Subject: RE: BS: And the next US President will be From: Little Hawk Date: 19 Jul 07 - 11:49 AM Well, folks, I am sad to say it, but I think if you elect the Democrats, regardless of who they nominate....they will betray you. On the other hand, you'd have to be crazy to elect the Republicans again. Hell of a bind, isn't it? Well, I guess if I was an American I would hold my nose and vote Democratic next time...in the faint hope that it might be an improvement. Yeah. You never know, right? There's no chance for a third party to win in that country. The vested interests are too powerful to allow it. |

Subject: RE: BS: And the next US President will be From: Alice Date: 19 Jul 07 - 09:30 AM If the Democrats nominate Hillary, the next pres will be a Republican. She has too much baggage even for some Democrats. It will be just like the Swift Boat attacks on Kerry, they will dredge up everything about Whitewater and smear with it all over again. |

Subject: RE: BS: And the next US President will be From: Pseudolus Date: 19 Jul 07 - 09:15 AM "we will NOT elect a Republican!" Yeah but even when we don't they still win!!! Frank |

Subject: RE: BS: And the next US President will be From: artbrooks Date: 19 Jul 07 - 09:15 AM Granted that politicians are changeable creatures...and that they all lie...but Bill Richardson has been very vocal here (in New Mexico) lately that he would not give up being governor for the vice presidency. I'd bet he would to be secretary of state, though. |

Subject: RE: BS: And the next US President will be From: Rapparee Date: 19 Jul 07 - 09:10 AM Yeah, I know. |

Subject: RE: BS: And the next US President will be From: beardedbruce Date: 19 Jul 07 - 09:02 AM But I truly doubt that they WILL. |

Subject: RE: BS: And the next US President will be From: Rapparee Date: 19 Jul 07 - 08:58 AM The Democrats must also stay on target and not be lead astray by non-issues blown up big, such as gay marriage, illegal immigration, and abortion. Yes, these are important, but they should instead hit and keep hitting on health care, veterans care, the cost of education, and how the rich get richer and the poor and middle class are getting the shaft. Bill Clinton had it right with his "It's the economy, stupid!" hammer. Otherwise, it'll be divide and conquer all over again. |

Subject: RE: BS: And the next US President will be From: beardedbruce Date: 19 Jul 07 - 08:48 AM Rapaire, I agree with all of your comments, BUT... Since the Democrats can be depended on to pul defeat from the jaws of victory, I expect a Clinton nomination, or someone else that will mobilize the Republican base to vote against them. |

Subject: RE: BS: And the next US President will be From: Rapparee Date: 19 Jul 07 - 08:39 AM Even the Republicans out here in Deep Scarlet Land are getting tired of Republicans. I think an Obama/Edwards, Obama/Richardson, or Edwards/Richardson ticket would be unbeatable. Clinton brings too much "East Coast baggage" with her to play well East of the Potomac or West of the Truckee. It's not just going to be about Iraq. It's going to be about health care, veteran's care (even the American Legion is going to push that one), education, college costs, and the US falling behind more and more in so many fields. |

Subject: RE: BS: And the next US President will be From: GUEST,Darowyn Date: 19 Jul 07 - 07:42 AM Are you sure you mean meritocracy John? That would imply that the people at the top deserve to be there. Plutocracy- rule of the very rich seems a better term. Cheers Dave |

Subject: RE: BS: And the next US President will be From: katlaughing Date: 19 Jul 07 - 07:40 AM we will NOT elect a Republican! |

Subject: RE: BS: And the next US President will be From: John MacKenzie Date: 19 Jul 07 - 07:32 AM The person who buys the most votes of course. America is after all a Giok |
|
Subject: RE: BS: And the next US President will be From: kendall Date: 19 Jul 07 - 07:29 AM Like it or not, Fred Thompson will be the next president. People don't vote FOR; they vote AGAINST. Thompson is a seasoned actor, just like Reagan was, and he knows how to play to the camera. All he needs is a collection of one liners that are written by someone else, and he's in. |

Subject: RE: BS: And the next US President will be From: Liz the Squeak Date: 19 Jul 07 - 01:36 AM So we really could end up with a Bush/Clinton/Bush/Clinton run then? Maybe Chelsea Clinton should marry Jeb Bush and start another dynasty. Excuse me if I don't get all excited. The only thing likely is that we'll still end up knee deep in the kack regardless of who is elected to office. LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: And the next US President will be From: Ebbie Date: 19 Jul 07 - 12:58 AM I would like Edwards/Obama. A great combo. However. I think it's going to be Fred Thompson. |

Subject: RE: BS: And the next US President will be From: Bert Date: 19 Jul 07 - 12:33 AM Now you know that the Republicans are going to run some well known and generally respected actor who will win by a landslide if they keep their voting machines. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: And the next US President will be From: artbrooks Date: 18 Jul 07 - 11:51 PM I read that, in a recent poll of likely Republican voters, "none of the above" came out ahead of all of the current Republican contenders. Sounds good to me. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: And the next US President will be From: Rabbi-Sol Date: 18 Jul 07 - 11:19 PM It's going to be Hillary as President and Bill Richardson as VP in order to balance the ticket. Obama's turn will come 8 years later when he gets a little more seasoning. SOL |

For feck's sake! For the record, I'll take any Demo, but I think an Edwards/Obama would be great! |

Subject: RE: BS: And the next US President will be From: Peace Date: 18 Jul 07 - 10:29 PM "Time now for "The Most Ridiculous Item of the Day." As we mentioned, JetBlue is sponsoring a far left hate web site. And I didn't know this until yesterday, but one of JetBlue's initial investors was far-left financier George Soros. Aha! But not so fast. It seems that Soros has been dumping stock recently, selling almost two million shares. Since the stock is way down, Soros is getting out on the low end, which may be ridiculous, but maybe the guy knows something we don't. —You can catch Bill O'Reilly's "Talking Points Memo" and "Most Ridiculous Item" weeknights at 8 and 11 p.m. ET on the FOX News Channel and any time on foxnews.com/oreilly.

