"He is Late as Usual" in Politics JoeUser Forums

I was doing my normal morning treadmill exercise and at the same time watching the Democrats debate prior to super Tuesday. When asked about Haiti, Candidate Kerry replied “He's late, as usual. This president always makes decisions late after things have happened that could have been different had the president made a different decision earlier.” When pressed to explain his position, he said, “Well, first of all, I never would have allowed it

Can anybody please explain to me why public schools spend $5,000 per child while private school spend $1500? And when given the same test, the private school student gets better. What about the home-schooled children. The government does not give them a dime. Yet they excel better in grades. aconservative

In every new endeavor, the initial outlay of funds will be greater than the ordinary. Investment companies would like it because there is no competition. As the business grow and competition appears in the horizon, a strategic adjustment of costs becomes necessary. In 1939 the PanAm Clipper flew to Marseille, France with 22 persons on board and the fare was $675. In today's money it would be around $4000. Homes at that time were around $5000. Today

Hi Don, I agree with all you said, but if we know that it is not what it should be do we consider that to be the right way? On the subject of saying things that can not be substantiated, this will be the subject of discussion when the selected Democrat candidate is authorized to debate the President. At that time, we the people, will decide. aconservative

Russellmz2 I have to apologize for my statement about the French not going to Germany. My core beliefs tell me that I should apologize if I am misunderstood. Unlike those who can’t, support their statements and hide behind their egos. What I was really referring to is the French as a “Fighting Force”, The 3rd US Army under Patton crossed the Rhine River in March while the 7th US Army and the French did it in August. Do you agr

There are lots of Americans who do not have healthcare insurance. Included are even those with jobs. Why is this so? The real reason is because of the ambulance chasers and unions. The chasers camp outside healthcare facilities wishing for that opportune time. Union members manned these healthcare facilities asking for more pay. As a result the cost of healthcare becomes too excessive that healthcare insurance companies are forced to incre

russellmz2 You said: "An elaborate articulation of the New Deal heritage which he called the Fair Deal (civil rights, aid to education, national health insurance, public housing, a reformulated agriculture program) was mostly blocked by conservative opposition in Congress during his second term. " My reply: The civil rights act was passed because there were more republicans than democrats who voted for its passing.

Don Bemont Welcome! You said: Back to the orginal question -- the Democratic candidates are debating President Bush because he is the leader of the party that controls not only the presidency but both houses of Congress, thus holding control not only over the the results but even over what can reach the floor for a vote. For better or worse, health care, the economy, foreign policy, etc. have been in the hands of the Republic

jeblackstar Are you referring to "No child left behind"? Are you? With all the millions appropriated into "education", Johnny still can't read. Because we no longer have the likes of Mrs Everett, who dedicated her whole life, to ensure that Johnny can read. Our education system is now controlled by the union, who had their paws stretched begging more money, so they can contribute more to get their liberal candidates elected. Visit

You are all correct. Kerry with all his years in the Senate, can offer 3 legislations to marked his career. Somehow these politicians forget their job description once elected. Today a lib talkshow host, was saying the reason why the Patriot Act was passed, was because members of the congress and senate did not "read" it. Maybe because they can't read. aconservative

I watched from the TV the Democratic Debate in Los Angeles. Participants were Kucinish, Sharpton, Edwards and Kerry. Larry King was the moderator. All the debaters were critical of Pres Bush regarding health care, education, the economy, immigration, gay marriage, jobs, and foreign policy. Larry King admonished them by saying, “This debate is about the 4 of you. Why are you debating Pres. Bush? Which was a very good question.

Russellmz2 - I'll answer your questions - What if the candidate dies. Missesota is a state of many parties all of them had somebody running for senator. The democratic party do not have the sole rights to place their candidate into the Minnesota ballot. That holds true with every State of the Union. We do not have a 2 party system - only progressives, socialists, etc. do. These are the political parties of Minnesota who

jeblackstar - I congratulate you for your success in this country. I would like to pay my share of taxes too, The only problem about the "Taxing the Rich" mantra is this country of ours tax our "income" and not our assets. Mr Kerry states he will tax the rich. He has not defined the term rich. Some say rich is anybody above middle class. I wish these "balderdash" players define rich and middle class, quantitatively, so we th

I choose the Declaration of Independence because it spells our where our rights and our power came from. That those unalienable rights cannot be taken away (endowed) and give me (us Americans) the power to alter and replace the government we want. I did not choose the Constitution because it is just a statement of principles of the government established to secure (guard) our rights.

BalbousHead, What global solutions are you talking about? Are you referring to the large debating society called United Nations? Look at Haiti, a French speaking country. Where are the French? Look at the other French speaking colonies in Africa? They are butchering each other, yet the United Nations (headed by an African) is not doing a damn thing.

How would you word it? russellmz2 Please let me hear also your definition of gay that would stand in court?

Very simple - Because of the freebies that the government has in store if you are gay. One university has a program of giving grant to gays. Grants are free money. What prevents any Tom, Dick and Harry to masquerade as gays in order to take advantage of these grants. Anybody can be gay, because nobody can identify who is a real gay. Same thing with gay marriages. It's the freebies that are at stake. Remember the "level the playing field mentality". It can only be
