Hey, go for it if he wants. I would vote for Powell, he is a

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

As far as I am concerned "baggage" is really experience. That is

ANYBODY but Obama. We got the bottom of the pond with that one.

But but, pondscum floats.

Sure was a dirty pond whee Obama came from.


Really? I've been to Hawaii twice, and I found it to be a remarkable
place. How many times have you been there?

Not once. I prefer Costa Rica, Panama, Mexico. Have lived in 4 other
countries too. Been to Europe. Probably been to at least 40 states on a
visit or pass through. And you? Whole life in backwater USA?


No, I've been around and to more countries and continents than you've
mentioned. I do like Hawaii a lot, though. Beautiful, multi-cultural,
terrific beaches, pretty mountains, fabulous local restaurants, et cetera.

Wife has been to Hawaii. See seems to prefer the spanish touch. 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.

If you need a few bucks to leave sooner, just let us know.

Except there is no "we" that includes you.

You hate him because he's black, and he's better educated and more
successful than you.

So is that an excuse or a reason?

It's your excuse or reason.

Really? Like Newt's experience dumping his wife while she was getting
chemo? Was that his first wife or his third?

Similar to Edwards huh? Politicians are generally scum.

Yes, similar to Edwards in moral failing. No, not similar to Edwards
as a ardent supporter of family values, whatever that means.


Or, like all the experience pandering to the crazy bat**** people?

Or, the stop funding the gov't crowd that has no governance
experience?

I said I am not sure who it would be. The pool of candidates is really
pretty shallow and I don't blame them. The job of president really
sucks. It will only get worse as the economic problems we have been
ignoring for the last 50 years start exploding in our face.

The 2012-2016 president will have to tell 83 million boomers they are
not going to get everything they were promised. That may get ugly.

Nobody ever gets "everything" they're promised. It's the nature of
democracy and compromise to achieve the best for everyone.

Yep, having faith in government is a big letdown. I never had such
faith. My CPP/SS is pocket change, if I get it good deal and extra
cruise each year.

It will get ugly, especially here in Canada. Canada is not a cheap
place to live. Yet so many think they can live on $1000/mo. on CPP
(Canada's version of SS).

Are they in for a rude awaking.

But in all fairness, when you look at what they paid into it, the people
who paid for 25 years plus are getting hosed big.

You want ALL pensions in your name, in your account, in your control and
that is final. Anything else is bullsh!t.

Looks like Canada gets to vote, government just went down on a
non-confidence motion. Over paid lard fools want an election. Our next
government will break the bad news....WE ARE BROKE and BANKRUPT.

So, basically you're a leech on society.

Why pay any attention to that particular Loogy, especially one that
lives near Hot-lanta? Hawaii has one of lowest crime rates of all U.S.
states, by the way, according to the FBI's statistical record.

In other words, the Loogy is lying through his teeth. As usual.

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.

Even sadder is you sitting at a computer, nipping at Harry's heels,
while your yard is a pigsty.
