OK, so no one thinks this is strange? Obama is getting secret service "protection" 9 months ahead of any presidential candidate ever. I think it's because they (media, racist polititions etc) have not been able to find enough dirt on Obama to tarnish his image so they are putting the ragged dogs on him. I just don't trust it and I think it's a set up. I mean, can you believe that G.W. would even OK government spending on Obama after the way G.W. has shown himself to be prejudice against minorities in the past? Again I think it's a set up!

If not, don't you feel slightly guilty that your right to take part in the democratic process (won by people who have died for that right) has been wasted?

Chelsea Clinton asked a returning US Soldier about
fear. He said there were only 3 things he was afraid of: Osama, Obama and Yo Mama.

Aside from the war in Iraq I would like to learn plainly and clearly how each candidates stands on:

Illegal immigration
Taxes (raise or lower?)
New welfare programs
Universal Health Care
The Supreme Court
What additional welfare programs they support or intend to enact
What role they have as Commander in Chief
How do they feel about late-term abortion
What role they should have in silencing 'freedom of speech'.
How do they feel about faith-based organizations.

I purposely did not reveal how I feel about these issues and I'd really like some serious answers.

Also, do you think any of them, Dem or Rep, will address these issues that are on the minds of the average, working citizen of the U.S.

Obama is black, and despite the PC BS, there are still many racist people in the US. Yes, he is an empty suit, and I think he won’t get elected not only for this, but because, yes, he’s black.

Hillary, despite Bill Clinton and the enormous growth intellectually and wisdom he has shown, she will be the death because of her domineering attitude, her general intense dislike amongst those who do dislike her and…she’s hillary, whatever.

If they nominate either Hillary or Obama, the democrats will lose.
In reality, they are political statements, not actual nominees....the actual ones who have a run are Richardson, Edwards and (surpise) Al Gore...which is waiting the others kill each other only to emerge later--why would it be in his interest to do otherwise anyway? (this is captain obvious).

Richardson seems reasonable enough, I don’t personally like Edwards because he seems to me an even bigger blowhard than a normal democrat….if you have a wife with cancer, you

Not only are they hypocrites, but bad hypocrites, at least if they were like lou dobbs (so blatantly hypocritical but attempting to conceal it its funny), then it would be endearing...just look at obama, that guy is obviously a hypocrite. I am not a republican or a democrat, but democrat politicians do seem to me to be less cool. I consider the far left and the far right the same extreme uptight person btw.

The democrat politician (such as reid, pelosi, obama, hillary, edwards...al gore)

as a psychological profile, tend to be very uptight inside, yet have a very fake image on the outside...causing them to be in upheaval

so, yea, They are fake. I don't think this exactly an esoteric view.

What would happen if she won, what would they call Bill Clinton? The first man? LOL.....I think that she is just running to get Bill back in office, it would be like the wizard of oz, bill would be running the country behind a curtain with Monica! LOL

I certainly would NOT under any circumstances vote for a Mormon.

I never let religious beliefs get in the way of voting for policy-supporters, but this particular set of beliefs tells me that I can't take the person's powers of reasoning seriously.

I hate to put it like that, but read up on it, seriously. I can't see myself taking a person seriously who believes this stuff -- and i can't see how the rest of the world could take him seriously either (they might take note that one of his articles of faith is that the new zion will be established on the american continent - lol)

Every major news station barely covers this guy. On msnbc tomorrow there is a debate between all the major Republican candidates. Ron Paul is the best candidate to come up in years. Seriously if everyone knew who he was he would be president for sure. If you wanna look him up go to ronpaul2008.com and click on issues for his opinions on the major issues facing the U.S. There is no way you can disagree with anything he says. Fox News, CNN, MSNBC and all other stations will have failed in their attempt to keep him hidden when tommorow night the entire U.S gets to view this man's greatness. Vote Ron Paul in 2008 and check him out on MSNBC tomorrow.

Brief Overview of Congressman Paul’s Record
He has never voted to raise taxes.
He has never voted for an unbalanced budget.
He has never voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership.
He has never voted to raise congressional pay.
He has never taken a government-paid junket.
He has never voted to increase the power of the executive branch.

He voted against the Patriot Act.
He voted against regulating the Internet.
He voted against the Iraq war.

Trade unions should look after the interest of its members.
Mahila Samiti's should look after its Mahila members.
Teacher association should look after the interest of teachers.
Youth Organisations should look after the young people.
Student body should look after the interest of students.
Now every political party has got a student wing,a labour wing,
a lawyer wing,a Doctor wing,a Mahila wing,a clerical staff wing,a policeman wing and so on.If they want to do political
work they should become members of the political party.
They should not utter like a parrot the political slogans of the
party.They get the whole climate vitiated.

In Bangladesh Law adviser Mr Mainul Hosein said the Election
Commission has been requested to cancel registration of
those parties with student bodies and trade unions affilated to it. "I have told the Chief Election Commissioner that there
should be a law that no political party can use the teachers
and students to its advantage."

Democrats said America wants change right? So of course all the elected officials voted to override since they're worried about re-election right?

Or are the Dems full of the bull stinky stink?
