May I suggest something like "rich liberal trial lawyer" or other discriptive adjective(s) that better describe THAT kind of lawyer. (whatever THAT is) |

Well, he is a lawyer so he does know how to spin things. However, I do think he is genuinely concerned for his wife. Is he going to use her illness to help his vote? Probably. But still I can not judge his actions, he has to live with it.

Look everyone...even though my wife's cancer has returned, Im willing to serve as your president because we feel it would be selfish and wrong to deprive the nation of my leadership. No...no, I've made my decision, please dont try to talk me out of it. Typical "slip-n-fall" lawyer "sympathy grab" tactics. The man has no shame.

Texasbelle, all I can say if you think you pay a lot of taxes now. let John Edwards or another democrat be elected president and you will see even higher taxes. Yes, congress is the one who votes on taxes, but a president can veto bills that raise taxes. Also, a president can ask congress to pass a bill to increase taxes. I do think he is using his wife's illness to get votes.

Please don't doubt that I am a Republican through and through. Hell would have to freeze over before I ever voted for a Democrat. I only think I can't judge their motives too harshly. It's really not my place. Personally I think Isaac is right that he really is not going to go far with this. He didn't the last time. Either Hillary or Obama Bin Laden will get the Democratic nomination.
We shudder at the thought of any Democrat being elected to the White House. We KNOW our taxes are going to get higher which is a very scary thought. |

As for the party system, BOTH of the main parties are self-serving and corrupt. They are focused only on enriching themselves at the taxpayer's expense. Voting along party lines only enables and perpetuates the corruption. Until this sad situation changes (and that day might come sooner than later), there can never really BE honest and effective leadership. So please, dont ever blindly follow a "party". You would be doing the country a disservice. Cast your vote for the best candidate for the job, whoever you think that to be.

You know that I love you Al right? But I am going to disagree a little here. I can't judge his motives 100%. Do I think he might be using a situation to further his motives? Yes. But what are his motives? You and I don't know except he wants to be President. I think we are going to have to hear from him a little more to really wade through his rhetoric and decide what we actually think those motives are.
Do you listen to Sean Hannity? I listened to him last week and heard him discussing the idea of a new party of conservatives, people willing to stop all this crap of "party lines" and people like us willing to have a conscience. His thoughts are just like yours which are just like mine. It is definitely what I would like to see happen. |

I'm not even a registered voter myself nor a supporter of any political party. I wonder how parties got started. I remember looking down the list of presidents back in high school and seeing the various parties listed by their names. There use to be the Whig party and Lincoln was elected under a party called the "Democratic Republicans" (not very original, are they?).
In short, what is the actual purpose of the political parties? |

Anime, this is your SB Board Mother...(aka Texasbelle) why are you not a registered voter? It is one of your most precious rights as an American. People have given their lives defending your right to exercise your vote and make a difference in this country. Now son, you need to take care of that business right away. This country needs for each and every one of us to stand up, exercise all of our rights as in voting, and try to make a difference to bring this country back to a good place. Do you really want Hillary as your next president?
As for what purpose the parties serve? At this point, I think the purpose is solely to argue with each other. I am sure Al has something to say to answer your question better than I. He is the old wise one. |
