Politics - 17 December 2007

Over 60% of the budget is dedicated to "entitlements" (welfare, social security, etc), a darling cause of the libs.
20% goes to defense.

I am a Liberal. And I cringe, at the fact that we could end
up with a certified Mormon, in the White House. Would
you guys rather bend over backwards, for a chance at
Conservative immortality, or extreme fascism, just to
have your own true beliefs, altered by a religious cult.
That is planning on thwarting out Christianity in the end.
And has tried to do so, since the days of J Smith.
Who said that the Garden of Eden, is in the state of
Missouri ! Gimme a break ! Don't do it. I beg thee.
The Republican Party has lost its integrity, and honor.
There is no hope. America can not deal with any more
of this debauchery. And oh by the way, us Libs, do go to
church, and believe in the gift of the HOLY GHOST.
But this current ensamble cast of degenerates, have no
place in power. Vote Democrats in '08. Oh and after this
next scandal, you will. I promise you that....
Should Romney be president ? Best answer wins. ~~~

Note that people that get high are the most liberal. They dislike corporations and tend to support a greener earth.
They participate in their govt with activism.

Does this seem like that it encourages awareness? Notice the hippies were the first to be environmentally aware and teach peace and love.

have you met a republican conservative stoner?

It seems she is destined for coronation as America's first female president. At least, that's what SHE believes. Does the Democrat base have the courage to choose Obama or Edwards over her?

Do you think this is another case of Labour mismanagement of tax payers' money?

http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/article-23428109-details/Gateway+to+a+housing+disaster/article.do

Ministers are under pressure to conduct an independent review of the troubled Thames Gateway project as the full extent of mismanagement and excessive bureaucracy blighting the scheme is exposed.

The development, the biggest of its kind in Europe, was thrown into turmoil with the ousting of chief executive Judith Armitt, who lost the confidence of senior figures at the Department for Communities and Local Government, including Housing Minister Yvette Cooper. But Opposition MPs claim she was a scapegoat for a project which is threatening to become a "Dome-like" embarrassment for Gordon Brown.

The regeneration scheme promises up to 225,000 jobs and 160,000 homes in a 40-mile corridor along the estuary from Docklands to Southend and Lewisham to the Isle of Sheppey

Just as Bill Clinton and his immoral character should impact your view on him, do you want another President who cheats and lies and has an obvious character flaw as your next President?

Many will say that is his personal life, do you think his dishonest character would be reflected in his presidency?

Why would a man who supported Tony Blair's proposed 90-day limit that was defeated, now oppose the proposed further increase to 42 days? Surely he should be in favour? Seems very strange to me...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7148108.stm

Plans to extend the detention without charge limit for terror suspects from 28 to 42 days have been criticised by ex-Lord Chancellor, Lord Falconer.

He told BBC Radio 4's World at One the measure was "not necessary and not needed to fight terrorism".

Lord Falconer, who backed Tony Blair's attempt to extend the limit to 90 days, says he has changed his mind because suspects are being charged earlier.

He also dismissed the key safeguard offered to win over sceptics.

Lord Falconer said that allowing a vote in Parliament on any case where detention went beyond 28 days was not realistic and risked compromising any police investigation.

Bush authorized the Fed to auction off money to Banks today to help them with this peskey Subprime problem.

Not being a economic expert like Bush I fail to see how borrowing more cash from foreign governments. Then selling it at a loss to Banks is good for America.

Someone just asked this question in their response to a question I posed, and I thought it deserved a little more attention, because it's a good point.

During the first portion of Bush's Presidency, he was "blessed" with a Republican-Controlled Congress. Since abortion is murder and should be made illegal, and since Congress is the lawmaking body in this country... why didn't they do anything about it while they had the majority?

And please don't say they didn't do it because they were afraid of what liberals would do. True bravery is doing what's right regardless of the consequences, even the consequences from those big scary liberals.

So what about it, conservatives? What happened? Why wasn't MURDER outlawed while you controlled Congress?

I understand that it's actually a wedge issue, but there are those people who genuinely make their voting decisions based largely on how a candidate feels about this particular issue - so my question is, why? How is that logical?

A President cannot enact legislation in this country, so who cares how he or she feels about abortion?
