It seems like more time is spent on what group is voting for what and who is ahead in the polls, instead of issues. I am kind of disgusted by this.

I hate Hillary personally. I also think she would make a bad leader based on the way she is running her campaign (in major debt and turnover of the most important campaign positions) and her "mis-statements", which directly affects her creditability.

Obama made a good statement once about Bill's economy: he attributed it to Robert Rubin, Clinton's Treasury Secretary. It wasn't some magic policy that Clinton had, but to policies set by an economic expert.

Does it matter to me about policy? Somewhat, and generally the policies of the Democrats appeal to me more than the other parties. Frankly, I like the policies of the Green Party even more, but I do not think Nader has the character to handle the pressure of running our country. I think Obama can, and honestly, I think McCain can as well.

Dumb.

Dumb, dumb dumb.

No PotUS knows everything. Most topics require the PotUS to hire the best people and listen to them.

Are you talking about the economy that created all those horrible free trade agreements, that caused the trade defecate to be as bad as it is now?

You dont think it has anything to do with the weak dollar and the deficit, which has to do with the war?

Or that if Bush recognized this trade agreement was bad, which he was distracted because of the war?

You see, in 2000 I thought Bush was an idiot, but he never discussed in his policy about oil reserves, budget deficits, or war and peace.

I bet if he had said that he was planning on invading Iraq, I bet most people would not have voted for him.

Bush is A LOT worse than clinton. That still doesn't mean clinton did a good job.

:stupid:

So true, so true. The only member of the W camp I ever liked was Powell and he walked away. I like to see who people surround themselves with as well as what choices they make. A good leader makes good calls based on the information he/she is given. Bad people provide bad information.
