After dropping very substantially during the Clinton administration, the crime rate has again begun to rise dramatically. Is it because Bush trashed Clinton's Crime Bill, which proved so effective in reducing crime?

After 8 years of unprecedented economic growth under Clinton, Bush caused a mild recession (started in March of 2001) by bad mouthing the economy during the campaign. Yet he inherited what was basically a solid economic situation. Yet he had zero job growth during his first 4 years. And although unemployment is currently pretty low, around 4.5% he has never achieved the 3.9% achieved under Clinton.

I see a lot of sub-human similarities.

....claim that ALL the Democrat candidates are actually Christians even though they support NON-Christian actions such as abortion?

I apologize my grammar..

but would JESUS disapprove Huckabee's, Obama's, Clinton's, Edwards' CHRISTMAS ADVERTISEMENT???


Would JESUS tell them to use the money to help the homeless people and others.... especially the people in
New Orleans?
Instead of spending the money on commercial ad...

Do you think Jesus feels he is being USED???

I just want to learn about things and all of the smart people I know say Mr. Bush is an awful President who probably should be in jail. I ask questions about that on YA and the YA people say mean things and call me names when I just want to learn. Honestly, sometimes I could just cry. Is there some other forum I could go to for information where people are not so nasty and won't call me names?

Dems?

The GOP stirs them up about abortion = murder, but never about Insurance Corp fraud = murder.

If they are truly religious then they would be as equally outraged about Insurance Corp fraud = murder as they are about abortion = murder.

Or did God say Insurance corp fraud is an OK kind of murder?

When realistically the worst terrorist attack happened on their watch?
They failed to investigate the attack in a timely manner...and seemed to do as much as possible to undermine it! By giving it the least amount of money and limited time!

Within 18 seconds of this video she admits it was her husband's tenancy (the past decade) that "the intelligence" was built. This after Bill downsized the C.I.A. and the military in order to "balance the budget".

And now look at her POLITICAL statements. She is in it for her own political gain ..... not the TRUE interets of the country.

While he MAY not be the WORST, he clearly is in the bottom 3 or 4. No serious, objective person would try to challenge that fact. It's not a sin for a Prez of your own party to simply not work out for the best. So why all the emotional and empty attempts to defend the indefensible?

Is there a definition of the word? What's your definition? Do you see it as a derogatory insult or as a point of pride that someone has to stoop to name calling?

I mean with this undisputable evidence I cannot believe how anyone doesn't believe otherwise.

I am an independent voter. I am not backing for any candidates at this time. According to CNN, "Truth is, he wasn’t very religious,” said Obama. “He met my mother. My mother was a Christian from Kansas, and they married, and then divorced. I was raised by my mother. So I’ve always been a Christian."

He clearly stated that he was raised by his mother and she was a Christian. If it’s true, why did his mother get married to another Muslim after she divorced Obama's father? He spent his childhood in Indonesia with his mother & step father. I want independent voters (Please no Obama, Hillary, Edwards, or Republican voters) to respond please!

I can't decide between these two:

"Is that your family? Nice. Get yourself to a gym directly though. You are greedy, lazy, not very good looking and desperately in need to educate yourself on how f*cked your nation is right now. Good luck in life, you will undoubtedly need it. "

"Ron Paul is the only one who cares about America. You obviously don't. He speaks the truth unlike your Bushy. You stupid neocons are ruining the contry(sic)."

Why can't Paul's supporters ever talk issues?

I wonder why he is over here if he doesn't approve of our way of life. He said that freedom is like god telling people "it is my way, or the highway" referring to the idea that people should accept Islam and no other religion.

Is it OK for people to be on welfare as long as they work hard towards getting a job or should welfare be abolished entirely?

Dick Cheney and George W. Bush were having breakfast at the White House.

The attractive waitress asks Cheney what he would like, and he replies, "I'd like a bowl of oatmeal and some fruit."

"And what can I get for you, Mr. President?"

George W. looking up from his menu, replies with his trademark wink and slight grin, "How about a quickie this morning?"

"Why, Mr. President!" the waitress exclaims, "How rude! You're starting to act like Mr. Clinton!"

As the waitress storms away, Cheney leans over to Bush and whispers ... "It's pronounced, 'Quiche'".

NATO--big fat failure.
UN---bigger, fatter failure.
Maybe we should stick to George Washington's idea of no alliances. But why? What is so fundamentally flawed about having alliances?

I know from personal experience how the socialist state and union controlled public schools underserve ethnic minorities.

I volunteer with a private school and have helped ethnic more ethnic minority kids get a great education at private schools; a real education as opposed to the drivel and waste of time provided by the state-union public schools.
