Obama '08?

@parados,

There are many flaws with trying to compare crimes of different countries, no less different communities, counties and states. It depends on the law enforcement record keeping, what they decide to record as crimes, and how aggressive they are in pursuit of criminal activities. They are all different, because they are based on subjective definitions and incidences. In other words, they are not comparing apples to apples.

United States law
Main articles: Treaty Clause and Foreign policy of the United States
In the United States, the term "treaty" has a different, more restricted legal sense than exists in international law. U.S. law distinguishes what it calls treaties from treaty executive agreements, congressional-executive agreements, and sole executive agreements. All four classes are equally treaties under international law; they are distinct only from the perspective of internal American law. The distinctions are primarily concerning their method of ratification. Whereas treaties require advice and consent by two-thirds of the Senate, sole executive agreements may be executed by the President acting alone. Some treaties grant the President the authority to fill in the gaps with executive agreements, rather than additional treaties or protocols. And finally, Congressional executive agreements require majority approval by both the House and the Senate, either before or after the treaty is signed by the President.

Currently, international agreements are executed by executive agreement rather than treaties at a rate of 10:1. Despite the relative ease of executive agreements, the President still often chooses to pursue the formal treaty process over an executive agreement in order to gain Congressional support on matters that require the Congress to pass implementing legislation or appropriate funds, and those agreements that impose long-term, complex legal obligations on the U.S.

Squirt, apples grow on trees. They start as flowers, then ripen as fruit and finally rot if not picked and eaten.

@dyslexia,

It's obvious liberals on A2K lined up for and received their free frontal lobotomies long ago.

Of course these were made available by the government at no cost to liberal democrats.

I think Florida is having its way with you again, panz. Federal tax went up by about .67 per pack. Anything else is state or jobbers.

The federal tax raise[.67] was earmarked for:

"The federal tax covers the cost of expanding a program for children who lack health insurance."

The state tax raise of $1.00 a pack was for:

Quote:

the state expects the higher tax will generate about $900 million a year to help treat sick smokers. [Repub.]Gov. Charlie Crist signed the bill in May, reversing a pledge not to raise taxes. Crist said at the time he viewed the increase ``more as a health issue than . . . a tax issue.''

Oh, gentle Jesus. Now, there is nothing that would be called a tax increase.

Good news, maybe more people waking up to reality? Obama at minus 5 in Rasmussen and overall his approval number is at 52%. Also, consumer confidence and investor confidence sliding. Obamanomics, spend more and do less, try to make the Federal Government as Big Brother grow into the Incredible Hulk, of course is not working and never will, and siding with every dictator around the world, signing away stuff to Russia, the man is Jimmy Carter times how many? As more and more people wake up to reality, not only our chances but perhaps our slam dunk that the Democrat shysters can be swept out of office, starting in 2010.

I thought there was supposed to be some mass tea bag assembly on July 4th.

Did the news not report on it, okie? Or did the tea baggers just fade away?
