31. Mr. Donaldson,

Do you think that, regardless of which candidates win, the opposing candidate/party is preparing to file legal action based on voting irregularities?
(Too bad, all states don't adopt our mail-in voting here in Oregon.)

32. Sam, have not known who to ask this, you may not know however would like to try. Where does the money come from to pay for the WAR? Where does the money come from to take care of the wounded men and women when they come home and their broken famlies? Last but not least where did the money come from to fund the PANDA BEAR'S retreat at the Washington Zoo? Heard on CNN it was 53MILLION!!!!!!! and we can't take care of our own VET'S so Ive heard I may be wrong. Thank you for your reply, MiMi

33. It appears to me that we have used the sledge hammer approach as our diplomatic policy every since "W" got into office. Hit them with a sledge rather than trying some real negotiations.

34. Has anyone asked Bush how he proposes to resolve the centuried old conflict between the Sunnis and Shiites in Iraq so that when and if we pull out there will not be the major sectarian conflict involving Iran and mass slaughter?

35. How many more billions of dollars can the US spend on foreign programs at the expense of domestic programs?

36. Sam

why it took the bush administration so long to acknowledge their mistakes about Irag? They have been lieing to Americans since and before Irag invasion. Why should united states congress allowed them to get away with it? Was through intimidation and harrrassment or what? And finally, why is the media feeding in to their crap? The media must be blamed simple because I guess they are affiliated with the republicans. If media loves America, they must stand strong to these people for the sake of America. America reputation and trust have been tarnished tremendously worldwide even among our allies because of this administration behavior. They need to to be wiped out of the congress period.They can no longer be trusted. America is in troublr please help somebody. Thank you James

38. Mr. Donaldson, I would like to get your take on the comments made by Rush Limbaugh on the commercial's that Michael J. Fox has been airing?
It seems to me that the know it all Mr. Limbaugh knows more about the effects of Parkinson's than the people who have it.
My mother contracted Parkinson's in the middle 50's and lived with it for 29 years. I can attest that Parkinson's is a debilitating disease.
Mr. Limbaugh knows not of what he speaks. Mr. Limbaugh should worry mostly about his substance abuse and get cured. If Mr. Limbaugh works at it hard enough he might be cured unlike Parkinson's.
Mr. Limbaugh there is no cure for Parkinson's like there is no cure for cancer, etc.
Mr. Limbaugh stick to what you think you might know. Do not delve into areas that are alien to you.

39. I just wondered if I am the only one that is wondering why the Bush twins are not over there fighting the war? If I had a child that was over there fighting and they were killed, I would be very bitter about his girls not being sent over to fight this war.

40. why has it not been brought up about the claire mccaskill ad promoting stem cell research when the bill referred to has nothing to do with stem cell research and all to do with cloning? its just another democratic ploy to try and sway voters their way with the addition of michael j fox and his disease. there has been research on stem cell research and not once has it been proven that any of that work would help people with those types diseases. stem cell research is not against the law and if it was the be all, end all, that proponents that want federal help with it seem to think, why hasnt a private firm taken this and developed something that would help? if it is indeed such a great hope, why hasnt the private sector taken to it? there is not any federal money in oil exploration, but, i dont hear anyone pushing for more money to explore for that, only bashing the oil companies for their "outlandish" profits.

41. Hello,

As long as Americans are listening to that IDIOT with a professional wrestler's mentality, (please wrestlers, forgive me) Rush Limbaugh, I don't believe we will find many,if any, real conscientious politicians. Much of the public thrives on the screaming, yelling, vicious slander produced in elections and in the media.(Hence, the democratic chairman). I feel that America will never reach its potential as a country. How do you feel?

Michelle Burdette at 7:43PM on Oct 25th 2006

42. Why do we here in America seem to have so many crooks & liers in our churchs, public office and the business community? I have been " around" a long time,have been witness to some terrible action by " the clergy" who it seems generally to get ' A FREE PASS" from the " faithfull". I don't get it.

43. I grew up in a military household and I remember my dad being 'Alert / Readiness' status during the Viet Nam War. I am very concerned the USA has reached a point that Iraq has become another Viet Nam

44. How can any political efforts or issues be addressed or gauged when our entire voting system has been coopted by electronic voting companies run by personal friends of this administration, people who have literally stated they are dedicated to helping the Republicans win (as Diebold CEO told Bush in 2004)? These companies have hosted lavish cruises for Congress members, made their methods private and unmonitered by hiding behind copyright laws, and have computer programs which have been PROVEN to be completely hackable by even computer novices. Democrats are powerless to stop them because they don't control any branch of government, and I am convinced that they will not regain control as long as this is the way we vote. It's a catch-22. Until the very system by which our "democracy" runs is made unbiased and democratic, how can we have any hope of winning back any balance of power? The website www.votergate.org has a video with some very disturbing footage of how this massive problem is buried. Do you believe that electronic voting companies have tampered with elections or will do so? Does it disturb you that in the presidential election, our exit polls were even more inaccurate that the Ukranian elections that we insisted be held again? Do you believe that there is a danger of fraud in the midterm elections? Why aren't the media discussing this?

45. I am just not sure why this country is so divided over this war that must be fought!! wars are not something we cry baby americans can just turm off or quit supporting. we all need to support it 100%, we are still occupying all the countries we have been at war with today, i here no crap about that.
this is something that needs to be completed for our kid's future, and our country...
HELL, cnn IS POUNDING THE DRUMS LIKE THEY DID BEFORE THE IRAC WAR, for George to bomb North Korea. but if he did that what would be said??? I believe all the far left media and the asses that support that group should just leave this country, along with the fags.
