With the likelyhood that Democrats will retain the majority in congress are we better of with a Republican President? With the exception of the current situation, the country has run fairly well with the power split up (ex. Reagan and a Dem Congress and Clinton with a Republican Congress). Thoughts?

I would imagine it is because countries there are more equals rather than one country being rich and another very poor. Compare that to the US and Mexico.

Crazy idea: to fix US immigration, work WITH neighbors to pull them out of poverty and they won't want to come to the US for jobs anymore.

Can't say it doesn't work, because it's working all over the EU right now.

When Bill Clinton was elected, he had a democratic majority in Congress.

So why did they cut education funding 16% ?

.

In 1973, 1978 and 1993, universial health care legislation was before Congress.

Each time, we had a Democratic majority Congress,

And each time, the Democrats tabled the universial health care legislation in committee and refused to allow it to be voted on.

Should they hire a bodyguard, pay out of pocket for doctors, and deny their federally funded pensions?

.
You often hear them give reasons why we should have it.

But they can never tell anyone, how much such a system would cost.

Or how it would be funded.

Why is that ?

The leader of a mainstream british party has disclosed that he is an atheist. A US congressman has done the same.

I know in some states it is illegal for an atheist to hold office, but do you think it is becoming possible for an atheist to hold political office.

Will the atheist vote ever be taken seriously? 5 to 10 % is a big number in politics and it could be bigger than that.

In that case, the founding fathers used their Christian values to establish a country in which;

One human being could own another human being

Where only white, male, property owners could vote or hold office.

Where women had little if any rights.

If the "Christian values" of the founding fathers were truly American values, it's unlikely we would have had a Civil War, a Women's Suffrage movement, or a Civil Rights movement.

The founding fathers established a country that suppressed the masses. Do we really want to see a return of these "Christian values?"

As a Massachusetts teacher, I'm glad that Mitt is giving me the credit for my part in this and not trying to use this statistic for his own political gain.

I'm sure Mitt worked really hard to help these students with their academics.

Remember the republican stance on the Teri Schaivo situation? They were fighting to keep her alive... make sure she had the right to keep her life going...

((I was AGAINST ending her life (even though i am Liberal))

but... my question is...

What if she hadn't had insurance... would you have been so eager to keep her alive? Would you have fought and argued to keep her alive if she wasn't covered under her insurance?


Is human life and health a right ONLY if you already have insurance??? or do we all ALWAYS have the right?
