    Haha god I feel for you mate. Our choices aren't exactly brilliant either. Though we have got the Liberal Democrats (I'd imagine they'd go down a right storm in conservative America) who are usually a good bet as a third party.

    i know it seems weird, and i'm not a big fan of police...especially under a fascist regime. but a lot of police departments have been expected to handle massively increased workload over the years with no additional officers. like in seattle where you can't get a policeman to come out to an incident and take a report. they just don't have the manpower. so if something gets stolen from you, you're pretty much S.O.L. they can't do anything to help. they can barely keep up with the murders and assaults.

    Oh, how nice. Well, I am sure she just wants to keep us safe.





    (And let's not forget the TRIPLING of the police force since 9/11.)

    What is the number of police currently?

    Seems like 100,000 additional police for 300,000,000 is considerable but I wouldn't call it excessive. Depends on how much you currently have.

    I wonder for how long she is willing to promise local areas that she will finance their hiring. It's one thing to want them and mandate them on the street it's another thing to come up with the money to pay them year after year. I know it's been done before but federal funds ran out after six months and the states had to foot the bill. Which meant the states cut eduation and other areas.

    Hmmm, well 100k more police officers won't change much.

    Here in Canada I would strongly support the police force being multiplied 4 fold.

    Now THAT would change something.

    Course to have good cops they must be under control.

    wtf did nostradamus say about 2012?

    2012 is a mayan harmonization. not a world end. the world will end when the sun eats it BUAHAHAHA

    it's also a galactic alignment. we're pretty much aligned right now, though. it's slow.

    100,000 is nothing nationwide. Here in NYC the numbers of police have dropped over 5,000 since 9/11. The city loves the term "do more with less". Top pay is $59,000. The average rent for a studio apt. is over $1,500 a month. They are no longer attracting well qualified people. The city refuses to pay a market wage. The city will pay dearly in the long run. Every officer retires after 20 years. Meaning every experienced officer is being replaced with an inexpreinced, low paid rookie. The starting pay is $25,000.

    mccain = draft
    clinton = police state x 2 + lies
    obama = police state + lies and a radical black power leader.

    maybe reinstating the draft,or should i say attempting to reinstate the darft would be a good thing?

    there has got to be a catalyst to get the masses to stand up and say "I AM MAD AS HELL AND IM NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE"!!!

    face it we need the youth of today to cast ofF there veil of apathy and compliance and stand together in unity and say "HELL NO!"

    before its to late...

    revolution/change has always came about through the youth,they are this countries only hope. unless they wake up and stand up within the next couple years WE ARE ALL DOOMED!

    theres got to be a way to make them all realize the system isnt going to save us,clinton or mccain wont save us,obamas "change" wont save us..

    only fundamental grass roots RADICAL change is going to save us..

    the youth are the only ones with the strength,the numbers and the will to bring about this change if they will only stand up..

    sure theres things we as elders can do to support them as we shall. but the youth have to be the dare i say "foot soldiers",they have to take to the streets in civil disobedience and stop the madness!

    the will of the people has always been heard loudest when spoken by the youth..

    but i digress.
    carry on.

    Yes, right wing politicans tend to support stronger justice system.

    I don't know how Republicans work down in the States but I always thought they were for more cops??

    I mean Liberals may support slap on the wrist sentences but if they support more cops I think that's one of the few cases where I'd agree.
