jack3213, spoken like someone who has had opportunities handed to him and doesn''t know the first thing about actually working hard. Perhaps you think you work hard, but if you''ve never worked in a factory for $5/hr or construction for $10/hr, then you don''t know the meaning of it. I worked in a factory one summer while I was going to college. It inspired me to finish college. Not everyone can afford to go to college though. I guess that means they want the government to take care of them. Sure, there are people out there looking for a handout, but there aren''t as many of them as you would like to think. There is actually a such thing as the "working poor".

The next President is not just to focus on the lower or middle class--who ned help of some nature- the President also has a responsiblity to all people.. of all status -seems alot of people forget that- Many who struggle have struggled because they do not want to work hard and do not want to do for themselves- they want the ''government'' to take care of them- like children- that is what is weighing us all down

SAY NO TO AN ILLEGAL CLINTON 3rd TERM!!

Sen. Clinton claims she is ready to be President on Day 1. How is this possible? Because during her husbands 2 terms as President Hillary claims she played a major role, the U.S. got 2 for the price of 1, a Co-Presidency if you will. The Clintons can''t have it both ways, if Hillary is claiming Presidential experience over her rival Sen. Obama then a third Clinton term is illegal as noted below!!

U.S. Constitution - Amendment 22

Amendment 22 - Presidential Term Limits

1. No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once.

Avoid abuse of too much power and corruption by one family!

Bush/Clinton/Bush/Clinton?? 20 years in a row! America needs a break from BUSH/CLINTON! No more BUSH/CLINTON.

One of the main objectives of the 2 term limit on being U.S. President was to avoid the very thing we are witnessing now with Sen. Clinton, a powerful politician throwing their weight around trying to call in favors from previous Presidential appointments as Gov. Richardson pointed out and not knowing when to QUIT! The 2 term limit forces the issue, makes them QUIT!

SAY NO TO AN ILLEGAL CLINTON 3rd TERM!!

For those who think Obama can lead us out of anything- with no experiance- are ''''wishful thinking'''' that is something ''children do'' not rational minded ''''adults'''' and individuals that base their decisions on logic. "Change" can also be very bad at the wrong time with the wrong person.

Prevalent Barackmetric pressure is rising in all constituencies.

An Extreme Political Storm Warning remains in effect throughout the United States until November 4 2008.

An Extreme Political Storm Warning means that conditions are favorable for intense hope and change.

If you campaign or vote in an area that is prone to political stagnation be prepared to move with the times and vote for an out of the ordinary candidate especially during this national election.

This type of storm is not common and can cause inconveniences for some voters.

Heavy debate with strong views will add to the stormy political conditions.

Voters with moderate views may experience some anguish.

The worst of the storm will be experienced in the Denver Colorado area in late August.

Nationally active supporters and voters in the warned areas should be alert for rising temperaments and take appropriate action to protect pride and dignity.

Move your political position to higher ground at times of high sentiment.

Obama, will have to understand -every day- that he will face even more scrutiny:

OHHH BOY!

MICHELLE, " AINT GONNA LIKE THIS."

THEY ARE RAISING THE BAR AGAIN.

AMERICA IS SO MEAN.

GOD "BLESS" AMERICA. NOT "G D" AMERICA.

The geniuses who think Barak Hussein Obama can beat John McCain will get a rude awakening when Obama loses at least 45 states as well as the US Senate and possibly the House of Representatives for the Dems. The tendency of the Democratic Party to commit political suicide every few years never fails to amaze. Stephenson in %u201852 and %u201856. McGovern in 1972. Kennedy%u2019s challenge of the then sitting President Carter sure didn%u2019''t help Carter against Reagan in 1980. Remember Dukakis in 1988? This year the Dems were bound and determined to nominate either Barak Hussein Obama or Hillary Clinton - two people who haven%u2019t got an icicle%u2019s chance in Hell of being elected president. Periodically, the far left wing of the Democratic Party gets control of the party and it gets thrashed in the national election. 2008 will be another one of those.

I think the news media and the people need to real;ize that under scrutiny John McCain will look like a duplicate of George Bush. What does he plan to do differently than bush has done ? On the other hand obama has suffered a lot of damage by wright, his church, associates and his comments looking down on the working class people, not to mention what his racist wife has caused.

I also come from a long line of Democrats but I have to face the fact that the Democratic Party isn''t what it used to be.

Two things have become evident to me even though they

don''t make any sense at all.

The first one is that the Democratic Party Leadership

knows damm well that if Obama where to actually make

it past the Republicans and get in the White House,

the results will be disastrous.

The second one is that the Democratic leadership

is throwing this election.

I know it''s hard to believe. I know it doesn''t make

any sense. But it''s happening everyday right in front

of us, and I can''t go on telling myself that it isn''t.
