Opinions
Citizens should not be required by law to vote. Voting should only be done by those who make the effort to do so.
A presidential pardon should be available before and after a conviction.
Jimmy Carter was one of the worst presidents ever. Nice guy, terrible president.
Tom Daschle was not a good choice to be Barack Obama's Secretary of Health and Human Services. As it turns out, no.
Rush Limbaugh's comments about "wanting President Obama to fail" were not appropriate. Elections over. It's time to get behind our leaders. Most importantly, we need to be praying that our creator will give them wisdom.
Banks should be required to return TARP funds they cannot prove are being used to ease credit. And if the funds were used for something other than easing of credit, they need to be taken to court. They would not hesitate for one second to do the same to us if we took out a fraudulent loan with them.
The boos for President Bush at Barack Obama's inauguration were not appropriate. Booing belongs in the ballpark, along with the beer and the hotdogs. If someone is unhappy with an elected official, they should take it out at the voting booth. Crass and immature behavior at best.
The U.S. should store nuclear waste in Yucca Mountain, Nevada.
The U.S. military should increase troop levels in Afghanistan.
Ronald Reagan was one of the best presidents ever.
It is not appropriate for a sign that reads, "Religion is but myth and superstition that hardens hearts and enslaves minds" to appear on government property alongside religious displays. Actually, by doing it, they've made themselves look childish and mean spirited. And isn't that the reason they don't like religions and deities to begin with?
Rush Limbaugh has had a neutral impact on the Republican Party. Like all the other "talking heads" out there, he's just entertainment. Very little of what he says is what you might call deep thoughts. Just repeating what he may read or hear from others.
Janet Napolitano is not a good choice for U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security. Strictly a political appointment. Done to pay off a post-election favor.
Sarah Palin had neither a positive or negative impact on John McCain's candidacy. John McCain could have had Obama for a running mate and he still would not have won that election.
Senator Larry Craig should not resign.
The U.S. should act to stop the genocide in Darfur, Sudan.
Colin Powell's endorsement of Barack Obama will not have a significant impact on the 2008 presidential election.
The government should never permit late term abortions.
George W. Bush was one of the best presidents ever.
Barack Obama has run a more negative campaign than John McCain.
Barack Obama's association with Bill Ayers is a legitimate concern. If McCain was associated with David Duke, the Left would have eaten him alive already.
Gun control should primarily be a state issue.
The 2008 vice presidential debate ended in a draw.
Elected officials should always be prosecuted when they break the law.
Israel should not support the creation of a Palestinian state.
Early voting should be permitted. With restrictions on where and how.
Sarah Palin will not withdraw from the Republican ticket.
The U.S. should not act unilaterally against terrorist targets inside Pakistan if their government is unwilling to do so. Violating the Pakastani boarder is not an option as long as we consider them one of our allies.
The legal voting age should not be lower than 18.
Gwen Ifill's performance as moderator of the 2008 Vice Presidential debate was satisfactory.
The McCain campaign should make Sarah Palin more available to the media. The media being those who want to ask legitimate questions. Those who hate her and want to insult and belittle her (ie: Catty Couric) need not ask.
The government has a responsibility to keep Social Security as is for those already invested in the program. The vast majority of people over fifty in this country have lived their entire lives paying into and depending on SS to suppliment their retirement.
Venezuela's socialist reforms will have a negative effect on Latin America. Just ask the people of Georgia how well it worked out for them.
Media coverage of Sarah Palin has not been fair. The insulting and belittling remarks coming from the elitist media have just made her more popular with those who distrust them.
Sarah Palin is qualified to be the President of the United States.
General election debates should include third party candidates.
Vice presidential candidates do influence the outcome of elections. For me they sure do!
John McCain is more substantive than Barack Obama.
John McCain is not exploiting his POW experience. That's like saying JFK exploited his Naval experience on PT 109
Joseph Biden was not a good choice for Obama's vice presidentialial candidate.
