Politics - 18 December 2007

I do not think it will. I think people will make a decision based upon the candidates that are on the ballot, not upon who is currently in the White House.
If you believe it will, then why did Gore not win HUGE in 2000?
Clinton was very popular, was he not?

Thank You, As Always!

The UN investigators said photographic evidence - corroborated by testimony of former prisoners - showed detainees shackled, chained and hooded. Prisoners were beaten, stripped and shaved if they resisted, they said.

The report's findings were based on interviews with former detainees, public documents, media reports, lawyers and questions answered by the US government, which detailed the number of prisoners held but did not give their names or the status of charges against them.

Some of the interrogation techniques - particularly the use of dogs, exposure to extreme temperatures, sleep deprivation and prolonged isolation - caused extreme suffering.

"Such treatment amounts to torture, as it inflicts severe pain or suffering on the victims for the purpose of intimidation and/or punishment," the report said.

The UN experts who wrote the report had sought access to Guantánamo Bay since 2002. Three were invited last year, but refused in November after being told they could not interview detainees.

Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman said the UN report "clearly suffers from their unwillingness to take us up on our offer to go down to Guantánamo to observe first-hand the operations."

On Fox News this morning Ron Paul was being interviewed. One question was about a new ad from Huckabee. Here's the story on the ad: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,317222,00.html
The question asked Ron Paul if he thought it was appropriate to use religion in politics. Senator Paul's response was to point at Huckabee (and in general at Christians) and said that facism would be wrapped in a cross. So Senator Paul is calling Christians Fascist.

Before you answer, please review definition of Facism:
Fascism is an authoritarian political ideology (generally tied to a mass movement) that considers individual and social interests subordinate to the interests of the state or party. Fascists seek to forge a type of national unity, usually based on (but not limited to) ethnic, cultural, racial, and religious attributes.
Considering the success of the Anti-Christian left, this term doesn't apply.

What do you think?

Did they put up posters saying you are now under the rule of the german reich and must your government will be run from Berlin? or make radio announcement to that effect. Just how were the day to day business of running those countries handled? and by whom? and lastly how did the patriots of those countries react to how their countries were being run while under occupation?
