Bush Doll would say? To be fair what would the pull string former Pres. Clinton doll say? You know how some of the baby dolls, when you pull the string say "Feed me ***** i'm hungry". Naw just kidding, that would be a Saturday Night Live doll.

He is getting involved with the NFL and cable companies so that games on NFL Network might be seen by more people.

Is this a good idea for a government figure to get involved like this?

Had the Bush admin not fabricated lies and cherry picked information, yet the war was launched anyway, wouldn't there be fewer people upset with the war regardless of the outcome?

My guess is had the Bush admin been honest, the Iraq war would not have happened at that time. Your thoughts please.

To actually have an understanding of how the public feel about things? Obviously ignoring the trolls and people like that who just answer for points or to cause arguments. I just feel that the vast majority of the needs of the country are being ignored by those, especially the PC Brigade. I can understand the methods behind their policies, but it's causing such bad feeling in the country on so many issues - it feels at times they do not have a proper touch on reality. As I'm ending university now, I have made friends with a lot of people who are going into politics and have had this discussion with them. Just wondering what you all thought??

Like the Grand Canyon and Yosemite National Park?

Or do you think corporations should be allowed to operate within these areas, come up with their own tourist operations, and maybe build some strip malls, mcdonalds, Wal-marts, hotels, if they think they can make some profit from it?

...single most unifying, most celebrated, most joyous day in known global history ? You gotta realize the global celebrations (and not just in those "evil non-Christian countries") that will go down when Bush hits the road.

In my opinion, a coporation is essentially the government excusing a business owner of legal and financial responsibility for the actions of their business. It is essentially Governmental insurance.

I can understand why the government would want to offer the ability to incorporate --- to spur people to creat business that employ it's people --- but shouldn't the government demand certain things in return for this golden dome of protection?

Things I'd like to see:

1) limits to how much an employee of a corporation can make. Not hard limits like "10 M annually" but multipliers, like no more than 300x your lowest paid employee or 15 x your lowest paid contractor.

So Walmart who's lowest paid employee makes say $8 an hour = ~16K a year, could only play their top execs 4.8M a year. If the top execs want a raise, they have to pay their working stiffs more.

2) No more than 30% of your hired or contracted workforce can be foreign.

Opinions?

Abu Dabi buys minority controlling stake in Citibank.
Im talking about Countries (not foreigners) buying major US companies (not US Bonds).
Foreign countries that are not exactly for the best interests of the USA and have policies towards minorities and women that are not legal in the United States.

Looks like companies aren't taxed enough if they have 70 million left over to give one executive officer while Americans are losing their homes.

As I've been saying all along, maybe we don't know all the facts.

We all agree global warming is real, it is the cause that is at issue. Can we, from both sides, agree that we do not yet have all the facts?

From the USGA...

Here's my rationale: I believe that our next President will most likely be a Democrat, regardless of the candidate. I would hate to see Hillary in the White House again, so do I vote for the lesser of the Democratic "evils" or vote my values? I feel like a Republican vote in the primaries might be a waste.
