This is a political forum that is non-biased/non-partisan and treats every person's position on topics equally. This debate forum is not aligned to any political party. In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold. We are here to discuss them in a civil political debate. If this is your first visit to our political forums, be sure to check out the RULES.

Gore's blaring hypocracy
(shrug) I don't believe your claims without proof, of course, but more to the point they don't really matter, because even if you are correct, that dosn't change the fundimantal point I made above. This IS the best way to solve the problem. We need to create a global carbon trading market... -

Gore's blaring hypocracy
Yes, he's invested vast amounts of his own money into companies that are trying to solve the problem of carbon emissions by using the kind of free-market methods that most economists support. He's putting his money where his mouth is. And he dosn't have to "buy credits from himself". The... -

...she opposes the war because her son was a soldier who died in the war. So I hardly think she's going to support buring troops in effegy. -

Gore's blaring hypocracy
How much energy Gore uses is absolutly irrelevent. It's just an attempt to try and confuse the issue by an ad hominum attack on the messanger by people who know they can't argue with the message. And it's such a stupid, stupid thing to try to attack someone with; are they going to count how... -

You won't see these pictures in the left wing media.
No, but there was a recent case where a group of pro-war counterdemonstrators surrounded a anti-war protesting woman who was there with her young daugher, took the sign she was carrying from her and destroyed it, threatened her, and might have done worse if the police hadn't seperated them. Are... -

You won't see these pictures in the left wing media.
Unless someone's breaking the law, people who start a rally don't really have a whole lot of control over what happens there. Again, are you suggesting that those idiots SHOULD have been given the media attention they clearly were craving? Why? -

Gore's blaring hypocracy
I find it bizzare that all these Republicans are pissed off at Gore for having a big house and therefore using more energy then average. He's rich, in large part because he's a very sucessfull buisnessman. Are you suggesting that sucessfull buisnessmen should not be allowed to have big houses... -

Should Alberto Gonzales be fired?
If he lied to congress under oath, then he should be fired, no question. And it sounds like he was lying when he claimed there was "no political motivation behind the firing". The second, even more serious, issue here is if he on the behest of Karl Rove trying to get rid of prosecutors who... -

You won't see these pictures in the left wing media.
I certanly agree with you on that point, and it's clear that the person who did that was a hateful idiot, and I would say not at all representitive of the anti-war movement in general. What I don't agree with is your attempt to suggest that the fact that the media didn't cover that somehow... -

The Fiction Of Church And State
...you don't see how having it written into the federal law that children in every publically funded school in the country repeat ever single day they're in school from the age of 6 to the age of 18 that we're "one nation under God" might be considered as the government supporting religion? To... -

John Bolton on the Daily Show
...clearly it was not just Armitage. We know Libby also talked to reporters, and there was evidence in the Libby trial that suggest Karl Rove may have done so as well. -

You won't see these pictures in the left wing media.
So...you're attacking the media for NOT showing detailed and insulting pictures of an anti-war rally from someone on the crazy left burning a soldier in effegy? I would think that getting that kind of picture on the news is exactally what the person who did that wanted. In fact, if they HAD... -

Has Bush made this country better?
That's not at all what I said. I never said I wanted to "punish" the rich. But yes, people who can afford to pay more should pay more, that's just common sense. You can't get blood from a stone, and if you tax the working poor more heavily, it will be much harder for them to get basic... -

Conservatives -Still comfortable with Giuliani?
But primaries tend to have the opposite effect. The average person who votes in the Republican party primaries is far to the right of the average voter in the country; in most states, democrats can't vote in republican party primaries, nor can registered independents, and even most registered... -

Has Bush made this country better?
The idea is that the rich have a might higher % of their money avalable. If a person makes $20,000 a year, then most of it will go to food, shelter, bills, gas, clothing, and other costs they can not avoid. They only have a small % of their money left to start with, so taking a high % of...
