COLUMBIA, S.C. 鈥?John Edwards promises to stand up for American workers in a television ad to begin airing Wednesday in his native South Carolina, the first TV advertising for any of the Democratic presidential candidates.

The ad opens with Edwards walking through the overgrown parking lot of the Seneca textile mill where his father worked.

%26quot;Now it%26#039;s closed, the jobs are gone. For too many, it%26#039;s just about profit and greed. They%26#039;re wrong,%26quot; Edwards says in the 30-second spot that is to air statewide. %26quot;It%26#039;s about the dignity of a job and doing what%26#039;s right for America%26#039;s workers.%26quot;

Edwards also says the country doesn%26#039;t need another president %26quot;that puts wealth above work.%26quot;

%26quot;So, if you%26#039;re ready to stand with me for American jobs and America%26#039;s workers, your time is now,%26quot; says Edwards, who represented North Carolina in the Senate.

Edwards was born in Seneca in South Carolina%26#039;s northwestern corner, and his presidential campaigns in 2004 and now have emphasized that he is the son of a mill worker who through hard work managed to become a successful and wealthy lawyer and politician.

He is the first Democratic presidential candidate to run television ads in South Carolina, where unemployment rates are chronically above the national average.

New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Illinois Sen. Barack Obama have run radio ads.

Edwards won South Carolina%26#039;s Democratic primary in 2004, but a recent poll shows him trailing Clinton and Obama.

In Iowa, meanwhile, Edwards was to begin airing advertisements Tuesday in Iowa focusing on his call to end health benefits for top politicians who don%26#039;t approve a universal health care plan within six months of his taking office.

%26quot;When I%26#039;m president I%26#039;m going to say to members of Congress and members of my administration, including my Cabinet: I%26#039;m glad that you have health care coverage and your family has health care coverage,%26quot; Edwards says in the new spot airing in Iowa. %26quot;But if you don%26#039;t pass universal health care by July of 2009 _ in six months _ I%26#039;m going to use my power as president to take your health care away from you.%26quot;

EDWARDS 2008! GIVE %26#039;EM HELL JOHN!|||If you vote and support for socialized medicine You%26#039;re a fool.|||Yes!! Lets all have mandatory government checkups, Mandatory government vaccines. Mandatory government regulated diets, Mandatory government exercise routines, and Mandatory government prescription meds.

Who cares about civil liberties? Edwards%26#039; Health Care enforces Mandatory procedures for all citizens. The government knows what is best for us. We can%26#039;t take care of ourselves. Prescription meds have no known side-effects. Forget about alternative treatments. The government knows what works and what doesn%26#039;t. They are only looking out for our best interest.|||Americans WANT universal health care, which is why it%26#039;s such a big issue in this campaign (and previous ones). I%26#039;m glad Edwards doesn%26#039;t say %26#039;free%26#039; health care because we all know it%26#039;s not -free-, we%26#039;re just arguing about how to pay for it.

I like the idea of Edwards saying if Congress doesn%26#039;t get on the ball he will take -their- health care away (and Congress -does- get free health care). The idea is a good one because it puts the ball in their court. He%26#039;s saying %26#039;I want to implement universal health care, and if I can%26#039;t it will be Congress%26#039;s fault.%26#039;

But you have to consider that a president can%26#039;t take away a benefit from Congress all by himself. And I don%26#039;t see Congress voting to give up their own health care, do you?

So Edwards is making a promise he knows he can%26#039;t keep. And even though I like the goal, I have had enough of presidential candidates doing that, going back to Reagan%26#039;s promise to balance the budget -and- give big tax cuts, and to pass a constitutional amendment, no less, to ban abortion.

Also, now I hope I don%26#039;t sound too cynical, but all the universal health care proposals I%26#039;ve heard from politicians, including GHW Bush, Bill Clinton, and now Hillary Clinton, have the same basis, the have the government buying health insurance for -some- uninsured people from the existing insurance corporations, at their going rate. And this isn%26#039;t what most Americans want. The health insurance industry is one of the biggest campaign contributors, I think they are Hillary%26#039;s -biggest- contributor. So any proposal they make only shores up the existing system, which is riddled with bureaucratic inefficiency, waste and fraud. I haven%26#039;t read about Edwards%26#039; proposal but I wouldn%26#039;t be surprised if it was the same.|||It doesn%26#039;t make sense. He seems to understand the real problem when he says that the president %26quot;that puts wealth above work%26quot; is wrong.

