Exit polls clearly indicated in those states that the reason for the higher turnout were the amendments. No the exits polls stated "Moral Values". IMO, unlike what democrats who are trying to make it sound like they lost because of Gay rights and Religious issues, the regular Joe was more motivated to

If Congress knew what they know today, Bush would never have got the War resolution passed If Congress in the late 1930s would have know about Perial Harbor or Hitler’s Death camps, would they have prevented the military build up that Roosevelt requested so hard? If Congress had known what can

I never knew that charity = government welfare. If you deduct the amount that you give to charity, from the amount you pay in taxes, it is. The difference is that you get the choice of where your money goes, instead of the Government. Whether you give to charity or not, your money will ultimat

I get my info from having to pay tax on a lousy $50K inheritance. Not to be insensitive, but how much free money did you get? That inheritance is income, and income is to be taxed. If I had a choice of you paying tax on free income or me having my taxes raised. I'm going to be a just as greedy as you

1. Income Tax is Incoming money from somewhere and it has been placed into you bank account or wallet. When anyone receives money from an estate it is income. You may not like it, but it is true. 2. If the Government does not get the money from this tax, they will get it from another tax. I would rather be taxed from money that I did not earn (all though my mom has made me feel like I have earned it), then from the money I did earn with m

Look at the RPG vulnerability of the M113, take a ride in one, then do the same in a Stryker. I'm not comparing the Stryker to a M113 rolling coffin, a vehicle that has been almost completely removed from the Army inventory. The M113 chassis is only used in

I think your LTC Kurilla is padding his numbers. The ARMY Times April 11, 2005 has published the official numbers: Report cites concerns from 1st combat tour by Mathew Cox Out of the 345 documented hostile acts against Stryker vehicles and their crews in Iraq to date, there have been 17 deaths. These attack have resulted in 28 "vehicle losses". _________

Why is it that no one called for pulling the plug back then? Ohh, but even at that time Clinton took flax for supporting it too, mostly from the Anti-Global wacko left and Isolationist right (yes, they do exist dabe).

I will here the incoming rounds for this one..... I'm a free trader. I think that an economically healthy Mexico and Allies is the best think there is.

Thursday, March 31, 2005 Associated Press NEW YORK — Jane Fonda says her 1972 visit to a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft gun site, an incident that brought her the nickname "Hanoi Jane," was a "betrayal" of American forces and of the "country that gave me privilege." "The image of Jane Fonda, 'Barbarella,' Henry Fonda's daughter ... sitting on an enemy aircraft gun was a betrayal ... the largest lapse of judgment that I can e

It's reported recently that the Abrams tank, the multi million dollar one, most armored and capable in the field, is proving very stoppable in Iraq. Yes it maybe stoppable, but there has not been one crew member killed yet. That’s the true mantel of a tank. No tank is unstoppable. Tracks can be blown

Iraq repeatedly broke their peace treaty with the UN and the "US" (we are the primary signature on the document) from the 1991 Gulf War. That is the only authorization we needed to invade. A peace treaty is not worth the paper it is on, if knowone follows or enforces it. Ask the French and British what happens if peace treates are not enforced. WMD or not, the invasion had only been delayed far

I had seen this one coming years ago. Personally I felt lucky to never be assigned to one of these vehicles. The idea of driving to war in a Plastic tank is not too appealing to me. While the field testing for speed, movement and C&C was excellent when conducted at the National training center in CA. The real protection of the crew has always been suspect. The system was build to be light enough to be carried in mass by aircraft and fast i

The rate of underemployed was much lower when Bush took office. But not lower then the 35 year or 12 year average. Again your comparing unemployment (Ooops, now its underemployment) rates against the best year in 35 years and from a date before 911/Enron/CityCorp/Tech bust. That makes it your opinion
