Tell me this Do you want a president who is gonna cry all the time. Not trying to be critical but Hilary has cried twice on TV over nothing. So if something happens to america she gonna be on TV crying and making everyone else in america panic. Its ok to be sensitive but as president there is no room for it, at least whilst in the public eye.

And about if free health care is brought into play, it will take months or years to see a doctor about any medical condition. Canada is a good example of what free health care does for the population. This election is a hard one to call. Just my:2cents:

be that Obama (who i really, truely like) or Clinton (Bill i miss thee...i'd personally hire a hooker to give him a blowjob to have the country back to where it was)...

i respect McCain..always have and always will...i almost voted for him in the last election...because of his centerist/moderate views...but i'm not seeing that in this election thus far...so i'm swinging left

GO... MIKE HUCKABEE!
We do not need a democrat president

Huckabee once commented that "he would ammend the constitution to god's standards" which is somewhat vague but would obviously include things like a state religion etc (which makes sense seeing as how the word "god" appears approximately 0.0000 times in the U.S. constitution).

Here are some other gems I don't feel like paraphrasing so I just ripped straight off of Wikipedia.

-In a 1992 statement, Huckabee advocated isolating AIDS patients from the general population. In 2007, Huckabee no longer advocates such an isolation, but he stands by his earlier view, saying that in 1992 "there was still a great deal of, I think, uncertainty about just how widespread AIDS was, how it could be transmitted. So we know more now than we did in 1992, all of us do -- hopefully." However, by 1992 it was well known that HIV/AIDS could not be spread by casual contact. In the same statement, Huckabee also opposed increasing federal funding for HIV/AIDS research and suggested that Hollywood celebrities should provide additional funds instead.

- Huckabee supports the ongoing War in Iraq (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_in_Iraq) and the troop surge (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraq_War_troop_surge_of_2007).


- Huckabee has voiced his support of creationism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creationism). He was quoted in July 2004 on Arkansans Ask, his regular show on the Arkansas Educational Television Network: "I think that students (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Students) also should be given exposure to the theories not only of evolution (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution) but to the basis of those who believe in creationism."

- Huckabee supports the FairTax (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FairTax) as a replacement for the current tax system (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Income_tax_in_the_United_States).

The FairTax system is more or less a new flat tax system. Flat taxes are inherently regressive, so Huckabee follows in the Republican tradition of ****ing the middle and lower class via taxes.

In short, Huckabee would follow well in the footsteps of George Bush. A religious zealot warmonger acting as the benefactor of corporate America and the military industrial complex at the expense of American taxpayers.

02-06-2008, 12:18 AM
Eh..I'm not in to politics. That makes **** less stressful for me. If the price of the dollar is going down...then I wish these damn bill collectors would stop asking me for em!!


In all honesty, I did enjoy Bill Clinton. He did seem to do things to help society try to better themselves. It just seems as though Dubya got in there, got caught up in the war, and now its just a waiting game for him to get out. I wouldn't be suprised if he got on tv and said he only ran for president because he was dared to. We might as well of had an 11 year old chess player run the country. At least he'd view all his options thorougly before he made a move.
but like I said, I'm not in to politics. I can't tell the man how to do his job, I just hope someone is able to clean up his mess.

Lol. I was just about to say, that has already happened. It sucks, I work so hard for my money. If people were allowed to dig in to their social security throughout life, like a savings account. Maybe we wouldn't have so much debt in this country. I dunno....government does a lot of funny bull****. you would think that since we vote to have these assholes up there, society wouldn't be the way it is now. but then again, i guess half those rich bastards dont have to struggle like us everyday folk do....we pay for the cars they ride in, pay for the tow truck that picks it up when it breaks down, we pay for the repairs....but we can't even buy cars to get our own asses to work.

You clearly don't understand what any of that meant. Unless you really would like more war, more new wars and for the merchants of death to get rich off your and your fellow citizen's tax dollars. I hope you are comfortable with a draft a few years down the line. I hope you are comfortable with the idea of dying in a war who's only benefeciaries are the ultra rich and thousands of other Americans dying with you.

