gee Mglatt, Don't you know that to use his middle name is "code" to imply that BO., is a muslim and that as a nation we fear muslims.There are a lot of misinformed Americans who would conclude he is not worthy to become the 44th President when he is in fact an excellent choice.

Hi Bill, Well we heard yet another story of the "dirty tricks dept " of the Bush Adm headed by chief "RAT FUCKER " Karl Rove. I was glad to see CBS retrieved some of their balls and aired the story about Alabama Gov Siegleman who was RAIL ROADED by Rove et al. When is someone going to investigate Rove and the "dirty tricks dept. That is my question to your panal. If they can get to a Gov is that why everyone is so fucking scared of these guys. Bush is a lame duck fuck with no credibility , it seems this would be a good time to go after these assholes once and for all. Alot of people would love to see Rove get a taste of his own medicine times ten. It is about time someone went after this political leech.

Hi Bill, I was wondering what you and your panel think about President Bush's revelation this week that he doesn't belief that we're in a recession? Is this just typical Bush denying the truth because it is happening under his watch?

If it's so obvious that our government lies to us about many issues, why do we Americans accept it and not try to form a new, more just system?

The Federal Auditor has not been able to confirm spending in either the Dept. Of Defence or Home Land Security and states that "less than 20% these dept. budgets are audit-able".
This doesn't include WAR SPENDING. How can any politician allow this to happen and expect to be re-elected?
Accountability should be added to change, as a campaign catch phrase.

Your words surprise me, epiphanyschwartz. Barak Obama is trying to win an election where a misstep can yield disastrous results. Obama has outlined his policy very clearly on his website:
http://www.barackobama.com/issues/
Here is another site with links to his speeches before the frenzy of the past 12 months censored his strong stand on the issues:
http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2008/01/in-his-own-word.html
There. Now you can educate yourself on what he really stands for. And if you ever wish to support a candidate for public office, you may want to have him or her study Obama's skill at turning 'sticky, overused tag lines' and 'canned charisma into votes at the poles.

Don Seigleman - 60 minutes story was so disturbing.
Political opponent jailed under very suspicious circumstances.
Main gov witness was coerced.
Story was censored / blacked out in AL.
Q: What the hell is going on - are we living in the soviet union?

Dear Bill-
Why is there such a disproportionate representation of a select cadre of religious groups in America? Over 20% of the adult population in America is non-Christian, and a growing number of young Americans seem accepting of secular humanism. How can we change our national political dialogue to better reflect this?

Do you honestly believe there is any real hope for our country? With the unmeasurable amount of insidious corruption and lying, the poor getting poorer, short of armed revolt, do you see any hope?

Bill,
did you notice Sec. of Defense Gates asking to Turkey to pull troops out of Iraq as soon as possible? Does this apply to the U.S. as well?......

When will a criticism of Israel's policies cease to be considered Anti-Semitic? As a jew, I am so tired of political critique of Israel couched in, "Of course, I support Israel and the jews and favor the US protection of the state of Israel." Come on. I wonder when it will be that a critique of Iran's policies will be considered Anti-extreme-muslim-terrorist and all pundits will shy away from that like a hot poker.

Dearest Bill,
You have always been one to cut through the BS at lightning speed, so I am surprised that you are so enamoured with Obama. He may have a good bit of canned charisma, but when questioned about any sort of plan that he may have he resorts to sticky, overused tag lines. This is the kind of stuff that would usually make you chomp at the bit! Quite simply, Obama has no answers, only lots of campaign dough from questionable sources. I am disapointed to see the American public swallowing this shit raw.
So here is my question:
Why is everyone so afraid to confront Obama with regards to his plan, his policy and his record?
As I told you when I saw you at the Venetian several months ago; "You are the only sense on T.V." I have been watching since the first episodes of P.I. on comedy central. Please don't dissapoint such a die hard fan.
Christine
