john mcain , i am just wondering have we not seen enough killing already or we really stupid enough not to really pay attention to things that this guy has done or we just wanna kill every one in the world. john mcain was one of the guys who got us into killing iraqs. dont the american people remember macain singing boom boom boom iran only a few months ago or they dont want to. in his last speech i hear him said that he knows how to deal we iran dont we all know what that means. killing innocent people without knowing anything about them but killing them anyway because macain said so an called them evil. are we just stupid or we enjoy feeling powerful by invading and killing other people?

If there are any Republicans, or Republican Supporters on i want answers to these questions.
How is it fair, that the top 1 percent pay 15% while the majority of the middle class pays 34% of there income in taxes.
How do you justify spending more and more money overseas while pushing to cut spending on America?
How dose this make you Pro- American, seems to me its anti american. You take our taxes spend it overseas and then take away the benifits of Americans by cutting federal funding for College, School, Infustructure (the highway behing my house in Iowa is fallin apart because fed funding has lapsed)

dont you think that the only reason John Edwards is not the front runner is that he is a white male and in a way he is being discriminated?

dont you think that instead of 50 debates and talking about the same subjects on each and everyone of them it would have been a lot better if there were only 10 to 20 debates where they discussed one subject on each debate thus we get to really know what these folks are trying to say

Anyone else watchin the debate now? Why do they let them get away with LIEing about the war. Or just repeating the same bullshit over and over ie what Macain keeps doing (what the hell happened to that guy, he was like the only sane republican for a while there. Think he might be having a Vietnam flashback or at least thinking in some way hes fighting that war.)

Resistance to the Baby Boomers...Is it Futile?

Hey Bill and fellow fans,
I am a twenty something year old voter who truly wants "change." It's my generation who is presently fighting in Iraq. Now we didn't, as a whole, vote in the 2004 election and that's a disappointment...but after overwhelming damage from the Bush administration, we rallied in Iowa to vote for a change. I endorse on the Democrat side, Obama and Edwards for one point only: I believe that they truly believe in bringing about a change. More so, Obama is like "Mr.Smith Goes to Washington"/my generation's John F.Kennedy-young, maybe naive, but hopeful for change. Anyway, if New Hampshire and soon to be South Carolina tells us anything, it's that our votes may not matter...since the Baby Boomer generation make up the majority of votes. I'm sure that if Sen.Clinton wins the nomination and overall election that there will be exactly no change but a plethora of political compromises and selling out...yet, what can I do as a young voter? Shouldn't my generation's voting count since we're inherently fighting the war in Iraq? Will our endorsement of Obama or Edwards really be in vain?

even if the democrats win how different do u think things will be? every 4 years the American people are promised so many things during the election but after it is over. the govt does the same thing. my seven year old nephew didnt have a math book for 2 months in a public school system but we can spend billions of dollars for another country's economy.

Hi Bill,
Why EXACTLY do you think that people hate Hillary so much? It baffles me.
Thanks.

I love your show. I really do. But i think its about time you give religion the chance to defend itself. You dont need a religious leader or public figure to have a nice debate about religion. What you need is someone who actually represents the faith, but doesnt act like they know it all. Someone who can clear most of your misunderstandings about religion, and believe me they are many. Especially your last show where the homosexual guy(i dont remember his name) interviewed a bunch of people and made them look bad. In case you didnt know, most of the stuff he said was completely off the mark. I think its about time you give someone like me a chance to defend religion, whether it be on air, or and online debate. Thank you.

Hi Bill,
Can you help me out and explain the math on computing this 4% unemployment rate? Seems to me that is it much greater than that. Are you still unemployed after your benefits run out and still don't have a job? Or, what about the "used to be middle class" working in Wal-Mart instead of our closed manufacturing plants? Just curious. Thanks.

For the Panel-
If the powers that be are so concerned with everyone voting, why isn't election day a national holiday, where a majority of people can have the day off to vote?

Hey Bill,
Question, I consider myself a fairly intelligent person. I am curious as to why you never have non-celebrity folks on . People who have nothing to with pop culture. I hate to use the term "regular people". But I would like to be a guest on your panel. I would like to get a chance to state my beliefs just to see how the viewers of your show would respond to that format. Thanks MLJ
