She plotted the murder, she paid for it with money and sex and had planned on spending the money thus obtained. She was not innocent, according to a jury of her peers and the lawful sentence was carried out. Justice was served.

Bill Clinton asks voters to give Dems more time
Sure, only if we love a government reported unemployment figure of nearly 10 percent (the real figure is actually higher) and the most jobs lost since 1940 under Obama's watch. That's what a democrat-controlled government have given us.

Obamanomics is a failure: Failure that has sent three of his four economic advisers heading for the hills.
Peter Orszag -- boom -- writing articles critical of Obamanomics from the NY Times editorial desk;
Christina Romer -- boom -- returned to Berkley to teach the elements of failed Obamanomics policy;
Larry Summers -- boom -- returning to Harvard to lecture on the implementation of failed Obamanomics policy.
Left of the four is Tim Geithner; a guy who has trouble remembering to fill out a tax return.

Referring to these people as an "illegal" immigrant is like calling a drug dealer an "unlicensed" pharmacist.
Too funny.

If the fear is an AIDS thing due to the chance of blood in combat injury I would counter that likely just as many 'straight' troopers might be so infected.
Nah, that's not a valid claim. Troops are tested once every six months and before a deployment/re-deployment overseas.
The beef I have with Reid and the democrats is that they allowed the Defense Authorization Bill -- which allows for our national security -- to be hijacked so they could attempt to further the rights of special interest groups. Policy bills like DADT and DREAM should be individual bills that pass or fail on their own individual merit; not piggybacked so that the democrats can come out and shed some fake tears saying the eeeeeevil republicans voted against funding for our troops.

(R)epublicans don't want gays in the military. They prefer them as political pages to be played with. Sickening.
Pure nonesense. Reid and the democrats are using the DoD and military to delay funds for needed weapons systems and overall military readiness so they can attempt to force back door amnesty to illegals down our throats.
Liberals put the concerns of illegals above our own nat'l defense. Now that, young man, is sickening.

False. Illegal is illegal. There's a big difference between an immigrant who legally entered America, enlisting and getting a fast track to U.S. citizenship and allowing an illegal to enlist for the same purpose.

The DREAM Act would allow people to serve two years in the military, to then qualify to apply for permanent U.S. residency.
To be eligible, an illegal must enter the country before the age of 16, live five consecutive years in the U.S. and have a clear record void of criminal activity.
Thus, if DREAM were enacted into law, about 2.5 million people under the age of 18 living in the U.S. illegally would qualify.
More democrat fuzzy logic. How is it possible to have a clear record void of criminal activity if a person violated our laws by being in America illegally in the first place?

if there is anything Republicans hate more than gays, its foriegn kids of "good moral character", who are what DREAM is meant to protect since they got there for no fault of their own.
You may have missed it , but the DREAM act only requires a person to be in the U.S. for 5 years (since age 16). Sounds like a back door amnesty whether or not you're in our country legally.

If the democrats were soooo sure repealing DADT and enacting DREAM were such good ideas, they should have put those two up for a vote as separate bills.
So, thanks to Reid for adding DREAM to the defense bill, there's now no funding to resupply the troops nor pay raises to active duty military personnel (on a personal note: I have not had a COLA increase since Obama took office).
Heckuva job, democrats.

Time for Obama's auntie to brush up on becoming a U.S. citizen. SHE has the obligation to become a citizen. INS DOES NOT push anyone to become one; it is up to HER to take the steps to become an American citizen.

If the majority of Americans think the ban on gays in the military should be overturned, why not let them?
Because the majority of us don't. Otherwise, it would have been overturned by now.

Actually, the bigger reason the bill was blocked was because of Reid's sleight-of-hand attempt to get DREAM enacted, which was also attached to the Defense Appropriations Bill.
Looks like he underestimated the resolve of the American people who hounded their representatives with phone calls and faxes to vote against DREAM.
Reid is considering to re-introduce the bill later this year. What arrogance. Doesn't matter what the American people want, he knows better.
Hopefully come November, Reid starts his journey into civilian life where he can do no more harm. He needed to be retired long ago.

“I voted for a man who said he was going to change things in a meaningful way for the middle class. I am one of those people. And I’m waiting, Sir. ... I don’t feel it yet,” said Velma Hart, the chief financial officer of AMVETS in Washington
I heard this clip today. Evidently some of the most vehement Obama supporters are tired of him as well. In an NPR piece on the midterms, most people they interviewed who'd voted for him were disappointed and would not vote for him again.
So much for Hope and Change.

Heh, liberals live in a fantasy land where the "elites" -- whose past fame and notoriety and previous status and accomplishments -- makes them above the law.
Here in the real world, no matter his "fame" as a former General of the United States Army, it does not make Powell exempt from the U.S. laws.
