Candidates for President (mostly Ron Paul)

If there's one thing that could fuck up our country more than another neocon President it's a libertarian President. You can't get rid of the government's problems by getting rid of the government.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I think Gore would kick the crap out of any one who's currently announced candidacy. I'm still holding out to see if he throws his hat in. If not, Hillary's milded but no one will vote for her, Obama's got great ideas but no experience, Giulani's more authoritarian than anyone in the current administration, McCain has imploded alreayd, and Edwards is looking more and more like the best option to me.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I fully agree on the McCain issue. As much as he may portray himself as a Moderate, a look at his voting record shows that he's in fact farther nuts than Bush himself.

On Hillary: Personally, I think that if one looks at the last decade or so she hasn't been too horrible, but just about everyone outside of New York hates her. Why she stays near the top of the Democratic candidate polls I cannot explain since most Democrats are leery and most independents can't stand her.

On Obama: His 2004 Convention Speech was nothing short of awe-inspiring, and he's certainly proved that he's able to talk great ideas, but as this is his first term in any sort of federal position, he doesn't have any established experience.

On Giuliani: He recently stated that he supports the right of the President to detain citizens indefinitely without charges (although he would want to use this only in "limited situations"). This is a deal-breaker for me.

Edwards: Nothing too fantastic, nothing too horrible. For now, I'll grudgingly take it.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Edwards has served a 6-year Senate Campaign and has experience in a Presidential Campaign. Obama has 3 years of experience (will be 4 by the time the Election comes around).

Also, like it or not, Obama is black. Much as people may like to deny it, there is a statistically significant portion of the population that will not vote for him because of that fact.

Also, where did I say I thought Edwards was amazing? I merely think he doesn't suck as much as everyone else.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Democrats can't get electoral votes in states where that is a significant fact.

Like Michigan, home of the KKK headquarters and the most segregated state in the country? Racism isn't limited to the South.

Nobody starts a war to end a recession.

Worked pretty well for FDR. Turned modest rates of New Deal success into widespread prosperity. It could also be argued that WWI helped prop up the economy leading into the Boom of the 1920s.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
