"You think people can work all day and then pick up their kids at child care or wherever and get home and still manage to sandwich in an eight-hour vote? Well Republicans, I guess can do that. Because a lot of them have never made an honest living in their lives." http://treyjackson.typepad.com/junction/2005/06/video_dean_repu.html
A collegial commission on legal matters Is the American Bar Association a collegial enough commision for you? The American Bar Association has unanimously rated Justice Owen well qualified, its highest possible rating. Link
When Warren Buffett gives away the majority of his money to the government, I'll listen to him.
David Kay said Iraq violated UN resolutions. China liberating the US from GWB would be the equivalent of Nazi Germany liberating the US from the "tyranny" of FDR. If the US was such a bad country, why did millions of Vietnamese come here after the Communist takeover? You know, the left thought Reagan was crazy for saying that Communism would be left on "the ash heap of history".
When did the Iraqis have an honest and open election about whether to be ruled by Saddam?
. AJCrowley: Did you favor or oppose the invasion of Afghanistan? We are in a hot war, see Sept 11. I am disappointed, Al-Jazeera didn't meet your standard for news reporting? What is your authoritative source for civilians killed by the US? For another perspective http://iraqthemodel.blogspot.com
I think part of the problem is that people have benchmarked their expectations on the job market of the dot-com/Y2K bubble.
I think that it is reasonable to say that when a man and a woman have consensual sex, they are responsible for any children that are created as a result. I think that it is too much for the government to mandate that a woman carry the child of her rapist.
You know you're far left when you think Olympia Snowe is too conservative. The thing is, Hillary is going to spend the next 3 years talking/voting like a moderate. Democrats love her so I would expect her to be nominated without too much trouble, especially since the Dems are lacking national leaders. I think she will lose the general election though. Helloooooooooo cattle futu
Threaten China with the possibility of a nuclear S. Korea, Japan, and/or Taiwan.
If them Democrat's plan is to try to convince social conservatives to vote for candidates who are not socially conservative...... um ok.
I am eagerly awaiting the Democrats' plan for reducing medicare expenditures. Why is a comprehensive retirement program funded by a payroll tax better than a means-tested program funded by a progressive income tax?
The only way a democrat can win is by being centrist. It would be helpful for that democrat to be someone who the liberal base believes is a true liberal, even as the candidate emphasizes centrist issues. I think Hillary could get the nomination and run a competitive election.
Most good freeware programs have a dedicated development team and some source of revenue. Many freeware programs are something that 1 or 2 people wrote in their free time and are fixed/updated when they feel like it. There's nothing wrong with that, but the software won't be as good as commercial quality.
In lieu of this, the president should offer a Marshall Plan with strict contingencies to any nation willing to face up to terrorism and to eradicate suffering of its people by putting them to work building a humane infrastructure for their future ECONOMIC AND MILITARY ASSISTANCE TO ALLIES AND STRATEGIC AREAS Economic Support Fund $2,132 million (The largest recipients by country are: Egypt $575 million; I
America is the #3 oil producer in the world.
Kerry wasn't dull and boring to listen to? The problem with the Democrats is that the left wing of the Democratic party is severely in disagreement with everyone in in the country. I think Lieberman would have won in the 2004 presidential general election. There has been talk about how the Democrats hope to duplicate the success of Gingrich-led Republicans in 1994. In
The Democrats don't seem to understand how much of a turnoff the militant left is. The GOP doesn't have Ann Coulter making introductions for candidates. She's out there, but she is not an official face of the party. The Democrats will continue to be a minority party until they jettison the extreme left.
Don't older people have higher health care costs than younger people? I am not a legal expert, but I don't think this would stand up in court.
This looks awesome, can't wait for beta.
Your link wasn't up when I was writing my post. The CIA world factbook ranking includes several autonamous regions that are not countries, the EU as a whole, and several countries that have the population of small to mid-sized cities.
We're #7 at Human Development Index, but 27th in life expectancy from birth. To put some perspective on that though, the leader is Japan at 81.3 (Japan was the only country above 80). The second highest country is Sweden, at 79.9. The US life expectency is 76.9. It's not the government's responsibility to force everyone to live healthfully.
No one was alive during the time of dinosaurs, so should we also consider the existence dinosaurs a theory. What about the constitution. Since no one is alive today that was alive back then, should we consider the constitution a theory? There's a difference between existence and behavior. If a scientist says, "Dinosaur X ran at speeds of 20 miles per hour" that would not be a fact. If evolution is a scientific theory, then what
It's easy for international groups like HRW to make these condemnations because they are not responsible for the security of America. It is not possible to thwart Al Qaeda (and other international terrorist groups) under the auspices of the criminal justice system, just as it is not possible to capture prisoners of war under the auspices of the criminal justice system. The problem is that terrorists do not declare themselves openly.