IF YOU DID NOT SERVE IN THE MILITARY YOU SHOULD NOT BE PRESIDENT. The president is considered to the the highest rank in the military. If you were not in the military you should not be allowed to run. Period.
I voted republican, but I also agree that Bush did let us down as a country. I am not a supporter of Obama or Hillary for my own reasons. Throwing the whole evangelical thing is no different then me saying you voted for Obama b/c his race. I voted for Huckabee and I do not go to church or claim to be a christian.
You can also be born into a religion. Jewish people, even if they have nothing to do with their own laws they are still know or viewed a Jew. They are not some special race.

The good old white boys will never let it happen. Hillary has a better chance against republicans.

I voted republican, but I also agree that Bush did let us down as a country. I am not a supporter of Obama or Hillary for my own reasons. Throwing the whole evangelical thing is no different then me saying you voted for Obama b/c his race. I voted for Huckabee and I do not go to church or claim to be a christian.\

Why would you vote for someone who's political views on important issues are almost identical to Bush if you feel Bush let us down?

i see .. so yall want to give money away ... lol .. free health care is a good idea .. you jus aint seeing the fine print here .. where the hell do you think the money is gonna come from with "FREE" HEALTHCARE...... out of your paycheck every week !!! Ideally, a great deal of the money would be from other areas. For example, the cost of the Iraq war, bull**** programs like foreign aid to Israel (Israel has the 16th highest per capita GDP in the world, this aid only functions as a subsidy for U.S. defense contractors) and rational high bracket tax revisions would do it and then some. You could also argue that defense spending itself (seperate from war costs) is irrationally high and could be cut to add to the pot for nationalized healthcare.

"While FY 2008 budget requests for US military spending are known, for most other countries, the most recent data is from 2005 (at time of writing). Using US spending at that time, we can compare US military spending with the rest of the world:


The US military spending was almost two-fifths of the total.
The US military spending was almost 7 times larger than the Chinese budget, the second largest spender.
The US military budget was almost 29 times as large as the combined spending of the six “rogue” states (Cuba, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Sudan and Syria) who spent $14.65 billion.
It was more than the combined spending of the next 14 nations.
The United States and its close allies accounted for some two thirds to three-quarters of all military spending, depending on who you count as close allies (typically NATO countries, Australia, Canada, Israel, Japan and South Korea)
The six potential “enemies,” Russia, and China together spent $139 billion, 30% of the U.S. military budget."

You are preaching to a deaf crowd, also wtf maybe you should go through the black population. Many of them voted for obama just because he was black, I talked to six people yesterday and that was the only reason they voted for him.

Is it because he's black or Hillary and Bill turned them away? Everyone wants to say blacks are voting for Obama because of what he is but how do you explain his surge in white voters? Is that because he is black as well? I didnt realize being black was the popular thing to be when running for president.

And as for Obama being beat by a republican, Brian I am amazed at how delusional you are about Clinton. Barack vs. McCain is a no brainer.. Mccain does not stand a chance. Understand that Barack crosses the partisan line so he has a good group of republicans that support him as well. Conservatives are already bitter about McCain being the front runner so I guarantee you if Barack is elected and its McCain up against him Barack will be our next president.

Hillary needs to be very afraid, exit polls show that the people are ready for Obama and had it not been for early voting Obama would have won California.

The early voters leaned toward Hillary but the votes that were taken yesterday were in Obama's favor.. and that is a fact. Exit polls also showed Asians and Latinos favored Clinton 2-1 not 3-1.. thing is Barack gets the majority of the black and white vote, and latinos are not the majority everywhere.

Rasmussen polls also show that Obama has a much better chance at beating McCain.