Subject: RE: BS: And the next US President will be From: Peace Date: 18 Jul 07 - 10:24 PM My nomination. Smarter than Bush, loyal and when she barks an order . . . |

Subject: RE: BS: And the next US President will be From: Sorcha Date: 18 Jul 07 - 10:18 PM Now that is a HELL of an idea, Amos! You really think the voters would go for it even if Colin did? He never did like politics much. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: And the next US President will be From: Cluin Date: 18 Jul 07 - 10:17 PM Boy, I sure hope the Democrats aren't stupid enough to run Hillary Clinton this time. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: And the next US President will be From: Amos Date: 18 Jul 07 - 10:13 PM I think Obama should pay a late visit to Colin Powell. But it ain't gonna happen. Powell has sworn off politics, claiming it is "not in my genetic makeup." I sympathize, me. A |

Subject: RE: BS: And the next US President will be From: Sorcha Date: 18 Jul 07 - 10:09 PM Gods, not Brownback!! Even Kansas hates him! I'd consider voting Obama/Clinton...or the other way round. I'd also consider Edwards/Clinton, or honestly, almost anybody the Dems can front. I too have NO faith in the Convention thing. Haven't for a long time. What do you suppose Dole/Dole would do for the Repubs....No, I thought not either, LOL. Guiliani is a possibility. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: And the next US President will be From: Rapparee Date: 18 Jul 07 - 10:07 PM Right now I'd vote against Republicanism in protest against the damage that's been done to the US since 1980. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: And the next US President will be From: Alice Date: 18 Jul 07 - 10:06 PM I'm hoping Edwards pres and Obama vice pres. To see how the candidates match your own beliefs, go to: http://www.selectsmart.com/president/2008.html I actually had Obama come up as my top match, almost 100%, but I think he'd make a better v.p. |

Subject: RE: BS: And the next US President will be From: Bill D Date: 18 Jul 07 - 09:59 PM Bill Maher, the smart-ass comedian....who must be smart, because he is finally getting around to saying stuff I have been saying for a couple of years....says that an Edwards/Clinton ticket will win for the Dems...but that the only sure losing ticket would be Clinton/Obama. He thinks THAT combo would be too much for some folks to swallow....I dunno. Anyway, I doubt it'll come to that. What I fear is that if Fred Thompson runs, all the Republicans will say, "YES!, anyone who is not Guliani, McCain, Romney or Brownback!"....and vote for him 'just to be Republican'. What I hope is that many of those who have switched to Independent will end up voting against Republicanism in protest for supporting the war. |

Subject: RE: BS: And the next US President will be From: John on the Sunset Coast Date: 18 Jul 07 - 09:56 PM Amos, I have given up all hope that any nomination, either party, will ever again be decided at the convention. In fact, the nominees of the parties will probably have a nine month lead time in preparing to take office, having amassed the requisite delegates for nomination by February or March of 2008. If the nominee currently holds office, s/he will be effectively AWOL from that office until the actual election. Yes, I am pretty cynical of the whole process as it has evolved in the past half century. |

Subject: RE: BS: And the next US President will be From: Rapparee Date: 18 Jul 07 - 09:52 PM I'm still in the running, and my platform remains the same. I'll even put it in writing, and here it is: 1. I will resign the minute I'm eligible for the retirement benefits. 2. I will try not to screw things up too badly before I resign. |

Subject: RE: BS: And the next US President will be From: Little Hawk Date: 18 Jul 07 - 09:49 PM Chongo Chimp! It's time to put a REAL chimp in the White House, not just a poor imitation of one! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: And the next US President will be From: Amos Date: 18 Jul 07 - 09:29 PM It's Hillary's to lose, but I am kinda hoping she does, at the Convention. Then, who knows. The Republicans don't have a man in full to offer and the pseudomen have been all punched full of holes by their associations. A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: And the next US President will be From: Rapparee Date: 18 Jul 07 - 09:19 PM Someone else, if it isn't already. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: And the next US President will be From: Peace Date: 18 Jul 07 - 09:08 PM The next President will be someone other than George Bush and Dick Cheney will not ever get elected to anything again. SO, whoever the next President is--even a dead and rotting dog--will be a giant step up. |

Subject: BS: And the next US President will be From: GUEST,sorefingers Date: 18 Jul 07 - 08:53 PM Barack Osama I seen this graffiti on a wall and laughed too much; error or not it says it all. The aging US population with a dyslexic limited attention span swamped with endless advertising would not know the difference, and hey the most likely winner is the name of the person the voter remembers on the day. Long live Baracks Osama |
