Think you can do better?

I've got a nice scar on the left side of my face, starting from the left corner of my mouth and following the curvature of my chin for several inches. It's from plastic surgery I had done years ago. I used to train and show horses in various rodeos across the country. I was about 12, training a...

Personally I think it should be taken seriously. Why is it acceptable to even consider that someone would shoot our President? Then to ask that bets be placed? I just don't think it's something to joke about, and I don't think the Holocaust is either.

I honestly think this was a poor choice for a topic, let alone a poll. What kind of person jokes about shooting anyone? Let alone the President of the United States? Place your bets...give me a break.

I think this all goes back to the founding principles our country was built upon. Like-minded individuals came here to start a new life, one that was free to the people and allowed them certain unalienable rights that they were not given back in England. Democracy seemed to fit the bill because...

I'm curious as to how you'd go about it? If we didn't invade Afgan to capture Al Queda and their leadership, how would we have? Those "mistakes" are subjective.

You say he's bad at running the country, but we're not that much worse off than before. Sure we've got a much larger deficit now, but we would have had that reguardless who was president. The American people demanded action after 9/11, had Gore been president he would have received the same...

Haha. Your welcome. No arguing intended, just a good old discussion on politics. I think too many people get wrapped up in being "right" or "winning". That's not what it is about. It's about seeing things from a different light, getting another point of view, and possibly learning something...

I agree with you. If people really were voting mainly on issues such as gay marriage, abortion, etc and ignoring the immense conflict at hand then they need to reconsider voting in the first place. The problem is all of these issues are lumped together, the way the bipartisian government works...

Apparently from the links you supplied earlier about voter motivation, the Iraq ordeal isn't a main concern for them. They voted for Bush based on numerous other issues that are directly related to the issues at home. Whatever the reason Bush had for going over to Iraq, good or bad, America...

I think the big deal is that he is the leader of the most powerful country in the world. He is held to higher standards than anyone else. Whether that is fair or not remains to be determined, but he does have expectations placed upon him that no one else does. A white lie from you or me doesn't...

Minimum wage hasn't changed in years, at least not in Texas. When it does change, it goes up. I'm not following. After looking it over, I see what they are saying. It's not that minimum wage has decreased, but that costs have risen and minimum wage isn't keeping up. It's been like that since...

If you don't have anything to add to this conversation, why are you posting here? And people wonder why they get called trollers or spammers.

I agree, his interests do lie in the homeland. I think he's more than capable of handling both sitations at once. Just because he is running the country and protecting the citizens doesn't mean he can't take part in global issues as well. If anyone has the resources to do it, it is the United...

Again, thank you for the links. Perhaps they had documented proof that Iraq had links to Al Queda. Perhaps they didn't. I don't think we'll ever know. But that doesn't automatically mean we were lied to. Information and sources showing links could very well exist. I promise you that everything...

Who else is going to do it?

Fair enough, but where's the documentation, quotes, or actions that would lead people to believe this? We were told Osama was responsible, Osama himself took responsibility, yet 70% of America belives it was Hussein? I have a hard time believing that. I haven't personally seen or heard anything...

Again, thanks for the quotes. I'd like to see what dates those were taken. Looking for evidence doesn't mean we didn't find any, or that it become the sole reason we invaded Iraq. As well, just because Bush believed they had connections, doesn't mean it was the sole basis for the attack itself...

Thanks for the links, and the numbers. I find it interesting that so many people voted on moral issues. That wasn't the case for myself and many of the people I am associated with here in Texas. But to each his own. However, I did notice that in the percentages that Burner posted 19% noted...

I didn't catch this before. Care to provide some information and supportive documentation?
