If he does lose at the Republican convention, do you think he will run as an independent in the general election?

I found this refreshing and informative. What do you think?

I understand the government isn't known for doing logical or fair things, but it just seems so ridiculous to me that because I'm not affiliated with any political party, I get stuck with just Democrat or Independent candidates. I feel like I'm being punished.

I've never really noticed if the same thing applies to the primary elections either. It's just during the preliminaries, correct?

He seems so Presidential to me and takes on the touch issues, It boggle my mind he's ignored. Democrats will lose in '08 if they don't select Joe Biden. Mark my words, it will be a Republican again in 2009.

And how do you feel about this townhall meeting, where he takes away the mic from these city workers, then proceeds to call them morons.
The action begins around 1:02 on the video.

theres too many people waiting in line for healtcare and the gov't starts to ration it out?

if you are old, you probably wont be put too high up on the list. especially if you are retired, you are not bringing anything into the society so why would the gov't help you live longer?

would people with terminal illnesses be given treatment at all?

if you are not a young, fit person with many more years to live and contribute, you will not be given healthcare right away, if at all. it might sound okay now, but what about in 20-30 years when you are old and need help and medicine and the gov't says, no, we're going to give all the healthcare we would give to you to someone else who is younger and can contribute more to society. would you feel you made the wrong decision when your gov't tells you you mean nothing to them any longer?

Here are a few quotes from RICHARD HAASS President of the CFR and special advisor and "friend" to Mike Huckabee:

"... states must be prepared to cede some sovereignty to world bodies if the international system is to function."

"Some governments are prepared to give up elements of sovereignty to address the threat of global climate change."

"... sovereignty must be redefined if states are to cope with globalization."

"Globalization thus implies that sovereignty... needs to become weaker."

"States would be wise to weaken sovereignty in order to protect themselves..."

-Richard N. Haass

ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA – According to the New Hampshire State Republican Party and an Associated Press report, Republican presidential candidate and Texas Congressman Ron Paul will be excluded from an upcoming forum of Republican candidates to be broadcast by Fox News on January 6, 2008.

“Given Ron Paul’s support in New Hampshire and his recent historic fundraising success, it is outrageous that Dr. Paul would be excluded,” said Ron Paul 2008 campaign chairman Kent Snyder. “Dr. Paul has consistently polled higher in New Hampshire than some of the other candidates who have been invited.”

Snyder continued, “Paul supporters should know that we are continuing to make inquiries with Fox News as to why they have apparently excluded Dr. Paul from this event.”

PLEASE write Fox news
yourcomments@foxnews.com
Make sure you put your question in the subject line
"Why aren't you including Dr. Ron Paul in your Jan 6th Republican forum?"

Who would you vote for in the democratic & republican primaries? Why?

I'll bet Obama has met many, white and black folks that have experienced this. And, it broke his heart. That is one of the reasons he is running for president.

Have you ever met anyone who was sick, and had no insurance or a way to get emergency care? I know Obama has, and he took them to a doctor too. But he could get to everyone with the same problem. That is why he is running for president, and that is why he will win.

Would you vote for a man from congress, to be the next president of the U.S.A. , or at least be interested in learning about a congressman that...

Has never voted to raise taxes.
Has never voted for an unbalanced budget.
Has never voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership.
Has never voted to raise congressional pay.
Has never taken a government-paid junket.
Has never voted to increase the power of the executive branch.

Has voted against the Patriot Act.
Has voted against regulating the Internet.
Has voted against the Iraq war.

Does not participate in the lucrative congressional pension program.
Returns a portion of his annual congressional office budget to the U.S. treasury every year.

"This man" introduces numerous pieces of substantive legislation each year, probably more than any single member of Congress.

Does this individual sound the least bit interesting to you ? Do you know who this man is ???...Do you want to know ???

Seriously, why don't you just take a look at the candidates positions and decide if they fly for you.

Then examine the man (or women, if you want to call her that) and decide if their record matches their current platform. Perhaps compare old positions with new. Try to understand their history.

You would have to be a bandwagon hopper for you to change your mind on a candidate. Why would you even support one if you didn't know what they were all about? I don't believe the media hype that "tons of voters are undecided." Yeah right. Your thoughts?
