Did anyone hear that the French Prime Minister say that we are currently trying to get rid of 24 tons of WMD?
I heard on DemocracyNOW a portion of the French Prime Minister saying that the UN is currently trying to destroy roughly 24 tons or 240 tons of chemical weapons gotten from Iraq. He is saying that Syria should have roughly 1000 tons of chemical weapons. I am wondering when the main stream media over here will run this story since this proves that Iraq did have WMD which the liberals have strongly denied for years.
3 AnswersPolitics8 years agoSo asking for photo ID is considered wrong and denies people the right to vote but having see more detail?
But having people with signs outside of the early voting booth and people handing out Democrat voter guides is legal? Especially when there was about 10 to 12 people standing near the doors? This was in Akron, Ohio outside of the Summit County Election Board.
When I usually vote at my precinct, I am either have to tell people that I don't want a Democrat voter guide or I have guys trying to confront me after I voted.
2 AnswersElections9 years agoHow come Democrats don't have a clue when it comes to how much people actually pay in income taxes?
I saw another Obama ad that was nothing more then a lie by the moderator at 60 minutes. I know my wife and I make a lot more then the 50K example the moderator used as an example of people who pay a higher income tax then Mitt Romney. Using just standard deductions on my combined income, I am only paying 10% actual in income tax. Even Politifact had to cook the numbers to get the upper middle class to pay more then 14%.
5 AnswersGovernment9 years agoLove the latest anti Mitt Romney ad that states that Mitt Romney would have just allowed..?
Chevrolet and Chrysler to go bankrupt. Didn't they go bankrupt even with Government bail-outs?
7 AnswersElections9 years agoHow come Bill Clinton forgets that he oversaw the largest increase in personal debt during his two terms?
That he cut the military in half.
That he allowed us to be attacked here and abroad for eight years.
That he signed off on the Segal-Glass Bill that basically deregulated the banks.
That he oversaw the Internet bubble and collapse and the start of the housing bubble.
Yet he is campaigning for Obama to return to this time period?
2 AnswersElections9 years agoHow come the latest politicifact once again spins the answer?
In the latest politiFact they are talking about Romney's taxes paid. This list the actual rates based on Urban Institute-Brookings INstitution Tax Policy Center. It is not until the top fifth that the average goes above 14%. Then later in the article they add in payroll taxes to the averages while ignoring the payroll taxes that Romney paid thus coming up with a half truth.
1 AnswerElections9 years agoHow come Obama's ad that he is trying to "help" the economy so wrong?
Obama's one ad is all about how Romney doesn't want the rich to pay their fair share while ignoring that roughly 50% of workers pay 0 income tax. In the past, when we needed to pay off debt everyone sacrificed to pay more in taxes. The Democrats keep bringing up the 91% for the wealthy back in the 1950's while ignoring the fact that the lowest tax rate was 35%.
Finally, it seems that everyone has forgotten that the biggest reason that we had the Great Recession is that all of the debt spending by the average person over almost two decades caused the average person to rethink their use of debt and how they spend their money.
4 AnswersPolitics9 years agoHow come Obama's attack ad about the Steel Mill that was about to close...?
has so little truth. They have a former worker who had to be blind to the problems that the Steel Mill was in saying what the average worker always say when they think that someone will be able to safe their company. Also, Bain Capital did keep it open for almost a decade longer then it was suppose to.
Are Democrats that ignorant of the business world? Or just blind?
4 AnswersElections9 years agoHow come most liberals wrongly think that Conservatives are similar to NAZIs?
Every so often in the News I read that NAZIs were Conservative, what part of National SOCIALIST Party leads to being Conservative?
24 AnswersPolitics9 years agoJust saw the new Sierra Club add about air pollution, why do environmentalists falsely believe see below?
that by tightening up the air pollution limits most likely below natural background is a good thing? Also, how come they wrongly think that by cleaning the air further we will "save" a few thousand lives?
1 AnswerCurrent Events9 years agoWow, are some people really that naive to think that 40 to 60 Billion a year ...?
was what caused us to have deficits of roughly 1300 Billion a year over the past 3 years? And by bringing back heavier taxes on the wealthy will make them have skin in the game when 48% of those that worked paid zero taxes and 30% actually got paid by the Federal Government? That is not including those on welfare or unemployment benefits for 99 weeks.
4 AnswersGovernment10 years agoWow is Harry Reid an idiot? He says that during the Clinton years the Democrats see more?
Paid down the debt which is not true. During the Clinton years they reduced deficit spending but never too it to the positive. He also is currently saying on Face the Nation that we can't cut any programs at all but we need to reduce deficits. Makes no sense at all. Finally, he says that there are things we can cut but doesn't go into what they are. To me this is irresponsibility on the part of Harry Reid and the Democrat Senators.
4 AnswersGovernment1 decade agoHas any one else seen Joe Bastardi's near range predictions?
Joe Bastardi is saying that the next few winters will be colder and more sever then the ones in the recent past and that World temperatures should drop drastically.
5 AnswersGlobal Warming1 decade agoSo how can a tie for second be considered the hottest on record?
According to USA Today, 2010 was .02°F off of 1998 so in theory it is the hottest on record just like 2005 was similarly of. Then I heard the exact same story on NPR with the spokesperson from NOAA.
5 AnswersGlobal Warming1 decade agoHave any one seen the two documentaries about birth in the United States?
If so, what do you think based on your own research? My girlfriend and I who are expecting our first child found the two main ones to be very biased and then in both cases one of the main couples had to go to the hospital due to complications including in the one that Ricki Lake did because the child was a breech baby and they couldn't get it turned.
Also, the hospital that we are going to go to offers the same type of birth as they are pushing in the documentaries but in a wing of the hospital where there is support in case of a problem.
2 AnswersOther - Pregnancy & Parenting1 decade agoHow come the AGW supporters wrongly believe that we are not doing anything?
They keep saying that we are continuing business as usual, if this was the case our vehicles would still be getting around 20 mpg on average not the near 30 mpg that most fleets have to now. The US Federal Government would not be putting fuel mileage requirements on heavy trucks and buses. In the United States and other developing nations we would not be putting up wind farms which we are. I could go on, but the AGW supporters only think we are doing nothing because it would give the Government more power.
9 AnswersGlobal Warming1 decade agoHow come Democrats, at least in Ohio are distorting the truth about Social Security?
There are ads being ran in Northeast Ohio saying that Republicans want to put ALL of Social Security into private hands. This is incorrect, the last Republican stance was to allow a certain percentage, up to half to be invested like a 401(k) at the individual's choice. If you don't want to opt for this option, then you can stay with the current option.
3 AnswersElections1 decade agoIs this how some potential criminals are? In Cleveland, one of the County Commissioners is mad about legal.?
Legal wiretaps on his phone lines on what looks to be a two year plus investigation into corruption on him and currently 8 others with 2 judges involved also.
2 AnswersGovernment1 decade agoHow come we the people have to sacrifice while Congress continues to spend way more then it brings in?
Also, the biggest reason that they want to repeal Bush's tax cuts is to increase spending per CNN news.
5 AnswersGovernment1 decade agoDoes this make sense to any one? See more details?
I was watching CNN during lunch and they were talking about the Bush tax cuts that are due to expire. Some economists and members of Congress want at least the ones for the upper class to expire not so that it can go towards the deficit reduction, but so that they can have 70 billion more to spend. We are running North of the trillion dollar deficits for the past two years and will be for the foreseeable future so doesn't it make more sense to reduce spending instead of increasing spending and getting rid of tax cuts so you can increase spending even more?
