"What amazes me is that, even with all the controversy surrounding Bush's first "election" results, nepotism, and his background, etc., he actually got voted in the second time!!! What??? Duuhhh....

I have a theory on how this happened, here it is.

Prior to the first primary for the 04 election, Howard Dean had a big lead over the field and was a shoe in to win in Iowa. Out of left field comes John Kerry a guy who didn't show any charisma in the debates, if anything he looked more like a cadaver than a president. What the F happened. I'll tell you. The Iowa primary was an OPEN primary (which should be barred IMO) which means anybody can vote including republicans. I believe that meetings were held by the Bush campaign (this has Karl Rove's barf stink all over it) to determine which democrat would be the easiest one to defeat in the general election and Kerry won the toss due to the anti war baggage he carried from Viet Nam. Rove sent out the word to his minions to pack the primary with votes for Kerry and the rest is history. Remember, winning the fist primary gives a candidate tremendous momentum which, unless he/she is really stupid will carry through to the nomination. The republican campaign didn't count on Kerrys' ability as a speaker during the first Bush/Kerry debate (where Kerry made Bush look like the Bush we all know today) but it wasn't enough and here we are today licking our wounds and waiting for Castro to drop dead and Bush to leave office. All my opinion of course.

Worth repeating!

I still maintain that George W Bush is dangerous because he doesn't know what he's doing, Condoleeza Rice is dangerous because she does!!

I agree with most of that, time to move towards a woman president or a black president perhaps, but don't you think that his religion may go against him??

yes, especially with all the fear and hate our current administration has created. It shouldn't but it will. So many people don't even think for themselves or use critical thinking to understand that we are all unique individuals with our own experiences and honesty and integrity are harder to hide than destructive behavior with poor judgement but people believe what they have been conditioned. What quietsent said.... Higher consciousness, that is exactly what we need.

my guess is that Mitt Romney...will more than likely win...he'll carry the south...he'll also carry the New England states...and...the mountain states...which will guarantee a landslide...a ticket of Romney / Thompson...will destroy anything the DemocRATS...run...

okay, I will let you believe in Romney, and I will not try to change you cos I know I can't, I know you are very conservative and were taught that way by your father and that is the way you see the world. But like I said America has seen the lies, manipulation and poor judgement of the Republicans and they have been affected by it and they want change. I don't think Romney has a chance. I think Edwards is running again....run baby run.

I knew from the first day I met you here that you are a smart man. Hillary is a very intelligent woman. I like her too. She is just smart. I will listen to all of them. I like Obama but I will stay openminded and decide after I have heard more of what they have to say.

And all you people who think america should police the world . All You warmonger supporters have been conditioned to think war is a natural part of life. It is not. . Every year the social security trust fund is being raided by the milatary industrail complex . Any candidate who continues the war mindset will give you exactly that . So youve all been warned. Youve all had your jobs outsourced. The housing bubble is about to burst. War is big money and it will continue at your exspense as long as you support the war machine in both parties. Think hard. Vote for RON Paul our tighten your bugets and be ready to lose even more constitutional rights and keep the illegal IRS on your butt.
Its almost too late for the USA. Think hard before you believe the lies of both parties. Watch Ron tonight on the comedy network and listen to him tomorrow.He will change your conditioned mindspeace

"Might I say that no-one is gonna take your guns away. Please don't be so nieve to think that will ever happen. Do you really think there gonna come around and take your guns from you"

Looking back, I see nothing in my posts about them taking guns away. No idea where you go that from

I'll go with John McCain before Obama or Clinton.

Considering 9/11 and the Islamic cells they are breaking up here in the US, I don't think Obama will make it to the Oval Office. Just my opinion

I like some of Ron Paul's positions on issues. He did run as the Libertarian candidate in 1988.

He is too libertarian to be taken serious by most of America. And really, Ron Paul has no interest in keeping jobs in the USA. As you know, libertarian thought proscribes free markets without restriction. It is a race to the bottom with the money Libertarians. Jobs will leave even faster if we took an approach like Ron Paul's.

His stances on civil rights and the war are spot on, however.

And his takedown of Rudy at the last debate was awesome. Guilani just looked like a fearmonger.

Obama's religion is Christian. He attends Trinity United Church of Christ. How will that go against him?
