    Well, John Edwards has dropped out on the Democratic side. He would have been the only one I would have voted for.

    Giuliani is out on the Republican side. Mitt Romney and John McCain not too bad considering what the Demos have to offer. Just my thoughts. I think we may end up with another cluster**** of a leadership. God help us.

    I think you are right we need some devine intervention here. We the people are to blame.

    Everbody whizzes and moans about McCain but he is the best bet against any Dem 'cause he is more palatable among those who don't identify with the far right or left. A group which will be the most important in this election.

    Well, for added fun, there's talk of Ralph Nader jumping into the fray. He doesn't have a chance in Hell, but I've always enjoyed listening to him. He never minces his words. I like the way Ron Paul talks to. I feel everyone else says what they think people want to hear. I don't necessarily agree with all of Nader's or Paul's politics, but they do passionately believe what they say, and they say it without hesistation.

    I for one think and hope that the Demos will be too busy duking it out that the Repulicans will keep the White House. McCain and Romney are both better than what the Dems have to offer...............my two cents

    Dont loose hope.

    Why do you think McCain is more palatable to the Dems? (Besides that fact that he is one except for on Terror)

    What angers me about McCain is the dog and pony show he did last year to Iraq so he could declare Iraq was a safe place to be in. He had hundreds of soldiers in the area to protect him as well as helicopters overhead and put all of them at risk just to get some headlines back home. He later said he was sorry for it but he should have known better to begin with ! For me that rates up there with Jane Fonda going to North Viet Nam. The news media seem to have forgotton as well as most of the American public.

    Stupid Americans get what they deserve ! :mad:

    My beefs about McCain is that he refuses to do anything about the border situation, he's NOT much of a supporter for the average Citizens rights to bear arms (2nd Amendment) --that alone is a good enough reason why i'll not support McCain.

    God help us.

    Ain't that the truth. Glad I'm a Texan! I just wonder what it is going to take for the people to make demands on those who they vote for. I'm sure I'm on the Secret Service's list due to my correspondence to the Oval Office. It's my right and I'm taking it.

    Im probably in the same boat as you are with the Secret Service. What they probably have on me is that I publicly admit to disliking billery and all dems as well as not liking obama because of lack of experiance. Also, I don't want another doper in the White House.

    Just my two cents. I believe that none of the canadates are any good. thank god Guiliani droped out as he wanted our guns. IMHO McCain is the best option at unifying the public, and possibly saving the war on terror from the downward spiral Bush has put it in. Whoever gets elected I have just one demand. GET OSAMA!

    Thanks Ike, and I did not realize at how much he is missed by so many. And also Amen to the salute to him. :salute:

    MikeB, I just hope it will be a ""Republican"' that will do the getting.
