Regardless of your political belief, what task or focus of administration are you hoping will be accomplished after the 2008 election is complete?

Why not? Its kind of undemocratic to say that you can only be elected twice. What if the people want you to run for a third, fourth, or fifth time?

Many Presidents would have probably been in office longer. Reagan and Clinton for sure.

What do you think?

I think he would.

Let's not forget that he didn't do that bad in the last round of Democratic primaries. I think he actually won a state. He's pretty popular and fairly uncontroversial.

He would appease those in the party who want a socially moderate democrat on the ticket, and also one who's big on security.

.... as republicans claim, how come they lost six out of the last seven of the elections for the House and Senate? Even 2006 was a squeeker where the Dems just barely took control.

D.C. will NEVER do anything about illegal immigration except pretend. Chertoff is the biggest conn this side of the Mason Dixie line. Like Giuliani, he is always talking about cracking down on illegals but never deportation. Martinez, his sidekick, just retired. He went and found another hispanic to spearhead the project. This man is nauseating! The American people will win the battle State by State. In the near future, certain Southern States will come down hard on illegals. Illegals will run to another State, which inturn will create stiff laws. Washington will get the message from the States. The States will do what D.C. failed to do. When Denver came down on illegals, most left overnight. This is the right way to do it. Laws must be created that penalize rich crooked politicians, corporations, private business and others with felonies and imprisonment. Many illegals will leave for having no place to stay or work. This is how to effectively fight illegal immigration.

The American Bar Association has recently asked for a stay on all executions, due to the court decisions that have called the current method "cruel and unusual punishment." The problems are concerning the drugs used in executions, one of which renders the prisoner immobile, unable to speak, move, or indicate pain. This drug is banned for use by veterinarians, but is used on human beings. Do you agree that executions should be halted until some humane method is found? Or do you believe in the Death Penalty at all? Since DNA testing has proven that innocent people have been sentenced to death, do you think the Death Penalty should be banned in the U.S. as it is in European countries?

1) Cutting off the lobes of ears: (We believe ears are dirty because my God said so in a book I wrote).

2) All men must wear designer silk gloves . (Part of my belief of not catching germs).

3) Women wear a hood over their heads with pictures of Motorbikes. (Motorbikes are sacred in my religion, and we must be allowed to carry a bottle of oil also).

4) I need seperate bathing areas to other religions where I bathe in tears of friends and relatives. (Vital part to my religion).

5) I require a special diet where I only can eat food that is cold. My preference is ice cream. (Any other way would be seen as very wrong to me and offensive).

6) I need buildings where I play rock music very loudly at 7am over loud speakers and nobody is allowed in the building if they are female, or they aren't a member of my religion.

7) If anyone draws a photo of a motorbike without consent, we riot/threaten or kill people - worldwide.

8) My own motorbike bank law with legal standing.
