he didn't announce his candidacy. He just said he's ready for the Bears to go all the way, baby!

1. Loved his imitation of the MNF theme.
The man is a media juggernaut.

3. First off
Our "media" sucks. Reason one for I smell a Manchurian.

Reason two for I smell a Manchurian. A YES vote on patiot act renewal. Yes to patriot act renewal is a yes to the NEXT IRAQ and the one after that.

4. that counts him out for me then, just that one Yes is unforgivable.
I don't care how intelligent or suave or orator-like he is, that one syllable is enough for me to decide.

5. Appreciate your comments, but seriously, relax.
I'm not supporting anyone for Prez yet, and that includes Obama. I'm just watchin' some football here.

6. Senator Boxer and Senator Kennedy voted for the patriot act renewal.
Do you honestly think they support the NEXT IRAQ and the one after that?

8. That's because they are a bunch of damn DINOS!!!!!
Just kidding. The day I decide not to vote for someone because I am pissed off by one of their votes, is the day I have no one to vote for.

10. There is huge money in war
There is also a huge disconnect between politicians and the common man. Most of this is due to deliberate "framing" of issues by our out of control 2 globocorp owned MSM. There is no more US interest, it is the interests of global corporations and unfortunately you and I are footing the bill. They are in serious trouble. "Free" trade has taken off in a huge way and CEOs have pocketed the difference. It is US technological superiority that is at stake and it's will go away in a single generation without war research, homeboy security research, BARDA(that you really should look up) research. In the end does the future look like a bad sci-fi movie?
I like Obama on a number of issues, but this patriot thing....hmmm.

11. This doesn't answer the question in my post.
Boxer and Kennedy made the same vote as Obama.

Do you think they support another war?

13. Knowingly perhaps not
Both however are under the pressure of not appearing "weak on terra" and issues of "national" "security".
Both are right wing talking points and high pressure memes as conceived by the general populace.
I will however redirect you to
www.spp.gov which is a plan fully endorsed by the Bush administration as a merger of Canada, Mexico and the US into a European style North American Union. That would make all talk about "National" anything moot.
Things are happening at rates far exceeding any response by even noble thinking people. Ted and Barbara have just been "out of the loop" so to speak.

14. I'm going
to knock it off for now. I like his stance on a number of other issues so he would be infinitely better at leading a third world country in two years time. A better solution might be to invite ex-Russian irradiated spies to the whitehouse.

12. The fact that he is a Bears fan
goes a long way toward him getting my support. But you know, that's probably as good a reason as any of the others I've heard about why people want him to run.