But at the end, he says %26quot;But if you don%26#039;t pass universal health care by July of 2009 _ in six months _ I%26#039;m going to use my power as president to take your health care away from you.%26quot;

He%26#039;s just another socialist trying to make the impossible compulsory by law.

Then try to make ends meet by twisting the value of the money.

Then try to control inflation by regulating markets.

Then try to adjust unemployment by giving health care and unemployment support.

And then do all over again...|||well at least he got his thoughts from the one who needs to win.....HILARY CLINTON...........

It was the government. Although Germany is a free country, some of their systems are not that similiar to ours. The government controls the economy more than our govt here. Not only that, Germany is part of a larger economic unit called the European Union. They use the euro as currency

How to begin the healing from death, divorce and depression?

lost my dad (my hero) in 97, had alcoholic husband left in 04 divorced 06. daighters 20 %26amp; 18 are with him to complete school where they have always gone to school, was so depressed before leaving him was ready to commit suicide. Whole family turned against me because I moved to an area with more jobs. The area I was in had very high unemployment rates and none of family would help. Ex called me fat, ugly, and stupid for years. I understand that was the acohol talking, but self-esteem was so wore down from it. Daughter called me b* slapped her and he threatened to beat the h* out of me just a couple weeks before I left. I miss my girls, oldest talks to me about every 2 weeks and comes to visit about 2X a year. Youngest refuses to have anything to do with me. not to mention, I still cry over my dad even after 10 years. How do I start to heal?

Good luck|||I do reccmend councling. There are locations for counsling that go by your income. Either call your local Department of Family and social Services or even call a therapist and ask for information / contact numbers to locations that provide therapy based on your income. There are good therapist and there are bad therapist. some actually listen and help you express your feelsing and help you understand why you feel the way you do and help direct you in making some positve changes; then there are therapist that just sit there and look at you funny then at the end of your seesion that either tell you to came back and let them know how you are doing or even perhaps prescribe medications. Not to say medications are a bad thing, just as long as each person ends up taking medications that truly helps them. when a psychologist is in school they learn how the brain works and way to listen to people and learn ways to connect a persons%26#039; symptoms to the appropraite term but in my opinion what makes a good therapist is when %26quot;real life%26quot; and common sence is used when talking to a patient and truly listening to them and providing them with some direction to get feeling better and to deal with situations.|||do you pray? maybe that%26#039;s your answer|||Your life sounds almost like my life, there are only 2 more things that I don%26#039;t have and for these maybe this is where %26quot;you can begin the healing%26quot;.

Always remember, when you think you have it bad, there is always someone out there that is actually worse off than you.

I am alone and am still looking for work.

From a family of 6 siblings and only talk to 1 of them.

Raised 2 children on my own, now that they have their dad around, I%26#039;ve been tossed to the curb and kicked down by both kids, one of whom I paid to go to out of state college, I have 3 grandchildren and aren%26#039;t allowed to see them because my daughter said I care more about them than her, well now I do because of her statements to me.

so, I%26#039;m sitting here on a friday night, no hubby, only the sounds of my keyboard.

I know I%26#039;m sounding sorry for myself, but I only wanted you to know I relate to your depression.

You can contact social services by your local county name on the internet.

There are tons of services out there to help you and yes even counseling, I have my first appt. next week. (no costs)

My pride has kept me away from picking up that phone, but my reg. dr. who really knows me, knows how hard I use to work, knows about my family problems, has finally sat me down and explained to me, that sometimes, just sometimes we need help in being pointed in the right direction.

Take one thing at a time, write things down. I honestly could not be in a relationship right now, (for me, I don%26#039;t think it would be fair to the other person) that is only %26quot;my way of thinking%26quot;. right now, but then my self esteem is also low %26amp; I%26#039;d be terrified I%26#039;d even make the mistake of picking the wrong person. (just trying to make you smile:)

So if and it sounds like you do have someone that loves you very much, let him help you. I know I need to find peace within myself, that is what I am trying to do everyday.

Pray and keep God in your heart. Know you aren%26#039;t alone and try try try and stay positive:)

I miss my dad all the time, (he passed away over 16 years ago) but I feel he%26#039;s watching over me, I have too believe or there%26#039;s no reason to live, please keep your chin up and make that call...|||Well, first of all, I would go to a smaller church. Talk to a minister, and make some friends. Go free places, like libraries and pursue your interests there. Talk to like minded people on the internet.

