Are people who attack Palin really sexists?
So many people think she is basically stupid and unqualified to be President, and diss her experience as Mayor and Governor.They mock her on national TV. Some people say she is racist, though she married a Native American. And then there are all those lies about her family. I cannot think of a male that people do all of that with..

6 AnswersGovernment1 decade agoWhy are young Democrats enthused about paying more for their health insurance?
It is my understanding that younger Americans will pay more for health insurance or be forced to buy health insurance to cover the costs of insuring the elderly and poor. Today's youth already pays for social security that they may or may not get. Why are young Democrats so turned on about paying for health insurance they don't need?
15 AnswersOther - Politics & Government1 decade agoShould the Democratic Party make a public apology for its racist members?
Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia was a member of the KKK, as was Hugo Black, whom FDR appointed to the Supreme Court. And the Democrat George Wallace stood at the school door and proclaimed "Segregation for ever!".Isn't it time the Dems owned up to their racist past and issued an apology and some reparations to the minorities that they oppressed?
21 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoWhat are Obama's plans to ensure that only legal residents get health care?
Currently the Hill Burton Act requires hospitals to treat the needy if the hospitals accept federal money. Obama said that the health care reforms he supports will not apply to illegal aliens. How will the federal government enforce that? Require proof of legal residency from every sick person? And does he really mean to repeal the Hill Burton act?
12 AnswersOther - Politics & Government1 decade agoWon't Obama's address to Congress on Health Care be great?
Why wait for the speech? Let's start admiring the speech now! The way he illuminated the memory of Sen. Ted Kennedy, the passionate leader of the health care cause....we need to enact health care to honor that great scion of a great family! Obama's reflections on the poor and the needy inspires us to recognize.it is time to share the wealth of this great country with those whom prosperity has passed by! And the fact that he pointed to homeless Vets dying.on the street corners due to lack of affordable health care really tugged at our hearts and made us forget that there is a VA that runs a federal medical program.
And Congress applauded, and his poll numbers soured, and in less than a month he signed the Kennedy Health Care bill.
3 AnswersGovernment1 decade agoHow do you explain this: Terrorists are set free, and people who kept us safe are under investigation?
USA is not incarcerating more terrorists, but that is not the news. Instead we are focused on interrogation techniques used against terrorists by those who were keeping us safe. Is that ironic or what?
14 AnswersOther - Politics & Government1 decade agoIs the Obama Administration inept or what?
I am really in shock. I mean, the guy is a great speech maker, he has a majority in the house and a filibuster proof Senate. And his major pieces of legislation, Cap and Trade and Health Care Reform went down in flames. What happened? Rahm Emmanuel ran out of dead fish?
Meanwhile North Korea has the bomb, trillions of dollars are spent on our economic recovery, and he lets our tax dollars go overseas to fund abortions instead of using the money to pay for our recovery. What is with this Administration?
5 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoNow that the foolishness is over, can we talk about real health care reform?
First, some kind of means test. If you can afford health insurance, but choose not to buy it, tough. Yes, I know, this means young single males buy a policy.
Next, if you cannot afford a health insurance policy, but have assets (own a house, have cash in bank, etc).Feds guarantee a bank loan made to yuu so you can buy a policy, but the loan is secured by your assets.
If you have no assets, and cannot afford a policy, you go on Medicaid, which is, after all, where you are already.
6 AnswersGovernment1 decade agoDid Palin nail it on the "end of life counseling" or what?
Just the other day, Palin said that the health care bill included provisions for end of life counseling. Wow, was she demonized for saying that! People actually thought she was lying. But today the Senate Finance Committee removed that provision from the health care bill. Hats off to Palin for pointing this out! She clearly speaks for the American people, right?
10 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoIf the majority of USA opposes health care reform, why is Congress still considering the bill?
The majority of Americans do not want health care reform, and the opposition to it is growing. Why not just drop the issue for now and deal with things that the voters want done?
12 AnswersOther - Politics & Government1 decade agoShould illegal aliens be counted in the 2010 Census?
Congressional representation and spending of some federal tax dollars depends on a state's population. So states with higher numbers of illegals get more congressional seats and more tax money than other states. Should we count illegals as a full person, or amend the Constitution to only count them as 5/9'ths of a person, like the slaves used to be?
15 AnswersGovernment1 decade agoWho gets your vote, Pelosi versus Palin for POTUS?
It is November 2012 and due to an unforeseen series of events, Nancy Pelosi has succeeded to the Presidency of the US and won the Dem nomination for a full term in office. The Republicans nominate Sarah Palin. If the election were held today, with Pelosi as incumbent President, who gets your vote?
23 AnswersElections1 decade agoWhat do you suppose happened to Onesimus when Paul sent the slave back to Philemon?
I know Paul urged Philemon to receive the slave back with kindness, even though he had run away and had stolen from his Master and Owner in the process. But when Onesimus returned, do you think he spent the rest of his life being Philemon's slave?
4 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoHow can i get more clients for my home cleaning service?
Until the economy crashed, i was working full time and cleaning houses part time to make ends meet. Then i lost my full time job and figured i would work on getting more clients. I tried word of mouth through my existing clients.. But the opposite happened, as some of my clients lost their jobs, and cannot afford to pay for a housecleaner.
I know i have to overcome the issue of being male and 50+, so I cut my rates to $10 an hour. I do good work and got good references and in 10 years only had one complaint. Any ideas?

1 AnswerCurrent Events1 decade agoDid any of Pres. G. W. Bush's cabinet appointees not pay their taxes? Were they confirmed?
I cannot remember all these problems with tax cheaters being appointed under G. W. Bush. I know that there was an issue with one of his Supreme Court nominees, but I think that was because she was not strongly enough pro-life. And I sure cannot remember any appointee who had tax problems being confirmed even though the Republicans had the Senate for half of Bush's term.
10 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoIf we are to depend only on the Bible, how did Christians know what to believe before the NT was written?
The earliest written Gospel was that of Mark, and it was written a couple of decades after Pentecost. So if Christians are supposed to rely only on Scripture, how could the earliest Christians believe in anything about Jesus Christ? Do you think they listened to Apostolic teaching?
21 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoWho owned the slaves who originally built the White House?