Reason being is because 1st of all i dont want another dumbass replublican in house that will keep this pointless war going which is killing the us economy and sucks for many people who own business'. Second is Obama has no experience as a president as for Hillary has somewhat of an experience being Bill Clinton's wife. Also i think Bill would help her make good decisions if she was to be elected. Either way i think Obama could make a great president if he was elected and i would be happy as long as a democrat gets elected to help out the US economy that Bush fu.cked up

something else i have to look into...what has obama done that makes him a threat to business owners?
i'm going the way of the business owner(again), and the direction i'm goin in, i dont want to be hurting for doing it. ''cause if so, i'll just keep running on this hampster wheel called employee.


Also where in the hell do you think obama would win vs. McCain? The system has proven that Obama wouldn't win that battle. Obama needs more experience, if he runs another time I would vote for him but not this time. how much experience does he need?

I just think its a plus to have presidential experience. Washington and Jefferson were presidents wayyyy back, this is a new age. I never said Obama wouldnt do good. Honestly to me its almost a toss up between Hillary and Obama. Reason being is because i think either one would help the people in this country which is what we really need.

Uhh.. free trade is what this economy is built on and you as a business owner should see the detriment of that line of thinking. She already wants to garnish wages, what if she came in tomorrow and said Brian.. you're making too much money so after a certain amount of profit the government will seize the rest of the revenue you bring in?

His incompetent fiscal policy making did not sink businesses left and right. America has experienced typical, if unremarkable, economic growth during his two terms (and despite popular misconception, no recession).

He could have done better. He could have done so very much better. I could sit here all night and tell you everything he could have done and what the results could have been. But what it comes right down to is, he didn't **** things up that bad.

Some free trade economists have recently begun to express their own doubts concerning the concept and practice of free trade. Alan S. Blinder, for example, a professor of economics at Princeton University, and former Federal Reserve Board vice chairman and advisor to Democratic presidential candidates, had previously argued, along with most economists, that free trade enriches the U.S. and its trading partners. However, he now says new communication technology will put 30-40 million American jobs at risk in 10-20 years. Blinder has not completely rejected free trade or Ricardo's ideas about comparative advantage, but he advocates greater protection for displaced workers and an improved education system. Blinder opposed steel, aluminum and farming export subsidies and protection, and pushed for the passage of NAFTA, though he did not agree that it would create jobs in the US. Trade changes types of jobs, not the number, he said. Technology allowed Indians in call centers to do the work of Americans at lower wages. "Tens of millions of additional American workers will start to experience an element of job insecurity that has heretofore been reserved for manufacturing workers.


Free trade is good to a point, but it has cost a lot of americans jobs. It will only get worse as years go on. Also take account for how many american owned businesses that have packed up and move over sees and opened up shop. If you search it there are a lot of those businesses.

There will always be the minority academic dissent. If our society is dilligent and driven, said "lost jobs" will indeed simply become new jobs of a different type. If people aren't serious about aqcuiring new skills or a greater education, this will not happen.

Superpower doesn't mean international police. The European Union is becoming very strong through fiscal policy, same with China and Japan. At the current rate we will be at the mercy of other countries who dealt with their domestic issues rather than stuck their nose in every little tiff across the globe, especially those involving oil.

Reagan dealt with Russia through diplomacy, not once did we attack them and we came out on top. Diplomacy works and diplomacy saves lives, those that we call our enemy today could easily become an ally. Bush's policy does not save lives, it costs the taxpayers BILLIONS and it tarnishes our position across the globe and you want to continue that???

i dont want a PMS'n president, or a muslim that is only popular because of his race..

jsut my 2cents
Even if Obama were Muslim (which he is NOT) so freakin' what? You mean to tell me that someone's religion makes them a better person, politician, and/or president? Give m a break! Apparently being a "God fearin' Christian" doesn't make a difference. If that were the case, GW wouldn't go down in history as one of, if not THE, worst president(s) in US history. Based on what I know, killing is very anti-Christian. With that beign the case, why is it ok for a christian to have the military kill at his command? So many republicans are so quick to boast about America and how great it is because of all of it's freedom but, are quick to turn that statement around when it best suits them. If this country were what it is supposed to be, why would it matter what Obama's religion or religious background was? As long as his religion didn't interfere with his JOB as president, why does it matter? Would he somehow make you any less christian or weaken your faith? The president is a political leader, not a religious or spiritual leader. I don't need anyone ANYONE trying to steer my faith. I'm voting for the person that will best fit the JOB of President of the US. Call me naive but, I think my GOD understands that.

