Will Obama's "Mission Accomplished" declaration see the same reaction which happened after Bush's declaration?
Obama has now said that the war is over in Afghanistan, and that there will be no more terrorist attacks with any connections there. How will his supporters act when it backfires, like Bush's "Mission Accomplished" did?
12 AnswersPolitics6 years agoWhat caused the Chicago murder rate to drop below 1958 levels for the first quarter?
Considering that the economy hasn't improved, there are still as many drug busts, and the racial makeup hasn't changed. In fact, the only major change was that Chicago had to start honoring Concealed Carry Permits, which Illinois was forced to start issuing.
4 AnswersLaw & Ethics7 years agoWho agrees with the Senator who made this statement about filibusters,?
"what [the American people] don’t expect, is for one party, be it Republican or Democrat, to change the rules in the middle of the game so that they can make all the decisions while the other party is told to sit down and keep quiet…everyone in this chamber knows that if the majority chooses to end the filibuster—if they choose to change the rules and put an end to democratic debate—then the fighting and the bitterness and the gridlock will only get worse."
5 AnswersGovernment8 years agoWhy would a Liberal call it murder to shoot a man who breaks down adoor and attacks the homeowner?
I mean, really, is it really murder shoot a man who breaks your door down, and attacks you for not letting him kidnap your wife? This arrest is seen as a victory for gun control, and people wonder why gun owners fight against gun control.

“What I’m going to say, no one else will say, but I’m going to say it anyway: I think it’s a big mistake to pay the death benefits to the families of members of the military who are killed in Afghanistan and whose bodies are being brought back to Dover Air Force base and were not going to get benefits because of the government shutdown,” Bill Press, Liberal talk show host said.
12 AnswersPolitics8 years agoWho Agrees With This Statement On Raising The Debt Ceiling?
'The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government can not pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America's debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that "the buck stops here." Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.'

9 AnswersGovernment8 years agoWhat do you feel about having an empty cartridge case being a felony weapons offense?
In case you didn't know, having an empty shell casing in your vehicle is considered PROOF that you were in illegal possession of a firearm in DC and is considered PROOF that you had fired said firearm from inside your vehicle. When asked how that was proof the answer was, "Because there is NO OTHER REASON you would have an empty shell casing in your vehicle besides having fired a gun from inside your vehicle!"
8 AnswersGovernment8 years agoWhy Does Mexico Really Oppose Arizona Law?
How many have heard about this?
"The State of Sonora is angry at the influx of Mexicans into Mexico ! !
Nine state legislators from the Mexican State of Sonora traveled to Tucson to complain about Arizona 's new employer crackdown on illegal s from Mexico . It seems that many Mexican illegal s are returning to their hometowns and the officials in the Sonora state government are ticked off. A delegation of nine state legislators from Sonora was in Tucson on Tuesday to state that Arizona 's new 'Employer Sanctions Law' will have a devastating effect on the Mexican state. At a news conference, the legislators said that Sonora, - Arizona's southern neighbor - made up of mostly small towns - cannot handle the demand for housing, jobs and schools that it will face as Mexican workers return to their hometowns from the USA without jobs or money.
The Arizona law, which took effect Jan. 1, punishes Arizona employers who knowingly hire individuals without valid legal documents to work in the United States . Penalties include suspension of, or loss of, their business license. The Mexican legislators are angry because their own citizens are returning to their hometowns, placing a burden on THEIR state government instead of ours.
'How can Arizona pass a law like this?' asked Mexican Rep Leticia Amparano-Gamez, who represents Nogales . 'There is not one person living in Sonora who does not have a friend or relative working in Arizona ,' she said, speaking in Spanish. 'Mexico is not prepared for this, for the tremendous problems it will face as more and more Mexicans working in Arizona and who were sending money to their families return to their hometowns in Sonora without jobs,' she said 'We are one family, socially and economically,' she said of the people of Sonora and Arizona ."
