Don't need a wall. Just need to make living in the USA much more uncomfortable for Mexican invaders, than it is, living in Mexico.


You obviously haven't been paying attention to all the socialist entitlement programs that Obama and the Hildabeast have been dangling in front of this country's losers.


Yeah, but screw the rich people, right?


Where the hell did you get that? If you're going to make a blanket statement like that, you better have some facts to back it up.


Yes, but when one party constantly talks about raping rich people, taking that money, and just doling it out to the dregs of society, simply because rich people have more money, THAT'S SOCIALISM.

How about instead of demonizing those in our society who've become successful, we should strive to become like they are, instead of vice versa?

Obama's rise is not based on his race, but it has helped him in predominately Black districts where racial pride is important. Hillary has also benefited from female-pride. But Obama's rise is also based on a lot of anti-Hillary and anti-the past sentiment.

Hillary complains that voters don't know her and the media is not giving her favorable coverage. She has been in the media for 20 years and has generally received favorable coverage since her election to the Senate. The reasons that people don't like her is that they do know her and that they don't want to vote for her. Familiarity breeds contempt.

If Democrat voters wanted experience, they would have chosen Dodd, Biden, or Richardson. Hillary benefits greatly from the 60% female democrat voters.

For Republicans, they will vote for Experience every time, and that is why McCain won the primary over his lesser experienced opponents.

In the end, the election will come down to whether Centrist-voters want McCain's experience, or Obama's change.

Republicans will never vote for a Democrat - even though many say they will vote for Obama. I just don't think Republicans will ever find a "perfect Democrat" that they can vote for. However, McCain may lose the evangelical vote and wall street vote given his derision of both groups.

Also, if banks fail, more savings and loans will be lost and a cascading effect will ruin retirement savings and jobs, like Enron.

Therefore I can't possibly be Pro-Hillary, Pro-Barak, or Pro-Democratic Party. And it's not my father's democrats who made it that way. It is the fault of the far left, who high-jacked the Democratic Party to advance a minority political ideology.

I WAS VERY WILLING TO VOTE DEMOCRATIC IN THIS NEXT ELECTION, IF THE DEMS MADE A GOOD CALL ON WHO CHOSE TO REPRESENT THEIR PARTY! Because I am also upset with the leadership we see coming from the White House and the RNC. McCain was not their first pick! Trust me! (Which is another reason why we should vote him into office.)

It is my strong conviction that John McCain has the courage to try and undo the damage. But if he can't pull it off, then I am confident that the political leadership of the RNC is incapable of giving us a national candidate and I will find one myself.

From a personal standpoint, as a socialist, I like McCain and would vote for him if I did not agree with the platform the Democratic candidate stood on, rather like the Fragrant Anne Coulters stance on voting for Ms Clinton if she is the Democratic pick, because to quote loosely " Ms Clinton is more right wing than McCain"
