I feel that our recent elections have left us in this position, now it appears we vote for a leader, not a goverment or a local member, How like the Americans we are becoming. I, for one, do not wish to lose my Aussie identity or the individuality that brought our traditional 'natipnal identity' into being. Maybe both John and Kevin should concentrate on what is good for Australia before jumping on the 'Save the World' train. Our Government's first obligation is to the welfare of all Australians and until we resolve the situation between the original occupants who had their land stolen, even under the law that the 'Discoverers' were bound by, and the Government, until no Aussie citizen is living in poverty, until we clean up our own backyard. We're in no position to fix other people's problems. Disaster and famine aid, no problem to me but armed intervention in other people's problems; High costs, no return to the nation. Not even genuine kudo's.

I have 2 questions about the upcoming presidental elecions/ campaigning...

1) Political strategists say that a presidential candidate will need to raise $100 million to compete effectively in the early 2008 primary season. Where do the candidates get this money? How might the need to raise so much money influence our political system?

2) 10. Do you think the United States is ready for a woman president? An African American president? Explain.

So many Republicans seem so hurt and angry about losing power. After President Clinton takes office, what do you think she should do to reach out and help the country heal?

One of the ways presidents wield the greatest influence is in the people they appoint. Who do you think President Clinton should appoint to the key positions? Secretary of State? Defense? Interior? Energy? Any others?

A representative of our grand ole republic represents us constitutionally as our founding fathers intended when they penned our rights onto the constitution(bill of rights) & into our representation. A politician(magician!) on the other hand resorts to "trickery, magic & illusions" to manipulate the public to the "magicians" best interest. Why do so many people classify their candidate as a politician(magician) instead of a REPRESENTATIVE? Now that you know the difference as the two words are NOT even field related, Is your candidate a representative or just a politician"magician"??? If you vote in a "magician" might it be concluded that YOU will be "tricked" by the "magician" as that's what "magicians" do for a living?!! Do you know of a presidential candidate that has a 100% PERFECT constitutionally based voting record(there is only one currently standing for office!). If so, compare that REPRESENTATIVE with your "magician" & see what you come up with! It's NOT hard to do!

I used to be a Labour supporter many years ago, but I am amazed at how many people are so convinced that Kevin Rudd will be their vote because he says he will do a better job and gives us sayings more often in beer commercials.

Who thinks that we are being treated like fools by being continuously sold phrases like "Education Revolution", but don't seem to think we need to know how they are going to do it?

Every time Mr Rudd has opportunity to outline policy he gives us the usual line about Mr Howard "promising record low interest rates", but when it suits him says that interest rates are based on international influence.

I am so sick of it. I think Mr Rudd should explain how he is going to make interest rates go back down. If he can't I think he should stop treating us like idiots.

What do you think? Are we about to vote a party in who could actually win Government without EVER outlining a policy?

People on Yahoo Answers are just being incredibly ugly! I rarely see any kind of analysis of her opinions, record or positions. It's just name calling, insults and profanity. Do her opponents really have nothing intelligent to say? Is their fury just impotent lashing out at her almost certain victory?

I've seen where Pat Buchanan has said good things about Ron Paul. Pat has ran for President before and did well in New Hampshire in 1996(?) where Paul is gaining momentum. Would Paul chose Buchanan as a running mate?

It has always been the Clinton "m.o." to disparage, attack, harm, intimidate and attempt to destroy anyone for "whistle blowing" on a Clinton.

Funny, the Clinton apologists love whistle blowers when they the target is their political enemy- Valerie Plame, Erin Brokovich, John Dean, etc.; the whistle blowers they condemn are Paula Jones, Linda Tripp and now Muriel Gallo-Chasanoff better watch her back. Muriel came forward to bring evidence that sHrillery is filling public q/a's with ringers.

Don't forget sHrillery is the one who hired the P.I.'s and thugs to smear and intimidate the victims of Billy's trysts, harrassments, rapes, gropes, affairs, etc. sHrilery doesn't care who's blowing Bill's whistle, she only cares about protecting the farce of her marriage (HillBilly Camelot) that the Clintons and media have fabricated.

No representation without taxation?

Greater representation for greater taxation?

Perhaps the Decline and Fall of Western civilisation can be attributed to "the refusal to acknowledge that there is anything wrong with a corrupt and corrupting system of indiscriminate universal suffrage, which allows politicians to bribe the voters who take in welfare with the money of those who give in taxes. "

CNN has declared Hillery the "winner" of the last democratic debate. Exactly what kind of unbiased journalism is this? Aren't we supposed to gauge for ourselves who we thought did well, and is that even the point of the debates? I thought they were to familiarize ourselves with the candidates positions.

It seems the longer the career politicans are in charge, the more out of touch they are with the population. This is my opinion.
