Hilarry for PRESIDENT..!!!?? ( Archived) (86)

For all that i have been following , i like Obama .. as someone mentioned he is vert composed and charismatic.

I was wondering something and would be happy if someone would answer this for me .. What do u think would be the best move in todays times to stop the ongoing decline in the American economy and who of the candidates seems to fit the bill ?

What a balanced and sensible response OOby. If you want to run for President I will vote for you....and i don't care which party you are in. Otherwise i think I will root for Hillary.

What's wrong with diplomacy? Isn't that better than flatly refusing to talk to your enemy? We talked to Moscow during the cold war and probably avoided WW3 in the process. Is it better to go in with guns blazing like some freakin western movie? It isn't a sign of weakness to discuss things with foreign hostile governments. But to refuse to even talk is something a spoiled child would do.

As I said in the first lines of the post...I was not a 100% certain. I got the 'feeling' that the NSA wire foreign tapping program would be a target. From Hillary's and others Demo disecting of it during the committe investigations. I listened to their questioning of it pretty closely. I was seeking other CS opinions and facts.

DoD Budget. Where is the draw down point? What I am saying is that with both Russia and China arming. How much can we afford safely to cut? And where? Not even Republicans canididates are gives us any real hard facts here. Is DoD budget inflated and excessive, no doubt. But how far does one reduces and still maintain national security? Hillary's social progams are going to be big ticket items......mean big dollar cuts in other places.

I am not against diplomancy with gov't on ligitmate issues between those two countries. Terrorism is something that hides behinds the border of a country. Good point is AlQueada in Afghanistan. Take the recent action of a US Navy destroyer when it engaged a terrorist compound in Solomia. Would Hillary give the shoot order without contacting the Solomia gov't prior? I get the feeling that she would first negotiate with Solomian gov't and by the time the Solomian permission is given......the bad guys have been warned and dispersed.

Same thing for UAV attacks in Pakistan and elsewhere. If we are going to go to negotiate first before shoot policy, we will lose a lot of viable
terrorist targets. As the countries that shield them, warn them. And this conflict will go longer. Bush made the decision to be preemptive, the Russians have just said the same thing, as have other countries. I just was asking where she stood on preemptive strikes on terrorism.

As for talking with enemies.....are they enemies nation states or terrorist? Are they ligitmate gov't or a group of individuals that simply hate Americans/westerns that can melt into the civilian population?
One you can honorably negotiate with. The other will not honor any agreement made. JMO

Not 1005 sure, but I think the F-22s first squadrons are being fielded this year. It is a heck of a warplane. I have seen it at airshows a year ago. You might not see it either Iraq or Afghanistan though. It is a air superiority fighter. We own those air spaces already, without any hostile threat in its high altitude operating space. Maybe better to have them over Europe? or Tiawan?

For the life of me I can't undeerstand how someone can want a dem like Hillary and then say they could put up with Romney. They are completely different ends of the scale, they have nothing in common.


This doesn't make any sense even from the independent side.

So true. So true.

I probably watch about 50% of those broken government segments. So much of how you "define the problem will tell you how to find the solution." I do think that Obama's ultra-liberal voting record will go against him in the "heartland" of America. What you see on TV is basically from New York and Atlanta based and not truly representative of the larger culture. I do admire his integrity though. Apparently a lot of the truly socialist governments waste absolutely no money...something our government has no skill or desire to do. I would venture to guess that if the US government was truly thrifty, government spending could easily be reduced by 1/3.

I'm fascinated as to how it benefits oil companies? If we wanted to benefit oil companies, we'd be drilling off of the California coast, Florida coast and in ANWAR. That would benefit oil companies and Americans! Win/win is a good situation for everyone.
