Is America ready for a woman, a black man or someone like Ron Paul? Or are we going to get scared.....?

Question

and out of fear of trying something new, re-elect the same sh**, different body, as we did the last eight years? Will we fall for the same bullying tactics with the pathetic mud slinging commercials? Or are the young voters going to finally step up and put a stop to all this?? Come on people, can we really do worse?

Answer 1

Unfortunately, the only candidates are politicians... and as such, are somewhat lower on the evolutionary scale than say... untreated sewage... The candidates that run seem to have come out of a cookie cutter press, only the details change... It appears that I'll be voting for that "Libertarian Wacko" as one poster called him... Interesting how the Libertarian Party seems to be about as close to the Constitution as you can get and yet are viewed as some sort of fringe lunatics! I disagree with MANY of Mr. Paul's views, but when compared to what he's running against... I suppose I can always stick my finger down my throat AFTER I vote...

Answer 2

there is purely one thanks to be sure. IF the yank those who do help Ron Paul are severe and tireless of their pursuit, in the journey that they coach and tell sufficient human beings, in the journey that they get sufficient human beings to hearken to the message of Freedom, Liberty, Justice and Peace and then those human beings change into confident, triggered, and connect the Republican celebration, change into delagates on the Republican Conventions and absolutely vote for Ron Paul contained in the Primaries. Then convinced, u . s . is waiting. it is going to take a miracle, so now must be the time to roll up your sleeves, step-up, contribute and take action, create the non violent revolution, Take again YOUR u . s ., fix it as a beacon of wish contained in the international and not in any respect a beacon of worry and hatred. Ron Paul, arising a miracle, one voter at a time.

Answer 3

Gender has nothing to do with it. Hillary is corrupt , and Obama is not experienced, no way they should be in office, period. Ron Paul votes different than he talks, so I am not voting for these three for sure. Younger voters need to be aware that socialism and communism are very easily brainwashed into young minds. I hope younger voters are smarter than Clinton and Obama give them credit for.
An Example of Clinton's Lack of IntegrityHillary Clinton's campaign admitted today that it had been caught planting a question from an audience member at one of her campaign stops in Iowa. Clinton called on a young college student who asked a question about global warming and Clinton responded that she gets these kinds of questions all the time from the young people. My question is, if she gets these questions all the time why the need to plant it? Surely if she gets them all the time she would get it at this event.

There are many troubling items in the story. The story indicates that she did not know which questioners she would be calling on so why plant the question? How likely is it she would pick the plant unless she knew who it was? The article indicates:

«But the source of the question was no coincidence — at this event 'they wanted a question from a college student,' Gallo-Chasanoff.

The campaign is in defense mode because this might offend Iowans for whom «the caucus is held sacred and the impromptu and candid style of the town hall meeting is held dear, Clinton's planted question may come as a great offense to Iowans.»

I realize that there are supporters of Clinton who will comment that all candidates do this. I am sure many of them do though she is the only one caught. More importantly, she is supposed to be presenting herself as a different choice for the voters. If she is doing the same thing as everyone else, how different is she?

I imagine there are even those who will say this is not wrong to do or that it is no big deal. I agree that it is no big deal but if I were running I would just address the issue without the questioner. But then again, the Clinton campaign wants to look like it is addressing the everyday concerns Americans (and the Chinese and Europeans) have. I have suspicions that she is not asked this all the time. If there is any doubt that it was viewed as wrong, even by the campaign, they pointed out that they believe it was when they stated:

«...it would not happen again.»

Of course, they might mean they won't get caught again or they might mean not again as in Bill will not molest women again.

Despite the claims made by others, integrity does not seem to be held in high regard in that camp. Consider this post an example to support the claim (that she lacks integrity).

Answer 4

I'm ready for Ron Paul , i just hope enough other people are also


for those of you that say America isn't ready are you sure it is just you that isn't ready to agree that both party's have failed and keep running corrupt weasels for president and Hillary is part of them.

Answer 5

i am voting for ron paul. the other big players are running to get the women votes or the black votes. but america doesnt need either one. they need a real candidate who is running for the right reasons and cares about our country.

Answer 6

First of all I do not see how Ron Paul equates to a female or a black person. America would probably elect a female more readily than a black man I am sad to say. There is still a lot of closet racism and resentment.

Ron Paul is a good man but his philosophy runs against what is best for America. What might sound good to you often is not done for some very good reasons.

Do you know, for instance that there was a period of time when America had a trade surplus with the world and lots of protectionism? The result was the Great Depression.

There was a time when America did not involve itself in world affairs and kept it's military primarily between its own borders. The result was World War I and then when we did it again World War II. America learned a lot of valuable lessons from History. The Ron Paul types and the Pat Buchanan types have not.

Answer 7

America is a funny country, in some ways the most advanced in the world, in others, completely backward. Many other developed and even underdeveloped countries have or have had women leaders. Germany, Norway, New Zealand, Canada, Argentina, England, Ireland, Finland. Why is this such an issue then in the US?

Answer 8

I like the way that you asked your question. Are you using reverse psychology on us?

I would be scared if any one of these candidates did get in office! Foreign Policy Folks, it is a big issues and will continue to be for a long time.

Answer 9

It's going to be someone like Ron Paul

To be honest I don't see how a woman or a black person can win in today's American mentality

Dems are in a bad situation if Al Gore does not run

PS: in France Segolene was running but Sarkozy won because he had better ideas, and because....he was not a woman.

Answer 10

I dont think that America is ready for a woman, black man, or libertarinan as president but the Bush administration has screwed the Republicans so much that we will most likely have a woman or black man as president. As long as the Republican party stays to the far right that Bush has driven it, I dont see enough support for a libertarian as president bc they just wouldnt draw enough conservative support even if they picked up moderates. I think right now we are experiencing a political phenomenon in our society bc so many people are willing to look at candidates that never would have gotten support if the Bush administration had not screwed their party so much. I feel that there probably wont be another chance to put a minority in office after this election for along time so I would like to do this bc these are two minorities who are deserving....I am going to vote for Hillary and hope that she makes Obama her VP. I wont vote for Obama bc I think they would definently try to assisinate him. By putting him behind the scenes as VP people would get use to a black man having a lot of power and it wont be as big a deal when he one day becomes president. I also dont think Obama could win bc he couldnt take any state in the conservative south.
