The ..2012.... Political thread
-
This is where they say it starts -- although they have been filling balloons with all their hot air for a long time now -- here come the primary voting / caucus etc... Has anyone here ever voted in one of those?

Time to replace Mr. Bush with yet another jerk?? Oh great fun!!

Time for them to promise the moon and the stars -- what does it matter if they cannot deliver on such promises?

politics are so corrupt. Could you imagine Washington in this day?? He must be rolling over in his grave. They love to tell you what you want to hear and then when they get in office.....blip, all down the drain, and they do what they want. It is a big shame. I am very disappointed in our leaders. Um....does this really go in this thread.......

Dodd is out of the race, so he doesn't need a thread. I sure hope Hillary doesn't get the nomination.

I agree......I am not into anyone as of yet. Should be interesting.

We shoud'nt let anyone be president if they WANT to be president -you've got to be CRAZY if you want that job! You get blamed for everything, you're in charge of this enormous country...and you only get like $400,000 - thier campaigns cost millions upon millions. Anyway, this'll be my first vote ever cast, in the primarys! I turn 18 the day before the election! I hope to vote for the one with the best environmental policy...although looking at it now...none of them really do

Ya get paid 400,000 until you get out of office and get you pay off for influence peddling or write a book which pays you 50 times what it will ever sell for, which tells me someone fronting these book deals as a way to pay off favors. Ok there a Terrorist behind every Bush and one of the candidate believes in martian. But you had to love Hillary taking 3RD place. YES!!!!!! and Giuliani WHOA!!!!he took like.. last. I'm happy with the 3 tops pic's and actually like Huckabee, Obama and Edwards. I hope it will stay between the three "change" candidates,.

I'm not happy with the 3 top pic's or any of them......it's scary!

I feel the same - I had some interest in Fred Thompson, but he never got off the ground...
-
I would be very happy with Edwards or Obama-The times they are a-changing
-
The only thing I see changing is the face in the office and the promise of taxes going up
-
Well then open your eyes..

she was bawling all over herself in NH. I think she was trying to look softer. I think she in shock she lost so bad. Rep are shocked. They wanted Hillary to get the election so they could knock her off and take the seat again. If Obama gets it he will be the next president of the United States and corporate American be afraid be very afraid.

That's not the clip I saw. And as she won the primary, I stand by what I said. It's too early. Obama is a great speaker. Inspirational. However, you don't govern simply by speeches. Reps need to get their act together. At least it will all be interesting and done by february 5.

Edwards and Dodd have about as much chance of getting the nomination as I do, NONE!

Obama has charisma, something Clinton lacks.
