complete control of the House of Representatives, the Senate, and the White House for 8 years? And how will this failure effect the voting of those opposed to abortion this time around?

Some in Pakistan are calling Musharraf a killer. It started at the hospital where Bhutto was being treated and subsequentially died. It is believed Musharraf had her assinated, as she opposed his leadership and was running for Election and favored to win.

Setting aside Obama's inexperience ( which many view as a plus or minus ).....Obama's record clearly reveals that he MISSED 70 % of Senate Votes + Obama has advocated amnesty & entitlement programs for ILLEGAL immigrants.----Is this what we need to " lead the US into the promised land ", as some have suggested, or would these actions & policies lead the US down the Road to Ruin & Disaster ???

Romney appears not wanting voters to talk about his mormon religion. And, many candidates are christains too and they don't about it that much.

I mean, he basically gives a sermon every time he is asked about his faith. I am a Christian, and I feel like he is using his religion to try and win over voters. Does anyone else feel this way?

I am not voting for him, by the way.

What do you think of this? In straw polls, people actually show up to vote, and dont just answer questions on the phone. It seems that Ron Paul is going to win this election!

Huckabee was asked in an interview-
'what do you think of Mormons?"
To which he replied-
' not much, aren't they the ones who believe Jesus and Satan are brothers?"
To which Mit Romney replied- 'no, we don't teach that. This question comes up often by those who want to discredit our faith.'

The media on all networks then accused Huckabee of attacking Mit Romney.
My question- was the media fair? Did any one of them check out the truth? Just a little research turned this up-----

A. The Devil was born as a spirit after Jesus "in the morning of pre-existence," (Mormon Doctrine, page 192.)
B. Jesus and Satan are spirit brothers and we were all born as siblings in heaven to them both, (Mormon Doctrine, p. 163.)

And this Mormon teaching video used to train their children-

senators and congressmen in their 70's or 80's don't worry about bills, health care or any of the day to day things that
matter to most people. they have all the wealth and power they
will ever need and I would really love for them to have to use
social securtiy for their health needs when they step down!!!!

Because during caucuses and primaries, only registered party members are allowed to vote, and in some states, they allow independents to cross parties, to be able to vote.

Ron Paul is leading in the national polls! 33%

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The result of months of polling actual voters certainly destroys the phone polls the media pundits want you to believe.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
by Robert Werden
(Libertarian)
The pollsters insist that polls conducted over the phone are the most scientific way of accurately assessing a candidate’s viability. This statement couldn’t be further from the truth. What it all boils down to in the end is votes. On Caucus and Primary day you cannot phone in your vote and for all the Ron Paul supporters you cannot click your vote either. You must show up in person and cast your ballot live.
The Ron Paul brigade has proven they can vote. Ron Paul wins every single internet poll as well as almost all cell phone text message polls after network debates.

The question media pundits are constantly asking regarding the huge internet voting and fund raising success of Ron Paul is can he translate his tremendous support into Caucus and Primary votes?

Well let’s take a look at what that means. To the media, polls are success. Polls determine who gets the most media coverage. Polls determine who gets endorsed by big names in both politics and from Hollywood.

The Ron Paul supporters have proven online votes and text message votes, but have they proven votes in person, where you actually have to leave your computer or couch and travel somewhere, listen to a bunch of stump speeches then wait in long lines to vote? The only test of that are straw polls. Straw polls are actually a rehearsal for Caucus and Primary day. They are held in almost every state and require a person to travel (sometimes hours away), sit through speeches and stand in lines to vote. Furthermore straw polls are also GOP fund raisers, so in order to vote you often have to pay about $35 to $55.

So now you’re getting to the question the media pundits are asking. The translation to actual votes!

There have already been close to 50 official straw polls throughout the country. There is a website that keeps track of these events and tallies the scores just like the Media and pollsters do. Now remember straw polls are the closest you can get to actual voting. There is no spammers clicking on 50 internet polls per day, there is no phone polling to the miniscule reminant of the decimated Republican Party. These are real people taking the day off to go and support their candidate. So without further ado here are the results.

Source www.usastrawpolls.com

As you can see the candidate with the most number of Straw poll wins is Ron Paul. Also notice that the current break through front runner in the phone polls Mike Huckabee has won only 2 straw polls.

Candidate# Wins

Ron Paul 25

Fred Thompson 24

Mitt Romney 22

Rudy Giuliani 7

John McCain 5

Mike Huckabee 2

Duncan Hunter 2

Alan Keyes 0

Now here is the really shocking statistic of these real life votes. If you look at the total straw polls and average Ron Paul’s polling percentage the same way phone polls are averaged, the percentages of votes for Ron Paul is 33.02%.

Source http://www.ronpaul2008.com/straw-poll-results/

33.02% is the media pundits answer to their question of translation to actual votes.

So if you were hesitant to throw your endorsement towards Ron Paul because of the Medias assessment of viability, your likely in a genuine position to justify Ron Paul as your candidate.

I say, welcome to the Ron Paul Revolution.

I am wondering if John McCain has too hard a time working with other politicians that if he was President he would get know where.

With all the talk of the President I urge you to truly take a simple action and get rid of the Electorial College. Make it so that our vote really does matter. Until then it doesn't matter what age, race, religion or any other crazy difference we can pick out to make certain people better fit then others. We don't have a say until the people's votes are the only thing that matters.

Why is presidential hopeful Ron Paul so seemingly popular on the internet and even with many people outside the interent with signs and all soppurting him,but i've been told he won't last in the election too long.Is it because most of his soppurters are under the age of 18?

The Congressman claims complete reverence for the Constitution, yet in his imagination, the Presidency seems to have unfettered authority to make sweeping changes to government. And the Paul Bearers talk a good game in support, but they don't specify either. Under what authority does Ron Paul plan to:
1) Put the US economy on the Gold Standard (and where will the necessary amount of gold come from)?
2) Abolish the Income Tax?
3) Abolish the CIA, FBI, ATF and other agencies?
4) Abbrogate NAFTA and the WTO?
5) Withdraw from the UN and NATO?

Right now the United States is politically polarized between Democrat and Republican, with both sides becoming more extreme and both sides becoming more and more unwilling to compromise. If a well-known Democrat and a well known Republican were to both leave their political parties in the upcoming 2008 election and run together as independent candidates, would they have a shot at getting elected, and would this bring the US back toward the unity of purpose that made us a great nation to begin with?

These two candidates are the best each side has but they get little attention on YA or in the MSM. They both are straight talkers not poll driven so why haven't they caught on more
