Gee,,,,,,,,,,,,Not a 'Draft Dodger' and has 'Military Experience', Just what we need, a 'Manager to Manage a War that is in Total Chaos'
Once again we Americans are choosing leaders based on their personality and flash rather than on the issues or the qualifications of the candidates. Politics in America, despite the frightfully seriousness of election outcomes, is not take very seriously by the majority of Americans. At least part of the problem is the news coverage in America. Serious issues are deliberately overlooked or glazed over so that our major politicians can be given the same kind of treatment granted to the likes of Michael Jackson and Brittany Spears.
The news media should be closely questioning these candidates about their planned energy policies. Why? Because energy effects every other aspect of our lives including, the economy, national security and the environment. Those planned energy policies are available for your review at the following places:
Hillary Clinton:
www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/energy/
Completely unworkable from an engineering standpoint and will therefore fail as a public policy. Public policies MUST conform to the facts of reality or they become disasters.
Mike Huckabee:
www.mikehuckabee.com/?FuseAction=Issues.View&Issue_id=21
Long on dramatic promises with a promised schedule that is nearly impossible. Governor Huckabee does not, however, reveal any details about how plans to reach his proposed goals. He is, in other words, saying that we should trust him and that he knows what he is doing. One suspects he intends to pray a lot over this issue.
John McCain
Has not posted a planned energy policy on his web site and even fails to mention it in his national security plans. This to me says a number of very bad things about Senator McCain's abilities as a strategist.
Barak Obama;
www.barackobama.com/issues/energy/
Almost wholly interchangeable with the Clinton's proposed policy and would be just as disastrously unworkable and ineffective.
Mitt Romney:
www.mittromney.com/Issues/ending-energy-dependence
Looked at from an engineering perspective, this is the ONLY energy policy proposed by any candidate that is reflective of sound engineering practice. Unfortunately, Governor Romney neglected to post enough in the way of detail for us to make rally good assessment of his plans.
This latter is no surprise. It is very much reflective of the choices made available to the American voter this time around. There are no candidates with whom anyone of good sense can feel comfortable. We have before us a list of less than desirable choices, but given that Governor Romney is the ONLY candidate to have made more than a half-hearted effort to address the energy needs of the United States, I am obliged to support him. I dislike the man intensely, but he is the ONLY candidate out of the lot to demonstrate a modicum of real thinking power.
' In addition he was a lousy pilot and a border-line coward....not a war hero at all.'
As a former aviator I can assure you that this guy was idolized and as a human being I can assure you that you are a piece of sh*t.
He is an agnry hand puppet of AIPAC.
One can only wish the 'hanoi' tapes surface and soon.
McINsane American Traitor.
This is like going to the largest toy store in the country and not finding a single box of LEGO bricks;

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitt_romney
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_huckabee
At least Romney seems to have competent engineer on his staff or consults with one.
John Kerry can get Swift Boated. But if someone tries to do it to the guy you like, then they are a piece of s--t. God bless you my friend, I love it, excellent entertainment.......unfortunately that's what politics has become in America.
BTW - I didn't know wether to vote for Clinton or Obama but, when the Clintons started trashing the man it sealed my vote for Obama.
cliton,obama or macanin makes no difference.
was hopeing jeb bush would run.
I think republicans are playing a trick to show that blacks have importance but party politics have brought the republican party down, other wise obama would have been the president.
is elected president, لنعترف جميع التحدث بالعربيه
The Billary loaned their campaign five million of their own money. Since 5 Feb 08, small contributors have given the Obama campaign some 7.43 million and as far as I know, that number is still rising.

Here is an outside opinion worth reading:
www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/main.jhtml?xml=/opinion/2008/02/06/do0609.x ml
The murders in the USA by people who are frustrated with life and government is a strong indication that there is no strong honest leadership in America. Families are being torn apart and killing each other for reasons only god knows and understands. The American Republic and its candidate for President, Judah Ben-Hur can and will change the course of America without the consent of the corrupt Congress and Senate. New laws that govern and protect the People are in order. We offer the American people a new world order for peace, only after we fix America. America is finished as a nation of free people, and must be replaced with one for the People who wish to be free and treated as Earthlings!
As far as people in the U.S. killing each other - the percentage of that in relation to the MILLIONS of people living here is very small! When there is a killing, it usually gets big press if it's one out of the ordinary. I agree that McCain isn't the man for the job for various reasons - one being his age. 71 isn't decrepit, but he'll be over 72 when he takes office, then add 4 more years to that!!!!
Just too good to pass up:

surprised when McCain turns out to be as dumb as a box of rocks. He might try to steer clear of debates with the last man/woman, of the other party, standing. He will be mowed down.
PS He's another Bush but more blood-thirsty.
