You're missing some people, dear. :)

Anyways, in the past I've said Hillary but recent events have made me change my mind.

Obama all the way baby. Seems like him and Edwards are teaming up, which wouldn't bother me at all.

Mhm, I feel like she's getting so defensive and losing her grip. Things she's saying don't even make much sense anymore.

I'm all for a woman in the White House, but I definitely wouldn't support her just because she's a woman.

Btw, I really dislike Huckabee and Romney reminds me of a used car salesmen. ;)

As of right now, Guiliani has my vote. Hopefully he wins the Republican candidacy though...

like i said long shot lol or more perhaps wishful thinking! but it certainly dont think it is out of the realm of possibility

I know a the independent party had never really held much of a candle in election races prior but given that a majority of Americans are disgusted by the thought of a republican getting elected i would say this election would be as good of a chance as ever for there to be a strong push in the independent party...who knows i guess we'll see in due time

oh yea and i will be voting!

Obama.

People who don't know anything about Hillary (coughBillarycough) and just want her in office because she's a woman irk me.

My grandparents met Obama before he was running for prez, and persuaded him to run. xD Though that's not like the reason he's running or anything. Lol.

I think Obama has good priorites. Also, he was anti-war in the beginning, and Hilary was pro-war. I've always been anti-war. However, I think he'd be able to handle Iraq well. Without sending 20,000 MORE troops in.

This video basically explains how Bush is handling Iraq. It's very funny. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rw2nkoGLhrE

First Choice: Obama with Edwards as VP.

Second Choice: Edwards with Obama as VP.

Third Choice: Oh, dare I say it?! McCain with anybody but Romney or Giuliani or Huckabee as VP.

Fourth Choice: Jon Stewart with Stephen Colbert as VP! w00t yeah!

Anyway. I only say anybody but Romney, Giuliani or Huckabee because of a: Romney and Giuliani are pro-drilling in ANWR (Alaskan National Wildlife Reserve- A PROTECTED AREA!) for oil (which, with the smallest of errors, could damage an entire ecosystem!) and Huckabee's too connected to his religion. He's using it as a platform and I don't want somebody who is so religious that they would ignore what's best for a nation just so they didn't go against their own beliefs.

So. There. I've said my piece.

In other news....Obama's ahead of Clinton by like....10 percent in NH! YAY!

I am torn between Obama and Edwards for the Massachusetts primary which is coming up in like a month.
Seeing how it looks like the Republican candidate will be Huckabee or Romney I am really hoping I like whoever the democratic nominee is since I experienced Romney as a governor and he was not that great but he seems to have improved since then but I still don't like any of the Republican candidates.

I have until November to choose between whoever the candidates may be but I really should start thinking about the democratic primary ballot....

I am really excited about this presidential election since there really was no excitement in the first presidential election I could vote in between George W. and John Kerry.

Not sure yet. I'm more or less deciding between Obama and Edwards, though. I *still* wish there was a way to get a good idea of who they were and what their ideas/plans were without hunting for and reading millions of articles. :headache: Maybe I'll just go to YouTube and look for stuff there- didn't all the candidates have accounts on the site? I could finally see some of their speeches. *Has missed pretty much everything to do with the election so far*

Oh, good news, though- I registered to vote yesterday! They've gotta wait a few weeks to send in my form, but they've still got it and will send me a letter when it's all official. :D

You can go to their campaign sites, but they're kind of boring if you don't get the politics mumbo-jumbo. Looking on youtube for the speeches and debates is a good idea, also just watch the news basically anytime and they have stuff on about the campaigns.

Huckabee wanted to quarantine the gay community when AIDS first broke out.

Edwards had invested 16 million dollars in a company that forecloses on houses of those effected by hurricane Katrina.

That really bothers me. But I have to give it to her, it was smart.

She knows that there's that whole stereotypical woman thing going on. She knew that if she showed some more emotions, it would appeal to a wide audience. People would be sorry for her, and vote her way. People would think she wasn't a cold, heartless person anymore, and vote her way.

It so...ergh! If a man had done it, his ratings would drop hugely. People would say he wasn't cut out to be President, he wasn't strong enough. Which is true, I guess.

In a case like this, it's a difficult descision.

But I would have to say Clinton on this one, because women have been pushed around for so many years. Women have only just recently gotten rights.
I understand the same is happening for the African race, and even more that there is still racism going on.
But I would like to prove that women can change the world for a better cause. If Clinton won, she could help put a stop to the racism, might I add.

For all of those people that don't want "Billary" for president, I really don't understand your point.

When Bill was president, we weren't in this huge war that has cost us billions of dollars.

I really haven't decided who I like because I believe that all politicians are crooks no matter what political spectrum they are on.

The Democrats need to stop throwing so much mud at each other because it is eventually going to lead to a Republican in office. Whether it is, Clinton, Obama, or Edwards, I really don't care, as long as it is not a Republican.

He says that he wants to take big business out of politics but who is it that funded his campaign for the Senate and his presidential campaign? Big Business.

Yes I know that all politicians say one thing and do another, but when it comes to business, it should have no influence in politics.

