    Hillary as well as Bill are special intrests groupies who are far removed from the concerns of common Americans. Any initiative or legislation is subject to the following deliberations; [1] How acceptable is it to our special-intrest constituents (who override the electorates) ? and [2] How will this effect our showtime image? Everything which has been pushed down our throats thus far---with much more to come with these status qo policy warmongering makers---is all but in the intrest of the American people. Those almost four-thousand young men who have died in Iraq, for example, have grievingly done so at the whims of those who serve alien ideologies with foreign political agendas. The old Sacrifice Fly, and our youg men are at the bat. But what can we say, Americans when you can't speak about the unspeakable. Just keep on saying, "Their out there dying for America yall".

    With reference to??? We Will Work Together??? By Ron Moreau and Zahid Hussain
    There is no other chance left by the PPPP, PML (N) and Asfand Khan,s Awamy party and Musharraf to work together for the solution of country???s problems mainly comprising of security, peace and welfare of the people and delivery of justice.

    The emerging two biggest parties have been in power in the past twice but were dismissed on financial charges and after their dismissal there was no strong public resentment. This time they have polled the vote of the general resentment against 8 years rule of bad governance of Msharraf and sympathy of deaths and boycott of others.

    In 1970 under the similar circumstances General Agha Muhammad Yahya Khan (later declared usurper) conducted fairer election then the present election of 2008 because he did not has his own political party in the field but at the end he started post poll rigging and deprive the elected representatives to rule the country, with the result Pakistan lost its largest part East Pakistan now Bangladesh).

    The new Chief of Army Staff is sincerely withdrawing army personnel???s from civil departments by giving the indication that the army shall no more take part in any politics; that is a healthy sign in our political field.

    It was the lawyer???s movement and the Judges steadfastness and particularly justified stand of Iftikhar Mohammad Choudhry (CJ) and of Pakistan Bar Association???s most caliber presidents Itizaz Ahsan, Munir A Malik and Justice (retired) Tariq Khan and Mr Kurd who led the campaign for the rule of law. The whole lawyer???s community with support of general public is determined to restore the deposed judges not for the sake of their salaries but for the noble cause of the Rule of Law. This is writing on the walls, the political leaders should read it.

    Mr Zakaria has ritten very good article where by he has remembered President Bush to abide by his own commitments about democracy. Only democratic forces can bring peace in the region musharraf has totally failed to contol terrorism rather during his period it has increased many folds.Now Musharraf is a dead horse he can deliver neither any good to Pakistan or America. If Musharraf is promoted any further it would be deemed by the people of Pakistan a post election rigging.

    While the canine world may have been shocked and awed by Uno's unprecedented win at he Westminster dog show, I was equally repulsed by the "Full Monty" camera shot on page 63 of the Feb 25 2008 issue. Was this the most flattering pose the photographer was able to obtain?

    To look at what is happening today just look into the past history. We will always be fighting evil. History tells the truth. One does not need to listen to the news or watch television our history books will reveal the truth that will set us free. So turn off the tv and the news and read and then one will know what is facing America today. Read the constitution it is the citizens law. Our fore fathers fought for it. Thomas Paine An army of principles can penetrate where an army of soldiers cannot.
    And then as an American citizen given to us by the constituton you will know the truth. Read the constitution.

    Do voters really believe Hilary will make Universal Health Care a reality?...Those who do are living in a fool's paradise...Bill Clinton made the same promises 16 years ago...just as passionately..In 16 years it will be Chelsea's turn. My grandmother often said a faithful promise is a comfort to a fool.

    Girls do better in school than boys, because all schools are run by women. Has anyone actually analysed the discrimination that boys suffer in school? Maybe that is why they retaliate in kind when they are adults.

    During the Nevaada debate,involving Edwards,Clinton,and Obama,Mr.Edwards and Mrs Clinton admitted to
    voting erroneously on two bills involving financial policy. Mr Edwards said that he was sorry about his vote and would try to make it right....
    Mrs Clinton said that although her vote was wrong,she was relieved that the bills had not become law...Wheww! Mrs Clinton and Mr Edwards are quick snappy responders to debate questions.
    The moderators loved them,and seemed to miss the point that Clinton and Edwards voted wrong
    more often than Mr Obama.
    Mr Obama,more thoughtful and deliberate than his opponents said that he voted against the bills because
    they did not serve the best interests of the American people. That decision indicates that he at least read about what he was voting on..

    Mariepower, et al ~ What's all the stuff about religion? Why doesn't Huckabee talk truthfully about religion in America as did Romney? Huckabee's religion, whatever it is, does not agree with Romney's discussion of his beliefs about religion in America. For all practical purposes, Huckabee has no "religion". I live in the Bible Belt. I've discussed this with MANY Southern Baptists. Any church you choose to attend, something different will be taught. If someone doesn't like what one minister is teaching, just change churches and preachers. There's no agreement on much of anything. I've asked Southern Baptist preachers poignant questions such as, "Tell me, what is 'God', describe "God". They can't. "It" is some kind of mysterious power that we just don't understand. That's pretty strange. The Bible continuously personifies God by using the terms "He", "Him", "We", or "their image". It doesn't take a Ph.D. to figure it out. I guess a person can either think for her/himself or whatever.

    But what does all this have to do with the skills needed to help dig our nation out? Absolutely nothing. We need to get serious! I believe Mr. Romney not only has the skills, but the patriotism and personal commitment to take a serious stab at it. Of all candidates in both parties, he's at the top!

    Much as I duskuje Senatir Clinton and some of her campaign tactics, I do not blieve that she intended in any way to disparage the work of Dr. King or to imply that President John was a more important person in bringing about a more just society. I believe that her intent was to return the debate between herself and Senator Obama to the question of electability. Dr. King did heroic work for all Americans during the 1960s. But it is a fact that, had Barry Goldwater (who believed the civil rights act to be unconstituional) had been President instead of Lyndon Johnson, the struggle for even the first steps toward justice would have been longer and harder. I think this is what Senator Clinton meant. It was what she should have said in the first place.

    Once again Elvis Presley's astounding contribution to popular music music puts Tupelo Mississippi on the World's map,
    Just as Beethoven made Bonn an important destination for music lovers.

    Have only joined as heard that Rove is to be a new "contributor." I am horrified as he refused to honor
    a aubpoena from our own government, for goodness sake. What are you thinking? Not only that, he is
    clearly a sociopath whose ends justify any means and he has lowered the level of political communication
    and manipulation to psychopathic levels. PLEASE RE-CONSIDER....or have you, too, NO SHAME!!??

    Clinton will not win..She has shown herself to have evolved into being part of the problem that people want changed. .Say what you need to get elected. Tell them what group think thinks is best for them..She rides the coat tails of her husbands achievements and popularity but that only goes so far.. Her pro war stance and comments indicate an establisment mentality.. Her husbands comments that the war was not over oil is another sign of how far the Clintons have gone of track.

    Her comments show a serious disconect from the mood of the country.. She has become part of the institutions that need to be changed.
