  1. Re:compatibility? on Justice Dept. Approves XM/Sirius Merger · · Score: 1

    It will broadcast over both... at least for the foreseeable future . If you have XM now you will just get XM+Sirius when they flip that switch.

    I am looking forward to getting Playboy radio back.

  2. Youtube status on Pakistan Blocks YouTube · · Score: 1

    I am actually not for Ron Paul. My candidate of choice is irrelevant.

    However I am most concerned with voter education. If someone looks at Hillary or Obama and says "I agree with their positions and their methods to obtain that goal" I am as happy as can be. I am just trying to make people think about the person instead of "He looks nice" or "I hate him" Its a problem on both sides of the isle but at least in my experience prevalent within the supporters of certain people. which makes the candidate no less viable or in fact makes them any less able to do a good job, just a statement as to a portion of their supporters.

    180 is right out of iraq in to iran. "Iran's government as 'a threat to all of us,' stating that the US 'should take no option, including military action, off the table'(wikipedia) Its really just a redirection of the same policy, combating those who *could* pose a threat to the us.

    How is he actually going to fix lobbying. already they can't give money or valued items. they can't share a meal. Its pretty damn restricted.

    health care: 'No American will be turned away from any insurance plan because of illness or pre-existing conditions.' This sounds very nice but more than triples the cost of health care for people because of 2 things...1st being that people who will cost the company millions must be let in (think late term cancer patient) with no chance of recouping that cost. The second is that people would not carry health insurance until they have a problem then pick it up when their problem is fixed drop it again. think about a car insurance company paying out on damages that occurred before you bought their or any policy. They and the health insurance companies (who have employees with families) would be out of business in weeks.

    my candidate has long time of voting against wasteful spending and not voting for tax cuts without resulting spending cuts.

    Deregulation of the health care industry

    a thought out and well deliberated procedure for national security (instead of rash actions)

    Protection of the rights of the constitution without the right to feeling safe.

    I have read much in the Christian texts. There is nothing that implies that I should force my fellow man to live up to my morals, with the primary exception being that of evangelizing the word of God.

    "Would you be angry at anyone who thinks the Constitution should be changed to match their moral standards?" -- Yes. The constitution is set to protect the interests of EVERYONE and to not be jaded by the prevailing view of the day. It is one of the finest documents ever written (by its scope and what it leaves out intentionally).

    Prime example: I personally think that the Christian view is that abortion is wrong. It however is quite wrong to amend the constitution simply to match the constitution. Furthermore, the federal government should have no say in that at all being that it is neither of national security or interstate relations.

  6. Re:Obama's Birth Certificate on Best Presidential Candidate, Democrats · · Score: 1
    McCain was born on american controlled soil, to american parents.

    That is quite clearly within the intent of natural born citizen, being that its purpose is to prevent foreign influence. As for obama...i have no clue

  7. "Change" on Best Presidential Candidate, Democrats · · Score: 1
    I have heard for months that Obama is for Change.

    What i want to know is what he is actually going to change and how.

    Visiting his website includes mindless droll like he will promote civil liberties, which i didn't realize was a nationwide issue.

    I have yet to have a fanatical obama supporter tell me what he is in fact going to change ...please please prove me wrong.

  8. Summaries on Best Presidential Candidate, Republicans · · Score: 1

    People are fanatical about Ron Paul but too naive to vote more than once for him.

    Romney is running scared "McCain is like Hillary".

    Huckabee forgot the whole freedom of religion part in the constitution.

    McCain isn't as conservative as Limbaugh or O'Reiley. (I actually consider that a good thing)
