This election has me wanting to move out of the country ... AGAIN! Thanks to Bush, I nearly did in 2000. I knew he'd screw up the entire country. He surpassed all my fears and has the world hating all Americans. And this country in deep debt! We now rely on foreign private equity groups to bail us out.

Now, we have a race for the White House based on a woman or a black man. And, Obama isn't really a black man, he is BI-RACIAL, people.

Although, I still feel that Hillary does have 8 years experience in the White House, because anyone who thinks that she sat silently in the residential quarters during Bill Clinton's term is grossly ill-informed and sadly mistaken.

Vote for who can get us out of this huge mess that Bush will leave us with. Someone who will restore our privacy and eliminate the Patriot Act and make flying a more pleasant experience. Bushy Jr. is as worse than Bushy Sr. and it took Bill Clinton most of his first term to undo the damage done by Bush Sr. Our next president will have a thankless job of correcting Bush Jr.'s damage.

And, in addition fund Social Security and Medicare/ Madicaid and the Ryan White and ADAP programs.

Take care of Americans first. Let the middle east kill themselves like they have been doing for generations and leave US out of it. Let's go solar and forget the oil!

We will get what we deserve only when people THINK before they vote. And, hope that the counting is done correctly this time.

Also, forget the delegates and super delegate, only the "popular vote" should matter.

Fear, ignorance, credulity, and cowardly herd instinct...is why our country is in the condition it's in. While politicians and their handlers rob us blind via phony wars and "Federal" Reserve counterfeiting, morons have high school popularity contests to determine which CFR socialist stooge will continue the destruction of our liberty and currency.

It's extremely embarrasing to see people make such fools of themselves. The few of us who actually study and have the courage to stand up and declare that the emperor has no clothes vigorously support Dr. Ron Paul and everything he stands for. Paul is the only candidate from a major party to be qualified for president, in this election or any in my lifetime of 53 years. He is the only member of Congress that understands, supports and defends the Constitution of the United States. The Constitution was designed to do only one thing; protect our liberty and money from government. Obviously a piece of paper cannot protect us from anything; it the ideas contained therein that must be upheld. Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John McCain have been selected by the Establishment for one reason: Each of them has demonstrated that they have no intention of following the Constitution and will do ANYTHING they can get away with to take away our liberty and money.

WAKE UP, FOOLS! There's no more excuse for ignorance with the internet at your fingertips. Start with lewrockwell.com and go from there.

SRY MY COMMENT GOT CUT OFF HERES THE END OF IT FROM ZOEY. SRY FOR THE DOUBLE OF THE FIRST PART!Just choose wisely the guy who lies and has no experince, or the WOMAN who has experince, and probably could handle anything when shes president because have you seen how bad the media has been treating her. o and all of you out there who think obama is against the war get your facts straight becuase
1. he wasn't in the senate to vote against the war
2. he voted against the kerry bill which is a bill that would take the troups out of war
3. he also voted to fund the war
Now, if he really didn't support the war do you think all of that should of happened, or his health care plan wouldnt cover all americans.
OBAMA HAS NO EXPERINCE
P.S. and im sick of people acting like he's MLK cuz he's NOT playin YES WE CAN like the i have a dream speech and frankly i find it ofensive.
if you have any questions about hillary clinton and what she supports go to HillaryClinton.com o and please respond back!

um well actuallyis 33% because there r 24 black celebrities and 18 are for obama and 6 for hillary. and Id also like to say that Frank Rook is right becuase he may be able to talk the talk but he most certainly can not walk the walk. and go lupe fiasco because hes not jumping on a band wagon and he's black he's from chicago illinois and is still for hillary.and all you obama supporters who say if we don't vote for obama were racist well shut it because im biratial my dads black my brothers byratial and my moms white and were ALL FOR HILLARY CLINTON, so don't you dare try to call me racist because you are just making up excuses, and hillary supporters could very well say because your not supporting hillary your sexist. Well, its not true so we don't say it and we don't need to sink that low for a vote.

Man, who put the burr under these folks saddle today? They're all bitchy!!! LOL Well, I support Hillary because we don't have much to choose from now, do we? Barack is a nice enough man but I do not trust him either. As they say, pay back is a bitch and the blacks will get their revenge if barack is our president, guaranteed!!

I am always amazed that white folk think it is "pro-American to outsoure 33% of our jobs overseas to non-white, non-american foreigners. White folk think that it is "pro-American to completely eliminate 75% of all our manufacturing jobs. White folk think that it is "pro-American" to bomb, invade and then occupy a third world country for their oil resources. But, that it is anti-American to criticize these insane policies passionately in an open public forum. The Freedom to speak freely. Go figure.

Ha, so how does this matter? We take a bunch of people who have made tons of money because of the way the "system" works, and then they want to turn around and "change" the system. They really don't realize the reason they can afford those big mansions and hot cars is because of the way our economics are set up, so they of all people should not be intereseted in change. Which is completely goofy because the socalled change they all are talking about really could mean anything. I'm not a big talk radio fan, but I heard one guy say that Obama is what you want him to be. Because he avoids specifics and talks smooth, he has totally won a lot of people over. But really, the change is ambiguous, non-existant, and well marketed.
From a marketing standpoint, Obama is a knockout. This would be a billion dollar ordeal for Coke, and it really wouldn't work as well. Obama has hired/acquired the right people, and won the right celebs over, which is absolute genius, gotta give him credit for being a great ad man.
