Vanity Fair reported the other day about the cost of Cindy McCain’s opening night outfit.Cindy McCain’s $300,000 Outfit
But if that wasn’t enough, it is reported that it was paid for with GW’s tax cuts. Tax cuts that McCain wants to keep permanent. No Wonder! Check this out.Bush’s Tax Cuts Pay For Cindy’s Outfit

How prevalent do you believe prejudice is in this nation? We seem to be fragmenting into a …
Them v. Us for political entitlements. Boorstein, a historian of note some years back, said that the American public acts by consensus, v. conflict. Yet all I seem to hear is that "those people" ( whites, blacks, mexicans, asians) get it all , while we get nothing. Everyone seems to want a larger share of [...]
why is it people do not look and see who all the presidential candidates are before they vote?
When people would ask who I was going to vote for I said Bob Barr and they would say who is Bob Barr. If you care about your country take time and search who you could vote for.
What do you think of the remarks by the Judge who asked Miss California her opinon on gay mairrage?
I think the judge was wrong for saying hateful things about the model. If he didn’t want her opinion, then why in the world did he ask her?? People should be free to say their opinion without fear of retaliation. It’s called free-speech, and freedom of religion. I say good for [...]

As a conservative, what do you think President Obama is doing right? All this talk of uniting.
Is there anything that you feel he is doing that is good for our country? Is there anything that you would like to see the republicans in congress compromise on?
Does anyone else find the recent McCain’s ad about Obama not visiting the wounded troops deceiving?
McCain should be ashamed! So much for the straight talking express! This man has the nerve to say Obama found time to go to the gym and not visit the wounded? The pictures of Obama in that gym where taken by the Department of Defense in a gym visiting troops! What a liar this guy [...]
Is Obama really running in violation of US election law?
Barack Obama not legally a US natural-born citizen according to the law in effect betweenDecember 24, 1952 and November 13, 1986. Presidential office requires the person elected to be a natural-born UnitedStates citizen if the child was not born to two US citizen parents. US Law veryclearly stipulates: “If only one parent was a US [...]
Will the candidates in this election take us closer to or further from this advice..?
"I am for doing good to the poor, but I differ in opinion of the means. I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. In my youth I traveled much, and I observed in different countries, that [...]
Have the republican primary wars begun already?
http://www.politicsdaily.com/2009/05/05/sarah-palin-and-mitt-romney-its-war/
Going back some fifty years or so, is there really an ideological difference….
between liberals and conservatives, or is this difference somewhat contrived, and the result of catering to right-wing and left-wing fringe groups, so as to win elections. Do the conservatives and liberals, as originally defined, have the same basic goal – the preservation of Constitutional liberties for all – and a different take on the means [...]
America. The end of an empire?
The US has enjoyed global hegemony, not because of its superior military strength but due to its economic prowess. Now that its tactics of demanding the world buy & sell oil in US Dollars is coming unstuck, & that it’s deflating dollar, once working in its favor, is now discouraging foreign investment in bonds & [...]
Is This Bash Obama month?
I cannot believe some of the racist comments against Sen. Obama when these same people are condemning him for being associated with Rev. Wright – what does that say about the country?Also, to be fair, what about all of Sen. Clinton’s flip/flops and exaggerations of the truth, dirty tricks – and what about her campaign [...]
Is anyone fed up with this whole Tony Blair resigning/Gordon Brown taking the reins story already?
I feel as though this has gone on for years already, and the thought of the next six weeks with the build up to Gordon Brown taking over is unbearable. Please can someone stand in opposition to him, just to make this story – which will dominate the headlines for weeks – a bit [...]
Would you vote for an atheist president? If yes or no, please explain why.
Our personal beliefs, particularly the religious ones, do greatly influence our actions in practically everything, and so I have always wondered if a president who is free from specific beliefs would tend to be more objective and more tolerant to the beliefs of others due to the lack of prejudice coming from her or his [...]
Do you believe in the separation of religion and state? Why? Why Not?
What about the freedom of religion?http://www.au.org/site/PageServer?pagename=issues
"Church-state separation has worked very well in practice. Americans freely support an array of houses of worship and other religious institutions, our nation is religiously diverse and many faiths exist side by side with remarkably little sectarian conflict." – AU.org

If you were Britain’s Prime Minister, what steps would you take to help with this financial crisis, or any other crises that you may be suffering?
I do see a lot of complaints about the way Gordon Brown is running things (or not running things it would seem) so could I have some suggestions? We could forward them to him maybe!

