sunoco gave clinton 2 million, wonder why gas prices are so high? that 2 million had to come from somewhere
its a shame but there are a lot of stupid people that vote on stuff like this… Ever watch JAYWALKING? there are plenty of people that will realize about a week before the election and vote for people because of stupid reasons.
argree 100%
i don’t have a problem with hillary or a woman pres…but i do have a problem of us looking like some wierd monarchy…2 families have run the government for the past 20yrs.
mccain–worried about his long term health
edwards–ok, but worried about is personal issues–wifes health.
obama & richardson - i like both but not 100% sold on them yet.
huckabee - no thanks…i don’t want a former religious leader running the government…being religious is one thing…but being a minister is another
romney- NO THANKS
guliani - no thanks.
so far i like edwards, obama & richardson…with mccain a longshot 4th (if i was voting today), i don’t think richardson has any chance so that knocks him out…& like i said, i’m worried about ewards family situation & mccains health…so that leaves obama.
who ever we get…there needs to be MAJOR change so i like the idea of someone completely new.
it can’t get any worse.
we invaded & are currently occupying a country
healthcare sucks
the economy sucks
its getting worse & worse.
i think the the only dem team that could win would be edwards and richardson. it remains to be seen if edwards will get the nomination thou.
I dont have a problem with obama because he’s black in theory, i have a problem with obama because he;s black and who knows what favors he owe s to the 2 “reverands” the thought that either of those men could get more power makes me cringe. if sharpton and jackson died tmw, i;d feel comfortable with a black president. its a shame because sharpton really seems like a caring guy he’s just totally insane with his race cards 24/7. jackson on the other hand is a complete joke.
obama is mixed.
his father was african…from kenya
& his mother was white from kansas
OBAMA??? What’cha been smoking?
Instead of watching him on TV, or listening to him speak, let’s take a look at his voting record shall we?
