Elections - December 2007

I have not seen any candidates that really turns me on for this upcoming presidential election in the U.S. At best they are just routine politicians that just want to be elected to the highest office. I do not see that outstanding leadership qualities that really makes me want to get out and vote. In fact I dont know if we have anyone with the necessary leadership qualities that we need in this troubled economical, foreign policy area, or domestic policies that would guide us towards a resolution to the many problems that this great country is undergoing at present. Where are the Harry Truman's, Roosevelt's, Patton's, McArthur's, I just dont see them. Perhaps McCain's father would have been one such candidate, but, I dont see his father in him. But I guess if he is the only one we got to work with, then he must be the man.

On 1 January, the Federal Elections Commission will close it's doors and not reopen for an indefinite period of time.

The 6 member commission is presently only 2 strong. President Bush has nominated 4 new members, but Democrat gamesmaship has held up their confirmation.

Further, Congressional Democrats have cooked up a scheme to keep from actually recessing as tehy normally would. With no recess, the President can make no recess appointments.

So what effect will all this have, with there being effectively no oversight, on campaign spending. At teh very least, we won't have to listne to the Paul-bots talk about who got more money from whom--no one will know.

Probably the following BBC report explains:

Extracted from BBC News item :
Iowa: the reality check for candidates

The BBC's North America Editor Justin Webb explains why this sparsely populated, rural state is so crucial for White House contenders.

Why should our presidential election be so heavily influenced, other Americans sometimes ask, by 100,000 or so people who actually turn up to the Iowa caucuses, most of them white and most of them over 55?

The honest answer is that Iowa and New Hampshire, and the other handful of early votes, for all their unfairness, at least give the system a connection with local communities.

Or give me a site to help me understand which is most influential. The caucuses "lock" in the delegates voting at the conventions, right ? but I see a few states had their delegate votes removed because they moved their caucus up too early or too fast ? why did they do this ? In the end, what gets the candidates into the position to be elected for President ? Sorry, I am 57 and love politics but have never taken it to this level and I am confused. thanks for any clear, knowledgeable answers.

Do the Mormons and Mitt Romney have a secret, hidden agenda ??? Why not do a little research here ?? The link provided is a good place to start, but if you want to enlighten yourself you need to go further, and do even more research.

Recently; there has been some discussion over whether or not the Trinity United Church of Christ, which Obama has indicated that he is a member of, is actually a Black Seperatist or Black Supremacist Church ?? --Approximately two weeks ago; the website of the Trinity United Church of Christ had set forth their 10 " Commitments " exclusively to Black Culture, Black Community, Black Ministries, Black Families, Black Christian Experience, etc.----Today, I observed that, for reasons unknown to me, the Trinity United Church of Christ website has been changed considerably whereby the 10 " Commitments " have been changed to 10 " Points of Vision " & many of the previous all Black references have now been deleted & now replaced with less denominational " Points of vision " re: " adoration ", etc. or " Christian Experience " as opposed to " Black Christian Experience "? - Did anyone else notice this change ? Do you think this was an attempt ( sincere or otherwise ) to change their image ?

Every Year the write-in candidates get a few votes that aren't generally discussed.

Sometimes people write-in silly fictitious names or the names of past Presidents who are already deceased.

Mickey Mouse is usually a top contender in this category from what I hear.

How many votes will Mickey get in '08?

I think global warming is an important issue. The USA heavily pollutes. Regardless, we have the opportunity to make our country one of the greenest countries in the world. Lots of "green jobs" could be created and we could set an example for other countries. We are more like China and Russia in terms of our pollution policies. It does not have to be this way. Do any presidential candidates think this way?

Will the Presidential candidates religious views be a minor, or even the main, reason you vote for them?

I'm from England and interested to know if religion in politics plays an important part in your voting decisions.

here are some pictures of mitt romney helping victims of the san diego wildfires. this was not a publicity stunt- there was no media coverage. this was just an email i receieved circulated by the man they helped. matt- mitt's son called some people in devastated neighborhoods and asked what could be done to help (he did not disclose who he was) one man said that he had a torched oak tree in his front yard that was endangering his house and was having trouble removing it. they set a date for a wednesday. the man left that morninig to get the workers treats, when he came back they were already there working. much to his suprise there was in jeans and a t-shirt mitt romeny and his son, digging away at his roots. there was no media- just some security, and a hand full of hard workers trying to help out a nieghbor.