I wish that people would start voting based on the issues and what the candidate stands for rather than by some ridiculous loyalty to a certain party line. Sheep make me laugh.

He's done the best that he could under the conditions? Wow. So you're ok with making do and not making things happen? How underachieving of you.:rolleyes:

The stats don't lie... Bush has royally fuked this country on so many different levels.

How do you justify the senseless and truly asinine war in Iraq?
How do you comfort the mothers and wives and children of all the young and not so young soldiers that have lost their lives fighting a war that was a fallacy based on lies and misleading bs?

How do you explain the sudden need to issue rebates to taxpayers under the guise of jump starting what is obviously a stagnant economy?

The US a "superpower"? That is laughable.

No, its definitely true. Go find the criteria a country needs to fulfill to be considered a superpower or ask a few credible academics and see what they tell you. That being said, Bush's time in office has dimished our projectable power significantly.

Oh, and you can drop the condescending attitude anytime now. I think you overestimate yourself.

race aside and sex aside, hilary is NOT going to win. get over it, cry all you want. just not going to happen.

i dont agree with everything any one candidate stands for, and im pretty sure most people are the same way. i will more than likely vote republican, because at the moment the democrats are complete liberals, and i am conservative. there is no median, they are all extreme(at least the candidates with a chance at candidacy). getting us out of iraq immediately is going to make us look like a pansy is running the country and anyone can run over us. having us send more troops is not the answer either. there are other issues i really dont feel like i need to argue any of them, someone is going to nag one way or the other. vote how you want.

refer back to south park. remember the episode where they were bickering back and forth between the liberals and the conservatives? "if you dont like it, you can get out"[irrelavant but i love the quote] cartman 'went back in time' and asked the forefathers. their solution(john adams maybe?) was we need the pansy's so people dont think we are all hateful evil sob's and terrorize us/start a wa. and we need the evil hateful sob's so people dont think we are all pansies and they can overrun us and terrorize us/start a war. so quit bashing one another.

vote for who you want, and let the best candidate win, IMO. i just hope whoever wins doesnt drag us into the gutter more than we already are, or into a new one for the next 4 years.

How so?

Just out of curiosity, when was the last time you've been overseas or spoken to someone who lives abroad?

Do you have any idea what the general sentiment is towards Americans worldwide?

No, I haven't traveled internationally. I never dispute the notion of America's lack of popularity internationally. zzzz.

AND when in recent history has the US government had to take such drastic measures as those that are presently being taken.?

Amazingly vague.

Please show me another "SUPERPOWER" that has taken such a measure...

Also amazingly vague. That being said, America definitely matches the criteria for a superpower... and pretty much any academic, statesman or anyone rational and informed will agree.

Oh, and you can drop the condescending attitude anytime now. I think you overestimate yourself.




Yes, I am being condescending and overestimating myself because I told you that you were using bull**** to further your argument. Please sir, very petty.

I suppose when you invoked the intentionally vague "drastic measures" you meant things like the invasion turned simmering guerilla conflict in Afghanistan or the invasion for a million shady reasons turned simmering civil war in Iraq and our inability to completely pacify either.

The USSR, with one of the two most potent armed forces, occupied Afghanistan with twice as many troops as the current U.S. backed coalition in Afghanistan and still failed to pacify ANY hostility there after ten years.

As for Iraq, the Neo-Cons decided they could deny China more oil and bankroll the military industrial complex at the same time. Its no surprise that it eventually turned to civil war with two closely settled religious groups with hundreds of years of acrimonious history between the two and a lack of extremely heavy handed discipline to keep them in line.

Both states of affair utilize an unacceptable amount of U.S. military assets and dilute the amount of power we can project internationally. But neither are contrary to a country with military, economic and political superpower status.

Amazingly vague.....LOL....And so is your rebuttal....

