Where is Mark Foley? Why is he not in Jail? He solicited underage children for fornication. Why has he not been charged? Why is he permitted to roam free after his 30 days in Rehab? Is there a different standard for child predators if they are from Congress? If he were on Dateline NBC he would have been arrested. Please let us know and take action, the American People are watching.

You came up with a lame, rediculous, uninformed, and flat wrong argument and then we were the "stooopid" ones for not agreeing with you. Now your whining that were weren't tolerant of your insults. Boo hoooooo.

Sometimes it's better to keep your mouth shut and have people suspect your "stooopid" than open it and remove all doubt.

what was that quote by Abraham Lincoln?

"You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time."

Mr. Bush and his cronys had forgotten about that wise little saying. They played upon the 9-11 fear card for everything it was worth and now it has come back to bite them.

To be publically (and politically) humbled is poor, but just recompense for what they have brought on America and the poor peoples of Iraq. In addition the dramatic increase in the threat of terrorism that the whole world now faces.

In addition to the wise quotation by Lincoln....there is another equally wise one that comes to mind. "Nobody gets away with anything". Mr. Bush is politically reaping what he has sowed, but American will have to pay the price tag for it.

For all of you crazies out there.

The goal is this:

BALANCE OF POWER!!! CHECKS AND BALANCES!!

Absolute power corrupts absolutely. I will do everything in my power as an american to make sure that we never again have one party controlling all three branches of Gov't. If the Dems win both houses, I will be the biggest campaigner for a repub Pres.

This last 6 years has been CRAZY!!

THAT IS THE ONLY WAY THAT WE WILL EVER ACHIEVE A BIPARTISIAN AGENDA.

Are you seriously complaining that Iraqis are attacking U.S. troops in Iraq? Of course they are. We invaded their country, killed almost a million of their men, women and children, and rammed a major oil company down their throat.
Do you think if they invaded the U.S. we wouldn't attack them? The real question is did we have any business in Iraq, and the answer is yes, oil business.

When the U.S. first went into Iraq, I was about 12 years old. My dad was a firm believer in President Bush, and so was I. I was glad we were going in and getting rid of Hussein. Now, I'm a bit older, wiser, and more intelligent. I don't like Bush anymore. I personally think he's a rambling idiot and I can't wait until 2008 to get his butt out of the White House. He's gotten everything about messed up as it possibly can be. We need some Democrats here. Anyway, while I acknowledge the need for no more terrorism, I feel that we, as a society, have gone about the whole thing extremely wrong. I've gotten sick of all the soldiers dying! If I could vote, I know I would most likely vote Democrat because, I'm hoping that they will fix the mess we're in as best they can, though it will take a lot of work! Of course, I'm only a high school freshman, so I might not be entirely correct on everything I know, but that's my POV. Thanks for reading! Hilary in 2008!

frankly6,

Iraq people attack U.S everyday, we have troops in Iraq, we have FOBs(You may not know what that is) that get attacked everyday which is considered a United States base which get hit by IEDs and is bombed almost everyday, my facts come from the source, not CNN, people who are there. Not people who record it, people who fight it. Don't tell me they don't attack us, if they had the *** we had and could get to the US, don't you think they'd do the same on our land? hell yes. Its a simple fact of hate.

that wasnt even my point, I never said it had a connection with 9/11. I used it as an example, and Osoma hasn't been found, does that mean he doesn't exist? no. OKAY THEN, and Saddam isn' the only man who hated the United States, everyday in Iraq little kids will run up to my battle buddy and throw rocks at him based on their parents say. Its not me saying 9/11 connected to it, its not WMD, which could exist in Iraq, alright? okay. I guess I should of put it in better terms.

Wow, voting for the Iraq war may have been the best choice Democrats have made in decades!

It gave the Republicans the rope they needed to hang themselves.
