HOW COULD THEY IGNORE ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION?

A FARCE!

Until all campaign promises are recorded and the politicians are held accountable for their lies, it doesn't make a bit of difference what they say. They will tell us what we want to hear to get elected, and then it's all over.

The best chance we have of remotely hearing anything truthful from any of the candidates is if there is an open mike close by and they don't know it.

Uh? You have changed to subject, and you don't even deny that you're a fascist. Still sore that you're ancestors lost the civil war, aren't you? If you hate the USA so much, why not secede? YOu Southern Neocons are not welcome in the USA, so deal with it!

There's somethng about you that wreaks of disease. It must be that you can't find the truth looking in the toilet. You keep coming up with fancy definitions and don't even know what they mean. Democracy, Facism, Southern. Haven't a clue have you?

Wasn't changing the subject. Chavez is doing a really good job of banning anybody who defies his government. Sounds like your proposal for America. So, connect the dots, duh?

WANT A DEMOCRACY in the USA? SUPPORT BARACK OBAMA! the only candidate who has said he would ban all corporate and foreign lobbyist's from the Halls of Congress. Until this is done, the USA will remain the Fascist Nation that it became under Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, HW Bush, the 1994-2006 GOP Congress, and the failed presidency of GW Bush and Neocons.

Does that mean now that Hugo Chavez is running a Democracy?

...Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Pat Leahy, D-Vt., called the decision "deeply disturbing" and said that "this President and Vice President seek to override the independence of law enforcement and manipulate our valued system of checks and balances. This is another demonstration of the lawless and unchecked path the President, the Vice President and their loyal aides have taken us down."

"Leaky" Leahy is probably pissing in his pants. Poor guy when he was on the intelligence committee, couldn't keep his mouth shut, just kept pissing all that information right out there to the public until they threw him off the committee. Now he wants transparency from the Executive Branch - especially when he was offered to talk to staff and was given endless papers trailing all the way to his behind. But the assertion of Executive Privilege which is within Bossman's domain and can be asserted since there are limits to the extent to which Congress can subpoena or demand testimony from those who were closest to the president. Leaky Leahy knows this but he's banking that you don't. Heh, heh, Leaky pissing Leahy and his "path they've been taken down."

On July 19, the Washington Post revealed that the Bush administration was unafraid of contempt citations. Should Congress certify a contempt citation to U.S. attorney Jeffrey Taylor's office, it would be Taylor's duty under federal law to bring the matter before a grand jury -- but the White House will direct him not to.

...Karen Tumulty, Time magazine's national political correspondent, said that with the Post article "the phrase [contempt of Congress] takes on new meaning ... There's no way to challenge the President's assertion of executive privilege, because, well, the President has asserted executive privilege."

How many of you *** liberals are in a altered state of mind at this moment?

Dang hippies!!!!

And by the way, Obama's stance on meeting with Foreign leaders is consistent with those of Henry Kissinger, Madeline Albright (a Hillary Clinton supporter), Colin Powell, Nancy Pelosi, numerous generals and editorial pages, like the NY Times, who have been calling for direct talks with Syria, Iran and N. Korea.

Debates are a joke. Its who can tell the best lie about something there never going to do. The idea of which of few liars we get to choose from in the election, is based on who has the most money is ludicris. Being wealthy has NOTHING to do with ability to lead, do the right things for your country. If 'we the people' have learned ANYTHING, its that having horridly wealthy businessmen running the country, has been our ruin. It has resulted in wars,outsourcing,illegal alien border jumping being OK,$criminals$ allowed to go free from justice and prison, and sending BILLIONS we need to take care of our own people to every other country. Because they have more money than they can spend, they dont give a rats a$$ about 'we the (broke) people', who work hard, to end up supporting the rest of the world with OUR tax dollars. I paid into social security my entire life, over 30 years, busted my back and neck at work, and am NOT considered 'elegible' but an illegal never paid in a DIME can collect on the spot. Do you see any problems here?

This is what is wrong with our politics. Not one candidate will take a decisive stand on anything, for fear of losing one lone voter somewhere. So far this campaign is all fluff and no stuff. Sad, and to think one of these might be our new president.

The problem is the TV 30 second sound bite and answer, how can you be decisive in 30 seconds when you have so many people on the stage. I for one hate the sound bite repeated time and time again like code but it appears to work, unfortunately. And look at that stupid CNN coverage afterwards that tells you why we have sound bites, and they even had to stretch in their negative commentary, Bush may have proposed AIDS funding for Africa but he did not fund 15 billion in his budget, and what about those goofy dial reactions represented like that was the publics result, what they failed to mention is that undecided are less than 30 percent of the party so if you were going to represent public reaction in general instead of a distortion, you would have some type of weighted representation but then you could not be as negative. CNN seems to be competing with Fox for their audience.

jh6379 - qualified? She only got to be senator of NY because of the name and because that state is as liberal as they come. Give me a break.
Posted by guyfrompa45 at 08:52 AM : Jul 24, 2007
Remarkably it was the large cities in NY that got her elected. My wife woked for a telemarketing firm calling and polling people in NY state as to who they wanted. The rural peoples did NOT want Hillary. However since most of the population of NY is in the large cities, she got it.

the USA's failed democracy was in full view of anybody paying attention for the first YouTube debate.

Shows she is a good planner guyfrompa45 8:52a.m. She got what she wanted and she did better on her plan than Bush did on his plan in Iraq.

Besides...I love the Clintons. I truly wish Bill could come back for another term or three. They are good people who care about America...not just themselves like fanatic Bush.
Posted by jh6379 at 08:41 AM : Jul 24, 2007

You are really going to drive the paid for righties whacko nutty, they are still suffering from PTSD from the Clinton years, all that prosperity for many, during that time Clinton did not provide them any a particular group to hate or fear and with much of the tax revenue being reinvested in our country instead of their pockets they of course became unbalanced foaming at the mouth. They also as poodles can not judge degree of criminality, and harm to our countries interest, *** versus invading a country on made up lies where tens of thousands of human beings have been killed to the righties it is all the same no value for life if that life is not a wedge issue..
