"What kind of peace do we seek? Not a PAX Americana enforced on the world by American weapons of war. Not the peace of the grave or the security of the slave. I am talking about genuine peace, the kind of peace that makes life on earth worth living, the kind that enables men and nations to grow and to hope and to build a better life for their children -- not merely peace for Americans but peace for all men and women -- not merely peace in our time but peace for all time."

John F. Kennedy (1963)

It''s hard to remember an intelligent person once occupied the White House. Someone that, while maybe not perfect, spoke of our Constitution and Rule of Law as if they mattered. When History looks back on these last 8 years, what will be written will be a Horrific Story of War Criminals, Mass Murderers, Torturers, and Subverters of the Constitution and Rule of Law, that held the Opinion of the Majority of Americans, as well as their Lives and Interests, in total Disregard and Disdain. What we wanted and Demanded from them was something they could not have cared less about.
The GOP should become the Pariah of American Governance, Perged COMPLETELY and TOTALLY from our culture. They deserve nothing less.

cfin5--Chuck Baldwin is a good choice...have they already had their convention? We had good news in the 4th congressional district of NC--Lawson won the primary...He is a Paulista. I''''m going to wait for the Libertarian convention and the Greens...

There are a lot of honest, decent candidates out there on the left and right of the traditional spectrum--its quite refreshing to hear them. This would be a great election if Clinton, Obama and McSwine--Rockefeller''''s three candidates--would just drop out.

Posted by Prinzowhales at 06:24 PM : May 07, 2008--------Yes. The Constitution Party has recently nominated Chuck Baldwin as their candidate. The best and fairest way to govern Americans of any faith, including atheists, is by doing what the Constitution and Bill of Rights says, not what some national party says it says. Isn''t the allegorical interpretations of the same why we are all at each others throats these days?.....I and many others just want to be Americans the way the Founding Fathers prescribed, not what a CFR member in the democratic or republican party "envisions" what we should be.

ttinsley--Bush has no legal ability to suspend the elections...if he does, it will be time to give him his just deserts...his ''Ceaucscu moment''...for he will have finally and irredeemably betrayed the Constitution and Republic.

Newt shouldn''t have to worry.

Knowing these neocons, they''ll come up with something in October.

Like a surprise guest appearance by Bin Laden.

If all elese fails, expect a replay of Ohio 04.

Karl Rove''s election motto:

If you can''t beat ''em, steal ''em!

The two dem candidates are demopublicans, and the rep in the lead is a republicrat. What''s the diff? I''m sticking with Ron Paul even though he''ll probably lose. He''s the best American I''ve ever seen run for office and it will be my privilege to do my part to help my country out. But if he removes his name from the ballot, I will vote for Chuck Baldwin of the "CONSTITUTION PARTY" (constitutionparty.com) as I am a constitutionalist. I will not vote for a CFR candidate so they can take away my rights which would make me an accomplice to my own demise,.....yours too! They''ll do it with out my vote this time. No more "lesser of three evils" this time.

Bring defeat on I say, current GOP policies belong in the past. The party needs some "creative destruction" and this therefore could be a good election to lose.
