Elections - December 2007

...been president rather than Bush?

Years and billions spent in green car engineering and the envt would have gone a long way. When i say 200 it could be 300MPG (using unheard 90 percent efficient solar panels on the roof, recharging when parked at the mall in the sun).

Instead we are wasting billions in Irak and on top of this we cannot really say that we found a solution for oil, we still feel not secure

I hope Al gore runs for prez and saves our energy crisis
Your reactions please...

for example, he wants to give illegal immigrants amnesty and is an advocate of second chances, which sounds to me like he feels sorry for people and does not want to put his foot down because of how he may be percieved. And it is easy to see why. Like a lot of people have said, Obama is very young and has a lot less experience than many of the other candidates. And while I do agree with him on many of the issues, the fact is that if he is going to be running the country then he has to know what he is doing and cannot act in lieu of his juvenile emotions. Doing so would only put this country further in jeaopardy and serve to prove his critics right. Does anyone else get this feeling about Obama? Like do you just feel that he may be too soft/forgiving to run this country unbiased if he was president?

I'm supporting Hillary Clinton because I think she has the best chance to beat the Republican candidate, and I think she'll make a very good moderate President. If she wins, than I'm going to look to Obama in 2016. If she loses, than I'll support Obama in 2012, unless Gore decides to run, in which case I'll have to make a decision between those two. Does this make sense to anybody else?

I woke up this morning and I saw all these illegal immigrants working on my mansion's lawn. They were mowing my grass. What are they doing here?!? They belong in Mexico!

I am Mitt Romney and I approve this message.

Next thing I know, they're going to start supporting Jerry Falwell, from the grave.

I don't want to question to be taken out of context so please read these details. I just got done looking at a poll that says over half of Americans say that faith & religion is an important factor when picking a presidential candidate. That is mind boggling because I never would have thought that. After looking at answers at Yahoo for the past couple of weeks though I would be willing to say those who would answers the question "it is not important" might also say that Huckabee is "bible beater" and is going to change America into a theocracy if elected president. Is that bias as well? I know people with faith, especially Christians (easy target), get the rap of not voting for someone because they don't believe a certain way, but isn't just as bad to not vote for someone because they do believe something? I would like honest well thought out answers if possible because I have been really thinking hard about the role of religion in politics, and viceversa.

If you aren't I recomend Atlas Shrugged for reading, if you've got a few years to spare that is.
It's an intriguing view of our political system, it may change a few, more Liberal minds.

Do the democrats have a chance to win the white house with Obama or Clinton?

Last 3 presidents: Clinton (arkansas), Carter (georgia), Johnson (texas)

Last 6 losers: Kerry (mass), Gore (tenn), Dukakis (mass), Mondale (minnesota!), McGovern (south dakota), Humphrey (minnesota!)

All of the winners have been southerners, and all of the losers from the north (except Gore who won the popular vote, but lost the electoral vote).

"Tom Tancredo is a Big War Advocate But Was a Vietnam War Draft Dodger Due to Claims of Depression"

--He's a flame throwing supporter of the Iraq War and demagogic opponent of "illegal" immigration (as in Mexican immigration, not white people immigration). As a college student, he also was a rabid enthusiast for our war in Vietnam.
But Tom Tancredo, the congressman who invites guests over to his Colorado mansion to watch John Wayne movies, was given a 1-Y deferment from serving in Vietnam. Why? Because he claims that he was treated for mental illness while in high school.

I am a Christian. I have heard from several Christians on the radio, in person, and even Dr. James Dobsen that if Rudy gets the nod, they cannot vote for him. The rationale is that they cannot vote for someone who is pro-choice, etc.

My question is for you who have stated that they could not vote for him (or any other pro-choice candidate even if they get the nomination) based on this or that they cannot vote for the lesser of two evils...

DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND THAT IF YOU DO NOT VOTE FOR THE LESSER OF TWO EVILS (if that is all that is on the ballot) YOU ARE VOTING FOR THE GREATER OF TWO EVILS BY DEFAULT?

I hope Rudy does not get the nod, but if it were him against any of those the dems have put forth, especially Clinton or Obama, I consider it a vote AGAINST the grreater of two evils.

I think so. He is a great statesman, and is correct on Iraq, Iran, and Darfur. He has PLANS too! Plus, he's honest. He always admits his past mistakes like his plagarism and is upfront and candid about it. And, that is about his only mistake, and for a politican - that's not bad. IMO.

Why aren't the Dem's sidin' with Biden???

I'm so tired of candidates running on canned slogans about what they are going to do about stuff that the presidency just has no control over -- usually because the issue is a constitutionally reserved state power, not a federal one. Example: education.
I realize that Congress can issue funded mandates to states that have to somehow be met, but generally they renege on the funding part and the mandate turns out to be a major fiasco in the end.
What I really want is a candidate who very honestly states what the president CAN do -- i.e. foreign trade agreements, veto legislation, seat supreme court judges, order the army around the globe (and hope that congress will agree), and present the face of America to foreign powers. Is that too much to ask?

Following Ophrah's aggressive endorsement of Obama, Many other black celebrities such as Will Smith, Forest Whitaker, Denzel Washington & a host of others are now coming out to support, endorse & campaign for Obama.----I have not heard of even ONE black celebrity who is endorsing or supporting ANY white Candidate ??????---Surely; this is not merely coincidental & if these black celebrities were really endorsing Obama because of his record & platform, NOT because of his skin color------Wouldn't the " law of averages " dictate that, in all likelihood, at least ONE black celebrity would endorse a white Candidate because they agreed with the Candidate's record & platform ??-- Are there now or do you think there will be ANY black celebrities who wil NOT endorse Obama but WILL endorse a white Candidate ??

A few years ago, they said that Kerry was a "flip-flopper" with no real stance who wasn't a strong candidate, and to an extent, I'll give them that (he didn't really "look" like a great leader).

Yet, there isn't one viable candidate here in the primary race for the entire republican party. I mean, say what you will about Clinton, Obama, & Edwards (which, all you can really say is that they're very well educated & have alot of political experience), but the republicans are banking their 2008 pool on:

a creepy, robot-like, uber-conservative mormon

A fictional TV judge from law & order

A guy who was pretty much dead-last in the runnings until he made the gayest Chuck Norris reference I've ever seen (and I've seen alot of em', those jokes got old 3 years ago)

And the guy who was mayor of NYC when it was attacked, which I'm not sure I'd be proud of (although that's certainly what he's resting his whole campaign on)

So, are the republicans pretty much expecting to loose?
