can't decide what to paste - it's all good.

PS and furthermore, Kucinich comes in 3rd on that poll behind Obama and Ron Paul.

8. For what it's Worth, Kucinich is my first choice
But I could vote for Obama with a clean conscience.

5. No other candidate could do as much to change and restore America's image in the world.
Edited on Tue Aug-28-07 12:38 AM by calteacherguy
Just seeing his face on televisions worldwide as the President-elect would transform our image in the world to from a run amok cowboy nation to an inclusive, multicultural, global leader on the world stage.

And he has the best character and judgment to boot.

Obama slip on Canada

(CNN) – For the second time in recent debates, the mention of world leaders has attracted attention to Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.

At Tuesday night’s AFL-CIO forum in Chicago, Obama was asked if he would scrap the North American Free Trade Agreement as president. The senator from Illinois said, “I would immediately call the president of Mexico, the president of Canada, to try to amend NAFTA, because I think that we can get labor agreements in that agreement right now.”

The only problem is Canada has a prime minister, not a president.

And just in case anybody missed Obama’s slip, Senator Joe Biden noted, “Hey, look, the president's job is to create jobs, not to export jobs. And the idea that we are not willing to take the prime minister of Canada and the president of Mexico to the mat to make this agreement work is just a lack of presidential leadership. I would lead. I would do that. I would change it.”

– CNN Political Desk Managing Editor Steve Brusk

12. Oh for Christs sake, I don't think about you at all.
I'm not making fun of anyone, I simply don't have the time so get over yourself. I happen to prefer Dennis but I found the thread interesting. That's ALL. No ulterior motive, no hidden agenda, just the facts on the ground.

As for you personally, I don't know you and I don't care about you. You are but a slice of at least 100.000. You are not important enough in my life to even pay attention to so don't take it personally.

13. well, you know what
Edited on Tue Aug-28-07 01:19 AM by AtomicKitten
I'm probably pretty wound up from spending too much time here, and I'm tired. I apologize. I'm on guard from all the fractious nonsense, and I hate it. I really do. I don't want to be or feel this way. I'm sucked into the vortex again. I ignored your insults and I apologize. You can accept it, or not.

Peace.

16. Apology accepted and I totally understand what you are feeling
I am so tired and burned out from the relentless onslaught of the destruction of our American way of life by the corporate whores that I sometimes wish I was just stupid. I asked a co-worker today if he knew who Alberto Gonzolas was. He had no idea. I bet if I asked him who the judges on American Idol were, he could tell me. I, couldn't tell you who they are, but I can name all of the Supreme court judges. Maybe that's why I'm nuts.

I don't want to feel this way either! I didn't mean to insult you. I think we are all too stressed out by the criminal acts of the Bush crime family. I am sorry if I offended you. I have reached a point of shoot first, ask questions later and I seem to have lost the perspective that we would all much prefer to find an answer rather than fight.

Peace,
Bud
