Anyone want to talk politics? Hopefully it won't get deleted.
I support Obama. We desperately need a change. But if Hillary wins the primaries, then yes, I'll vote for her. Anyone but McCain. McCain should not even be allowed to run, he's just another Bush. And why hasn't Bush been impeached yet?

[allaboutmary]

Obama ! Obama ! Obama !  and dito to everything else.

[wait2long]

i triple ditto...i am a tad upset that he hasnt been impeached yet...clinton can get impeached over a b l o w  j o b???   give me a break!!!  bush breaks every law, with no accountability to anyone...not even us the people...HEY!!!  isnt he supposed to be working FOR us???  or is this a dictatorship!....WTF!?

[allaboutmary]

Thats exactley how it feels, a dictatorship. He could care less about the people in this country. He only cares about his rich oil buddies.  I think things have gone exactley as Bush & Cheney planned.  The rich have gotten richer and the poor have gotten poorer. The state of the country is shameful.  McCain just realized we are having a problem with the economy !  Where the hell has he been.  

WAKE UP AMERICA !   WE MUST TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK !
OBAMA OBAMA OBAMA OBAMA

The following is President (not my President) Bush's Resume.  If McCain is elected, we will have the longest consecutive run of the worst Presidents in history.

GEORGE W. BUSH

1600 Pennsylvania Avenue

Washington , DC 20520

EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE:

Law Enforcement:

I was arrested in Kennebunkport , Maine , in 1976 for driving under the influence of alcohol I pled guilty, paid a fine, and had my driver's license suspended for 30 days. My Texas driving record has been 'lost' and is not available.

Military:

I joined the Texas Air National Guard and went AWOL. I refused to take a drug test or answer any questions about my drug use. By joining the Texas Air National Guard, I was able to avoid combat duty in Vietnam

College:

I graduated from Yale University with a low C average. I was a cheerleader..

PAST WORK EXPERIENCE:

I ran for U.S. Congress and lost.   I began my career in the oil business in Midland , Texas in 1975. I bought an oil company, but couldn't find any oil in Texas . The company went bankrupt shortly after I sold all my stock.

I bought the Texas Rangers baseball team in a sweetheart deal that took land using taxpayer money.
With the help of my father and our friends in the oil industry (including Enron CEO Ken Lay), I was elected governor of Texas

ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS GOVERNOR OF TEXAS:

I changed Texas pollution laws to favor power and oil companies, making Texas the most polluted state in the Union . During my tenure, Houston replaced Los Angeles as the most smog-ridden city in America

I cut taxes and bankrupted the Texas treasury to the tune of billions in borrowed money.

I set the record for the most executions by any governor in American history.

With the help of my brother, the governor of Florida , and my father's appointments to the Supreme Court, I became President of the United States , after losing by over 500,000 votes.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS PRESIDENT:

I am the first President in U.S. history to enter office with a criminal record.

I set the all-time record for most foreclosures in a 12-month period.

I set the all-time record for the biggest drop in the history of the US. stock market. In my first year in office, over 2 million Americans lost their jobs and that trend continues.

I'm proud that the members of my cabinet are the richest of any administration in U.S. history. My 'poorest millionaire,' Condoleezza Rice, has a Chevron oil tanker named after her.

I set the record for most campaign fund-raising trips by a U.S. President.

I am the all- time U.S. and world record -holder for receiving the most corporate campaign donations.

My political party used Enron private jets and corporate attorneys to assure my success with the U.S. Supreme Court during my election decision.

I have protected my friends at Enron and Halliburton against investigation or prosecution. More time and money was spent investigating the Monica Lewinsky affair than has been spent investigating one of the biggest corporate rip-offs in history.

I set the all-time record for most days on vacation in any one-year period. After taking off the entire month of August, I presided over the worst security failure in U.S. history.

I garnered the most sympathy ever for the U.S. after the World Trade Center attacks and less than a year later made the U.S. the most hated country in the world, the largest failure of diplomacy in world history.

I have set the all-time record for most people worldwide to simultaneously protest me in public venues (15 million people), shattering the record for protests against any person in the history of mankind.

