If Rush Limbaugh doesn''t like you, then you must be doing something right!!!

McCain needs to realize he is running for the presidency of the U.S.A. (not MEXICO). Illegals have their own government and their own country. And the trickle down theory only works if the money trickles down to (U.S. citizens) not Mexicans or Chinese or any other third world countries.

I am always proud of my country, but not always proud of what our leaders do. Part of what makes me proud of my country is the right I have to express my displeasure and disagreement when events warrant it. Iraq has been like a high-school ant farm project for Bush. We don''t need to micromanage the Iraqis and set up a U.S. style government for them. They have no tradition or understanding of it. We don''t need a colony in the Middle East or anywhere else. If the majority of Iraqis want an Ayetollah, let ''em have an Ayetollah. It''s THEIR country.

Huckabee is no Jimmy Carter...

One of the reasons I voted for Mike Huckabee is when he was governor of Arkansas for 10 = years he cut taxes 94 times, reduced welfare by half, reformed health care for children and the education system, and transformed the transportation infrastructure. Also, Huckabee did this with a Democrat legislature in power.

If we had been smart enough to continue exploring alternate energy sources through the 1980''s, when the Grade ''B'' Cowboy Actor was President, we wouldn''t be so addicted to Middle East oil and wouldn''t have to spill young Americans'' blood in Iraq for no conceivable reason other than access to that cursed black substance.

Thus far, the two most asinine statements by candidates for the president of the U.S., both by Republicans:

Huckabee: "I believe in miracle, not math."
Uh oh! (A telephone red line to god).

McCain: "I don''t think Americans care if we are in Iraq for 10 years, 100 years, or 10,000 years."
Hmmm, let''''s see, that is equivalent to 48,913,412 young American deaths and 17 trillion dollars, (okay, I made up those figures).

McCain also wants to give amnesty to the 12 million illegal aliens in America. DUH!

Do you want people who think like that in the White House?
Wow! I don''t. Scary.

Another minus will be if McCain selects, or the Republican big wigs force Bushes ineffectual shill, Condoleeza Rice as McCain''''s vice presidential running mate.
This woman, Rice, should never have left academia and it would be wise if she returned to that profession post haste. It would be another nail in the Republican coffin to have this Bush puppet as McCain''''s running mate.

May I suggest two possibilities that would be far better than Condoleeza Rice as a McCain VP and perhaps give him an edge.

Britney Spears or Paris Hilton. Either would add some class to his campaign

When we first opened the borders, laws were in place to prohibit illegal immigration. Why should republicans be scolded for wanting the EXISTING laws to be enforced? Why should democrats and immigrants think that it was no big deal in the first place to ignore these laws?

[hypnotoad72]

Forget illegal aliens who can''t keep their own country right, come here, and replace our flag with theirs.

We are all Americans. Why bother with labels and other points that merely fragment the population? I''ll support the chosen leader, but is that all people can do - play out to special interests?

Why waste the time. Just record what the Fascist said in the last 6 elections and play it back over and over again. With the exception of their War in Iraq that is, which they have NO idea how to pay for even if it ended tomorrow. Let''s face it! You name a Problem we have today and we had that same problem 6 elections ago.. they''ve never done anything about them:
Health Care same lame way of addressing it... the number of uninsured continues to increase as does the cost per person.

Social Security.. they say they will fix just do not tell us how until after the election.

All the lost jobs and the failure of Trickle Down... they''re going to train is to do the jobs that do NOT exist, or never have.
