421. A reporter recently indicated he has asked the following question of many top legislators & intelligence officials with virtually NO ONE up-to-speed on distinctions for our "enemies"...
"What is the difference between Sunnis & Shiites?

422. What makes you think your liberal biased answers could help our country in a time where our politicians are cruelly divided? Can you answer questions without adding fuel to the fire? However, since this seems to be the only avenue I can find to have my voice heard, where has our common sense gone? It sickens me to listen to ALL politicians; I tell my children they are only out for themselves. As a republican I want Rumsfeld out of office. Why does the President not understand Rumsfeld is finished? Also, I am losing my proud heritage as an American, who is going to step up and change our image?

423. do you think that the media need to sensational news led the media to accept the weapons of mass destruction argument without much questioning or was it a bias to accept anything that came out of the early Bush administration as true

425. Hi Sam......I find it odd, that in the private sector, things like the psyhcological fitness of an individual is considered fair game during an investigation. Lately, we have seen that an un-nerving volume of polititions (as well as corporate figureheads)appear to suffer from various forms of what is usually diagnosed as a mental illness. Pathological liars, sex deviates, passive-aggressives, and others have been affecting the stability, image, financial security, national security ,physical health and future of this country and it's citizens (as well as those in other countries)
Many of these so called leaders, and I will single out bush, cheney and rumsfeld, have such obvious conditions, that a first year psych major could diagnose them. They are so blatently sick, that it's an imbarrassment. One can see that they are usually lying with a glance when they speak. What gives?

426. When Pres. Bush says that members of Congress who voted for the war had the same informatio he had re WMD this is not true. He withheld information from the FBI and the CIA which indicated that WMD and the attempt to get nuclear weapons was questionable. Why do people who interview the Pres. or his top aids not hold them to the facts. When Katie Couric interviewed Dr. Rice she asked about WMD and Saddam's attempt at nuclear weapons. Dr. Rice gave the same answer the Pres. always gives and Katie didn't challenge her at all. Certainly Katie is aware of the facts.

427. Sam,
Why are you so sanctimonious? You monopolize the conversation at the Round Table on This Week with George Stephanopolous and look so smug when you make a contribution.

Art Jensen at 5:03PM on Oct 21st 2006

428. Sam,

Why can't any of the newsmedia report on the failure of both parties to address the issues facing this country....and comment that the lobbyists organizations on all levels are absolutely, without fail, ruining the country...with all politicians raising their palms up to pass legislation favorable to the interests of lobbyists - rather than their constitutents. ? Sadly, neither party helps the people of the USA...Meanwhile the super highway connecting Canada to Mexico is being secretely built... The antics of the Bush Adminstration is enough, in my view, to warrant impeachment - for dereliction of duty - if nothing else. PLUS, the incorrect data used to "sell" the horrible Iraq1 War to Americans, alone is enough, in my view, to impeach.

429. Is there any organization that can inform the public on where the candidates REALLY stand ... what they really have done right and wrong so far? I am so tired of negative campaign ads that keep on saying that so and so has does this wrong and that wrong. I want to know the truth for once.

431. If you don't trust any of your government-Republicans or Democrates. Tired of all the pre-election hype, yet know it is your duty to vote, what do you do?

Nancy at 5:09PM on Oct 21st 2006

432. Do we Americans really need to have Republicans and Democrats? After all, they all work for the goverment.This just seems to cause more hate and disrepect among politicians than I would even let my children watch on TV.

C. Reed at 5:12PM on Oct 21st 2006

433. Hi Sam my question is two fold. Do you think there are any honest politicians or are they all self serving? Next what are your thoughts on the two party system, is it there so that the American people can be used as pawns because let's face it if we were all on the same page and looking out for one another we really wouldn't need all these politicians. I guess to put it all in a nut shell is our present political system like championship wrestling and if so who pulls the strings :-). Thanks Mike.

Mike Stover at 5:34PM on Oct 21st 2006

434. Thanks for fielding questions, Mr. Donaldson! My question is this:

What can the news media do to insure that our elections this November 7 are fair and honest?

It is SUCH a crucial election, and we need to insure that every American's vote is readily received and honestly counted! With no paper trail in place along with hackable Diebold and other electronic machines being used in key districts, AMERICA NEEDS its ACTIVE FOURTH ESTATE. Thank you.