About grief. Something that all adults learn, but that it would be cruel to tell children, is that loss is permanent. The pain never goes away completely. You can%26#039;t heal to the point where you feel like it never happened - it changes who you are.

But you can guide yourself and let others help you to the point where you can function, and find happiness again. You will always feel sad about the loss of your dad. That%26#039;s ok, it%26#039;s human. Just keep struggling to hold on tight to the good things about your father. Remember the fun and the love, and know that through your memory of him, he is still alive in you. He gave himself to you, and so you haven%26#039;t lost him, as long as you keep his memory alive in you.

And most important, get out of the house! some days you just can%26#039;t stand the idea of anything but work, home, work home, but that is soul killing. So even though you don%26#039;t want to, make appointments to go for a walk, and keep them like it was the law. Make a contract with yourself to visit the public library and read at least one book there, and no, downloading from the internet doesn%26#039;t count, that%26#039;s cheating.

Listen to music you used to like, do things you used to like to do. Rediscover yourself.

Wisconsin??

Okay, we%26#039;re thinking about moving from the NW suburbs of Chicago to the suburbs of Milwaukee Wisconsin, Pewaukee area to be exact. My husband received a great job offer...just not sure if it%26#039;s a stable move.... I need input...anyone live there?? What are some good areas, good value%26#039;s housing wise?? Raising kids, young families, newer homes, good schools...that sort of thing.... Also...I%26#039;m very concerned as I heard on the news that Wisconsin has very high unemployment rates and more college grads then jobs, is the economy stable there!?

Any and all input from anyone who knows, would be great!

Thanks in advance!!

My husband is in the hospitality business. He runs hotels and restaurants....he%26#039;s been offered a COE position for a restaurant/hotel there.

I%26#039;m not concerned so much with wether or not we can afford it, but rather wether or not it would be a good place to invest...i.e. purchase a home! I%26#039;ve heard a lot about the lack of economy/jobs and the cost of living is high considering....worried about losing the equity we%26#039;d be investing on our home! Any and all help or advice is welcome, esspecially from those who know the area! Thanks!

Wisconsin??student loan

The economy seems stable enough to me. There are some great companies that are headquartered here. Like any metropolitan area--including Chicago--there are problems, but Pewaukee isn%26#039;t in the city. It%26#039;s a suburb to the west of Milwaukee and there are several suburbs--quite affluent ones--between Pewaukee and the Milwaukee County line.

I assume you%26#039;ve visited Pewaukee and you%26#039;ve seen what life is like there--the lake, the schools, the people. It%26#039;s a great place to raise kids--most places in Wisconsin are. Cities here are usually on lists of the top places to raise a family, with Sheboygan (to the north) and Madison (to the west) named most often.

For children, there are many kinds of resources so you don%26#039;t have to feel that by moving them away from a bigger metropolis you are condemning them to live like hicks. Music, drama, athletic, and cultural organizations such as ethnic dance groups can suppliment more community based activities and just hanging out.

The tourism business is very strong in Wisconsin and people who live here also like to have a good time.

I think it%26#039;s a very good place to raise a family. I live in one of those suburbs between Pewaukee and Milwaukee and my children have grown up safe, well-educated, and with experiences I never really thought they could have. Living here lets them know that there%26#039;s a big world out there to explore and the security of living in a safe place lets them develop confidence to go out there and explore it.

Wisconsin??

loanWell I for one know the principal of the middle school and I know it is a great school system. Pewaukee is a little older than the nearby brookfield, but it is very established and has some big city amenties, without the big city problems. You will love it. Report It

Election 2008: Is 4 Years Enough Time To Correct The Problems?!!?

Does anyone else feel that no matter WHO gets elected; 4 years may not be enough time to fix 8-12 years of our former administrations.

God bless them for the effort; I believe the candidates are sincere. BUT, the time between signing something into law %26amp; actual implementation is never a speedy process.

Do you think its even possible to remove all of our troops and have them home in 1 presidential term?

When they get %26quot;home%26quot;, what jobs will they work? Thats an awful lot of people returning to a nation that already has shaky unemployment rates.

If small businesses are continually over taxed %26amp; forced to pay for %26quot;better%26quot; healthcare - then how will they create new jobs?

