........................................................There might be an occasional exception. Ron Paul has talked about Walter Williams as a possible VP, and Williams is a smart guy, but on the whole, no, I wouldn't vote for a black.
................................................................You know what a putz is, smurphy?
You do, don't you!
Paul has thrown a serious scare into the people who actually run the country.
.............................................................agree with post #1; I don't think Obama can be elected. Down here in the 'dirty' South that the Sponge likes to denegrate so, he is considered half Muslim. That's not going to get it done. I'm voting for Hillary in the primary as that's the only thing I see I can do to give a no to Obama. If I don't like the Republican candidate, and Obama gets the nod, well, :shrug: (I won't even delve into the horror of Obama vs. Romney :mj02: )
Mahoney gotz baby's momma drama!
"All we got on this team are a buncha Jews, spics, *******, pansies, and a booger-eatin' moron!" ~Tanner Boyle, 1976
This is your's Mahoney, and we did see it in '92 on a much larger scale. Perot wasn't quite as extreme a constructionist as Pipe Dream, but the Texas-born grass roots insurgency had serious legs. He was leading nationally for a time over the media darling Clinton and a Republican incumbent coming off a 42-0 whuppin' of Saddam. I remember his major error was an accidental reference to "you people" during a speech at the NAACP convention. He was speaking in support of the economic plight of minorities, but got crucified by the media as being insensitive and racist because of one slip of the tongue. He had other deficiencies, but that event erased all his momentum. Paul will never be as close as Perot was to the White House. Why do you think Bloomberg is still lurking backstage? He might not run, but he sure as hell doesn't need to make the decision until the hype dies down after the two parties choose their knights. Just like the other RP, he just has to have his acolytes arrange the signatures to get on the ballots in each state, and wait for the opening provided by the media vacuum sure to occur after the conventions, especially since no current candidate appears able to carry off a mandate. He has the $$$$, the soapbox, and the requisite set of nuts to turn the whole shootin' match upside down. That should really get your hair standing on end.......the Jewish guy with power, $$$$, and a broad-based following. Better start building your bunker, just in case.I haven't seen anything like the Ron Paul phenomenon in my lifetime.
How the hell did this team win with Tanner and Englebert anchoring the defense up the middle?They were a joke until Kelly Leak started playing CF! At least Englebert had some pop. Tanner probably hit about .187, and no glove! I guess you can't put a real value on the contribution he provided thru truculence, hostility, and pugnacity:shrug: C
i really like ron paul, but not because i do not like women/blacks.
i had hoped powell would run a few years back and beat bush.
i do feel that ron paul is a candidate that does tell the truth , but no one will ever know. i just don't think he will get the greedy repubs acceptance.
not sure what he can do as an independent.
He can't do nothing. It's up to you. Talk to people, give money, give time, there are others that think like you but , like you, they think they don't matter. If you are for Paul go for it , follow your conscience. We are trying to defeat a system and a government that is owned by corporations that owns the media, that owns our government . It's not up to the republicans, it's up to the American People. New voters can crush the core of these two parties with votes. (side note ) It is pitiful that we can't ensure that every vote is counted. Bush wants to nation build, He brings lip service to free elections for the world but every American can't say with 1000000000000% certainty that OUR elections are crystal clear. THERE SHOULD BE NO DOUBT , THAT EVERY VOTE IN EVERY ELECTION THAT IS HELD IN AMERICA IS COUNTED & COUNTED AS CASTED. There should be no questions from the left, there should be no questions from the right, our elections should be bullet proof. I'm not blaming this on Bush but this is his watch. The first thing our next President should do is secure our elections then secure our borders. I'm not against immigration, I'm for making the American dream legal. Bring them on, We have more than enough, if we elect and support care takers that look out for the wealth that the bag men take to Washington. If the American people want a chance to see what we could be and should be, put a line threw : clinton, edwards, rudy, mitt, and mc cain. forget the single issues, think big , think what could be not what can't be !
Was Mahoney banned?
--personally am quite satisfied with the way U.S. has been in my lifetime--and U.S. has been envy most countries so they must not have it any if much better.
Only changes I seen past decade have been for the worse--which I won't go into but more importantly would like to hear--
--exactly what you think we could be or should be.
Some frighteningly ignorant comments have been made in this thread. But there are so many of them, that it's hard to tell which ones are the worst.
Eventually, after posting enough, you can learn a lot about people. I've learned some in here - and some of it sickens me.
Leave it to a white man (I assume) to say the only people qualified to select a representative of our country of so many colors, ideals, and at least two different sexes should be rich white men. :00x16
As for Obama, I think to continue to say that a black man or a woman, in this day and age, cannot be elected is just being short-sighted. My opinion. They are routinely elected to state, national and local governmental positions, lead Fortune 500 companies, and currently represent two of the highest polling candidates up for election as our next President.
Obama appeals to youth, minorities, women, and is charismatic in the same way JFK was. He appeals to people who see a positive, hopeful message and option, and could be a strong force moving forward.
I'm not saying he SHOULD be the President, but I certainly would not say he can't be. I think that in this election, as much as in any before it, the Vice Presidential candidates could make a big difference, too.
He sure won't play well in the rich KKK club, though, will he? Somehow, I doubt he gives a rats ass what those people think, and hopefully most people won't either.
Ebonics 101: sorry smurph & bryanz.....its baby momma. Appropriate use of possesive contractions do exist in this dialect, which is in use by half of my patients. I have found it much easier developing a rapport wit my peeps through empathy and an understanding/approriate use of the lingo angle. (JK)

Obama gets the Democratic Nom
