    Chip I hope you are right, this guy is a fraud and for a minute I was wondering how this country could be so infatuated with him, but then I remembered; they elected slick willy not once but twice. We are headed for hell in a hand basket.

    :huh:

    By us, you mean Israel? I don't see how we can afford to spend money around the world taking care of issues tangential to our national defense when our own house is falling into disrepair.

    We've had 8 years of Republican bounty and are pretty much worse for wear. Our current state is due to the policy of the Bush's, Cheney's, Rove's, Limbaugh's, and Hannity's and things are worse than they've been in quite a while. And you can't understand those who don't want 4 more years of this?

    Limbaugh and Hannity dont make policies, they just lie about the current policies to fit their propaganda.

    Republicans rejected Paul because of some of his Libertarian views.

    I think this part speaks for itself.

    If wishes were fishes, we'd all cast lines. You still haven't shown any reason we should believe this. Projections cited by Tiger Dro above indicate otherwise.

    Have you watched the news at all lately? One of the candidates is in trouble, all right . . .

    What does Pelosi's "throne" have to do with anything?

    Had you read a few post higher you would have seen where I said I didn't want 4 more of it either. I also do not want any years of obama. Not now not ever. I'm not a McCain fan, he is farther to the left than I'd like him to be. Thats all I was sayin.

    Iran doesn't have the capacity to bomb us, probably never will, and doing so would be national suicide anyway. The Iranians may be zealous, but they are not idiots. It is important to understand that the rhetoric of third-world dictators is intended for internal consumption and that they don't have the capability to back it up.

    We've already seen what disaster comes from starting a war based on fears instead of facts. Republicans didn't learn a damn thing from it and deserve to be marginalized. Anybody can make a mistake, but refusing to recognize it is simply incompetent, and lining up to do it again is ineptitude of the highest order.

    Based on what? You've gone through seven years of the most incompetent, blundering fool of a president the United States has ever had and you think Clinton was bad?

    Clinton's economy was fantastic, he balanced his budgets, he paid down our national debt, he won the wars he fought (one without a single US casualty), reformed welfare, kept Saddam on a a leash for eight years with no fly zones, air and and missile strikes, destroying all his WMD's, tried to kill bin Ladin twice with cruise missile attacks, and got a hummer in his office from a 21-year-old (something I have not managed to pull off since I was 21).

    Remember, Sir William of Smooth was elected to two terms by republican women. Don't underestimate the charm of Obama . . . or the potential competence. We don't know a lot about him, he could be great or he could be disappointing. One thing is for sure. He can't be any worse than what we've got right now.

    I felt the same way about Kerry. But he was the "not-Bush" candidate.
