436. Why is it the politicians in this country have nothing better to do that bash each others parties?
I am really aggrivated to see such mundane and childish behavior by grown men/women whom we've voted in to represent us...the majority of Americans I hardly doubt agree with the behavior they exhibit.
And secondly...When is AMERICA going to get it right and how much do we have to lose before we wake up to the facts President Bush is trying to make us finally understand? I couldn't agree with him more on the terriorism issues...we NEED TO WATCH OUR BACKS, this is no game!

437. Dear Mr. Sam Donaldson: Could you please tell me which party is best suitable to run our Country to defend us against the Islamo facists -- Democrats or the Republicans?
In your opinion is it true that Militant Islam intends to conquer our world?  Their long-range plans call for the converting, enslaving or butchering of non-believers or “infidels”. According to the experts, we are currently losing the battle on our own soil for a variety of reasons – in particular, due to political correctness and apathy. Our Islamist enemies perceive us to be weak and lacking in the resolve to fight for our very way of life.
Do you agree that time is running out and we need to support those who are engaged on the very front lines of this noble battle. America must unite and stand fearlessly against these aggressors.
I'm looking forward to your opinion. Thank you.

438. PUTTING JUNVILLES ON TRIAL AS ADULTS SEEMS OUT OF CHARACTER. I ALWAYAS ASK, WHEN DOES THE PUNISHMENT STOP AND THE VENGANCE TAKE OVER. I KNOW ALOT OF THESE KIDS NEVER GOT A DECENT BREAK OR SUPPORT WHILE GROWING UP, BUT TO PUT THEM BEHIND BARS FOR LIFE, MAKES ME WONDER, IF THIS KID WILL EVER GET A BREAK

439. Mr. Donaldson: Why do you think that the cost of the Iraqi war/ Halliburton story has no legs, no impact on the election?

440. One of the things that confuses me most is when George Bush and his administration counters negative remarks about the Iraq war by saying at least it's keeping 'them' out of America and away from Americans. Let me say this: Each and every American should be made aware that every time one of our military is attacked, injured or killed in Iraq, the enemy HAS reached America. How dare the President of the U.S. and the Commander of Chief of the military discount our military this way...as if to infer they are no longer a part of our country once they have left its boundaries.

441. Sam;

i did not know that you were still alive. Thats how irrevalant your liberal views and the drive by media is.

442. Sam- Is Congress at all concerned about the vulnerability of electronic voting or is it a nonissue for them? As a citizen, do I have the right to demand that my vote be cast on a traceable paper ballot at my polling site?

443. How could anybody interested in TRUTH vote for Republicans unless they are a religious nut or in the top 5% in income?

444. When in HELL are we going to be able to get rid of the X senators, X congressmen,and X Secretaries, and get some new blood in the advisory positions of our goverment??????

445. Hi Sam - How do you rationalize the rise in the Democrat's poll numbers in their ability to fight terrorism when Nancy Pelosi has voted against just about everything related to fighting terrorism ?

446. I believe we desperately need to rid ourselves of the Bush administration and will vote for the dems, but with corruption in Congress so rampant will the dems be any better after Bush and friends are gone? Our democracy is in trouble and is in danger of becoming a plutocracy with only the wealthiest in a position to run for office and I really believe we must get corporate money out of politics by making it a publicly-funded scheme. I think we need to impeach Bush and Cheney to make an example of them. What do you think?

447. Sam: How old are you? Nag

448. Why cant the news service just publish all the voting records of all. Than we can compare the record to their current statements. I feel it's not what they but what the record says "actions speak louder than words"

Don Broomall at 5:51PM on Oct 21st 2006

449. You Democrats just don't get it, do you. Just relax and stay home like you always do; like Sean Hannity has ordered you to. You're never going to win another election anyway, so why bother? You know why? Because we OWN the voting machines, you numbskulls! Its just like Outer Limits; We will control the outcome of every election. We did it in 2000. We did it in 2004. And we're going to do it to you again in 2006! And there's nothing you can do about it! WE HAVE THE MAJORITY! And we're not letting it go! By January, 2009, we'll have a 2/3 majority, and then you Dems won't be able to walk down the street without a big blue "D" sewn onto your shoulder! And that goes for the Greens, the Libertarians, the Socialists, and all the other independents running around trying to "make the world a better place." Like Sean said, stay home on Election Day! You bottom-95 percent don't have the business savvy to run a country, so leave it to us and our corporate sponsors. We'll take care of America and keep it strong, no matter WHO we have to invade and conquer. Stay home and watch your soaps on Nvoemer 7!

450. IN MY OPINION WHEN REPUBLICANS TALK ABOUT TERRORISM THEY ACT LIKE IT ONLY COMES FROM OUTSIDE
THE UNITED STATES.
WITH ALL THE MONEY THAT HAS BEEN DOLED OUT IN THIS
COUNTRY---I THINK MOST PEOPLE WOULD AGREE THAT CRIME
IS RISING FASTER THEN EVER IN (MOST AREAS) WE ARE
SUPPOSE TO BE BETTER PREPARED---WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO START DOING THE JOB-THEY ARE BEING VERY WELL PAYED FOR DOING---IN SHORT QUIT CHASING THE PEOPLE
THAT REALLY DONT CARE ABOUT THERE COUNTRY...SEND THE ARMED FORCES HOME---AND CLEANUP THE U.S.A.
