    Why do you think America's so unpopular under Bush compared to Clinton?

    Is it not bush's policy's more than the fact that he barely string a sentence together?

    If his foreign policy and heck his policy at home was slightly better would we not forgive the fact that he's as thick as pig shit.
    Keep on rockin in the free world!!!!

    The economy has polarized to the point where the wealthiest 10% now own 85% of the nation’s wealth. Never before have the bottom 90% been so highly indebted, so dependent on the wealthy.

    I agree Helen. being a good speaker and uniter is saying ALOT. not sure why abook would dismiss that as nothing.

They all have these grand plans of things they say they are going to do because they know it's supposed to be their job. They pick cabinet members, advisers, judges, etc who do affect the direction our country is going. So when I see these candidates all full of these plans to change things, they need to put put their money where their mouth is. They all have connections with lobbyists, corporate contributors and these same people who give them the money to get elected will be the ones who benefit the most once they're in.

    If all we expect out of our leaders is talk, it's no wonder we're in the mess we are.

    obama, for example, hasn't been in office yet. he hasn't had the chance to prove the things he says. so until then, its just talk.

    Who is the lesser of your 3 evils and why?

    Don't be silly.. the only reason Hillary and Obama is still undecided is because America is no where near ready for a black or a female president. American doesn't want either of them

    The race is long over.. McCain is the next President of the United states... in spite of all the hoopla that will go on in the coming months.. it all shit because American's like to pretend they are something they are definately not!

    Neither of them will get my vote. Not because they are Democrats or Republican but because they will not do what is necessary for the betterment of this country. Neither of them will revise our intrusive foreign policy. Neither of them will do what is necessary to stop our dollar from it's downward spiral. Neither of them will decrees the size and scope of the Federal government. Neither of them will put the needs and wishes of the people before that of special interests and corporations.

    They may not be exactly alike but none of them represents my position in what I believe are the most important issues facing our country.

    They do have plans for those issues, just not ones that I agree with.

    I'm not going to vote for any of them, but the lesser of 3 evils for me is McCain.
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

    The way I see it you had 2 choices:
    1. Explain WHY you think Barack Obama is "a great candidate."
    2. Just say that anyone who doesn't like him obviously has no idea what they're talking about, and therefore has a lack of understanding for ANYTHING politically related.
    Almost every Obama supporter I've dealt with is the same. No reason why he's obviously the best choice, but if you don't see that he's the best choice then you don't know anything.

    But Obama sure has a pretty mouth.

    Tell that to the thousands of troops in Iraq who can't come home until Bush says so. Seriously ... the buck stops in the Oval Office on a lot of shit. A lot of shit. You can't have someone in there who doesn't know what the fuck they are doing, or it doesn't work. You can't have someone in there who wants to play both sides of the fence, or it doesn't work.

    Vote for Obama if you think he's the best candidate. But don't delude yourself into thinking he won't have to make tough decisions that will affect millions of lives on a daily basis.

    Um Bush is in his last term, Clinton served two terms... So unless Bush 1 or Carter are going to make a late comeback, I don't see how we could get a candidate that has been in office yet. I don't get it...

    To stay on topic, I like Barack. McCain will invade Iran, Clinton will terrify the children. So Obama is the "lesser of the three evils".