AdioSkater
01-28-2008, 10:59 PM
The Bombing in 1993 happened only a few months into Clinton's term, there really wasn't anything that he could have done to prevent it. Considering there were only 6 fatalities, there really wasn't a lot of damage done.

As far as the bombings on the Embassy, what more could he have done? The situation happened and he took action after.

Contrary to what you might think, I actually liked Clinton as a president, but every politician has his faults. I was expressing my dissapointment with the way he handled al-Qaeda.

And btw, ask my family or close friends, I'm ridiculously far from being a Republican.

::yes:: lol

Obama for Democrat or McCain for Republican.


I don't understand this mentality. If Obama doesn't get the ticket, why would you vote for a republican? That makes no sense.

Some people don't care about 'parties' they just like a candidate for his views. Taz might like both cadidates views.

His opinion, even if it might not make sense.

Or basically anyone but Hillary.

I'm fine with any of the Republicans :D

The Bombing in 1993 happened only a few months into Clinton's term, there really wasn't anything that he could have done to prevent it. Considering there were only 6 fatalities, there really wasn't a lot of damage done.

As far as the bombings on the Embassy, what more could he have done? The situation happened and he took action after.


first: ONLY 6 fatalities? ONE fatality is too many when this could have been prevented when he was in office. tell my uncle, who was in the towers that day in '93 who had lost people he had worked with, that it's ONLY 6 fatalities.

second: what could he have done to stop the bombings of the embassy?! if he didn't restrict the CIA from gathering intelligence, which is their JOB, they would have known before it had happened. he so could have prevented that.

This happened in February of 1993, not even two full months into Clinton's term. What all can someone do in that amount of time? Yes I agree that no fatalities should occur, but in a greater sense of things, 6 fatalities is less severe then hundreds.


As far as Clinton preventing the CIA from doing their job, what is your source? Where are you getting this info from? (a link if possible)

As you asked me before...

What are you trying to prove? Are you trying to prove that Clinton was some great holy President? Because he simply is not.

I haven't even begun to mention his 'extra curricular' activites. :)

That is going to come up in every Clinton conversation. Many people wanted him impeached. In my opinion, not a role model leader.

I am not trying to prove anything. I am simply trying to prove that he isn't as horrible as everyone makes him out to be.

Besides, it is not like he was the first president to do that, he was just the first to be caught.

For a president that constantly had to defend himself, he did a great job. Was he the best president we've ever had? No.

Would Hillary Clinton make a horrible president? No.

That is all I am trying to say. People say how bad things would be if H. Clinton won the election, but in all actuality, that is not the case.

Ahh, I'm not trying to make him out to be horrible. It was one statement about his response to al-Qaeda! I actually liked the guy, as I've said before. Everybody has their faults, these were his.

And if you look back at the thread, I'm not a Hilary hater. If Obama doesn't get the nom. I'm perfectly fine with supporting Clinton.

If that is the case, you should have no reason to bring up anything other than his response to al-qaeda.

It wasn't a matter of saying how perfect he was. Nobody is perfect, especially politicians. Besides, just like everyone else, the issue of his cheating had to be brought up, when there was no need for it.

As far as this debate goes, I have no more to say because my points have been proven.

Really?

My whole point was this. People are saying that if H. Clinton is elected, it will become "Billary". If this is true, would it be such a bad thing?

Your two arguments against him are, Al-Qaeda and the scandal.

As far as Al-Qaeda, only one thing happened that was in his control, the U.S. embassy, and that was handled.

As far as the scandal goes, he was not the first president to do that, he was just the first to get caught. Besides is this really the worst thing that can be said against him?

I'm going to stop here because this conversation in just leading somewhere I would not like it to go.

So with these words, I am done.

This is the part I'm talking about. I just don't understand how you say it was proven, because it wasn't. It's your opinion of those things, but my opinion differs.

Anyways, you're right. I'm done trying to defend my opinion.

okay, you're right, he couldn't have prevented it. but there is no way you could say that the clinton administration didn't know that it was going to happen. how could he come into presidency not knowing that bin laden was planning something? they knew 10 years before he took office that bin laden was a threat and he planning to do something to us. that doesn't say much for his administration, now does it?

clinton stopped paying informants, so how is the cia suppose to gather their information? as for where i get my information, my grandfather works with the cia and he told me about clinton lowering their ability to find information.

As much as you would like to believe your grandfather, it is not a source that I find reliable.

As far as Clinton knowing, Clinton really could only know as much as Bush Sr. decided to hand over.

Yes but there is a difference between being a governor and being president.

She is trying to say that Clinton was completely responsible for the 93 attack on the World Trade Center, when it happened not even two full months into his term.

She's sort of right though, people knew Bin Laden was going to attack eventually. And people also knew it was al-Qaeda who funded the '93 attack. He said they just couldn't prove it.

He was playing it safe.

It was known by some of the public that al-Qaeda "could be" planning an attack on America, so I'm sure Bill Clinton, being a governor, would know at least a little more.

People have been trying to track Bin Laden down for years. When it was first heard there had been a terrorist attack on WTC I'm sure most political officials knew who was behind it.