I heard it may take a %26quot;9 figure%26quot; budget to to keep %26quot;evildoers%26quot; at bay- but how much is it gonna cost to %26quot;reform%26quot; immigration - keeping them or kicking them out?

What can truly be done in the next 4 years?

Election 2008: Is 4 Years Enough Time To Correct The Problems?!!?cash loan

4 years isn%26#039;t enough. The Bush administration has doomed our country and sent it down a path that it may not be able to return from.

It%26#039;s likely that the next president will only make things worse. It%26#039;s only a matter of time before our country collapse and famine and war spread across the land.

RIP USA 1776-2008

loan

Probably not. But it is enough time to get things moving in the right direction. If they can get things moving to BETTER even if they aren%26#039;t GREAT at the end of the first 4 year term, there is a reasonable expectation that the winner of this election would be able to win the next one in 2012 also. That may give them enough time to make a real difference.

If they make it worse or it remains the same, they probably will lose to other contenders in 2012.

This is for American citizens.. How do you feel about illegal immigrants and how they affected the U

Over the last few days, many protests have been going go about mexican citizenship. The real issue is why does it take so long for U.S. immigration to either grant visas to, not just these folks, but others immigrants as well. We need to give them citizenship or get them back home. The increase in medical costs to the uninsured, the unpaid taxes and the increase in unemployment rates and unreprimanded crimes leaves us with a very serious issue for our future and those of our children.

This is for American citizens.. How do you feel about illegal immigrants and how they affected the US economy?online loan

Illegals draw welfare by stealing people%26#039;s social security numbers and identities. That means there are a lot of people being directly hurt by these people as well. Innocent people are having their credit ratings ruined, having IRS problems, and social security problems. If someone who has had their social security number stolen gets married, if either spouse dies or become disabled then they can be denied their benefits.

My family moved to the US before WWII. Those of my family that didn%26#039;t make it over got killed by the death camps. Our family assimilated to the American culture. We didn%26#039;t expect the Americans to change to suit us. The illegal immigrants from Mexico are not civilized like that.

They not only changed the National Anthem to Spanish, they changed the words. They already burn our flag and hang our flag upside down. They waved the Mexican flag during a lot of their protests. Some schools have stopped hanging the American flag and forbidden students from wearing clothes with any part of the American flag on their clothing all to keep from offending the Mexicans. It%26#039;s nothing short of an attack of our country, not only by the illegal aliens, but those who seek to appease them.

I am tired of the stereotype that Americans wouldn%26#039;t do the work that illegals do. Illegals do all kinds of jobs for less than minimum wage which drives the wages down for U.S. citizens. Construction jobs are an example. There are lots of illegals doing construction jobs that Americans used to do because the companies can keep more of the profits if they pay less for the workers. All that does is make companies wealthier and Americans poorer. Illegals are stealing jobs that Americans have done for years.

If you go to a country and refuse to assimilate, continuing to speak your own language then you are really not an immigrant -- you%26#039;re a colonist ... and that%26#039;s what the Mexicans are doing, they%26#039;re colonizing the American Southwest as part of their %26quot;reconquista%26quot; Read about mecha in the link I provided and you%26#039;ll see what the Mexicans real agenda is.

I am in Arizona and since 1990 our high school drop out rate has increased, teenage pregnancies are dramatically climbing, the unemployment rate is unatrocious.

I can back myself up on that because my fiancee lives in Peru , he will be here on a visa in March berfore he was able to come , he had to learn english and get a background check and a health screen.

I can only add that US economy actually do need extra workforce from these illegal people but only in certain sector. US farm sector is in dire need of man power.

They cant be legal why? Because than they cant work for minimum wage or under thay have to start paying taxes healt insurance and more and more so they CANT BE LEGAL that is the bigest problem for senate we cant used them anymore if they will be legal.

Build the wall.

If I were Mexican, I%26#039;d probably want to come here too to feed my family and get away from the corrupt officials there.

This country doesn%26#039;t give free medical care to my family, no automatic in-state tuition wherever I want to send my kids, automatic social security and welfare. Why should we bend over backwards to help someone breaking the law?

