Col Gene Where are you getting your data from? Must be from the Washington Post. Check this out from the labor department: Link From March of 2004 (101.4) until March of 2005 (105.1) there has been a raise in the "Indexes of aggregate weekly payrolls of production or nonsupervisory workers1 on private nonfarm payrolls by industry sector and selected industry detail
There is no logical reason for voters in Ohio to support the reelection of George Bush since his economic policies, tax policies and his trade policies failed to stem the loss of jobs in Ohio. It may not be logical to you or the DNC, who can't see how people are tired of the 60's additude.(i.e. moral va
Exit polls clearly indicated in those states that the reason for the higher turnout were the amendments. No the exits polls stated "Moral Values". IMO, unlike what democrats who are trying to make it sound like they lost because of Gay rights and Religious issues, the regular Joe was more motivated to
If Congress knew what they know today, Bush would never have got the War resolution passed If Congress in the late 1930s would have know about Perial Harbor or Hitler’s Death camps, would they have prevented the military build up that Roosevelt requested so hard? If Congress had known what can
And, other dems would keep them in check. It's a philosophical thing. Ahhhh, ahhhh, ahhhh, ahhh :D harrr, harrr, h
I never knew that charity = government welfare. If you deduct the amount that you give to charity, from the amount you pay in taxes, it is. The difference is that you get the choice of where your money goes, instead of the Government. Whether you give to charity or not, your money will ultimat
In 2004 Bush had taxable income Line 35 of $784, 219 and paid 26.4% in Federal Income tax. Bush also gave 10% of his income to charity - congratulations George W. Bush. <
We did not have to face trillions of debt from our parents and we should not pass that debt to our children! This statement was made on a diffrent thread, but it has relavents here. If those who built up the national debt and earned the services provided making it and do not pay for all those s
I get my info from having to pay tax on a lousy $50K inheritance. Not to be insensitive, but how much free money did you get? That inheritance is income, and income is to be taxed. If I had a choice of you paying tax on free income or me having my taxes raised. I'm going to be a just as greedy as you
1. Income Tax is Incoming money from somewhere and it has been placed into you bank account or wallet. When anyone receives money from an estate it is income. You may not like it, but it is true. 2. If the Government does not get the money from this tax, they will get it from another tax. I would rather be taxed from money that I did not earn (all though my mom has made me feel like I have earned it), then from the money I did earn with m
CENTRISTS, Cool. I'm right where I thought I would be. A moderate independent. I'm just more vocal on my conservative issues, because Democrats seem to rub me the wrong way as of late.
thats why 9/11 happened demo protects this nation not send them to war to set a higher number of solider deaths than the vietnam republicians are war heads and will get everyone killed! What? It is just interesting how people love to call Vietnam a Republican war. Since it was JF
Look at the RPG vulnerability of the M113, take a ride in one, then do the same in a Stryker. I'm not comparing the Stryker to a M113 rolling coffin, a vehicle that has been almost completely removed from the Army inventory. The M113 chassis is only used in
5.4% is higher then 3.7%. I just want to continue to put this uneployment numbers into perspective yet again. That 3.7% is conpared to the highest rate in 35 years. Also the 5.4% is lower then the Average Clinton years and the 35 year average. Lets not forget the effects of having to pull the nation
I think your LTC Kurilla is padding his numbers. The ARMY Times April 11, 2005 has published the official numbers: Report cites concerns from 1st combat tour by Mathew Cox Out of the 345 documented hostile acts against Stryker vehicles and their crews in Iraq to date, there have been 17 deaths. These attack have resulted in 28 "vehicle losses". _________
We French do not use mass murder, we use free love. No maybe you don't use mass murder, but your willing to just stand there and watch it happen. Errr. Rwanda.... Look at all the times France has sent troops to Africa in the name of peace, only to let your
considering Jesus was jewish IMO Jesus was as much of a Jew as David Koresh and the Branch Davidians was Christian.
"In three separate ceremonies in the three capitals on Dec. 17, 1992, President Bush, Mexican President Salinas, and Canadian Prime Minister Mulroney signed the historic North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). The framework agreement proposed to eliminate restrictions on the flow of goods, services, and investment in North America. The House of Representatives approved NAFTA, by a vote of 234 to 200 on N
Sorry double post
Why is it that no one called for pulling the plug back then? Ohh, but even at that time Clinton took flax for supporting it too, mostly from the Anti-Global wacko left and Isolationist right (yes, they do exist dabe). Yet, it was Bush Sr. who had done all the leg work for NAFTA, Clinton only helped pus
I will here the incoming rounds for this one..... I'm a free trader. I think that an economically healthy Mexico and Allies is the best think there is. We had free trade with Japan, Germany and England for years. Two of which started from ground zero and are now vital trading partners. I would support (and have supported) presidents of both parties in this area, when it comes to free trade with Allies and Democracies. What ticks m
Thursday, March 31, 2005 Associated Press NEW YORK — Jane Fonda says her 1972 visit to a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft gun site, an incident that brought her the nickname "Hanoi Jane," was a "betrayal" of American forces and of the "country that gave me privilege." "The image of Jane Fonda, 'Barbarella,' Henry Fonda's daughter ... sitting on an enemy aircraft gun was a betrayal ... the largest lapse of judgment that I can e
It's reported recently that the Abrams tank, the multi million dollar one, most armored and capable in the field, is proving very stoppable in Iraq. Yes it maybe stoppable, but there has not been one crew member killed yet. That’s the true mantel of a tank. No tank is unstoppable. Tracks can be blown
He suggested a return to major combat operations for the M113 APC. As an active soldier, thoughts like this send chills down my spine. Don't pull me in one of the slow rolling coffins ever again. I have seen what the old LAW, on the practice range, can do to one first hand. The RPG used in Iraq has a
Iraq repeatedly broke their peace treaty with the UN and the "US" (we are the primary signature on the document) from the 1991 Gulf War. That is the only authorization we needed to invade. A peace treaty is not worth the paper it is on, if knowone follows or enforces it. Ask the French and British what happens if peace treates are not enforced. WMD or not, the invasion had only been delayed far
