20 AnswersElections1 decade agoIs Joe Six Pack an Alcoholic?
Does he sit at the dinner table with a wife beater shirt talking about the economy and the cost of their children's college education? Are their children even going to college. For that matter, has his wife filed for a divorce yet, since her husband is always home sitting on the sofa drinking?
19 AnswersElections1 decade agoHow many times did Sarah Palin say Maverick in tonight's debate?
What the heck is a maverick politically speaking? I'm old school. I always though that a maverick meant a wild (feral) horse. How does being a government maverick help me out personally?

3 AnswersElections1 decade agoHow big is the racial divide in America?

4 AnswersSociology1 decade agoWhat gives America the right to make demands upon other nations of the world?
Is it purely military might? America's respectability has plummeted in the last decade, more so under G W Bush. (He squandered the good will and attitudes towards the US after 911) Many of our European allies have a very low opinion of the US and attribute the growing gulf between rich and poor in the world to America's consumption and some say greed. Can we continue to tell the world what to do. What happens when Russia, China, India, Pakistan, Germany, Italy and France say no more. Each of the aforementioned nations also have nuclear arms. Should America seek new ways to regain global respect and authority?

12 AnswersElections1 decade agoIs John McCain the Chief of Gaffes?
I can't remember such a bumbler since Gerald R. Ford. (no disrespect to the former President. He was a man of great integrity) McCain has absolutely no grasp of the economic events of the day nor does he have any grasp of which agencies oversee what organizations (SEC vs. FEC; **** vs. SIPC) Not to mention his dizzying flip flopping statements made this week alone. Is he senile or just , as he has stated, "not good on the economy"?
21 AnswersElections1 decade agoHow many more times will Sarh Palin (and the McCain campaign)?
promulgate flat out lies before the November elections. The most recent being the lie that the subpoena's being issued by the Alaska State Legislature are partisan and politically motivated. The truth is that the investigation was started before anyone in America had ever heard of her and it has been spearheaded by the dominate Republican Legislators in her state.
17 AnswersElections1 decade agoRepublicans. Aren't you glad G W's plan to privatize Social Security by investing in Wall Street was defeated?
Can you imagine the financial devastation to Americans had the Bush / GOP plan to allow Social Security funds to be invested in the stock market had been implemented?
5 AnswersElections1 decade agoRepublicans. Did your party just make the US a socialist nation?
In the biggest bailout since the depression, the GOP just gave Americans a multi-billion dollar burden borne on the backs of the greed and recklessness of the wealthiest top percentage of American citizens. It has been said over and over during this campaign season that the Democrats (Obama in particular) are trying to push a socialist agenda and that the GOP are fiscally responsible. Well, what do you have to say now? This country is on the verge of economic collapse and it has been driven to this state by almost 30 years of Republican deregulation which has made the rich richer and the middle class poorer. In the last 8 years, 7 of them have had a GOP controlled Congress and Executive Branch. Why should any American trust Republican Economics?
7 AnswersElections1 decade agoWhat would happen to the average American citizen who refused their State's Legislative Subpoena? ?
A subpoena (pronounced /səˈpiːnə/) is commonly defined as a written command to a person to testify before a court or be punished.
More accurately, a subpoena is the conditional threat of punishment made by a governmental authority. It is attached to a command, so that if the recipient does not do as commanded then he may be punished. Subpoenas are associated with common law legal systems.
5 AnswersElections1 decade agoIs McCain-Palin the next Bush-Cheney?
12 AnswersElections1 decade agoIf you are uncomfortable with McCain's economic policies, are you more comfortable with Sarah Palin's?
She would, after all, be a heartbeat away from the Presidency if McCain is elected and she would be the Chief Executive charged with fixing our failing economy. In light of the mortgage crisis, the failing of Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch (and other brokerage houses) rising fuel costs etc., are you comfortable with her economic leadership skills?
12 AnswersElections1 decade agoIs Walt Monegan lying or is Sarah Palin?
McCain Campaign says that Sarah Palin won't meet with "troopergate" investigator (after saying that she would co-operate fully). The investigation was initiated by her own State's Legislative Branch. Former Commissioner Walt Monegan says that he was pressured from Feb 2007 through Feb 2008 by Gov Palin and her aides until he was fired. So much for the transparency in Government that Palin & McCain have been spouting these past three weeks.
8 AnswersElections1 decade agoWho's the bigger celebrity now Obama or Palin?
