Surprised no Hillary threads yet...Follow

Ted Kennedy and CNN have already called him Osama.

Bill Clinton consistantly polled well in job approval ratings, even in the heart of Lewinski-mania.

You could certainly do worse than an average approval rating in the mid 60's.

Yeah, they do look similar in some ways, but I was thinking more the mannerisms, and way they speak. Very proper, which is commendable, but a little too stiff. I imagine that once we hear Obama more, that may change, though.

Apparently the only retort many people have to Obama is to make fun of his name.

Well his official policy on the Iraq conflict is that, and i quote directly from his website "The only hope to end this burgeoning civil war is for Shiites, Sunnis, and Kurds to come together and resolve their differences" Yeah. Good luck with that.

HERE'S A SHOCKER:

As a conservative, I agree with those that say we need to allow the seperate groups to figure thier own problems out. Though, I imagine once the head cleric is kicked in the ***, or killed, much of the violence they're seeing now, will fall off, and it'll be just like Iran, without the nutjob in charge (i.e. we can ignore them again). Once the people in Iraq learn that they can make their voices heard without violence, I wouldn't be surprised to see that country floursih. The people are smart, industrialist, and slowly starting to realize that they're actually free.

We've done what we set out to do, we toppled Saddam, and left the country FREE. We built them a government, and helped to secure their country. We can't do it all. Hell, we can't even secure our own borders from invasion (mostly because the buck keeps getting passed). I think it is time that we re-deploy into Afghanistan. Eliminate the problems that are arising there, and finish what we started: Find and destroy OBL. W. made that promise five and a half years ago, and it seems that he's forgotten it.

This war effort has been mishandled from jump. You cannot fight a "war" with the "fewest troops possible". You have to use maximum force, and use it all at once, no dilly dallying around saying that we're going to "stay the course". Once you're staying the course, you've lost. You're not adapting to the enemy, nor are you adapting to the situation at hand.

I'll admit that I was one of the strongest supporters for finishing the job in Iraq, but I think that based on the original plan, we did that already. If their people want to protect their country, they'll do it, or they'll be under the bootheel of another tyrant.

Uh, it's like the movie Gladiator. Rome (aka Washington) is corrupt. Who knows, if the terrorists had solely focused on Washington rather than the Twin Towers we might've been hailing them as liberators.

More, more accurately, to your interpretation of it

That's not a personal slam. Everyone is pretty much the same way. Myself included.

Barack Obama has his law degree from Harvard and taught Constitutional Law at University of Chicago for ten years before running for the Senate.

If it makes you feel any better, it's a good bet that he's glanced over the document once or twice. Whether or not his feelings on it align with yours is another story entirely.

Hey, Kennedy started it.

" just ask osama obama". What a drunken POS.

NEWSFLASH:


The United States of America is NOT, and I repeat, NOT a democracy. It IS a Constitutional Republic. There are several differences, not the least of which, the general population doesn't vote for the president.

There are several differences, not the least of which, the general population doesn't vote for the president.

NEWSFLASH:

There are, indeed, several differences, fuckstick. Not the least of which being that in a Democracy the office of President wouldn't exist.

If you're going to be a pedantic ****, at least try to be vaguely on target. See also: Jophiel.

Surprised no one has mentioned Bill Richardson yet. With everyone freaking out over immigration, a mostly sane border governor could have a good shot. Richardson also has been in favor (or at least, not actively against) medical marijuana in the past, and that could make a very interesting debate on the national level.