They come here not just to do jobs nobody else wants but well paid construction jobs that unemployed Americans could use and legally pay taxes on.|||ILLEGAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

its about time someone thought about the majority for a friggin change|||The Fair Tax when passed will draw businesses from other countries to the United States because of NO BUSINESS TAXES. Other countries will have business taxes that will be paid and those businesses will want to pay less taxes. This means they will need workers. The job market will be wide open. The competition for good workers will raise the pay scale of the workers. The good workers will receive higher wages and the non-productive workers will be left behind. If the worker wants to get ahead, they will be able to simply by doing a good job. The law of supply and demand not only applies to the purchasing of goods, but also applies to the job market. A good quality work ethic will demand a higher pay. If the employer does not want to pay the higher wage, his competition will.

Well, the poor in this country won’t generate the same kind of publicity as it would in countries overseas. After all those people don’t even speak the same language as we do, so the media can say that they’re so impoverished that can’t even afford an education. They can interview them and have their “translators” interpret them as saying whatever they want. And what do the Hollywood types get if they help these people aside from world media attention and a few ‘atta boy’s’ from the political leaders of whoever’s country they happen to be in, a population of Senegalese people who learn enough English to they can say “thank you Alec Baldwin, because of you I can afford to go to school and write to you. You are my hero.” And you know the American press will be there.

The poor in this country are only going to say “About time! We’ve been saying that you should help us her first since you people put a man on the moon!” (Rich Hollywood types don’t like to be reminded that they’re ignorant too because they depend on the media for their information) just as long as Bono looks good in Kenya.

What happens when minimum wage goes up?bank loan

The reason intelligent people are against the raising of minimum wage(or min wage all together), is because when you raise the minimum hiring wage you force the business owners to take the blow to their profits, which they are not going to do.

You not only have to pay the basic unskilled worker coming in the door more per hour but by nature all skilled workers are going to want a raise by equal increments.

Not to mention the price of ever day good will go up. Your hamburger at McDonald%26#039;s will be $10(exaggerated a little)

This is a political trick usually by Democrats to %26quot;buy%26quot; votes from the poor and uninformed. It sound good to raise wages, but it doesn%26#039;t work. The free market should decide what a good wage for a good job is.

when minumum wage goes up.. taxes will go up!|||when minimun wage goes up inflation increases.|||my father in law owns a few small businesses, and said he will have to raise his prices to cover it..... so if everyone does that , then what was the point of raising minimum wage?|||Minimum wage goes up, so will taxes and the cost of living.|||Cost of living determines raise in wage.

It costs more to hire employees if you have to pay more.

Small business owners may not be able to afford raises and may have to let some people go.

Minimum wage is just one component of a state%26#039;s economy. Politics affects local economies more than wages.|||Following the most recent increase in the minimum wage in 1996-97, the low-wage labor market performed better than it had in decades (e.g., lower unemployment rates, increased average hourly wages, increased family income, decreased poverty rates). Studies of the 1990-91 federal minimum wage increase, as well as to studies by David Card and Alan Krueger of several state minimum wage increases, also found no measurable negative impact on employment. Finally, a recent Fiscal Policy Institute (FPI) study of state minimum wages found no evidence of negative employment effects on small businesses.

Plus, more families will be able to be off the welfare roles, and will become consumers, thus helping the economy. (A family cannot support itself on just minimum wage.)|||When the minimum wage goes up individuals have more spending power and the money is recirculated in society. By creating increased wealth, the local economy is stimulated. To show a small example:

Someone who earns a small wage can%26#039;t afford any luxuries. If they have some extra disposable income they might go to the hairdresser, join a sports club, go see a movie etc, and this helps keep all of the people in these areas employed. Providing the minimum wage isn%26#039;t set ridiculously high (and $7.50 isn%26#039;t that high) then it creates sustainable wealth as all those people buy goods and services.

This also means that workers are not exploited by their employers as they must be paid fairly.

The premise of your question indicates that society would be better off if the U.S. had %26quot;Mandatory Military Participation (MMP)%26quot;. Better than calling it the %26quot;D%26quot; word.

Here is what you can do to better prove whether your premise is true or not. Look at the democracies in Europe or all over the world, that have MMP, and compare their quality of life to ours.

If you really want to take the time and do a comparison, go to the CIA website (BELOW) and compare the nations that have MMP and the U.S. and compare their vital stats (crime, education, income,etc).

I would venture to say that it would not or does not make a difference in a society whether they have MMP or not in terms of the vital stats of a nation.

Of course we can argue that smugglers and traffickers encourage violence and insecurity so that it costs more to the Nation-state to re-create a peaceful and enabling environment. This safe climate allows private sector activities to flourish and socio-economic conditions can be improved.

