Politics (Politics & Government) - 16 December 2007

Doesn't Congress have better things to do than worry about investigating the CIA. This is all that has been in the news. I am not worried about the CIA because I am a law abiding citizen that's not a threat to the U.S. Why don't they focus on getting America energy independent, helping the troops get their money to fight the war, and most important getting China to obey the fair trade laws that will help small and large US companies. The Democrats keep talking how they are for middle class. Well, Get China to trade fairly.

Why is it we have to compromise with corporate power for change in Washington, again?

The Des Moines Register endorsed Hillary Clinton because she would be more likely to compromise with corporate power for change in Washington and the country. How did corporations attain so much ill-gotten power in Washington in the first place? There is nothing in the Constitution that gives them political power whereby the People have to compromise with corporations to get our country back! Something is very wrong in Washington. John Edwards seems to understand it better than anyone, except perhaps Ralph Nader.

If a woman is pregnant and murdered, it's double homicide, why isn't it murder if the baby is aborted?

A person who murders a pregnant woman, and convicted of it, gets dual murder convictions, for TWO murders! Yet if a living woman has an abortion, it's NOT a murder.
Folks who have reason, is that reasonable? Does that make sense? If so, why?

Thank you!

Debunking the Iraq War - pros and cons of the Iraq War - Is it a lawful and justified war?

From all of the questions asked and comments rendered people in America just don't seem to understand or want to believe the truth concerning the Iraq War. Consequently, we will end up murdering millions of innocent people (foreigners) and we, our nation, really does not care. If by doing this our nation brings about World War III an armageddon or war to end all human life on this planet, do our people really care?

Question: Am I correct in my assumption above?

True facts:

1. It is against the law for any US President to declare war on any nation without the consent of Congress. The Bush administration got the funding for the Iraq war from congress and proceeded with the war in 1991.

2. The first Iraq War (1991) as well as the second (2003) and 11 years of sanctions against Iraq is both illegal and criminal. It is, also, unethical and murderous.

3. Our government had set Saddam up and lied about WMD to our nation and to the United Nations in order to secure resolutions,

(contd)

Advocates of Abortion, with living children, have you ever wondered what life would be like without them?

Have you ever looked you child in their face, REALLY looked, and said, "Thank you, Lord Jesus my child lives!"? If so, why do you think it's okay for someone else to wipe away another child's life? I don't understand that, so help me to, please? Thanks.

How can liberals be so concerned about the green house effect and support abortion at the same time???

There lieing to themselves and the world that they truely care about the earth and prove the fact that money drives the "environment machine" that they so dearly claim to care about. This is the biggest farse I have ever seen. We are not the only country on earth and have done more to prevent greenhouse gases than anyone else. We will never fix the so called global warming problem (if there even is one) on are own, but our taxes continually go up to fix something that we have no control over in the first place. I'm tired of the liberal BS, Al Gore, Hilary Clinton and the rest of there money hungry cronies. Open your eyes people, look at the money involved and respect the fact that they don't care about you or your unborn child. Marry CHRISTMAS........OH, I ment Xmas.

What do you think about the Byatch Slap the U.S. got from Papua N.G. at the climate change Conference?

Little Papua New Guinea proved to be better leader than our Great United States of America. The representative from Papua New Guinea stated a quote that said "Lead or get out of the way".
He further stated "We ask for your leadership, we want your leadership, but if you are not willing to lead, get out of our way and let others lead"
"The U.S. stand had drawn loud boos and sharp rebukes — "Lead ... or get out of the way!" one delegate demanded "
It used to be in times like this the US Leadership was a given and unquestionable. What has happened to US? We have lost so much respect on so many levels and on so many issues?
For this and other instances, What is the best first step in regaining our role as the respected Leader of the Free World?

Presume Democrats nominee for President is Hilary is it a risk for them knowing a woman nominee is untested?

The first Woman Prime Minister in history was Mrs.Sirimavo Bandaranaike of Sri Lanka,subsequently many countries like Britain etc. followed suit.The US inspite of its lead role in "liberation" of women has never had a Woman President.There is a strong possiblity they may have a woman nominee in the forthcoming Presedential polls,its interesting to know whether the gender factor will have any bearing in the decision of the voter polls being unchartered territory.

She pushes the point of being female more the she does being black. Why isn't she backing Hillary instead? Perhaps it's jealousy! I think she's got ideas about the future like the first black woman president!
