
That dream seems to be dieing with the generation, and a new dream emerging, one that seems centered on an entirely different goal.
Americans now seem quick to abandon programs designed to help the disavantaged. They seem quick to want to "protect" their interest overseas. They seem quick to adopt policies to serve the interest of those with plenty or those who can add to the wealth of industry.
Has the success of generations passed, corrupted the American spirit? Has wealth and material possessions become the single pursuit of happiness?

I think we should be teaching our kids:

Constitutional Law
Money management
Science
Basic Math
Child developement
Medicine
Wood and Metal working
Farming

Basically everything we adults do, and not all that other mindless drivel.

Maybe he is just thinking and more interested in becoming Americas first black president?


Oh yes and by the way, for all the people who think this is the start of a racist question just because he is brown and I know there are a lot of you out there....... it isn't. It is just a question that got brought up by someone today.

She has every right to choose the candidate she feels will do the best job. You can disagree with her selection, which I do, but why is she called a racist by some here just because her candidate is black? If she endorsed Hillary, would she be called a sexist??

Thank You.

I believe some issues are a right and wrong, while most are a right and left issue. Just because we have differing opinions on issues doesnt mean one is right or more right or wrong than the other.

To sin by silence when they should protest makes cowards of men.

If by the mere force of numbers a majority should deprive a minority of any clearly written constitutional right, it might, in a moral point of view, justify revolution.

(HR 1955 homegrown terrorist act) makes a violent protester a terrorist rather than a dissentor gone too far...

I've seen a lot of people here this morning complaining that Oprah's endorsement of Obama comes only because he is black.

So I have two questions.

1. So what? The man would not have come this far if he was some schmoe off the street; he has political experience (not enough, in my book, but that's irrelevant to this discussion) and he has shown excellent leadership qualities; so if Oprah IS only endorsing him over, say, Hillary Clinton or John Edwards because of the color of his skin... so what?

2. If the only problem you have with her endorsement is that you think it's racially motivated... if he was exactly the same guy, only white, would you let Oprah endorse him without whining about it?

We're losing jobs that WE REALLY WOULD do, like high-tech jobs, to India, and manufacturing jobs to China- Those are jobs that were once HIGH-paying U.S. jobs that seem more crucial than back-breaking migrant work. What do you think?
