arlo, you really need to research obama and his voting record. He is supported by anti gun groups and he favors strong gun control laws. Yes he wants to take the guns away from law abiding citizens.

Quit freaking out!! No one is going to take away your guns. Geesh, out of all the things going on in this world all you're worried about is your guns.

That once wonderful picture is now horribly tainted for life. Awful, just awful! It's pathetic that so many folks will vote for that ***** just because she's a woman

Or Obama just because he is black?

But I have to admit that I would vote for Condi or Powell though because they are black AND capable.

ditto on everything you just said. I actually like Obama far more than I like Hillary...

I'd vote for Condi or Powell in a heartbeat over any of the other candidates (from all parties).

I agree

obama is about as black as any of us here
to think he can relate to the average black guy is as ridiculous as thinking ted kennedy can relate to the average white guy

just wonder who silenced the "Uncle Tom" cat calls ... you know if Powell was running, it would be different

Ted Kennedy story:

During his 1st political campaign, he was shaking hands with longshoremen.

One of them asked "Is it true you haven't worked a day in your life?"

Kennedy answered, "Yes."

Longshoreman replied, "You haven't missed much."

Regarding the Obama, Rice, Powell thing. Of you who do, why prefer you Rice or Powell more?

I wouldn't know how to begin to assess the three of them apart from the jobs they have done and what they have said. I can see Powell's accomplishments dwarfing the other two. Rice's accomplishments I'm less aware of.

They've done much to be admired: military service, cabinet service, and service in the senate. That said, I know ahead of time than some if not several or many will find those accomplishment unimpressive. Such as, "Senator! Phooey. They're all crooks!!" "Cabinet service! Big deal!! They have to be tools and crooks to get that far!!" Powell, I imagine would garner the most support. You don't see folks disparaging military service in the same way we see political service mocked.

Hap.. I will pick a conservative or individualist of any color or gender over a socialist of any gender anytime.

Thatcher is a good example... if I were in england I would have rejoyced at being able to vote for her.

osamabama and billiary have all the worst traits of women and negros.. they are total socialists.

there color or gender is just.. what's the word? stereotypical. they are stereotypes... not real people at all..

I agree that stereotypes begin with a grain of truth. Maybe a shovel full. Then its a case by case evaluation. "Individualism" is a slippery adjective.

I don't know much about Thatcher. What about her do you admire?

She also happens to be the most intelligent candidate running, and possibly the best politician in the bunch. This will prove to be invaluable in repairing our damaged reputation in the World community.

Covered this already. No Nazis in power here .... as of yet. Have "they" come to take you car away? How many guns of yours have been confiscated to date? Not seein' the threat remotely close ... but keep a vigilant eye. You can be the canary for the rest of us.