Being that you oppose my views and being that you're the omnipotent super brain that you'd like to believe yourself to be, surely you'd have an answer for what you deem as being bullshyt, correct?.


Like I have stated before and like other people have pointed out already, you give yourself way too much credit. Your pseudo intellectual act is not impressing anyone here.

If "drastic measures" isn't vague I don't know what is. zzzzz. Check previous page.

I'll express exactly what you said but in an intentionally dumb way so you get a hint.

"THE US IS DOING CRAZY THINGZ. REFUTE THIS CLAIM."

Please. I'm not going to sit here and explore every possibility that could be concealed under that rather large umbrella.

If anyone here is being pseudo intellectual its not me, considering I specifically refuted your statements from the first post and afterwards all you had to offer me was something as specific as "drastic measures", which even if it was true, would not be contrary to a country holding superpower status.

Ok well I am fixing to state my point. I wouldn't vote for obama this year period, if he ran next term he would have my vote. Just because someone promises change doesn't mean it will happen that is for Tony. I don't care if he is black or white, he's not ready.

For the idiot who is calling democrats stupid, he is a idiot. There is not one republican who has made any sense what so ever, during their debates. The republicans running for office are just as stupid as the one, who is in office. Republicans were talking about how good Bush was for the office his first go around, and he has let everyone down since. He is a redneck racist sumbish, who has lied to the country for damn near eight years. We are fighting for a means to a end to a war we should have never went to.

Our country isn't the police for every other country, in this world. This is the soul reason our country has gone to sh!t. Take care of your own before reaching out to others.

I didn't google it nor would it make the information any less valid if I did (and it was valid). More over, omnipotence is absolute power over the universe, not the ability to know your thoughts. That's omniscience. zzzz. At least get that right.

You are indeed BSing and this post I've quoted is evidence of that, whenever you'd like to state, support and explain your position I'd be happy to have a discussion with you. You aren't doing any but the first at the moment.

The EU nations prove it does. China, commonly touted as the "evil communist empire" ( there's some pretty shady stuff going on within the country, but its not THAT bad), also proves it does. Taiwan doesn't count.

This is the info I've found.... I'm def for Huckabee. I don't think he'll win, but hopefully he can be VP. :dunno:


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama

A theme of Obama's keynote address at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, and the title of his 2006 book, The Audacity of Hope, was inspired by his pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright.[136] In Chapter 6 of the book, titled "Faith," Obama writes that he "was not raised in a religious household." He describes his mother, raised by non-religious parents, as detached from religion, yet "in many ways the most spiritually awakened person that I have ever known." He describes his Kenyan father as "raised a Muslim," but a "confirmed atheist" by the time his parents met, and his Indonesian stepfather as "a man who saw religion as not particularly useful." The chapter details how Obama, in his twenties, while working with local churches as a community organizer, came to understand "the power of the African American religious tradition to spur social change." Obama writes: "It was because of these newfound understandings—that religious commitment did not require me to suspend critical thinking, disengage from the battle for economic and social justice, or otherwise retreat from the world that I knew and loved—that I was finally able to walk down the aisle of Trinity United Church of Christ one day and be baptized."[137] He has been a member of Trinity United Church of Christ for over twenty years.

Don't worry about it man, any time you state something other than general knowledge some will assume it comes from google as if people don't open books any more.

Obama Wins Virginia


By DAVID ESPO, AP
Tue Feb 12, 7:49 PM EST

Sen. Barack Obama won the Virginia primary Tuesday night and reached out for victories in nearby Maryland and the District of Columbia, determined to erode or even erase Hillary Rodham Clinton's delegate lead in the Democratic presidential race. Obama's triumph made it six straight over Clinton, the former first lady, now struggling in a race she once commanded.

Interviews with voters leaving the polls showed blacks accounted for nearly one-third of the ballots cast in Virginia, and Obama's share approached 90 percent. He and Clinton split the white vote. She led among white women, but he was preferred by a majority of white men.

:bump:

He beat her when it comes to Latino vote and lower class voters.. a segment he had not touched in previous primaries.
