Exactly. Palin no one takes seriously, even those in her party. She has no power. Pelosi on the other hand is actively destroying the USA, while everyone is screaming about Palin.
Call it what it is. We should deprive some people of their power and give it to others. Land of the free*. *as long as you are a minority, then you are free to legally steal from the majority.
When was slavery a contract? Did I miss the part where the jews(or blacks) signed away their rights? And again, its funny that you think that the government refusing to legislate contracts is "pro-rape". I used that term mockingly, you didnt get that you were the one being mocked.
No, like, i totally agree with you, at least the part about the emails. The irrational scrutiny wasn't about the release of the emails, it was the attention that they received before anything was even found. She is a minor player in the GOP, yet she gets more media attention and scrutiny than major players on both sides. I want everyone to get scrutinized, not minor players.
Choosing not to pass a law either means they are pro-business, OR that that law isnt something that they can / should legislate about. Look, this isnt about "protecting businesses over individuals", its about "government not putting legal obligations on international contracts". Maybe, just Maybe the government not getting involved in international business affairs is better than the protection it could have provided via a mandatory anti rape clause.
This is(or was) the land of the free, but that doesn't last long when people (yes, you) start deciding what is right and wrong for people.
Is this an open and shut case on the surface? Yeah, it is, but step back and ask yourself if you are -really- okay with the government creating a law that 1) Opens the door for future abuse and 2) They questionably dont have the right to pass.
I hate to sound "pro-rape" here, but a contract is a willing agreement between 2 people. Do you want the government worming its way in the middle, even with the best of intentions?
There is a reason we have courts, where such ridiculousness can be brought to justice, but then again, there is a reason we have freedom as well.
lol. justify everything with jobs or infrastructure or decreased use of fossil fuels. Guess what? WE DONT HAVE THE MONEY. full stop. cut programs, raise taxes, eat the rich, do whatever you want to do to get money, then we can argue about what to spend it on.
2b isnt a lot, haha you sound like a politician. "I dont care if we dont have the money to pay for it. . . think about the environment!". To which i respond "Think about a defaulting treasure auction", but no one wants to talk about that, which WILL happen in the next 10 years, we can just talk about climate change. sigh@america
Gimme a break. soy production for direct consumption vs grains to grow a cow. compare the land needed per pound of food that we eat.
My point is that a single person going vegan or vegetarian is america environmentally is better than 50 people choosing a prius over a civic. Do the math.
blah blah. your false dichotomy is that you think the best way to counter our impact on the environment is to impact it less. I think the best way is to revert the changes. If you dont want to leave footprints on the beach you can either 1) not walk on the beach, 2) walk lightly or 3) just cover up your footprints. The global warming nuts fail to address solutions that would cool the planet (release high atmosphere particulate). Yeah, fine. its a complex system you say, and i agree. But end of the day buying a prius over a civic is a colossal waste of time and money. Want to help the atmosphere? Send money to China and India to help bring their factories up to last century pollution standards, dont pretend that bringing america up from "great" to "slightly above great" is a good use of money.
Your "use less" philosophy is just something to make you feel good.
If you -actually- believed any of that you would be a vegan living in the wild. But you arent. You use electricity and cars and support the killing of the other living things on the earth just as much as the next guy. Be mature enough to admit it.
The pilot of our company (small) plane can tell before we take off if anyone has their cell phone on or not. Every time. I dont know how, but he can tell.
fly in a small plane. It can take a lightning hit, but a cell phone that is on will mess up the representational landing / takeoff. Been there, done that. Any small plane pilot can tell if a cell phone is on during takeoff, just as most have been in a plane that was struck by lightning.

You. . . do realize that the corporations arent -actually- raping people. . . .dont you?

Yes. Republicans are pro-rape. You hit it on the head. Congratulations.
Find me the last time that Biden was asked a trivia question by a reporter.
I would like to introduce you to Joe Biden, Vice President and first in line to become POTUS. . . . . You were saying?
Funny, i think that Nancy Pelosi, her polar opposite, is "all that is BAD in the USA". Want to compare the two?
Its not people that support her that are calling all this attention to her, its the people that have the irrational dislike/hatred of her.

money saved is money earned.
. . . Are you so naive to think that a congressman wasting 2b actually effects elections?
The problem is not about answering the question, its that the question takes 2 billion we dont have to answer.

Why is the second case cheaper per month? no data plan? THEN WHY UPGRADE YOUR VOICE ONLY iPHONE EACH YEAR?
wait, are you implying that just because you didn't have oral sex at the age of 15 you were transformed into a sexual deviant?
mod parent up
you mean as you learned from SNL?
