I am tired of the Democrats and Republicans. I have done a fair amount of research on the Libertarian party. I am in favor of their hands off government aproach. What is your opinion of the party? Do you believe it is time for a new way to govern? Do you beleive this party is a feasbale answer to this countries problems?

The Schip program has been widely recognized as a well run cost effective program that brought health care to millions of children who would otherwise have done without. In denying its benefits to another 10 to 12 million children who are now uncovered while at the same time spending two hundred million dollars a minute on a tribal civil war in Iraq I think it is clear the Bush’s family values extend only to his immediate family and even then only on what he perceives as his lofty place in history. The question is how many children will suffer between the time the existing limited bill expires and the Democrats come to power and rush a bill through. One is too many, two is obscene.
Isn’t it strange that the Republican debate did not mention health care at all. I guess they just placed their faith in the availability of Huckabee’s holey healing cloths.

But clues to a new natural contribution to the melt arose when scientists discovered a thin spot in the Earth’s crust under the northeast corner of the Greenland Ice Sheet where heat from Earth’s insides could seep through, scientists will report here this week at a meeting of the American Geophysical Union.

"The behavior of the great ice sheets is an important barometer of global climate change,” said lead scientist Ralph von Frese of Ohio State University. “However, to effectively separate and quantify human impacts on climate change, we must understand the natural impacts too.”

Is it possible that nature has more to do with global warming that humans?

In August of 1998, Huckabee was one of 131 signatories to a full page USA Today Ad which declared: "I affirm the statement on the family issued by the 1998 Southern Baptist Convention." What was in the family statement from the SBC? "A wife is to submit herself graciously to the servant leadership of her husband even as the church willingly submits to the headship of Christ."

The ad wasn't just a blanket, "we support the SBC statement," but rather highlighted details. The ad Huckabee signed specifically said of the SBC family statement: "You are right because you called wives to graciously submit to their husband's sacrificial leadership."

Does anybody else note the inconsistencies in the conservative pro-war arguments? Here is my favorite one, and it is the reason I asked the above question:

We should be allowed to torture our enemies because they are not prisoners of war since they wear no uniforms; yet apparently they're strong enough and organized enough to come to the USA and invade and overpower our military if we don't keep our troops in Iraq.

Since even the President isn't pretending any more that the war in Iraq is remotely related to 9/11, that means that the OFFICIAL story is that the events of 9/11 were not the start of this war. (Which makes sense since this war wasn't actually started until March 20, 2003.)

So where is the proof that the insurgents in Iraq will head to the U.S. if we pull our troops out? When has Iraq EVER invaded the U.S.?

(Why this was deleted before, I have no idea! No, I am not violating any TOS; I checked twice, thank you very much.)

Question: "What's your take on contraception?"

Why this matters: "If their statements and actions are indicators, most of the GOP candidates oppose contraception. Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee, Ron Paul, Tom Tancredo, Duncan Hunter, and Fred Thompson all define life as beginning at conception or fertilization, in other words when sperm meets egg."

This stance has wide ranging implications. For one thing, it strictly limits what couples may do in the privacy of their homes; barrier contraceptives like condoms (or, *GASP!* abstinence) are the only methods people may use to prevent pregnancy.

How do ya'll feel about your potential President dictating what contraceptive methods you may or may not use during sex? Do you think this may have further slippery slope implications? Serious and HONEST responses only, please.

If there's one thing that economists agree on, it's that these claims are false. We're not talking just ivory-tower lefties. Virtually every economics Ph.D. who has worked in a prominent role in the Bush Administration acknowledges that the tax cuts enacted during the past six years have not paid for themselves--and were never intended to. Harvard professor Greg Mankiw, chairman of Bush's Council of Economic Advisers from 2003 to 2005, even devotes a section of his best-selling economics textbook to debunking the claim that tax cuts increase revenues.

In your personal opinion,
What do you think will happen if we (elected a democrate president) who wants to pull out of Iraq?
It seems a lot of people on here want to get out of Iraq. Which financially makes alot of sense, but as far as our safety is concerned how are dems going to react when the war comes here (if it does)?


Thanks for your answers.

Or did they simply try to give a handout to people who have big TVs and decent cars but are too irresponsible to pay $100 a month to insure their own kids like most responsible, working Americans do?

How can People seriously say the President hates children, it's scary that there are people that don't see facts and only hear what they want to.

Before the ignorant people make more ignorant comments I'm NOT saying don't vote Democrat, I'm saying find out what you're talking about before speaking.That is the problem there are too many people voting on emotion rather than the facts.

Did you know that bill the President Vetoed had things attached to it that weren't involved with childrens's healthcare?

Dems in congress do this on purpose if it passes they get something out of it, if not they can exploit these kids to use it against the president. So Congress who are pretending to help kids only to get something out of it are the real bad guys.

all I'm saying is don't just side with someone because they are part of your political party, I don't side with everyone in my party, in fact I haven't found a presidential candidate I'm willing to back. I say find out facts first.

sometimes wish we could sit in the big chair sometimes....
I know that I do. So we can try to solve some of the simple

dignity. What would you do, if you were elected president
in 2008 ? Best answer wins.
