Good points Jythier, wish I had thought about using the homebirth point myself!

Reply to Governor Palin is proof the left is wrong in Politics PolMach Forums

[quote]The chance to make history is more important than putting the best they have forward.[/quote] I agree with most of what you said, but I think you were a little off the mark on this one. In my view, Obama has more experience than Clinton. I don't feel either one has enough experience to be at the top of the ticket, but nonetheless, Obama has more experience than Clinton. Yes Clinton was a U.S. Senator a little longer than Obama

Reply to The U. S. should provide reparations for all Negro slaves in US Domestic PolMach Forums

I agree with the point of the article, but I have two questions. Did America provide any military support to Liberia? Were we bound to provide any support once the reparations were paid?

Reply to Man saves the environment in The Environment PolMach Forums

The communists did say that they destroy from within, so I don't view this article as conspiracy theory. Anybody ever notice how Al Gore makes so much money off the environmentalist movement? His house has a larger carbon foot-print than every house on my block combined, even after he made improvements to make it more green. It is fine that Gore makes money off of this, that is Capitolism at it's finest. The unfortunate thing is, that he is now and un-witting pawn to

[quote]Does that give you the right to tell someone else what to do with their body?[/quote] No. However, the arguement raised by myself and Lynn is that the child (baby, fetus, whatever you want to call it) is not the mother's body, but a different person. As a man myself, I used to have your view on abortion. Education and life experience has changed my views. Yes education is important, but my arguement here is that abortion is legalised murder. I can

Reply to ID's Analysis of the Obama Speech in Democrat PolMach Forums

I want to add, I'm not planning on milking the system. I just started getting checks one month ago, and just started school in an IT program a few days ago. More than likely, I will no longer be able to recieve assistance in the form of unemployment. That's fine by me, even if I can't find a job on my own soon, my school will help me find one.

Reply to ID's Analysis of the Obama Speech in Democrat PolMach Forums

Okay Asmodeon. We do have a welfare system in place that works exactly the way you describe, minus the morning chores thing. I know, I'm currently unemployed and am part of that system. We have a system in place for those that are unable to work as well, it's called social security. Also, those who are currently unable to work, but used to be able to work had access to purchase very affordable disability insurance. There are also many lawyers who specialise in

Reply to McCain outlines same old failed policies in Democrat PolMach Forums

[quote]Conservatives and McCain supporters around here generally don't like giving to the poor much from what I've read,[/quote] I'm unemployed and am drawing checks. The unemployment website has a statement up about how Bush (a conservative) extended the legal amount of time people can draw unemployment. I hate needing this help, but for the moment I do. Thank God a conservative was looking out for me during this dark period in my life. As much as Bush and man

Dems on Choice in US Domestic PolMach Forums

Since the surprise anouncement in Dayton, Ohio that Sarah Palin will be the Republican Vice Presidential Candidate the feminist movement has been hysterically attacking her. Before I go on, I would like to exclaim that I am so happy that I had the opportunity to attend the Dayton rally, and witness history. Back to the point, the single most common reason feminists have claimed women should not vote for the McCain/Palin ticket is that Palin is extremely Pro-Life. Wow!&nbsp

Reply to Obama - I have more Experience in Democrat PolMach Forums

[quote]Not even 24 hours after he made a VERY presidential decision, its being questioned by his own party.[/quote] Questions are part of it. I thought you libs were claiming that she hasn't been questioned enough. The fact is, Republicans like Palin even better than McCain. This wasn't a rash decision. It was a carefully crafted strategic move, a bit of a gamble, but a good move none the less. A pick like Lieberman would have shunned his conservative bas

Reply to 60 Senate Seats in Sight? in Democrat PolMach Forums

Of course the lead Dems are acting as if this is a possibility. They have to portray the image that it's possible to the voting public, or their voters won't be as inspired to go out to vote. As a proud moderate conservative, I hope this doesn't happen. While I was sorely dissapointed by the lack of leadership when my party had the majority years ago, I'm not willing to give up the good fight. The fact is, I was disappointed with my party because they acted too liberal

Reply to No Brotherly Love Seen Here in Politics PolMach Forums

I first heard about this about a week and a half ago. I started leaving statements about it in my comments back to liberal bloggers, but no Dems have addressed this issue. George lives on less than a dollar a month. Geez, I'm un-employed and poorer than snot, but even I could afford to send the guy five bucks a month if he were my brother. Seriously, such a small thing as that could increase George's standard of living five-fold.

Reply to McCain outlines same old failed policies in Democrat PolMach Forums

[quote]McCain, who votes with Bush 90 percent of the time,[/quote][ Obama quoted this fact saying that we can't take a 10% chance that things are going to change. The fact is that Obama has voted in line with the do-nothing Democratice party leaders in Washington 97% of the time. Democrats have had a majority in both Congress and Senate for the last few years and have accomplished little more than declaring Natio

Reply to Palin the Impaling Gladiator? in Republican PolMach Forums

All the attacks on Palin are outstanding! Journalists saying things like, "How can she be V.P. and the mother of 5 at the same time?" is helping the Republican camaign so much. We also get the benefit of femenist groups crying about how women shouldn't vote Republican because Palin is so Pro-Life. The only legitimate scandal critics can lord over Palin's head is trooper-gate. And quite honestly, who thinks b
