Social Security We Must Insure that Social Security is there for the Silent Generation, help the Baby Boomers prepare for life with reduced Social Security Benefits, and wean those who will follow (my generation included) from it completely. The overhaul of Social Security is long over due, those of us in our 30’s and 40’s have known for a while now that the syst
I've been preparing for an onslaught of atricles about issues we need to start talking about for the mid terms and 08. I've put together a list of issues and my solutions for them. The First batch focuses on National Interests and the list includes Health Care, Social Security, Technology, Education, the Economy, Taxes, the Defecit Gun control, and Crime.<
I say go for it. Unfourtunately for him I don't think he'll have time if it does come to pass, because all of the other states will be certified by then. Everyones been saying that no election is "fair" both sides cheat. I think we need to put an end to it, and if over turning an election is what it takes, then so be it. I have no confidence in the electoral process, and neither do a lot of other people. I honestly beleve that there was
I know it's a long shot, and not the kind of thing people talk about, but it could happen. If it does, I just want to see how gracfully Bush handles it. And his supporters.
Obviously you didn't read the entire article, because there are thousands of additional undercount ballots that would come into play once the provisional are counted. This could lead to a very slim Kerry victory. Dont worry drmiller I'll help you out. But as Howard also pointed out - and my colleague David Shuster so thoroughly extrapolated in a previous post on Hardblogger - the provisionals plus the 'undercount' could make things v
This could be an interesting couple of weeks. http://www.northcountynews.com/view.asp?s=11-24-04/news5.htm
Terp I put an ad in the paper a couple of months for an entry level desktop support person. I got 47 applicants in 2 days. Of those applicants, 22 had ten years or more experience. I made numerous phone calls to these people letting them know it was an entry level position and that the salary would be below 30K - only a handful cared. One told me he's been working in the mall since 2002 and cou
2008 will be an intersting election because basically there will be no Republican Stars. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, MD is possibly the front runner in my book. But I think after 4 more years of Bush the pendulum will swing back to the Dems. The deficit will soar to new heights, and the economy will be slow and steadily growing, but not a factor in the next election. I'm basing that on nothing more than past cycles. The issues will be an ex
This is the area where I cannot agree at all with you. I was born in 1963 and have been paying into a system for 17 years that you say I should not get a penny out of. I understand and it's tough to draw a line. I drew the line where I did, because it gives everyone a good 20 years, 24 in your case to
After a long discussion with my Step father this weekend, I started to wonder where I stand politically. He was surprised to hear my stance on some of the issues. He had long colored me a bleeding heart liberal, and I tried to show him that he and I really aren't that far apart. He is very conservative. I think of my self as a Moderate. I'd like your opinion. I'
So basically 300 climate scientists warn that winter temperatures in Alaska, western Canada and eastern Russia have risen by up to 4 C in the past 50 years - and could warm by up to 7 C. And you take the work of <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#FFF394 class="mb-Body
Why would the U.N. and other nations agree on such an action that violates Hussein's sovereignty? I don't know, but 34 agreed to invade his country isn't that a violation of his sovernty. The UN was willing to compromise at the time, They wanted to avoid another all out war, because they foresaw what
The policy, practice, or advocacy of extending the power and dominion of a nation especially by direct territorial acquisitions or by gaining indirect control over the political or economic life of other areas; extension or imposition of power, authority, or influence. Yep it means what I think it means.
First of all the deaths are horrible. I am saddened by them. As I sit here looking at a picture of my own child on my desk, i think it's important to say that even one death is too many when it is your own child. These are not statistics we are tossing around but the deaths of innocents. May God hold them dear. As far as the sanctions go, it is impossible to lay the blame of all those deaths soley and squarely on them. The country was des
Reply By: ChemicalkineticsPosted: Tuesday, November 16, 2004Iraq was not a land of happiness before the US overthrew Saddam.That is probably the most outrageous footage he showed. Seriously outraged and a flat out lie. For those who wonder why I called Moore a liar? This is by far the best reason. Do you know more Iraqis died bec
I think Saddam could have been taken with far fewer American lives being lost and less civilian bloodshed through diplomatic/military means. I'm not talking about the sanctions either. The time for sanctions was passed, it was an idea that worked some but cost much more. A different type of diplomacy was needed, one where Saddam removed not by brute force but by at
I didn't vote for Bush. My reasons are well documented. I support my President. I want him to do well; I want him to show valiant leadership. I want him to bring the country closer together. I want him to see the errors in his ways and correct them. I want him to use his strengths to propel this country forward. My grand vision and his are not that different.
I don't believe it is. Do you honestly think we should have left the sanctions in place and Saddam in power? The oil sanctions were killing 5000-6000 children a month due to starvation from the sanctions. A. Prove that the sanctions were the cause of 5000 - 6000 childhood deaths a year. Populat
Nothing like "good humor" to keep things lite.
If I believe in one thing and try to sell you an opposite concept. I am lying. A. No you are not lying. B. That's not what I'm saying is going on in this scenerio. If you say "I love chocolate ice cream." Then I watch you order Vanilla ice cream after dinner for weeks at a time.
Reply By: ChemicalkineticsPosted: Tuesday, November 16, 20045. The critic picked on the really unimportant points in an attempt to discredit everything Moore says. I've lied on occasion in my life, most of us have, but that doesn't mean I can't speak the truth.Didn't I point out an important point? If Moore implies that Iraq War
I watched Fahrenheit 9/11 last night online. I thought the film was interesting, and I've been working on a blog about the Bush Dynasty, especially their finances. Most of what Moore talked about in that regard I have found else where on the web. I don't think there is much argument about the fact that the Bush family is into Oil, and you can't be in the O
I totally agree with you, and I think that we can count the Democrats and Republicans out of moving toward the center, in fact I think the only way this will ever come to fruition is if a third party evolves, ala the Patriot party with a filthy rich leader like Perot that has all the money in the world to run against the two mainstream parties. We had our chance at it with Perot, I'm just praying that someone else comes along, and realizes we need the
And your a JERk! And BTW unless you were there and saw the weapons, you don't know spit! lol Come on, so your saying the soldiers over there, the arms specialists and the news media are all out to get Bush. If its true then why? But I can't believe that are all against him and fabricating the
Yes it is a fact. I know because I looked it up on the internet, a web site called Janes, heard the media reports during the invasion, and unlike you I am not too closed minded to believe that Bush's administration might have something other than the humanitarian liberation Iraq, on their agenda. If they had better weapons don't you think they'd have used them? You are one of the blind Bush Minions. You've got to start thin
