You could use the same argument as fleabaggers used on McCain, Powell is too old. Powell is just one year younger, but he isn't senile and isn't an angry old man. Pretty sure Obama is going to be a one term dodo if they can come up with anything 1/2 baked. I would welcome a Republican presidential candidate who would be a rational, viable choice, which would be helpful for a healthy, honest, debate about the important issues facing us. I don't see one around that has any chance of getting the nomination. It think it's more likely that it'll be someone who is either extreme and ignorant or extreme with a lot of baggage. Hey, go for it if he wants. I would vote for Powell, he is a republican military, sure to kick some ass. Powell is an intelligent former statesman and general. He's about as anti-war as you can get. I doubt he would be interested at this point, given his age and the baggage. As far as I am concerned "baggage" is really experience. That is particularly true in this case. I would really prefer someone who wasn't from the Bush/Clinton/Bush legacy. I am just not sure who it would be, I know I will be reminded I can't vote but here goes... ANYBODY but Obama. We got the bottom of the pond with that one. If you seriously believe this country would be better off with Senile McCain and Brainless Palin at the helm, you are even dumber than I thought. The thought of having the imbecile Palin a heartbeat away from the presidency should have been enough for any responsible adult to vote for Obama and Biden. Michele Bachmann wants to be the GOP candidate in 2012. She has a reasonably good chance of winning the first Republican caucus, the one held in Iowa, where the Republican voters literally are dumber than a post. Bachmann, of course, panders to extremist christians and to the teabaggers, the mindless voters who control the hierarchy of the GOP these days. Nothing would please me more than to see that fruitcake succeed in the GOP. ************* It truly is sad and a bit frightening to see how the US has declined over the past dozen years or so. Yep, just when 2006 congress started messing with the money system in print/create of new mney. By 2007 government was having trouble borrowing and unemployment was on the rise. In 208 it came to a head. So what does congress do? More of the same as Obama big debt-spender can't control spending. Congress should just say today we balance the budget. No longer can government spend what it does not have in revenue. Civil service goes home on layoff if money runs out. Cut the waste fast. Cancel money for nothing, tell Freddie and Fannie they are bankrupt and people have to get and qualify for mortgages at real banks. But it will not happen. Debt is like a heroin addiction, it usually ends the same way too. |

So is that an excuse or a reason? |

Was that his first wife or his third? Or, like all the experience pandering to the crazy bat**** people? Or, the stop funding the gov't crowd that has no governance experience? Actually, on of the few politicians I respected the most was NTO a lawyr, was NOT a professional politician, was NOT a civil servant and never worked in government before being elected. Worked for over 10 years as a commoner too. Honest. And he cleaned house. Walked out of some elections with 80% support too. Some of the best politicians are NOT professional politicians. Most who contributed to the constitution of the United States were not politicians by trade. And that "We the people..." document, it is a brilliant piece of work. No corrupt politician could ever write that. Yes, I have been to DC, including he Lincoln memorial. Lots of good reading on the walls in there. Trouble is DC is now loaded with corruption. |

And you? Whole life in backwater USA? |

Beautiful, multi-cultural, terrific beaches, pretty mountains, fabulous local restaurants, et cetera. |

From what I hear of Hawaii, I would agree. But might get there in the next year or two. Say in 2 years if they still offer the 20 island cruise -- goes to more than Hawaii. 34 days on a cruise ship sounds interesting. But this year is out as we are looking for a retirement community in Panama or Costa Rica. Hope to have something in the next year. |
