I hope this type of issue is brought up tonight for a debate question on the issue of the Iraqi government taking a vacation.

So the Iraqi parliament IS really taking notes from Dubya...Go figure.

Irrespective of the prevailing wisdom of the punditry I think any candidate who address' the inequity of the economy will score well with viewers like me.

Good grief, it's only April of 2007-I can't listen to this stuff for 19 months. Let's hope that the mudslinging, idiotic, taken out of context sound bites, don't start until next year. I was so grateful to be in Italy for the 1992 elections, and in the UK for the 2000 elections-I didn't have to put up with the commercials, mailers and landscape destroying signs. Don't even get me started on bumper stickers. All political parties stink when it comes to this nonsense.

To start with McCain has been, is, and will always be a follower, a yes man, ETC. I don't consider that a good characteristic for the President of the country. As for Iraq ... Why should we criticize their way of governing and law making? Whether they recess for the summer or not is irrelevant. The USA occupation will continue, the ethnic violence will continue. If they pass the laws pushed on then by the USA nothing will change other than Bush can say they have made substantial progress. The only important "law" is the oil bill which will give control of the oil fields to the big oil companies in the USA. The ethnic differences cannot be settled by a law. They are autonomous groups who have never agreed and only were somewhat civil to each other when a dictator threatened them with death.

Well the debates are over and the real winners were the audience who allowed the candidates to express their views. Way to go S.C. State !!!!

People need to listen to kucinich because he speaks the truth. I admire his guts and i will vote for him. WINNING THE WAR ON TERROR= WAR TODAY, WAR TOMMORROW, WAR FOREVER!

It's so easy being a monday morning quarterback isn't it? The SC debate was full of them. Monday morning quarterbacks always make the right decisions, based on the latest polls, of course.

The Iraqi Parliament's decision to take two months off during this critical time when American soldiers and Iraqi civilians are suffering and dying is callous and reprehensible. It shows a clear lack of leadership and disdain for the sacrifices the United States has made and is making for them. If they truly decide to brush off their responsibilities to their own people, then I can only say that we have no reason to continue squandering our lives and treasure for them.

LK, Saratoga: I was not aware of the Iraqi Parliment taking two months off. No kidding. That's it. Load up the trucks boys and girls and head for the Kuwaiti, Saudi Arabia and Turkish borders even without orders as Bill suggested. On the other hand, I suppose it makes no differnece, as if the Iraqi Parliment were some kind of functioning body anyway. But still, load up the trucks, this party is over.

The Iraqi Parliament is taking off the WHOLE SUMMER? So what the fuss? King George takes off a lot of time in the summer too and spins it to call it a "working" vacation. Stupid is as stupid does!
