Here's one he could remove from the "Gene Pool"!
Don't you realize that guy is famous? He set the record for the 1st hybrid car to hit 100 mph.

"I happen to respect the man a great deal, and to be quite honest, so does the rest of the world."
that would be some fantastic proof to back that statement up.
Ya, huge Packer fan. Only made 5 games this year.
France and Germany elected conservative leaders that embrace the U.S. and her policies. They didn't run away from Bush.
How's that for starters?
You can't believe everything you hear on ABC and CNN.
It blows my mind that that could even be remotely possible. Both will be unmitigated disasters.Right now, I am guessing we are likely to have either hillary or obama in the white house next year. Now, im not happy about this, but its looking like thats how it'll turn out.
My Mom? She's wacko!!!
I'm not so sure we can predict how a democrat president and congressional democrats would handle a terrorist attack since democrats often lie about their intentions and don't follow through on what they say they intend to do as evidenced by what has transpired thus far with democrats holding a majority of congress and their numerous broken promises after the 2006 elections. So, while you may think that democrats will freeze and drop the ball should we be attacked, I think they are also capable of going off the deep end in the opposite direction. They may declare martial law, suspend the constitution, invent or increase taxes in a panic to raise revenue to fight terrorism, tank our economy and invade Mexico and Canada--all while blaming President Bush. The point being is that the current crop of ultra-left-wing democrats are unpredictable.I think we need a Dem in office and in control of Congress when we get attacked again. People will then be able to make a clear-cut distinction between how Repubs protect the country and how Dems do.
A major city goes down, panic the likes we've never experienced will ensue. Oil, $200 or more a gallon. Looting out of control. The Dems will call for a military curfew.
Only then will we get past this 50/50 impass. The Dems had a nice 40 year run in the House and Senate. Time for the Repubs to get the same timetable.
It blows my mind that that could even be remotely possible. Both will be unmitigated disasters.
And the last time I checked, GW wasn't running.
I honestly have no clue who to vote for yet. I could like Huckabee if he would stop injecting religon into every friggin speech - I could like Ron Paul if he was even close to electable.
:I
Couldnt agree with you more I I hear one more christian quote from Huckabee I am going to puke...... Ron Paul is toast too liberal for most conservatives.

a late-1990s doctrine of preserving U.S. hegemony by overthrowing unfriendly regimes – a moronic vision that nonetheless manifested itself in the invasion and occupation of Iraq, with Iran as the regime-changers' next target.
______________________________________________
You may find this doctine agreeable but IMO this is a moronic vision that Bush was sold on and adopted.
I see this as the bully trying to force his will upon others by intimidation.
Our experience in Iraq has shown how difficult it is to subjugate even a small 3rd rate country never mind more formidable nations.
Bush proclaimed "Mission Accomplished" after a few months and yes Saddam was removed but Bush and Cheney thought we'd be treated like the liberators of Paris and this would be over in a few months yet here we are almost 5 years later still struggling.
Bush won't even admit how badly his administration miscalculated things. If so it's only belatedly, partially and grudgingly.
And the neocons want us to be able to fight 2 or 3 wars at the same time.
This type of military projection of power is unsustainable
given our current economic weakness which we should be more concerned with than expanding the American Empire.
I don't hear Huckabee constantly quoting the Bible. He's too smart for that because he knows it would upset a lot of people. It might be your perception that he constantly talks about the Bible because, like Mitt Romney, he's being bombarded with questions from the media about his religious faith and what role it would play in his decision-making as president.:I Couldnt agree with you more I I hear one more christian quote from Huckabee I am going to puke...... Ron Paul is toast too liberal for most conservatives.
I wasn't fond of Truman..
Fortunately over 50% of the country disagreed with youI really dislike George W Bush and think he's unfit for the office.
A "C" student...at Yale (Which I have no doubt is better then what you could do at that time). Either way, how is that relevant?He's a C student ex alchoholic who was born lucky.
To be the smartest man in the room he has to surround himself with people who are stupider than he is and even then he doesn't like debate or critisism.
Then there's the whole born again christian who speaks to god thing.
Like Einstien, I don't believe in a personal god who intervenes in people's lives or events on earth so to me
Bush is, putting it charitably, funny in the head.
Well theres the problem, your Canadian .I come from Canada, a secular country where religion is a private matter which is not a part of politics.
But Canada isn't America, remember. Canada is effectively irrelevant on the world stage, in comparison to America.I can't remember anyone running for office in Canada even mentioning anything about faith.
It still hasn't been show that America is an "Empire".Nowhere is it written that the American Empire goes on forever.
That America is powerless to stop or influence many things
and countries and has become the worlds biggest borrower with only 4% of the population tells me that the slide has already begun and we are no longer the most important country in the world except to ourselves.
A strong military is a waste of money if it doesn't bring in any booty or conquer territory.
be all about empire now? You obviously hae no clue how the govenment works or what the function of military is.should
I don't hear Huckabee constantly quoting the Bible.
Bush's family connections helped him through yale like they have with everything in his life.
Unlike McCain and Kerry he ducked military service in Vietnam.
Bush is a very polarizing leader. People either love him or hate him with very little in between.

I wasn't sure what you meant by "christian quote". I thought you must be referring to the Bible because you used the term "quote". I'm still not sure what you're referring to. What do you mean by "christian overtones"? Do you have an example?I never said the bible MAC1
The guy cant open his yap without some christian overtones :shifty:
