Presidential prediction, election '08

2006-02-21T09:12:00.000-08:00

I think that former governor of Virginia, John Warner, will run for the Democratic Party,since he had a very succesful term in Virginia.
I think the Republic Party will nominee either George Allen, or McCain, but I think more Allen than McCain, because of hihs age, and because he might be to moderate for the conservative Republicans.

I hope John Warner will run, because I think that probably will make Virginia change to blue,but it's hard to say if his candidate is Allen

I don't agree with Thomas Cal on everything he says aboout the State of the union speech, but I do with some of them.
I think it is good that Bush wants to do something about the oil problems, and will try to find new methods of fuel, if he is actually going to do it.
I don't agree with Thomas and Bush about keeping the troops, but that's what I expected him to say so I'm not suprised.

Democrats accuse Republicans of using "Doublespeak"

2006-01-22T08:40:00.000-08:00

Harry Reid says that years of controlling both the White house and Congress had corrupted the republican Party. He points out that the Republicans have rewarded special interest groups, and everyone else have been left behind.
An example of Reid accuse of using "doublespaek" is:
"When they wanted to let energy companies release more pollution into the air, they called it the 'Clear skies Initiative'"
Also for giving tax breaks to their special interest friends...

If all this is true, I understand why Harry Reid and the democratic Party is upset, because this is not fair.

Illegal immigrants

Bush takes though talk on immigration to Texas

I don't really know what I think about it, but I do understand that they wont let everyone in, and that they wanna do something about the problem.
they kind of have to keep track on who's in yhe country.
But I don't think it should be to strict either, it's hard to say.

Treatment of detainees

2005-11-15T16:16:00.000-08:00

I think it's crazy that these things actually happens.
That people are put in jail and basically doesn't have any rights at all..
It's even worse that it happens to innocent people.
Some of the stories I have heard, it seems like torture.
I guess that's why U.S. have their base on Cuba, so it doesn't actually happens in the U.S...?

Thoughts on election 2005

2005-11-13T15:14:00.000-08:00

Yes!
I'm so glad that Tim Kaine won the election for governor.
I think he will be a much better governor that Jerry Kilgore would have been.
I agree so much more with Kaine on most of the issues than with Kilgore, and I could never see Kilgore as a governor.. He's just too Republican to me..
That's what I think, and I don't hope I make anyone mad..

Harriet Miers

2005-10-19T16:53:00.000-07:00

Harriet Miers is nominated to the U.S. Supreme Court, by the President George W. Bush.
She has no experience as a judge, but have been in the White House since last election.
She has also been Bush's private lawyer, and is close to Bush.
No one really know her opinin on the big issues, so people are afraid of what she stands for.

She is conservative though, but how conservative? Asks the conservative voters, that voted for Bush as a president in 2000 and 2004, when he promised a very conservative candidate.
They wold problably rather have judge, who was cleraly against abortion, for example.
I don't hope that she's very conservative though, I know that she is conservative, but hope that it's as less as possible..

My opinion on the debate

2005-10-10T08:20:00.000-07:00

I definitely think Tim Kaine had the best answers.
I mean, he actually answered the questions, and told why people should vote for him as a governor.
Jerry Kilgore didn't present a case as to why people should vote for him.
Instead he said why people should not vote for Tim Kaine..
Jerry Kilgore didn't give me enough reasons to why I should vote for him.
I think Tim Kaine seemed more comfortable than Jerry Kilgore during the debate, Jerry Kilgore stumbled over the words, and was in all to negative, kind of the opposite of Tim Kaine.
I also agree with Tim Kaine that death penalty should be illegal.
I didn't know any of the candidates, or what they were for and against, until I saw the debate, and I didn't have a good impression of Jerry Kilgore, I liked Tim Kaine the best as a governor for Virginia.

The government vs. Hurricane Katrina

2005-09-11T19:11:00.000-07:00

Many people think that the government were too late to react, and do something.
I think Bush has done an okay job.
They tried to get all people out of the areas, and I think yhey did what they could - I mean, they haven't had a year to prepare it..
The government is giving people $200 on a credit card, and that good.
Some people complain and says that's not enough at all, but I think it's fine, to start with.
So, I think the government did what they could, and that's what you can expect.

4. Compare gas prices around the world. Do certain regions have lower prices than others? Which countries have the highest prices and which have the lowest? How does the current prices in the United States compare to the rest of the world?

Europe is generally the most expensive place to buy gas. There is a few countries where it’s quite cheap, but it’s very expensive in most european countries. The first 16 countries on a list where you start with the most expensive, is european. The next country is Japan. The cheapest region in the world is probably South America or Africa. Both places are very cheap.
With the price of $3.05 in the U.S., it’s still in the lower end of the list. Cheaper than in Europe, but more expensive than in Africa and South America. So don't complain Americans!

5. Write down or copy/paste the URL of the websites you take information from so you can quickly go back to it if you need to to prove your point. Keep a list of the websites you visited to hand in.

"My Private Idaho"

2005-08-30T08:56:00.000-07:00

My thoughts on "My Private Idaho"

I wonder how the president of the United States can have that much vacation...
I mean, he's the president of the United States, probably the most powerfull man in the world right know, there must be lots of work he has to do. Or maybe other people does all the hard work for him, so he can ride his bike?

I agree with Maureen Dowd, in the most of what she writes about George W. Bush..
