12 AnswersElections1 decade agoHow can we as Republican keep Blaming Democrats?
How can we blame Democrats for Illegal immigration when it is Republicans that keep introducing bills to open our borders.
Senator Kay Baily Hutchison from Texas is the latest in a long line of Republicans opening our borders, by now introducing into the 'Budget' Bill a gutting of the 'Secure Borders Act'.
I am disgusted and will not vote for anyone who approved this bill. even if that means I have to vote Dem.
9 AnswersGovernment1 decade agoDoes the Pledge of Allegiance hold Ideals we should strive to achieve?
I recently asked if Americans still believed in the Pledge of Allegiance. Many said they did at one time, others say no outright. Others say they would like to.
So I ask should we strive to uphold the ideals of the pledge, or is it an antiquated idea that should be laid to rest?
3 AnswersOther - Politics & Government1 decade agoAmericans, do you believe in the Pledge of Allegiance?
We as Americans are more divided today then we have been in many years. You can blame whomever you want, I am not interested in who is the divider.
I just want to know if we can still agree to pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God(remove if you must), indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

If you are driving down the interstate and a highway sign says that it is 257 miles to San Francisco. How do they measure this distance when there are a dozen different ways to get to SF, some shorter, some longer? Is it an average? And to where are they measuring? To the city limit or to the center of the city or maybe it is to the first exit off the highway?
1 AnswerOther - Destinations1 decade agoIs there really any difference between different brands of gasoline?
With all the different brands of gasoline vying for our business, each stating there brand is the best and using dubious proclamations to convince us these statements are true. Such as 'Every car of NASCAR uses our gas therefore it must be best', (we didn't pay them anything to use our gas! no really! not a penny!). Is Gas, Gas? Should you just find the lowest price and go with that? Or do the various additives make any real difference in your vehicle performance?
