Politics, News & Issues > Party Politics & Ideology Is the Republican Party broken?: 2 of 12
In my opinion, if it's not broken, it's well on its way. It just doesn't stand for what it once did.

Politics, News & Issues > Sports News & Opinion (Other) Are rodeos sport or animal cruelty?: 3 of 14
There is a lot of controversy over rodeos and those opposed to them are adamant and emotional about the issue.

The real question is how should we go about it? With every alternative method put forward for energy production, there will be a hoard of people out there that ... More..
Politics, News & Issues > People in the News Commentary: NY Governor Spitzer and the prostitution scandal: 58 of 61
New York Governor Eliot Spitzer being linked to a high dollar international prostitution ring and possibly money laundering just makes me want to laugh out loud. Here we have yet another corrupt politician going down in flames. What was he thinking? How can someone that is in his position, not just as governor but as someone... More..
