Politics, News & Issues > Presidential Elections 2008 Will Hillary Clinton ever be president?: 2 of 57
Ever since George W. Bush was elected to his second term, it was assumed by most people in this country that Mrs. Clinton would be anointed as the presidential candidate for the democratic party.

Governor Palin is one of only fifty Governors in the United States. This fact, in and of itself, qualifies her for the office of the vice presidency. She has earned her way to one of the top political positions in the country, so why wouldn't she be ready for the office? Anyone who would argue that Governor Palin isn't qualif... More..

"Will Americans vote for a black man or a white woman", you ask? We'll, let's examine the facts. It appears as if they already have, if you want to count the primaries as part of our presidential electoral process.

Politics, News & Issues > US Elections Archives Hillary Clinton's qualifications to be president: 5 of 51
Hillary Clinton has about as many qualifications to become president as most any other senator in congress, but I think the more important issue is whether or not she has the strength of character and personal fortitude to reveal her true political convictions and inner feelings to the public.

It appears as if the best of this country has come to pass and may be gone forever. With the election of Barack Obama, it seems as if the dumbing-down of America is complete.

Politics, News & Issues > Presidential Elections 2008 US elections 2008: Assessing Obama's chances against McCain: 2 of 16
I think Barack Obama has a great chance of beating John McCain, I mean he did bowl a 36, didn't he? That alone should attract enough total losers, you know, the type that usually are a member of the Democratic party, to beat old Johnny.

Politics, News & Issues > Presidential Elections 2008 Should fighting climate change be a priority to the next President?: 1 of 7
You can't fight "Mother Nature", and to try to shoulder the responsibility of global climate changes on the President of the United States is absurd. The earth has been warming since the end of the ice age, which is millions of years, and that is a fact, and it has nothing to do with presidential policy. Who wrote this questi... More..
