i whole-heartedly agree

Here's a political question, do you guys think Bush should pull out of Iraq? I am really interested in what people think about this.

Well through politics and elections you have state and federal governments(Or in Europe you guys just have one government? Help me out, I'm not familiar with that) that interact with other governments around the world and make treaties and wars and make decisions for the people. I see this as making the world work. I cant imagine life without it, everyone would be so lost. As much as people say they're anti-establishment and anti-government, without that order I do not believe people could function.

no. we cant leave the iraqi government/military to fend for themselves until they have proven that they are ready, willing, and able to do it alone. And with Saddam Hussein sentenced to be hanged, there will definitely a strong uprising of his supporters very soon, meaning attacks, suicides bombers, car bombs, etc.

thats pretty much the jist of it actually.

[MERIT] 11-08-2006 11:56 AM

In Bush's post-election press conference today, he announced that Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld will be stepping down, and will most likely be replaced by formed CIA Director Robert Gates. And the Montana Senate race went to the democrats, leaving Virginia as the deciding factor in which party will get control of the Senate (democrats already own the House).

DearJenny 11-08-2006 12:14 PM

No more affirmative action in Michigan! Hurrah!

And unfornuately nobody liked the mourning doves proposal so there will be no dove season. :(
They get to live another day....for now.

[MERIT] 11-08-2006 02:00 PM

Apparently the democrats have actually won VA, but since it was only by less than 7,000 votes (less than 1%), there is a mandatory recount which wont take place until towards the end of November. And it looks like stem-cell research has passed in MO by 51-49. I hope to god we're not turning into a blue state.

does MO mean Missouri? And if that's the case, what does that mean for the legality of stem-cell research? Is it legal in the country as a whole and different states choose to declare it illegal, is it the other way around, or is the law entirely determined by the individual states?

Yes, its Missouri. The federal government says you can do it only if your state allows it.

DontRunMeOver 11-08-2006 02:16 PM

Oh, ok. I can see that setup as encouraging more conservative and religious states (along with all of the others) to go towards stem-cell research, as medicine companies will probably prefer to base themselves in the states which allow stem-cell research.

[MERIT] 11-08-2006 02:18 PM

But its difficult because every political faction and interest group has a different definition of "stem-cell research," varying from doing tests to cure mice of the common cold, to full on human cloning. Thats why the issue is so confusing to many voters.

DontRunMeOver 11-08-2006 02:21 PM

Do you know what it is that actually passed then? I mean, what type of stem-cell research were they meant to be voting on?

Honestly, I have no idea. I assume its stuff like harvesting stem cells from umbicle cords and dead babies to try to cure lukemia (and stuff of that nature).

Right now stem cell research that is allowed uses neurons in the nose that can regenerate themselves.
Cloning (be it for advancements in stem cell, genetic, or reproductive research) is not allowed.

When it comes t stem cells though and abortion, it looks like our nation is heading towards making both legalized. (I love democrats)

TheBig3 11-08-2006 03:50 PM

Oojay, I hope you didn't mean the Democrats will be ourr downfall seriously.

Between their regained control of congress and Rumsfeld stepping down, we're set to go in a direction that isn't complete ****.

I seriously doubt that abortion will ever become legal in every state, maybe a few liberal ones like massachusettes or california, but the majority of americans oppose it.

with the advances america has made in the fertility field every state definitely won't be pro - life.

I agree that having a bi-partisan Congress (if the Republicans can maybe, possibly, not likely keep control of the senate) would most likely be better for the nation as a whole, but with Pelosi as the House Speaker (aka the public face of the US Congress), we will definitely have some problems .

Raine 11-08-2006 04:06 PM

With the senate race still up for grabs, do you guys think hilary has a shot at the presidency?

MURDER JUNKIE 11-08-2006 04:12 PM

Less a scandal, it's a lock

The American people want the opposite of Bush

It is a no brainer that the next US president will be a Democrat, it is needed to solidify the economy. Remember how prosperous the economy was when Bill Clinton was president?

If a Republican wins the presidency it will put us into a recession

FACT!!!

I don't think it will go into regression. I mean right now the economy is on the rise. I think it won't be as good as in the 90s for a while no matter whos in office.

I dunno. Rick Santorum never does well with polls but rumor has it, he's gonna try and run for president. My guess is the same people that bush into office will vote for him.
I personally think that if Hilary wins she'll most likely win. but I imagine she'll still have to fight for every vote.

hhhhhhhhahahhahahahaha! oh my gosh, wow. I think the word raine was looking for it "if she runs" which she WONT because even though there's more equality, I do not think the democrats would nominate a woman for president just yet.