Story of President Obama refusing to accept TARP repayment from banks. True or false?
My case for false.All of the stories about President Obama refusing to except TARP repayment can be tracked back to a op-ed the Wall Street Journal by Stuart Varney. In the story Varney states his opinion is based "on a true first reported by my Fox News colleague Andrew Napolitano." Reading the story that Varney [...]
Is former V.P. Cheney’s criticism of President Obama on bail outs extremely hypocritical?
Cheney said: Cheney said he is concerned the Obama administration is fundamentally "redefining that relationship between government, on the one hand, and the private sector on the other. He also said"I’m one of those people who believes that part of the greatness of the United States is our private sector. "It’s what we do as [...]
Who will Hillary choose for the VP nomination? Certainly someone well versed in the Finances today.
American needs this experienced, intelligent, and strong woman to lead this country out of the mess it is in!!!!!McCain is Bush’s pansy and stood by him even when he said things about his wife. I pride him in how he served his country but for goodness sake, he is no man that could run out [...]
Should the public transport system be brought back under public control?
Since the privatisation of the bus and rail services, we have seen less service for more cost. As well as the disasters at Hatfield, Potters Bar and Paddington.
In light of the subsidies given to these companies Is it now not time to bring the services back to the public sector?

How would you have handled the GM Chrysler situation if you were President?
GM and Chysler did not meet some of the government’s key requirements for keeping its current loans. They also did not produce long term viability plan that they were required to produce. GM wants $16.6 billion more after failing to reach requirement as directed when the received the first $13 billion. Chrysler wanted $5 billion [...]
Will same people that criticized bailouts criticize Obama for denying more bailout for auto makers?
President Obama is rejecting requests for almost $22 billion taxpayer bailout money for General Motors Corp. and Chrysler. the President says neither GM nor Chrysler submitted acceptable plans to receive more bailout money and they failed to reach key requirement.
How will the people that are against bailouts but hate President Obama spin it to make [...]
Laid off Wall Streeters got hired today to be the new Fed regulators in Washington D.C, ..good news?

It was reported on the show that a "Recruitment Fair" was held in Manhattan by the Federal Government to hire all the people who are going to be needed to provide [...]
Will the Dems move to socialism cause a rash of secessions when the economy collapses?
Capitalism is the reason for prosperity in the United States. Moving to socialism will reduce us to mediocrity or worse. Secession may be the only way to salvage what has made us great up until now. What are your thoughts?

Christian Nation and Torture. Are these two ideas in conflict?
My point is not to say that we are a Christian Nation because I don’t believe that to be the case. Some of the same people who proclaim the USA to be a Christian Nation are now also defending the Bush administration torture practices. Just curious what others think about this. Is it Christian to [...]
Do you think people that are openly gay should serve in the military?
I would not have cared as long as they could fight, shoot straight and shoot at the right people. If they pulled me out of the fire I would have even sat around the fire held hands and sang show tunes with them.
Do you think George Bush will try to pretend he didn’t do something he did like O.J. Simpson did ?
While he is scrambling to create diversions for his failed presidency placing blame on everyone else for his own ineptness. O. J. in his own mind believes someone else killed Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman. The entire country knows that there was a terrible miscarriage of justice in each case. There was a civil [...]

Follow up on firearms Q, what about the Fairness Doctrine?
This is without a doubt an attack on our first amendment rights. Pornography, violent movies and video games , liberal media,hate groups are protected but not conservative radio?
Obama made a comment about Sean Hannity which basically said that Hannity was to blame for Obama’s
negitive going up, but that Hannity would not have the guts to say it to Obama’s face. Well last night on Hannity and Combs Hannity challenged Obama to come on the show to face tough question and for Hannity to say to Obama’s face what he has said on the radio and TV. Does anyone [...]
Was George W the worst American president in history?
Everywhere I look, I see another comment on Bush being the worst president we’ve ever had. I’ve even heard die hard Conservative Republicans complain that he was not the best one we ever had to elect. Come on people, surely Nixon has to be up there on the worst presidents list.
If Hillary back’s Obama it will be EIGHT years before she can run again if he wins DON’T THINK SO.
She may look like she is showing support but I bet she is hoping the Obama does not win, then she can run in four years and the Clintons still retain their power in the party. If Obama wins the Clintons are thru because their power base will be gone. I personally don’t see her [...]
Why does Gen. Colin Powell’s endorsement of Obama bother Republicans much more than those of others?
Why does former Secretary of State, Gen. Colin Powell’s endorsement of Democratic Senator Barack Obama anger Republicans so much, when there were so many other endorsements given to Sen. Barack Obama by prominent white Republicans in the weeks prior to Powell’s endorsement and absolutely nothing was said about it, not even a whisper? Does the [...]
What does yesterday’s election mean in practical terms?
I keep hearing that the Democratic party is now "stronger" – Then I also hear that it really doesn’t mean much because we are STILL in a divided US, where the republican party has just as much influence. "Congress," "The House," "Senate" are like meaningless words to me. I’d like to know in simple terms, [...]

what’s the name of the song in the former youtube vid "the imf a bedtime story" maybe lochli23 (ex-user) can answer the question
the vid has been deleted from youtube. i’ve never found it from there on. i would love to see the video it’s self. but i’d be content if i knew the name of the artist in the "background"
Since no one else will ask the question , are you sickened at the sight of those little children
singing to and for Obama. These were songs of praise. When these children are older they will need counseling. I’ve only ever seen this in dictatorships.
Will life go on? Doesn’t look like it.
