Do the presidential candidates so far give you a sick feeling in your stomach?

Question

Being black or a woman doesn't initially make someone fit for office- gimmicks like this scare me. (I personally think Alan Keyes would make a good black president- level and moral; he should run instead)

Obama- Has "socialist" written all over him. The 60's called...
Hilary- sounds like someone that could either make or break are country, and I don't want to take that gamble
Jeb- this is just a rumor right? PLEASE say it's a rumor!

Answer 1

I don't think people understand!!! When they want to increase the life of many people, they turn to government!!!! The worst mistake one can make! You have to force humans into competitive markets. Politics are too easily corrupted and if you notice, the people who plead for more social government intervention are the same people who have never picked up a book on economics!!! The quality of government help is autorocious and at the same time the competitive free market has been known to build the best efficiencies ever created! The private sector builds and the government pulls down! I am not saying that people like Hillary are evil, I am just saying they are brainwashed into thinking that the government will be the end all solution to the worlds problems!!! This is not and never will be viable! Instead of people preaching government intervention they should be educating the children to be self responsible, helping them understand economic freedom, and also leading by example! If people stopped and researched the goods and bads of over subsidization, we would have no economic liberals! You cannot overpay for goods and services and expect more technological and medicinal advances! Socialism doesn't work and every nation that goes through this process has paid more dearly than those who have not! America is not on free market healthcare anymore! This is one of the reasons why 35% of people can't afford insurance! It's not that there is too little government, but that there is too much government already! This double headed snake has to be tackled at the root! The addition of branches just makes it strong reducing the hope and strength the people have! I truly believe and would die to make the world a better place. The funny thing is, we shouldn't have to die for it! Human nature builds the best worlds, fighting this nature is actually fighting human nature! As long as conservatives and liberals thirst for control of others, we will never be able to have the best lives! It is sad but true! Competitve markets, not high taxes and big government build the greatest nations, highest average life expectancy, lowest amounts of child labor, lowest unemployment, more goods and services, better efficiency, lower adult literacy rates, lower infant death rates, as well as the greatest growth of income per capita! The problem is nobody ever researches these things! They always look at a politician and do whatever they say should be done! There is a reason that America doesn't have France's debt and 10.2% unemployment rate. There are reasons why France and Sweden's healthcare are starting to decrease in services rendered! There are reasons why Cuba, Venezuela, Africa, and many other socialist type countries are beginning to decrease in almost every category addressed above! Without knowledge these people are left to opinions, bad opinions. When I reject a government intervention they look at me as a devil even though I know I am doing the best thing for the future of society! It is sad to know that people are so bad that we can't even count on government! Many European countries were very rich before becoming socialist and now they are being drained more and more everyday! The downfall of society is not because of greedy people in the private sector, it is because of uneducated voters that pick a side without research! This cycle of life will never stop and there is nothing the few educated people can do to stop it! World socialism is beginning and it will cause more deaths than communism's 100 million murders! The broken window fallacy is applied in almost every case in this example but many will disregard it! It is sad that so many people care, but that very few of those people understand the best way to help! Teach self reliability to your children, help them understand philanthropy! Help them understand why human nature needs to be placed into competitive markets and why governments destroy growth and prosperity, especially for the poor! Help them understand the truth and lies from the politicians words! It is sad but in todays world, many people do not understand how things just have to be! Heaven on earth is not attainable! Never will be! Economic freedom such as Hong Kong will be exactly what is needed to spread religion peacefully as well as giving the best lives possible to the most people! Give freedom to all ~ Libertarian

Answer 2

I secretly like Obama. I say secretly because I have enjoyed him since the DNC in 2004, but I don't want to be on the band wagon. I honestly think that Hilary could make some significant changes in the country and the world, but that is just my opinion. However, if Jeb runs I will make it my personal mission to ensure that he doesn't get past the primaries.
Either way, 2008 is going to be a historical election year. We should all be thrilled to witness such an exciting piece of history.

Answer 3

Betty May, please don't judge people by the crap you read and hear from the "opinion columnists" in the papers and the screech monkeys on "talk radio". These scumbags would like nothing better than for thinking people like you and me to abdicate our responsibilities as citizens and swallow their offal lock, stock and barrel. Obama is not a socialist. As for Hillary being a gamble - hon, you gamble every time you pull the lever in the voting booth: ain't no guarantees in politics or governance. Haven't you heard the saying "Nothing ventured, nothing gained"?
Don't let others tell you how to vote: listen carefully to the candidates, take note of who's backing them and then decide...you should not have finalized who you'll vote for more than a week before the elections.

Answer 4

Check my 360 blog. I'm tuned out until thirty days before the election. I don't read the papers, I switch channels when they have something.
What I heard today on the radio was classic pandering to African-Americans by Hillary and Obama. Disgusting people we have to choose to be a leader.

Answer 5
