Elections - July 2007

New York has just been told we are not going to get any more money to help protect us from terrorist. Were the hell is our Senator Clinton? We are not as important to her as her run for the office of the president but you better believe she will be the first one crying that Bush and everyone but her should have done something if we are attached again. If she is not willing to do her job as senetor what can we expect from her (God forbid) she becomes president.

I think the success of Barack's campaign speaks so highly of our growth as Americans. He's black, he was raised by a single mother, he has Muslim lineage, and most people are still focusing on his academic achievements and features as a candidate.

As a part African-American convert to Islam who was raised by a single mother i've often been discriminated against and felt bitter towards America.

However, seeing Barack's success makes me so proud.

Maybe all this time.... it has only been our government that was backwards..... b/ it seems our people are not as racist or closed-minded as we might think

Most Republicans don't know jack about Fred Thompson but he is the front runner because he is an "Actor". They elected Arnold the "Governator" in Cali and he turned out to be a liberal. They loved Ronald Reagan because he could give a good speech and looked pretty good. They elected Jessie "The Body" Ventura in Minnesota a few years ago. Then you have other celebs like former Oklahoma star QB J C Watts, Tom Osborne the former Nebraska head coach and Steve Largent the hall of fame wide out from Seattle. They'll elect spoil rich brats like George W and Jeb Bush too. Then want Paris Hilton’s head on a platter when George W and his daughters made the same mistakes as Paris. My question is do you believe Republicans love Celebs so much that they elect them into office Strictly from name recognition? Who is Mitt Romney anyway? I actually heard a Republican strategist say he's a good candidate because he "LOOKS" like a President. I'm not trying to start a fight. I just noticed how hypocritical this is

For the record, I think Hillary Clinton is Satan in the flesh, but that's besides the point. I'm worried that a lot of women out there, particularly the ones who normally don't even care about politics and don't ever vote, are going to vote for Hillary just because they wanna see a female president. Everyone has the right to vote for whoever they want, but voting for a woman just to see her in the white house is stupid. Anyone else think this could be an issue?

I may not know all the regulations of federal elections....why is it that there is always such a shortage of voters at all the national elections....sometimes it's enough to make me think that there are just too many that are selfish and don't give a hoot as to where this country is going with its current leaders...someday it will be too late I tend to think sometimes. Don't you agree?

I've heard John Edwards "two Americas" speech several times, and all the democrats I've seen want to raise taxes to pre 2001 levels.

Most if not all of these people are in the top 1% themselves or at least have substantial wealth. Since these candidates talk about making the "wealthy" pay their fair share, do they already pay what they consider to be a fair share?

If so how much more than required do they pay? The tax rates are only a minimum, so is the extra they pay in taxes the same as they'd like everyone they consider wealthy to pay?

If not, why don't they? They call the current rates unfair, so why would they pay them? Do they use tax planning and things like trusts and other strategies to reduce their taxes? Shouldn't they already pay what they want to pay in the future if they had their say?

I saw in youtube.com, in a past democratic presidential debate, Hillary Clinton said she does NOT want English to be the official language of the US so that the Government will finance language translators in hospitals in the US.
If English is not the official language, then would the Government finance translators for schools and institutions as well?
By the way, Obama said that an official language does not matter.

Here's the video:

Sure. Put translators for each language (hundreds) in each of the thousands of hospitals in the US.

Sure. Put translators for each language (hundreds) in each of the thousands of schools and insitutions in the US.
That means in each classroom.

Do you think Hillary Clinton and Obama has COMMON SENSE?

I think the answer lies in his overall appearance. He obviously does not care about health, so is he really just wanting to gripe? About anything?

John McCain's campaign is losing two veteran Republican strategists in Iowa and will report a seven-figure debt for the second quarter in a row, back-to-back blows to a presidential bid still reeling from a major staff shake-up earlier this week.

"As much as I like Senator McCain, it's not a team I'm willing to stay involved with any longer," Failor said.

In more bad news for McCain, a co-chair of his Florida campaign — state Rep. Bob Allen — was arrested Wednesday after offering to perform oral sex for $20 on an undercover male police officer, authorities said. Allen, 48, was seen coming in and out of a restroom three times at a park in Titusville, Fla., said police Lt. Todd Hutchinson. He then approached an undercover officer and was arrested.

Is this the end for the man who refuses to leave Bush's side?

Just weeks ago, Arkansas Republican chairman Dennis Milligan, who describes himself as “150 percent” behind Bush and his Iraq war, said in an on-the-record interview with the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette: “At the end of the day, I believe fully the president is doing the right thing, and I think all we need is some attacks on American soil like we had on [Sept. 11, 2001], and the naysayers will come around very quickly to appreciate not only the commitment for President Bush, but the sacrifice that has been made by men and women to protect this country.”

I find it somewhat odd that almost all the Yahoo! news reports regarding leading Republican candidates are marred with negative news reports coming off the wire, yet the one's in regards to the leading Democratic candidates are full of praise. Is this just just some illusion of mine or do you agree with my observation?

Why? His views are quite moderate. He is the only candidate who really wants to be bipartisan and he is willing to take advice and listen to both sides.

During his time as an Illinois state senator this is one thing that made him famous. He gladly would go outside of his party lines and discuss issues with Republicans? So why do you dislike him so much?

In a very recent question about him and Hilary I heard replies such as "he sucks", and "both would be terrible". So please tell me, what is it that you dislike?

Our country seems to be teetering on what some would consider the most dangerous political slope in our history..with gallup polls reporting around a 14 percent favorable rating of congress and just over 20 percent favorable rating towards our president...Personally I think we need to hold emergency elections and clean out all of the political debris. I wish some of the politicians in office would take a look at themselves and realize they would be fired in any other job with those numbers and resign from office. I think we should start massive petitions to rescind the previous elections and start all over from scratch...
