rainylakerouser,

Lou Dobbs, are you nuts?? Did you crash your snowmobile into an island rock?? But, I like your idea of Biden. I've been saying that for months. But, Professor Johnson, has the "low down" on why Biden, can't pick up steam. I know Biden is a professional plagiarizer, but must have some other "hidden" items in his closet, for him not to be the front runner. If anyone had the experience and ablitity, he is the one. And that is coming from a card carrying Republican. The Falls is like any other small town or minority town that depends alot on welfare. They will vote for whomever give them the most "food stamps" Plain and simple!!!!

1st Quit sippin the kool-aid.

I suggest everyone register as Independents.

2nd write in Lou Dobbs.

If you stay with someone that's running... Biden is the man... just doesn't have the money or face time to win. He's a big supporter of the little guy.

I didn't realize the Falls was such a "red city." Oh well, to each their own I guess...just particpating in the process is the most important thing.

Carefully look at the their border and immigration views/plans. I believe, that's one of the most important issues facing our nation, especially border towns like the Falls.

Not only that, #41 stood

Not only that, #41 stood behind the German reunification at a time when Ronald Reagan's evil female twin, Maggie Thatcher, wanted us to oppose it. And he understood that you do not go to war without an exit plan, even if it allowed a bad guy like Saddam to continue for another decade. His only mistake was to become like a bad actor and recite a cute Clint Eastwood line that got him in trouble. [Vomiting on the Asian leader was not cool, but it doesn't cost you many votes.]
The biggest thing to remember about presidents is that we do not elect their cabinet; they are appointed. And George Bush 41 picked a pretty capable group; Clinton did even better, so we had a nice economy in the 90's and made fewer mistakes in Kosovo than we did in Iraq. #43 picked a crazy man to be his secretary of defense and look how far our national stock has plummeted.

Doorsman,

Clinton was a very good and "smart" President, and when I "compartmentalize" my thoughts and opinions about him, I tend to think he was a good guy. I'm glad I got to meet the old "Commander In Heat" a couple weeks ago!! LOL!! I'm glad you brought up the subject of #41 not going into Iraq. Isn't it funny, that the "Left Wingers" raised h*ll about him being a wimp and not going all the way and finishing the job, and made sure he lost the election because of it. And then #43 goes in, and now he is being crucified because of it. Sure, it was stupid to go in, because, those people are a bunch of third world animals, who have been fighting for a thousand years, and will do it for another thousand. You will never get the "animal"out of them. They are not capable of being a civilized group of human beings!! End of story!

I agree, 41 should have been a good bet for 4 more years, Clinton was not all that bad if you can look past the oval office chit chat, but 41 was smart enough not to go into Iraq and he lost because of it. Don't bad mouth him for not doing something stupid.

TLJ,

Sometimes, my backhanded, stereotyping, is meant to elicit a response, when it is thought that the intended receiver of my comments is, a) thought to be "too good" to respond to my comments, or b) his previous comments were put out, with the intention of not wanting or not needing a response, because their view is the only one that matters, or may always be the "one and only" right response to a given topic !! But, I "DO LIKE" your reasons for voting for certain candidates. You talked about the "Good George" President?? I assume it was G.H.W.B. ?? So, your analogy of #41 was that he was a "good person", but a lousy wimp of a President?? Well, "read my lips", #41 was a good person, and a good President. He did two things wrong to not be elected to a 2nd term, a) raised taxes, and b) didn't kiss the royal A*Ses of the minorities (which cost him the werfare votes), and therefore lost the 92 election.

Wrongo as usual, 1950.

Thomas L. Johnson — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 07:01:28 -0600

Wrongo as usual, 1950. Never voted for the guy once. Actually voted Bob Dole once and the Good George the other time. They both seemed like guys who would blush when they told a lie. That`s my politics in a nutshell; I hate chronic liars and distrust former actors, who are paid to create fictions. That knocks out Fred and Mitt. When you stereotype people, not that you ever do, you almost always get it wrong.

Took the test, think I need lithium. Results were Fred, Hunter,and Giuliani. Think I'll go make some more egg sinkers and jigs for next summer. I'm going to explode for sure. Do these symptoms mean anything terrible is going to happen? Sure has me wondering. Going to vote for Obama now for sure.

TLJ, President Al Gore, you

roj2000 — Tue, 04 Dec 2007 13:36:02 -0600

TLJ,

President Al Gore, you like that don't you?? But guess what, us GOP'ers stole the election, "fair and square". So, get over it, and move on.org!!! No, you "almost" voted in Al Gore's, goofy views, but, again, WE STOLE IT FROM YOU, and we'll do it again! Don't taze me BRO!!!! LOL

Doorsman, Agree with you

roj2000 — Tue, 04 Dec 2007 13:25:06 -0600

Doorsman,

Agree with you 100%!!!! I met with Slick Willie a couple weeks ago, and he talked about Biden with me. He agreed with me that Biden looks and sounds Presidential, but had me promise not to tell Hillary that he said it. (Like I'm gonna see her soon). That is a true story, about me and Former President Clinton. He was in town, and I just happened to be in the area, and he walked up to me, shook my hand and started talking. Only had a couple of security detail folks with him. Big change from when he was President. I wonder if it bums him out??

Blackbay, You are right

roj2000 — Tue, 04 Dec 2007 13:20:58 -0600

Blackbay,

You are right about "slick Willie", but you will never get Professor "J" to admit that his "hero" demoncrat is a southern "Huckster"!! LOL! But the Clinton's got beat by Huckabee, not once, but TWICE! I shouldn't pick on the poor Professor, since I think he leaned a little right, once or twice in his voting! I'd rather have a President "Huckabee" than a President "Billary"!!!!

Blackbay, correct. And

Thomas L. Johnson — Tue, 04 Dec 2007 13:17:10 -0600

Blackbay, correct. And Clinton was a fairly good president when compared to the two I name but was impeached and rightly so for his ability to lie without blushing. To say your views are in line with Romney is not much of a claim; 98% of all Americans can say the same as this is a man whose views change depending on which electorate he is appealing to. But there never has been a time when we just elected views except, of course, when President Al Gore won in 2000.

Blackbay — Tue, 04 Dec 2007 12:45:33 -0600

Two sites http://glassbooth.org/ and http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/Vote2008/page?id=3623346 have candidate quizes. I took both and my views are inline with Huckabee, Romney, and Hunter. Scary huh? LOL

BTW TLJ don't forget Bill Clinton was also from a southern state. In fact the same one as Huckabee.

Huck or McCain, they have my vote right now. Biden too.
