    Did It Happen Too Soon For Democrats?

    Well, this would make sense. Except that the Democrats held the majority for a long time before this short period, and the Republicans have held it since 1994. I think it's virtually impossible that they would somehow lose again in 2008.

    FOX ratings in freefall.

    Because it shows it's not some random guy making this crap up... aka the message is true, stop attacking the messenger.

    FOX ratings in freefall.

    People like you suck. The guy links to a report of ratings as listed here: http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/original/feb06vs05.pdf ...as written by mediabistro, a site that publishes media ratings for several different types of media (for example, the report has ratings for CNN, MSNBC...

    Your Child is Homosexual

    They are the same word in different forms, saying that something has no "affect" is gramatically incorrect. Affect is the verb, effect is the noun. For example: "The bill affected the economy." "The bill caused an effect on the economy."

    Your Child is Homosexual

    Honestly, I don't really know. I'd probably think otherwise, but in the context of my post, though, the freedom of choice that I considered was his freedom to choose to be open about his sexuality, and his freedom to identify himself as a homosexual.

    Your Child is Homosexual

    I would be proud that my son told me, at least. Other than that I would be neutral, it's his sexuality, not mine, and I would give him the freedom to choose whatever he wanted as long as he was safe, happy, and out of danger.

    George Bush: The Leader

    :applaud Excellent post. I couldn't have said it any better myself.

    Explain Your Reasoning.

    That still doesn't prove why it's immoral to terminate the pregnancy. Life doesn't prove being. The fetus that became me was hardly the same as I am now or even right at birth. I am a full-fledged human being, a fetus is a group of cells working to become a full-fledged human being. That is why...

    Did the founders intend this to be a Christian nation?

    Indeed - the founding fathers could not take as rigid of a stance as they probably wished to, their absolute cooperation and occasional lenience was done only to hold the nation together during a period of time in which radicalism was seen as a justification for political isolation, something...

    Explain Your Reasoning.

    Alive? Depends on how you really define what life is, what being a human being is. Abortion is not about being "alive" or "dead", it's about being a human life, something that can really be considered a human and has a life that is necessary to protect over the safety of its mother. I use the...

    How conservative / liberal are you?

    On this one I was... OK, coordinate geometry time.... -2, -8... so I'm a leftist libertarian. Yay anarchy!* * Not really.

    Abortion is here to stay . . . . thank Prochoice Bush . . .

    Way to dodge the comment. I agree with Gandhi>Bush... and that's what I've been trying to tell you all along. I know enough about Christianity to tell that it is not intended to be a means for spreading hate.

    Abortion is here to stay . . . . thank Prochoice Bush . . .

    You identified him as a God-hater, with no proof, no substantial backing. It was a person attack. 1. That doesn't prove that God hates me, it only proves that I have corrupted myself, which is irrelevant. 2. My statement doesn't imply that God doesn't exist, it only implies that I do not know...

    Affirmative Action....come On!

    I assume that the black man is in more need of a job because blacks are traditionally discriminated against during job application processes. Additionally, it's not fair to let the company discriminate against minorities even if it is a bad decision from a business point of view - that may be an...

    Abortion is here to stay . . . . thank Prochoice Bush . . .

    That makes no sense. That's almost like suing someone for fighting back in self defense when you're the one holding the smoking gun the whole time. Maybe I'd have to make less "unsubstantiated claims" (when did I make a claim in the first place?) and "off point comments" (pardon using the word...
