I think I will run for the Presidency. I want to blackmail you by promising to cut taxes, but later I will give the tax cut to the top 1%. I will increase the National Debt by over 57% and increase privatization of the government over 23%. I will also award no-bid and over-inflated contracts to my criminal cronies. I will use the War on Terror as a smokescreen to pull off the largest robbery in history of present and future taxpayer dollars. Do not worry Grandpa and Ma you will not have to pay for this but your children and grandchildren sure will for 30-40 years. I will also reduce our good standing in the world immensely. I will reduce the value of the dollar from 25-40% and the price at the pumps will skyrocket. That tax cut for the wealthy will be great--they will convert their dollars into Euro''s rather than invest in the USA. I will initiate a buyer beware program which will be beneficial to companies/countries that make shoddy or dangerous products. Polluters can do what they want, mine owners do not have to obey safety rules, and I may have all traffic signs removed so you can drive as fast and reckless as you want. Every family can have machine guns, mortars and 500 lb. bombs. Hallejulah! Praise the Lord and be sure you vote for me twice!

We the people don''t have much of a choice anymore.
Whichever candidates are best at selling themselves to big money and corporate interests will get the most media attention. That''s why we hear so much about Giuliani, Clinton, Obama, and Romney.

How lovely it would be if there were streaming fact checking while the candidates were talking. It''d be ringing off the hook for everyone except Dr. Paul

Do we need another liar and pretender holding the office of president of the USA? NO!!! Giuliani = Sleaziani. If the GOP chooses Sleaziani as the nominee, it just proves to me that the GOP had long abandoned principles of integrity and honesty. No party holds the moral advantage anymore. The GOP seems to have gotten stuck with so many cheaters, liars, and perverts even at the leadership levels. Guiliani is a pretender and a liar just like George W Bush. God help our country!!!

Mistakes sometimes is understandable but, Giuliani''s mistakes have become a trend if the story is correct. Perhaps, Giuliani needs a better speech writer if it''s the writer''s fault that is.

How does Rudy Giuliani like the number "343"? That is the number of New York City firefighters who died in the World Trade Center on 9/11/2001. Their radios had been ineffective, the firefighters had been complaining about that for years, and a 1994 mayoral study had confirmed that the radios were faulty. On 9/11, those substandard radios were still in use but not working correctly when the Fire Department chiefs ordered the firefighters to evacuate the towers.

Another blogger misrepresented Huckabee''s statements when the blogger claimed that Huckabee handles snakes during church services.

In the recent debate, Huckabee said that, while he agrees in general with the Bible, he believes that some of the passages are allegorical, and are NOT to be taken literally!

In the Republican debates, most of the candidates try to posture themselves as the biggest, baddest world bullies. Huckabee, meanwhile, said that if you''re looking for a candidate that is mean and angry, then he is not your man. Unlike George W. Bush, Huckabee is truly a compassionate conservative.

Likeability is indeed one of the main reasons people vote for a particular candidate. But, don''t we deserve competence and honesty above all else? Bush seems like a very likeable guy but his administration is a disaster. Don''t we deserve better than this?