In the long run, if trafficks are stopped, that can re-create basis for a good and healthy development. This is currently experienced in Haiti where are passing 10% of the cocaine traded in US.

How will socioeconomic conditions improve if traffickers are caught in less developed countries?

Basically, people will see that crime doesn%26#039;t pay as a profession, and they will see that they need to work rather than do illegal activities.

It will eventually put more money and time into legal activities if traffickers are caught.

Which is better, higher taxes or higher tax revenues and are they synonymous?

I have always heard that lower taxes create higher tax revenues and lower unemployment rates and this does seem to be the case.

Which is better, higher taxes or higher tax revenues and are they synonymous?cheap loans

In April this year, the IRS collected the most money it has ever collected in history, both in terms of actual dollars and percent of the GDP.

The reason is simple to anyone who is willing to be intellectually honest...tax cuts have caused this. Lower taxes ALWAYS = better economy = more people working = more people spending money = more people starting businesses = MORE TAXES BEING COLLECTED.

But if the Libs wish to continue their blatent dishonesty with themselves and everyone else and call for tax hikes (the rollback of the Bush tax cuts would be exactly that, make no mistake about it), we will see the economic recession follow closely.

Which is better, higher taxes or higher tax revenues and are they synonymous?

The two are opposites. Lower taxes means more money in the economy. This means more revenue into the government.

It has worked recently. It is true.|||It is the case. It happens because when people have more of their money to spend, they will spend it. Stores and businesses get more revenue and more taxes are paid all around, but in smaller increments.|||Neither one. What is best is oversight on spending and cutting the fat out of the government budget.

Next, take back the tax cuts for the wealthy. No president in history ever cut taxes during a war.....except for the current idiot.

Then, get rid of that overblown IRS completely (a 7 billion dollar a year fiasco), impose a flat tax with NO LOOPHOLES and make sure every person, company, corporation pays it - based on GROSS INCOME, not net income.|||none take a look at what jimmy carter did by raising taxes as well Clinton everyone stopped buying stuff and less money on your paycheck.|||well... it%26#039;s really a bit of voodoo economics...

first off... tax revenues ALMOST ALWAYS ARE RECORDS... as the economy is constantly growing... basically every president has had record revenues, but many have differing philosophies on taxation... so clearly, one may not be a result of the other (tax cut=tax record income)

if you cut taxes to 0... will you have all time record revenue? according to your theory, you would...

but granted, some cuts can spur revenue to some degrees, but I don%26#039;t think it%26#039;s as simple as cuts always equal record revenue...

if that were so, every country would always cut taxes...

it%26#039;s a grossly naive statement to make to say that it%26#039;s always a good thing to cut taxes...

Nancy Pelosi. Want to know how to get back at President Bush?

First we can put a windfall tax on the stock market, including retirement funds, 401K%26#039;s, and mutual funds. This would help the 20 million illegal immigrants and other unemployed minorities. The stock market is at record highs, helping the rich get richer. Cut Bush%26#039;s tax cuts too, as the economy has rebounded, with record low unemployment rates. Despite the war in Iraq our economy is still strong, and tax revenues at an all time high, with the deficit shrinking.

I think you said it all! The democrats plan to raise taxes is like dropping a bomb on our economy! Whats unfortunate is the ignorant belief that Bill Clinton%26#039;s economic package from 93, which is similar to the current democrats plan, gave us our great economy in the 90%26#039;s. What actually gave us our great economy was the .com boom and Silicon Valley. In 2001 when the we had the .com bust we saw the effects of Clinton%26#039;s economic package. Our economy wasn%26#039;t very resilient and we ended up in a recession. Since Bush%26#039;s economic relief package was passed in 2003 our economy has grown despite energy inflation, a huge deficit, large trade deficit and so on. If the democrats want to improve our economy they should build on what Bush has achieved not destroy it. They should turn their attention to our trade deficit which will affect the value of the Dollar, when the war ends reduce spending overall, and work toward the nation becoming energy independent! Like I said if they raise taxes it will be like a nuclear bomb on our economy because todays democrats wont have the an emerging market to help their tax and spend programs!

Why have Americans become appeasers and quitters?

When a country is at war the focus of the news and media is on war. What people need to realize is that there is more going on in Washington DC that what you see on TV and read in the news. Have you heard lately about how unemployment rates are at an all-time low? Has anyone told you that President Bush has spent more on AIDS research and prevention than any other president?

