451. Mr. Donaldson:

Why is it that there is no media coverage of the crimes of the Bush family and/or how Mr. Bush's brother had vested interest in the Twin Towers prior to 9-11?

452. Sam why does every candadate for the president claim he can get the national budget in order ,none of them ever do.I think every politician should take a 10% pay cut and that includes previous presidents and that would solve that problem.There would be money for almost everything.

453. Do you think that America is forgetting that we are no longer fighting the fight against terrorism in the USA?

Freedom isn't free and the sooner we realize that the better we will be. May it be Republican or Democrat quit playing to the people play for them.

Thank you.

454. Sam, With all of the negative ads for who NOT to vote for, I noticed that there are actually very few positive ads - "this is who I am and what I stand for." Since both parties, acording to the negative ads, are criminals and should be locked up, is it fair to add up all of the negative ads I see and vote for the negative candidate since the other one has nothing to say for themself? Seriously... This negative ad thing has to stop.

455. Hi, Sam,

I thought you had died. Just wanted to say I'm glad I was wrong.

456. Hi Sam do you think that we should have a president that is a drunk and running the USA it just makes me alittle nervous hearing this news. This is more upsetting then having a president that can't speak english will hard to understand english anyway! Please share your thoughts and concerns. Thank you.

457. Why can we send our most personal information over the internet, by that I mean file income tax returns and yet, we cannot vote online? I feel as if this kind of ease, using your social security number, as you do for filing income taxes online, make it perfect. Why are so many opposed to voting online for elections? ESPECIALLY for those who are handicapped or disabled.
Sincerely,

458. Why are the major media just beginning to recognize the insults that this administration has given to the nation and the world? Why has the events comprising the history for today's dilemma just now being cautiously approached. Where is the journalistic zeal for inquiry? The major media, so far, has been an accessory to the lies and misinformation that has maintained support for the insanity of this administration. I have been angry (understatement) since James Baker brought the crowd from D.C. to Florida to beat on pots and pans in order to disrupt the recount of votes. Were any other citizen to disrupt the decorum of a state office building conducting such critical business, they would soon receive the wrath of the police state we live in. H. L. Mencken where are you?

459. At what point did we decide to invade a foreign country and impose our own form of government on its people? How, exactly, does this policy differ from that of the cold-war era Soviet Union?

460. Sam:
When are you and your fellow yellow journalist Boob Woodworth going to get the internal fortiude and run for office? You two have shamed the American press for years, but then I dont suppose either one of you give a damn as long as the big bucks keep rolling in,right? Are you guys trying to bring down our government, thinking that you will get a big fat job in some kind of dictatorship? If you are go back and read up on what dictators do to the press once they gain power. You people and the resst of the extereme liberals are the first to go meet your maker, then the lawyers and teachers. Please do your editorizing in the voting booth and just report the news without your personal bais for you do nothing for the country the way you are going at it now.

461. Dear Sam,
What are the roots of terrorism and what are the solutions to getting rid of it.

Harold Hensel at 6:50PM on Oct 21st 2006

462. Sam,
This one from a fellow New Mexican. Do you think we will get out of Iraq in one piece, and will it be soon.

Thanks for a great contribution to the media over so many years.

463. I fear our American system of freedom and liberty is in its final days. I have been equating the policies of the Bush Administration illustrated with this latest bill that essentailly elminates our right of habeas corpus and the concilatory role Congress has taken to the Enabling Act passed by the Reichstag in the early days of the Nazi regime in Germany. Are these fears in your view valid? What is your view?

Marc Lieberson at 12:58AM on Oct 22nd 2006

464. Mr. Donaldson, Are the people from Irak better or worse now after the Americans invaded and destroyed their country?

Beatriz Hoffius at 11:27PM on Oct 21st 2006

465. When either party has to use fear and/or religion to make their point, they should not be trusted.
What do you say.
