like "Hey...you could be living in Afghanistan!" I really don't understand this "argument" at all. Yes, America is a better country to live in than Afghanistan. But...My God...is that really where you want to put the bar? Is that really all we should expect of one of the wealthiest countries in the world? That it be better than Afghanistan?

How about we make it a national motto "America...Hey, you gotta admit, we're better than Afghanistan!" or "America...You'd rather be here than in...say...Somalia, right?"

The current cost of the Iraq war has been $600 billion dollars, and will soon be 1 Trillion dollars---all of it on the Federal VISA card at the moment.

Rather than past this crushing debt on to the next generation, why not tax all Americans now, so as to pay for it "as it goes" year by year?

What better way to "support the troops", then by actually supporting them out of our paychecks?

OTTAWA - Prime Minister Stephen Harper is warning Canadians to brace for fiscal belt-tightening as a looming economic collapse in the U.S. threatens to make waves north of the border.

The writings is on the wall ?

A good way for a Conservative PM to distance himself from Bush - even though he loves Bush ?

---------

If the US economy did collapse what would be the likely outcome - military coup police state and what about all those nukes would they be safe if and when the American economy does collapse ?

Does that mean the U.S. leans more to the right.

It will for me. The worst mud slingers are not getting my vote. I'm tired of it.
I don't care what they stand for, they will not get my vote.

They have really only taken soft blows at eachother.

They have virtually identical policies when you really look at them.

Could they still run on the same ticket or will the Republicans be able to divide and conquer?

Is there any way that a Republican could strategize a win in this election?

Afterall, what could be better for the GOP than getting to confuse all of W's failures with another Clinton Presidency?

When something goes wrong I always hear people blaming the CIA, even when its impossible for it to be their fault.

What event that has gone wrong would you like to bame on them. If you started a conspiricy theory about it, what would it be?

China and India and Japan and whomever else wouldn't be the manufacturing force they have become if it weren't for the fact that American companies went to them looking for cheap labor and less stringent environmental and tax regulations!

Isn't this an example of why American business should have been held to some kind of nationalism? I do not mean Communism, but Americans who own companies and have for decades made their fortunes from American workers and American consumers should hold some responsibility to Americans!!

WE made them what they are!

how it happend?
Explanations on how explosives were actually the right possibility?


This isn't about the conspiracy theories. Its about the problems with nationalism.
I don't care about conspiracy theories.
What is important is showing the fact that people let their political beliefs and what they WANT to believe affect their judgment and opinions.

I'm not from America and this is kind of strange... We have Libertarians, Socialists, Christian Democrats, "The Green" and some fascist nationalistic parties. Candidates like Schwartzenegger, Giuliani and Ron Paul aren't really typical Conservatives... So why is it still just the Democrats and the Republicans in the US? Is it forbidden by law to found a third party?