There are several examples of failures and successes in almost every generation and preidency. People forget that we have had soldiers stationed in Germany and Japan since before the end of WWII. The struggle of today is helping Americans to realize the nature of this war that we are battling. The insurgents that we are fighting against in Iraq are cowards. They don%26#039;t show their face to their enemy. They lurk in the night hiding bombs that kill innocent families and soldiers. We have two groups in Washington that cannot decide together what to do.

The fact of the matter is that regardless of what the motives were for going into Iraq, this war must be finished and it must be won. Our generation has become a people with the disease of ease. They want their freedom for free, their government to take care of them, their leaders to be without fault. Even John F. Kennedy said %26quot;Ask not for your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.%26quot; Are we so focused on ourselves that we don%26#039;t realize that our actions are affecting generations to come?

Out of the Greatest Generation came a leader by the name of Winston Churchill. One of his most famous quotes was %26quot;Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival. %26quot; How very true. If we do not show our enemies that we are the STRONGER, more COMMITTED TO OUR VALUES, that we have more HONOR for those who fought before us, we have failed every generation who fought and lost their lives to ensure that we would have the rights and priviliges that we have today.

WInston Churchill also said this of those who would rather give up the fight and not finish what is begun %26quot;An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last.%26quot; Sadly, it has been looked down upon that certain leaders of our country have stood by their unflinching word. Yet another quote by Winston Churchill is %26quot;I was only the servant of my country and had I, at any moment, failed to express her unflinching resolve to fight and conquer, I should at once have been rightly cast aside.%26quot;

And the American People are now saying that they would rather give up the fight for freedom, not only our freedom, but the freedom of every person born into this world. How selfish. How sad that people have forgotten how it felt on that morning when we heard that so many of our loved ones were needlessly killed by cowards that won%26#039;t even come face to face with their %26quot;enemy.%26quot;

You%26#039;re entitled to your point of view too, and whatever it may be, it doesn%26#039;t give me the right to call you names.

You fail to recognize that there are many sides to every argument, and many grains of truth to all of them. For starters, unemployment isn%26#039;t at an %26quot;all-time low%26quot;, not by a long shot. It was 4.6% last year, which isn%26#039;t bad as things go. But it was 2.9% in 1953, 3.0% in 1952, and lower than 4.6% many other times. Want more recent lower numbers? Okay, how about during the Clinton administration? In 2000, unemployment was 4.0%, in 1999 it was 4.2%, and in 1998 it was 4.5%. In fact, during the eight years of the Clinton administration, it averaged 5.2%. So far, in five years of the Bush administration, it%26#039;s averaged 5.283%. But don%26#039;t believe me, look it up yourself at http://www.bls.gov/cps/prev_yrs.htm .

In keeping with your apparent tendency to call people names, you call %26#039;the insurgents%26#039; (which they most definitely are not...look up the definition!) %26#039;cowards%26#039; who %26#039;don%26#039;t show their face to their enemy%26#039;. From my perspective, sitting in Washington and signing papers to send OTHER PEOPLE%26#039;S CHILDREN to war is pretty cowardly too. Are you aware that not one son or daughter of a Senator or Representative currently in the U.S. Congress is serving overseas? Does that really strike you as shouldering the burden of war in an honest and fair manner, or does it sound more like some rich, powerful people sending out some poorer, less powerful people to do their dirty work?

If you%26#039;d like to discuss what%26#039;s going on in Washington, by all means open up a conversation. But if the first thing I hear is you calling me an %26#039;appeaser%26#039; and a %26#039;quitter%26#039;, why should I bother taking you seriously? You%26#039;re obviously not interested in anything I have to say, nor do you have anything to say to me except platitudes supporting your party%26#039;s platform. Why would I be interested in listen to another diatribe?

- The more children they have, the more they are rewarded

- Free food with food stamps and WIC

- Free health care and prescriptions with Medicaid

I think there are many ways in which the political structure affects families. Some are beneficial and others are detrimental. Of the good kind, one sees persons settled in a society where law and order prevail, which gives a sense of security to those who abide by it. On the other hand, there is probably too much governmental interference in the way people choose to live. High taxation, antiquated laws, lack of sufficient health care, a stressed economy, unemployment rates, escalating crime, relaxed national security, and domestic violence are some of the by-products of the division of politics in this nation.
