I’m a Republican. My taxes have been lowered, I can expect fewer public services, worse public schools, more potholes in roads and crumbling bridges. But that’s OK if my taxes go down. It’s my money. I know better than the government does in how to spend my money. I know how to build public hospitals, public schools, and how to regulate and assure clean water, uncontaminated food and safe drugs better than the government knows. Private corporations and I can do all of these things better. Please vote Republican, vote lower taxes for the rich. Thank you.

The single issue for me is Iraq. Hillary voted for it, she has never said “you know, I made a mistake and I’m sorry,” and she’s never said “I will withdraw all combat troops from Iraq.”

She has closer ties to Joe Lieberman and other Neocons of both parties and that wretched “Village” nonsense is utterly gagworthy.

But on Iraq alone, she is not qualified to be president. A real leader is willing to say, “I fucked up” and mean it. She is incapable of saying it, she is neck-deep in her own hubris and she is not worthy of the office she seeks.

Barack Obama would withdraw all combat troops from Iraq in 16 months. That’s my kinda withdrawal statement.

ANd the thing it seems NO ONE, neither here, or anywhere else is willing to admit, virtually ALL the economic woes we face stem, in part, from the unbelievable BORROWING to pay for the war.

Sorry, she is wrong on the one issue that matters this time around, and she has been since the beginning.

That’s my story and I’m stickin’ to it.

The Republican brand may seem “ruined,” but if Hillary insists on tearing our party apart, it will be “President McCain” we’ll be saying. She can’t accomplish what she wants to, all she can do is destroy and her “scorched earth” approach …

It’s time to put divisive isues on the back burner and it’s time to stop criticizing the opponent’s tactics. She may be scorching, but it’s time for Obama and his supporters to either take the heat or get out of the kitchen.

Fight on the issues and showing class & leadership or admit she’s just too tough. It isn’t necessarily tactics which are tearing the party apart — it’s finger pointing and name-calling and forgetting that this is a campaign to earn the public’s trust, not just 50.0001 percent.

The press is saying there’s hardly any difference between Obama and Clinton on the issues. Is that true? If it isnt, then prove it. State your case. Show how you are a distinctive candidate and are better fit to become president.

it would seem easter is linked eternally to passover, which means it does not revolve around the christian calender but the jewish

interesting factoid

“This is the earliest Easter has been in 95 years.”

It’s cuz of growing resurrection requirements. ;-)

my point is it’s not “supply and demand”, it’s simply “demand”, sometimes but not always, supply impedes demand but demand rules price not supply

they raise the demand but this has nothing to do with supply, the supply far outweighs demand

this is my very point ecahn
