That's one of the reasons I was behind Rudy so much.

Unfortunately, I'm now at a point where I think we need to make a hard left in order to go straight

Ha! No deal. I may be a realist as to the ways of the world, but when it comes to its future, I'm a quixotic, "pie in the sky", utopian, out-of-touch, romanticizing fruit cake and am not rational enough to take on such wagers. No politician is as "out of touch" with the voters and the constituents like I am!

Think we'll have to hear about peoples affairs from 20 years ago?. In Tennessee they tried to segregate the two senate candidates bcs one went to some frat party. I was so disgusted- didnt even vote for local election.

Well YAP , this is exactly what I was talking about on the thread about supreme court justices! I do believe you are politically schizophrenic, Rudy and Mrs Bill Clinton may not be polar opposites but they certainly are on the far ends of the political spectrum on most issues !

I know, and YOU were the first person I thought of when I heard the news, lol.

Uggh, I NEVER thought this would happen. Not in a million years.

Sorry Rudy, I'm siding with the Chick, lol

Don't give up hope--with eighteen months to go there must be a good chance we haven't seen all the contestants yet.

why vote for a party when you can vote for an individual? There are independent candidate too, you must realize? That way you'll have someone more concerned about doing presidential duties and not helping out their party. Someone of the people, truly.

I would never vote for Hilary Clinton....I like my video games, you see.

I love Obama too- the man has his head screwed on straight and it makes me feel a little bit hopeful.

But I am curious why you don't like Hillary?