I am the first President in U.S. history to order an unprovoked, pre-emptive attack and the military occupation of a sovereign nation.I did so against the will of the United Nations, the majority of U.S. Citizens and the world community.

[wait2long]

really puts things into prospective doesnt it...i am pissed off all over again after reading this...i just dont get it...and TWICE!?

[avisg]

LOL on the spacing the BJ......

[avisg]

I really dislike like all three of them ,it puts me in some what of a pickle

[VicUser]

I agree on the three, I want a do over!!!!!!!!!

[wait2long]

are you serious?  do you actually think anyone can be worse than this...lol.

[VicUser]

nope, I think these three are the bottom of the barrel

[Marce4]

I couldn't agree more on EVERYTHING you and Mary have said!!!!!!  I am so worried for my children if we have 4 more years of a Bush mentality in the White House and that's what we will get with McCain!!!! Say a prayer for change!

[Mikeinthesouth]

From one who spent 6.5 years in the middle east. Lets keep it republican....

[VicUser]

Mike thank you for your service to our country. I really don't want to see us cut and run either.

[wait2long]

i ciuldnt agree more...i am so worried about my childrens future...looks like college will be out of the question for them unless they get a sholarship, which is a possibility...but if we dont get things straight now, we are all headed for worse...my original choice dropped out but obama will do me fine, if he doesnt make it, then hillary will also..i know they will at least do something for the ever shrinking and disappearing middle class that is slowly sinking into poverty. we need help.
i am sick of barely scraping by as i have been for 6 years now...

bottom of the barrell?,  give me a break...we have been living at the bottom of the barrel for 7+ years now...no one could do worse than what we have had.
hes got a mighty fine looking resume, huh?  its downright embarrassing...

[flmagi]

It is an embarrassment to our country, and that we've allowed this idiot to serve 2 terms and not be impeached, its ludicris. I really can't beleive after 8 years of Bush, that anyone would vote republican is beyond me. People need to wise up, eduacate themselves and vote for who will help the people of THIS country. A republican only helps the rich. What does it take to make people smarten up and look at the facts?

[mimi1313]

I would vote for Hillary. I think we need a woman and she is a strong woman. I'm Republican and I won't vote for McCain.

[VicUser]

wait2long

As far as going to college, I paid for my own way, not my folks, my oldest son and his wife both paid for college themselves via ROTC and are both officers in the military. My youngest son has paid his own way by working 20-30 hours a week and going to college full time. So the BS of not being able to go cause of money is just that BS if they want it they can work for it.

Magi

I really like you and hope that this dialog doesn't make you dislike me. I am not happy with any of the politicians that flip flop on what they believe depending on the political wind. While I don't agree with everything President Bush has done at least he has backbone, be it right or wrong. I think that when the congress was Rep majority they did a bad job and I think that under Dem control they are doing just as bad.

[VicUser]

I don't know what to do, I may not vote for the first time. I am not sure we want more of the same either. Lets face it 4 Bush 8 Clinton 8 Bush it may be time for a total change, but I just can't get behind any of them.

I do know that I would vote for a good canidate Man, Woman, Black or White, I just don't see one here.

[mimi1313]

I know, that's why my mom always votes for Ron Paul. He has no chance but at least she votes for someone she believes in.

[122 Tactical Fighter Group]

Where is Thomas Jefferson when you need him?

[VicUser]

My fav was Harry Truman, not that I am that old....lol.

[GoingToMakeIt]

Ron Paul may well have been the best choice overall. As for the other 3...God help us all. Obamam has the most Liberal record of any president candidate ever. Hillary...well do we want another 4 years of Bill anywhere near the oval office and McCain, will he live through it if elected? I have always been Republican. When asked why, I say because they sell out our country slower than Democrats. ALL of the presidents since Truman (I believe) have been Rhodes scholars. Does this tell us something? There is a bigger agenda then the US. They are all working towards globalization. Don't be surprised when 1 day our country is a part of a world system and no longer the USA.

[Avalancheblanche]

Nicely put Dave.  From another Rebpublican....Having a very hard time with this election.

I say vote Pee Wee Herman.

[VicUser]

Snoopy is my man, or for that fact Lucy would be good
