I doubt that.
No one is happy with the dumbacrats inaction on everything since 11/06 (unless larry flynt style witch hunts count) .
Worse case is a four year stint of an equally ineffective dumbarsecrat potus be it white or black / female or male or a combo of the dyno duo. My only concern is that the country takes a huge hit (economic/terrorism/both) in those 4 years while the average dumarse is learning his lesson and paying the price for electing them ...

I posted this in another thread, but no one seemed to care..   It's worth watching the whole thing.
Bookmark it,  and when you have the time, watch it all.. The first 2 parts are only the tip of the iceburg.
Very good stuff showing you that both parties are BS, and it's pretty scary to what extreme they are.

I don't know if it's 100% accurate on every single point, i'm not a lawyer, but it should be enough to make you think a bit.
After watching the whole thing, i've decided to vote for ron paul.
Then of course after he doesn't win, i'll vote for whichever republican does.

I am pretty sure that the ultra liberal democrat broken record is not going to play any better than another bush running.

The democrats picked up some seats not by advocating bigger government and more taxes and gun control.. not even the war (which.. in reality...most Americans care little about) but...

They won by pretending to be gun toting conservatives... they won by being more like republicans than the current republicans.. those who ran by being more liberal... lost as a rule.

osamabama can't pretend to be anything but a commie... he can make a good speech and make some feel guilty for owning slaves 200 years ago but that is about it.   once his record comes out...

I wouldn't say that. He has higher poll numbers than the Democratic controlled Congress.

To bring a wagonload of money into Iowa once every four years?
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

You have to define "No one".

And It doesn't seem like many are considering the actions' of congress in this election-Hell, Obama's a Senator, and the fact that he's in a congress with a low approval rating hasn't come up. It seems' like right now, thing's are going almost solely on campaign promises-Such as withdrawal from Iraq, and other side issues. However, It is only the opening Caucus's, we should take another look halfway through.

George Will skewers Huck and Edwards:aok
Quote
Economist Stephen Rose, defining the middle class as households with annual incomes between $30,000 and $100,000, says a smaller percentage of Americans are in that category than in 1979 — because the percentage of Americans earning more than $100,000 has doubled, from 12 to 24, while the percentage earning less than $30,000 is unchanged. "So," Rose says, "the entire 'decline' of the middle class came from people moving up the income ladder." Even as housing values declined in 2007, the net worth of households increased.


Huckabee told heavily subsidized Iowa — Washington's ethanol enthusiasm has farm values and incomes soaring — that Americans striving to rise are "pushed down every time they try by their own government." Edwards, synthetic candidate of theatrical bitterness on behalf of America's crushed, groaning majority, says the rich have an "iron-fisted grip" on democracy and a "stranglehold" on the economy. Strangely, these fists have imposed a tax code that makes the top 1 percent of earners pay 39 percent of all income tax revenue, the top 5 percent pay 60 percent and the bottom 50 percent only 3 percent.

And that is why the Republicans hope he wins the demodork nomination.  :aok

I don't think Hillary is electible either.  I wonder, as in the last two elections, why do the demodorks have such a hard time finding and nominating someone who can win?

May another 10 ti 20 years, when whites are the minority...then Obama might have a chance.


Apparently the Secret Service feels the same way....

Secret Service presence has increased for Sen. Barack Obama since his dramatic win in Iowa, amid fears over the safety of the man seeking to become America's first black president.


"For many black supporters, there is a lot of anxiety that he will be killed, and it is on people's minds," said Melissa Harris-Lacewell, a Princeton University professor of political science and contemporary black culture.

Let's hope that doesn't happen as if it were to occur, Billary is in hands down on the sympathy vote after the killing is spun like a top.
Because of that, she would be on top of the list if any funny business does pop up..
