lol, It is very funny because many hate Hillary. However;I rather have someone with some form of record than Obama, who speaks in quotes. Obama has no experience and I hate the fact that Oprah thinks she is God( she thinks she can decide for us who we should vote for). Hillary love her or hate her, she has Bill behind her. He is a great salesman and is powerful. The country needs experienced people in office not someone like Obama. Notice how he never talks about issues, just preaches. On the Republician side, it looks like Mike Huckabee. He has followers. But what the hell do I know.

I am hoping Hillary will get nomination. She's definitely not perfect but I believe she will be competent which is more than we have gotten in the past from others (which I will try to keep from going on a tangent about). I would have preferred Biden which makes me a real Dinosaur, I guess. (His plagiarism 25 years ago or so doesn't keep me from having tremendous respect for the depth of his knowledge about foreign policy.)

Obama's rhetoric is too empty for my tastes. I believe he is an amazing orator and that his heart is in the right place but I don't believe he fully understands the huge hostility that he will come up against if he were to get elected. It would take a while for him to finally start playing "hard ball" and I don't think we have the time for his learning curve.

I'm Republican and from the Bible Belt, so of course I like Huckabee......except for the fact that he wants to abolish the IRS! Whenever people use that phrase, I always wonder just how smart they could be. Whatever tax system we have, be it income, or consumption, there will have to be a government agency to oversee its collection.

As for Clinton, I'm impressed. She is an excellent speaker and presents herself very well indeed. She definitely knows all the right things to say. I do cringe, however, when I remember the national health care plan that she wants me to pay for. Well hell, I already pay for medicare and medicaide, so what am I thinking. I'm still old-school enough to wonder how we could elect a female president.

I like Edwards, but he is just too little boyish to have any credibility.

As for Obama, I've already said I don't want a president with a Muslim sounding name.

I guess when all us traditional baby boomers die, you chaps can have it like you want it.

Where is Ronald Reagen when we need him.

I like McCain, his is the one most likely to die before I retire and provide me with a National Day of Mourning.

Just JOKING!!!

Well I was glad to hear Hillary won NH because I think she is so intelligent, thinking it’s time to have an intelligent President not just some “likeable” character. I admire her and I think it’s time to do away with the misogynist trends in our society. I also think that the chance for a better economy lies with Hillary.

I would have been just as happy to have known Obama won NH because it would have herald the beginning of the end of our racist society.

My heart though was for Kucinich, Richardson and would cross-over for Ron Paul because I think we need to get “all the bums” out of the current Congress. I don’t think we can afford to buy into another “likeable” personality” nor another “religious right” candidate.
We need revolutionary change for the survival of the middle class!
Just my

No matter who wins they will have to deal with the horrible debt, ss, and Medicare. I don't envy anyone that takes that job. They WILL have to raise taxes and cut ss.

Get that money in that ROTH!!! Put money in a Traditional or TSP when the taxes are highest.

I like Ron Paul, but I liked Ross Perot too.

Now is not the time for this country to have a president who is extra friendly with our enemies. I can care less about what religion one chooses,but I care when one will be my leader. http://urbanlegends.about.com/librar...ama_muslim.htmObama's father, Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. was a radical Muslim who migrated from Kenya to Jakarta, Indonesia. He met Obama's mother, Ann Dunham-a white atheist from Wichita, Kansas-at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. Obama, Sr. and Dunham divorced when Barack, Jr. was two.

Obama's spinmeisters are now attempting to make it appear that Obama's introduction to Islam came from his father and that influence was temporary at best.
He also admitted to using all types of drugs. The guy is a con-artist. As far as having a women president. That does not bother me at all. Some of the best leaders are women. Thatcher just to name one. Think about it, every marriage the woman is the smart one. lol

Bill Clinton, how soon they forget.
There are many good reasons to NOT vote for Mrs. Clinton and he is the first. The main reason that I voted the first time Billy Boy ran for President was to vote AGAINST HIM! I did the same thing in the election for his 2nd term, but to no avail. I blame him for putting our country in the economic mess that we are in today. Thanks Bill for NAFTA, GATT and the other woonderful things that you did to drain our manufacturing and economic base and sent it over to third world countries leaving our dwindling Middle Class to burn in ECONOMIC HELL. As anyone that was there at the time knows, it's a wonder that Billy had time to do so much damage to our country while chasing skirts and screwing his friends and sending them to jail, they took the hit for Billy and Hilly. How can anyone in their right mind want that pair to control the USA again? NOT ME, ANYBODY, but not THEM AGAIN!
Ok I'm through, and really don't want to talk politics, and won't, but if you are or were in the MIDDLE CLASS, watch your BACK, remember you have had a knife in it for a long time and a few more stabs might finish us off.

All I remember is that oil was very cheap when Clinton was in office. The stock market was booming. I could care less he was chasing skirts. That is none of my business, I was not married to him. Obama would be the beginning of the end if elected. No experience and friendly towards the enemies.
