Politics - 26 October 2007

Please, I really want those who have already decided to vote for Hillary to explain the reason(s) why they would do so.

her record as a US Senator is not even average, let alone spectacular. She has already practically offered all things to all people, and you know she can't possibly deliver it all, nor does she intend to.

Some will say, she has to be better than what we have. To that I say, not only is it poor reasoning to think so, it has been proven untrue in the recent past. When Carter ran against Ford, while I didn't vote for Carter, I felt he could not do worse, I was wrong.

So are you voting for her because
She is a Democrat?

She is a woman?

She's married to Bill?

You hate America?

You are part of the "I want my entitlements" crowd?

1. Why do people support a criminal US President?
2. Are you afraid to show yourselves and what's your true motives?
3. Isn't the essence of life truth and honesty?
4. Shouldn't we the people do good in the eyes of God?

In my own family I have a niece who mentioned she would like to join the air force after graduation . Her father served for twenty years and is a successful employee of a major defense contractor making 6 figures a year .
The dilemma is that support for her decision is weak and her mom refuses to even talk about it other then to forbid it .
At 18 she is free to do as she wants and will follow her own path in life .
So why is it that within my own family of so called conservatives they will not support the military that has been so good to them financially by offering up one of four children to the military . The older boys in 2002/2005 were counseled against joining the services , And went immediately to college to pursue legal and business degrees .

I have to wonder why so called conservatives who support the war do not actively support the war when their children mention they want to join .

Rudolph the red-nosed prosecutor
ran in-to Mafia woes
and if they ever saw him
they could kill him as they chose

All of the other prosecutors
used to laugh and call him nuts
They never thought poor Rudy
Would ever really have the guts

Then one foggy New York night
Gotti came to say
"Rudy , da boss says if you indict
you'll be swimmin with the fishes to-night"

Then all New Yorkers loved him
as they shouted out with gleeeee
Rudy the red-nosed prosecutor
NOW GO AF-TER HIL-LA-RY !!

I have my doubts as to what a conservative is these days .
I wonder if it is wrong to call Bush supporters conservatives and why they think they are .
Seperate out his so called moral positions and you find he is a liberal big government proponent .
Surely his affairs with women in his youth , His ,alcohol and drug abuse , and his liberal spending that bankrupted two companies would lead most true conservatives to the conclusion George Bush was a liberal .
So why is it we have so called conservatives supporting this draft dodging , alcoholic loser , who is destroying America at the rate of 3 billion dollars a day .

Come of it , what do you think we are, nuts? The whole world knows that you are and have been for years, When did you last read about the atrosity that the Americans have been getting up to in Iraq. When did you last read about peolpe starving of hunger in the southern states? You say that you have the most free press in the world? You only say that because that is what you are being fed. We find it hard to believe that the people of America can believe all the garbage that your press is feeding you. Billions in aid to the starving? When and where? We read the American papers and cant believe what we read. Can you show us just one piece of proof that you have sent any aid to anyone? In Europe our population is five times what it is in America and without trade with us America would be finacially skint in less than a year? We notice that your press is keeping very quiet. We dont keep harping on about what we do for the rest of the world and yet we do a damm sight more ,

Iran signed the nuclear non-proliferation treaty, which gives non-nuclear nations the right to develop nuclear technology for peaceful energy purposes.

Israel refused to sign it.

WASHINGTON -- The Bush administration's new package of sanctions against Iran widens the gap between the U S & its European allies over how to confront Tehran.
Efforts to push through a third round of United Nations sanctions snagged and prospects for a new internat'l coalition to impose economic penalties appear unlikely, so the administration decided to strike out on its own Thursday.

Secy of State Condoleezza Rice and Treasury Secry Henry M. Paulson Jr. announced unilateral sanctions that aim to cut off Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps, three key Iranian banks and others from any contact with the worldwide U.S. financial system. U.S. intervention in European business interests could deepen the unwillingness of European countries that already are reluctant to take part in any U.S. actions.
Rice stressed that the United States was committed to a diplomatic solution, although also saying if it chose a pathof confrontation, the U.S. and other countrieswould "resist these threats."

Pew Research Center Poll

"Some 45% of all Republicans report being very happy, compared with just 30% of Democrats and 29% of independents. This finding has also been around a long time; Republicans have been happier than Democrats every year since the General Social Survey began taking its measurements in 1972.

Since 1972, the GOP happiness edge over Democrats has ebbed and flowed in a pattern that appears unrelated to which party is in political power.
For example, Republicans had up to a 10 and 11 percentage point happiness edge over Democrats in various years of both the Carter and Clinton presidencies"

I'm curious. I've been blocked by a few people and I'm wondering what the purpose of this feature is. Since this is politics, I would think most of us want to be exposed to different ideas, not matter how ill-informed we may think the poster is.
I've never been rude (sarcastic maybe) in my answers so don't waste your energy being rude. Just try to answer my question with some decent reasoning.

Somebody like Georoge Soros should recruit 50,000 or so itinerant people who could move in to a state or congressional district with the idea of swinging the election toward the progressive candidate. Would there be a way to keep this secret? For all I know he is already doing this. I hope so. It would need to be done with a very low profile to avoid retaliation by the other side.

50,000 votes could make the difference in many house races and in quite a few close senate races.
