Elections - December 2007

Like Hillary isn't exactly gorgeous - but they make her presentable and her appearance is well taken care of. Compare Rudy Guiliani with John Edwards or Obama with Huckabee. Only one who seems hot on the Republican side is Thompson's wife Jeri Kehn.

In a time when appearances mean a lot - why are there no attractive Republican candidates?

He can keep up the fight on terror.
He can keep the nation together.
He can keep our economy strong like he has been doing the past 7 years.

This is not an inflammatory question. I want to hear about things that I may have overlooked. I've pretty much already decided that I'm voting for Ron Paul if he's nominated, or runs as an independent. Nearly everything about him that I've read and heard is positive. I want you to point out bad things about him. I've got all the reasons to vote for him, but I want to be certain that I'm making the correct decision this time around.

I have heard that Ron Paul would supposedly harm financial aid for college students, but no supporting evidence was given for that claim. Please give supporting evidence for your claims.

Even if the fact that he is wealthy means that he can't possibly really care about less fortunate people (which is ridiculous), why does it matter? If he enacts policies that help these people, who cares why he's doing it?

If you simply oppose helping the poor in general, that is a completely separate issue....

ORANGEBURG, South Carolina (CNN) – Former President Bill Clinton said Monday that the first thing his wife Hillary will do when she reaches the White House is dispatch him and his predecessor, President George H.W. Bush, on an around-the-world mission to repair the damage done to America's reputation by the current president — Bush's son, George W. Bush.

"Well, the first thing she intends to do, because you can do this without passing a bill, the first thing she intends to do is to send me and former President Bush and a number of other people around the world to tell them that America is open for business and cooperation again," Clinton said in response to a question from a supporter about what his wife's "number one priority" would be as president.

A spokesman for the George H.W. Bush was not immediately available to comment on whether the former president would chip in some diplomatic help after his son leaves office next year.

Clinton and the elder Bush, rivals in the 1992 presidential election, have grown chummy in recent years, often traveling and appearing at public events together. In 2005, they started a charity to help victims of Hurricane Katrina.

UPDATE: The Republican National Committee issued this statement in response to Clinton's comments:

"In 2009, a Republican president will be working with our friends and allies abroad to continue to keep our nation safe," said RNC spokesman Danny Diaz. "The American people expect our leaders — both current and former — to present serious solutions to the very real challenges confronting our nation."

Republicans are always howling about Bill Clinton and his affair with Monica. Yet one of their highest ranking Presidential Candidates is Rudy Guiliani, who tucked his mistress into the Gracie Mansion where his wife and family lived. There has been all kinds of stories concerning this romance, previous marriages that were hidden, taxpayer's money used to keep the mistress safe and sound. Along with that are stories of Rudy's friendship with a man now indicted for various crimes, a man that Rudy wanted to place in a top level Bush Administration job.

Considering the fact that Republicans thought Clinton's sexual mistakes were so horrifying, one would think that Guiliani's background would cause his poll numbers to be low. Is he, then, the epitome of morality and family values, those two virtues Republicans claimed they respect so much? How can the Republican Party seriously consider a man like this as President without admitting that Clinton's frolic was not so bad after all?

I was recently laid-off from my job (housing market sucks). We have two of our three children in day care. Our income was cut by more than ½. My wife and I tried to get help with the daycare bill ($1000.00 a month) so I could go to interviews. The agency that deals with this help told us that we both have to be working to get this help. That is all fine, but, not a week before I saw a lady pull up in a brand new 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 ($30000.00) much nicer than my Ford F150 ($6000.00). She picked up two kids and left like I did. She signed her kids out in a different book than I did, so I asked my wife about the two sign-in books. She told me one was for the people who pay and one was for the people with government help. My wife and I make good money and we struggle every month with the daycare so I know that people need help but also, I am the one who had the kids and they are my responsibility to pay for there upbringing. I get tired of paying for my kids and all the other kids. I am a republican but am not happy with the Bush leadership. My question is candidate will help the middle class the most and fix some of these programs. Should I even find this situation wrong and this doesn’t even go into the collecting unemployment headache.

Thanks for you thoughts.

P.S. I found a job within a week so this didn’t hurt me that much, but it could have, and it will hurt someone else.

Ron Paul has the option to accept $18,000,000 dollars this month from the governmment to fund his campaign, it's called Federal Matching Funds. He has chosen not to do so while every other canidate has elected to spend taxpayer money in thier pursit of more power. Why has Ron Paul elected against it? The answer is becuase he is a man of principal and backs up his words with his actions, since he is against government spending and taxation and supports the constitution it would be immoral for him to take this money. THe real question is why do the other canidates take our money to further their nefarious plans?

What are your feelings regarding gay marriage?

Does a potential candidate's endorsement in favor of/opposing gay marriage REALLY influence your view of that candidate and whether or not you will vote for them?

I'm interested in Conservative and Liberal viewpoints on this issue, particulraly those that leave religion out of the argument for or against it.

This is exactly why the Electoral College now needs to be removed. My vote won't count! Maybe it's time for a direct election! If we had a direct election then everyone's vote would count! This is just another reason why our country is falling to the wayside. It's time we modernized some more.

I am a Ron Paul supporter, but I find it hard to believe how many people keep giving him money when he is not even considered a threat to anyone else in the run for Presidency in many media outlets (magazines, tv, etc). I have seen many articles that don't even mention him or his beliefs recently when comparing the Presidential hopefuls. Then I got an email yesterday stating that on one day he was sent $6.04 million. I mean, why isn't he even mentioned in most places when it seems as though a good amount of people are behind him? I am not asking as a supporter, just as a questioner.....more about the media and how they handle things than Ron Paul himself.
