For pete's sake, are they TRYING to make us sick of them already?

Giuliana, Romney, and McCain aren't any better.....

I can't believe that we are this far out from the election that they are already running their names into the ground.

I am getting to the point that I won't vote for any of those 5 just for the simple fact that I am tired of hearing about them (and not to mention they all suck)

there are some of you who think that the twin deficits are a sign of a strong economy because it encourages growth. but doesnt america have to pay for that growth? it appears that america's economy is "growing" but on the basis on credit, not on real money. america is using money that doesnt exist. I wonder where america's real economic growth stands nowadays taking into consideration the huge amount of debt it is in. of course, some debt is tolerable, but where's the limit?

that they are completly irrational about it? I saw a few conservatives on here claim that the budget surplus that clinton had when he left office was due to Reagan, who left office 12 YEARS before, they actually believe this. They cannot admit he did anything right and the things he did do they give credit to someone else which makes no kinda sense. Reagan DIDN'T balance the budget, clinton did. to say otherwise just shows ignorance.

They also blame 9/11 on him, it's a sad day when the siting president doesn't have control over the country but I guess on 9/11 Bush didn't, clinton did. No mater Clinton's percieved mistakes it's the height of stupidity to place the blame for 9/11 on him, he MAY share the responsibilty but Bush was in office, wheres his blame?

Or is expecting rational thought and discussion from republicans too much?

I have asked many times, about several candidates; I have gotten a lot of negatives. So, if you don't want any Democrats and no Republicans, just who do you want. Do not tell me that you are going to exercise your right to not vote. If you are so stupid as to do that, then you deserve just whatever you get.

If you watched the Democratic debate last night moderated by Keith Oberman, did you notice John Edwards poor appearance/ showing? It seems like he needs some real coaching from his handlers - kind of Nixon/Kennedy "visual" TV debate problem....especially the continual eye blinking & he looks very slight in stature compared to the other candidates - If I were coaching him, I'd suggest padded shoulder jackets & lifts in shoes for starters....and he should be "planted" with legs firmly rooted to the floor - not swaying back and forth...it really weakens him....kind of a TV appearance 101 crash course. I am not for or against him...still looking at the field - but I was surprised in this media age to see someone with such a lack of tv appearance savvy.

Want government to protect you, provide for all your needs, decide who gets allocated what?

Because that's what the Leftists in the Democratic Party are offering you in exchange for your votes.

I know lots of you are dissatisfied with the way the current administration has botched the post-war occupation of Iraq. But where do you think the fight in the War on Terror is going to be played out when we pull our troops home? Over here maybe.

If you put the Democrats in office in 2008, could it be that you will be less safe from terror and less free because of the socialist programs they will implement? Could it be you will become a child of government inside a vast "nanny" state?

as opposed to perhaps, lets get more our young people to go to school to learn that and help them with their education with low cost loans?????

If we need more engineers, lets get import them or lets get more of our kids to go to college to be engineers and lets give them incentives to do so.

Which approach is the one that seems like we care more about our own country and our own citizens?

They seem to be so big on civil rights and there was a time when the civil rights movement (rightfully so) was fighting for equal opportunity. However, I don't think the liberals of today have any clue what they were fighting for or what the words "equal opportunity" even mean. Like most liberal ideas, even the few that actually are good ideas to begin with, if they are successful they always want to take more and more.

"Eqaul Opportunity" simply means that any LEGAL CITIZEN has the opportunity and the right to excel and or achieve anything that they are QUALIFIED for and WORK to get to without being impeaded by the government so long as it is within the boundaries of the law.

But liberals have created the "law" of entitlement and affirmative action. They have created a "class envy" society where they believe "equal opportunity" is to have the opportunity to dip into the success of someone else and freely give it to someone else to make them "equal".

Your thoughts...

IMMIGRATION IN THE 20TH AND 21ST CENTURY - THE CURSE OF CIVILIZED NATIONS AND DECENT PEOPLES.

Immigration to America in the 17th to 19th century was by decent, hardworking, well intentioned people, heading to America with honorable intentions to build and contribute to society. They created a workable social system with benefits to the deserving and a society of well-intentioned and decent people. But no such people come any more.

Now they come in droves, packing the major cities, causing an increase in crime, congestion, and taxes as real estate rents soar, parking is unavailable or exorbitantly high. Americans who took their entire lives to pay off their home mortgages, now find that the taxes on their homes are so high, they cant afford to live in them any more and the congestion so bad, they cant even find a place to park in front of their own homes. Many have to pack up and move out of the city, just to make ends meet, and then face the arduous daily hours of driving back and forth just to get to work and back home. That is, those that still have jobs, since as this goes on, jobs disappear, either right here where we get laid off, or the whole company moves out to a cheap labor country. And as the hordes make demands for energy needs, power needed to heat and light homes and buildings is insufficient, and cities black out, the demand for gas soars, heating prices skyrocket, and our own supply of gas becomes insufficient to meet our own needs, and we become victims of the arabs, who use the pumps to revenge our policies they don’t like.

They pile over the borders or by plane on visitor visas, preying on the good naturedness of Americans to provide a refuge for the oppressed, they connive the appearance of the downtrodden and persecuted, and then sit down comfortably and stay here, leeching off the health care system which faces bankruptcy in 20 years, the welfare system that us sucker u.s. taxpayers have to pick up the tab for, and which we spent decades to build.

Social parasites from latin america, flock here to live free on us sucker taxpayers, dragging their families and relatives in, once they get green cards and then swamping the health care system with their third world illnesses and birth defects. And the other breed of latinos – criminals of the most evil intensities terrorizing communities in which they rob and kill.

Thieves and common criminals from the countries of eastern Europe and the soviet union, hearing that there is still stuff on store shelves when stores close, that hasn’t been shoplifted or sold, come and steal, with impunity.

Mafia organizations that control Russia and the countries of the former soviet union, setting up foreign crime systems that specialize in grand larceny, weaponry, even nuclear arms materials for sale, stolen from the old soviet system, available for sale to our enemies, raking them million$.

Africans with strange ,deadly diseases walk in, causing epidemics and death to our gay citizens and to innocent people in general and swamping the health care system.

Asians with alien religious philosophies, contrary to Christian monotheism, poisoning the minds of our youth. And they come and take our jobs away here in America, while employers, enticed by cheap labor, move their companies there, leaving us unemployed,.

Terrorists walk in and go about their death tactics with ease and we shudder at what they will do to us next.

All, contributing to crime, violence, social unrest.

Finally, To add insult to these injuries to our nation, our government picks up the tab for hundreds of thousands of third world “students” to come, pack our universities tuition free at the expense of us US taxpayers ,while we Americans fall into debt to pay for our own children to get a college education.


AND WE ARE EXPECTED TO PICK UP THE TAB WORLDWIDE
FOR THEM, WHENEVER S--T HAPPENS ANYWHERE.

What kind of fools are running this country?
What kind of fools are we to let this go on?

And WHATEVER HAPPENED TO LAW AND ORDER?

Surely the people of a country would never consciously and purposely do such a thing. Therefore its their leaders who must be the ones doing it, and if the leaders are supposedly representing the people, then what is the disconnect?
