If I had a choice to be a Patriot or a Loyalist, I would be a Patriot because I believe that they should not have to be governed by the British and pay high taxes to the British. I believe they should be free, and be able to govern themselves. The British were fighting an unfair war. RT

"In the News" Responses
If I could, I would vote for John McCain because I like him.  He is experienced & smart, he picked a woman for his vice president, if Obama had picked Hillary, we would have voted for him for Senator Clinton.  McCain knows about being a soldier and war.  I feel I can trust him.

City streets today (Monday, May 1, 2006) are packed with illegal immigrants all over the country!  The immigrants take the day off out of school, work and etc. to go and protest.  Hundreds of thousands of people demonstrated peacefully to protest Congress' attempts to toughen immigration laws. Many carry banners and signs some workers walked off the job at 12:16 p.m. to symbolize December 12 -- The call to not work, not go to school, not go shopping was heard all over.   md

Judge Alito has been nominated by George Bush to be a Justice to the United States Supreme Court.  His confirmation hearings started two days ago and the political struggle has begun between the Republicans and the Democrats.  One of the major concerns is over abortion rights.  The Republicans say that Alito is extremely qualified for this position.  NC
