  • Did You see Senator McCain on Saturday Night Live ?

    He said some pretty crazy crap, all while keeping a straight face!

    It was stuff he probably would love to say for real,..at least one part, about letting the Democratic race go on, past the convention .

  • Any Iowa, Nebraska or Viginia Voters want to Share their Feelings Now ?

    In light of the recent exposure of Obama's Pastor's sermons and beliefs, are any of you idealistic folks regretting your primary Vote?

    If Obama denounced his minister today, and fired him from his campaign, would you believe he was renouncing him for real?, or just in the name of political expediency ?

  • Did anyone else see Hillary on Letterman's show last night ?

    If not, you missed her at her pleasant and witty best !

    I think Dave likes her, although he never openly backs any politician, he has had a good relationship with both Clinton's, and they always shine on his show !

    I hope some Hillary-haters will watch the segment on CBS or Dave's web site >http://www.cbs.com/latenight/lateshow/

  • Pakistan ! Does anyone care what's happening there ?

    In recent weeks, we've seen a lot of headlines about what problems Musharif is having at home, and some discussion on TV of what will happen to the Nukes, if Musharif loses power.

    These are all important issues, he is our main ally in the region, (whether willingly or not), and we need his help with eliminating the terrorist camps near the Afghani border, But, I just found out yesterday, what terrible things are happening in those tribal areas, formerly known as Warizistan,..but now called Talibanistan, because the Taliban are taking over more villages and turf every day,are so entrenched, that the Paki' army has signed a treaty with them, so they can keep some troops on the border, to placate the Americans.

    We can't violate Pakistani soveriegnity by going into that area to root out the terrorist, but can we continue to let Taliban and Al Queda mount attacks on Afghanistan, from a safe haven in the Tribal regions. Check: http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1686...

  • What is up with the Palestinians Now?

    What I mean is, now, in the absence of Jewish attacks, Fatah and Hamas are killing each other again?

    Do any Palestinians have a clue about the many benefits of Peace, or are they so inured in violence, that they don't know anything but death and destruction ?

    Is martyrdom their highest calling ?

  • Why are childhood allergies, juvenile diabetes, and asthma so common today.?

    "Back in the Day", (1950's & 60's), when I was in school, we would have been appalled if some kid had said they were allergic to peanut butter. One of my brothers had asthma, and he was the only one I ever knew in 12 years of school. Out of a student body of about 500, we had one girl who had diabetes, and her parents both had it. So, my question is: why are so many allergies, autism, diabetes, so common in today's grade school kids?

    Obesity is said to be one cause of the diabetes increase, and I understand that TV, Video games, and computers are big contributors to the obesity plague, but what's up with the rise in all these other problems ?

    Measles, Mumps, and Mono', we're pretty much a given back then, all kids had them, and sometimes a lot of us had them at once, but I think we were much healthier in general than today's kids are, So,..What's up ?

  • What would North America be like now, had the European colonist had dealt fairly with the "Indians" they met ?

    The Iroquois, and others, had a democratic system, laws, trade agreements, and other social advancements that worked fine to keep the peace among regional tribes.

    The natives in Mexico had an ancient civilization, which the Spanish destroyed. What might have happened if they hadn't killed the leaders, and enslaved the populace?

  • Why do so many people believe all these horrible things about Hillary ?

    I see all these wild statements on Y/A! Things like:

    "She's a crook"

    "She's a Socialist"

    "She's pro-war",or, "she's anti-war"

    Now really folks, don't you think that after all the millions of our dollars spent investigating Bill & Hill in the 90's, that we know Everything there is to know about their backgrounds, and history ?

    Also, since the bad old days of the Clinton Administration, Hillary has been elected twice to the Senate, from New York State ! One of the most politically savvy sections of the country. A place where the politics of personal destruction was born ! I'm sure some Republican opponent would have dug-up any new skeletons she may have gathered to her closet, during these two elections.

    A lot of the negativity about her candidacy seems to come from other women,..the one's you would expect to be thrilled that we have the first seriously qualified woman candidate for our highest office. That really surprises me?

    So what's Up?, is this just fear of change?

  • Why so many Ignorant people expose their stupidity on Yahoo Answers.?

    I Really like this forum, and have found so many interesting and informed people on here, from all points on the political compass.

    But,...Yes, BUT, Why are the most prolific posters, among the most ignorant and illiterate scum of our nation?

    Isn't there a Jerry Springer Forum where these folks can go babble among themselves?

    There are so many good minds available here, and so many honest, and thought-provoking questions, why must those folks be plagued by all the vitriolic, inflamatory, and just plain stupid questions posed by the idiots??

    If I felt that Any of these uninformed people would potentially learn anything with their empty intorogatives, I wouldn't be so quick to condemn them, but you can easily see that they have no intention of learning, or sharing, anything of merit, So, Why are they here ?

    Hey Yahoo Management! May we have an advanced Q&A forum, where you have to have so many "Best Answers" to participate? Or maybe a number of "Starred" questions ?
