I'ma leader, vote me Disclaimer: Absence of clear leadership is the best time to advance one's own selfish agenda. Example: Obama & Clinton. Clinton is inellectable exactly bcz of her "strength". She has been in the oval office already as co-Presidant. Anyone who dont agree w/this refer to marriage conventions & laws. In American soceity Husband & Wife share equal everything. So she has already been a president (not directly but by default) & therefore is inelectable due to presidential term limitations. Anyone objecting to this, let them rewrite how marriage works in this country, & I will w/draw me objection. Obama is a shameless opportunist, who dont got a clue (trust me he don't). For both'o them wut matters more is another trophy on their walls (trust me I know this too). So ye McCaino will win by default, bcz even though individuals are infinetly gulliable (read that in the for of an Eistanian quote that RK has) individually, when u combine them into masses, wut comes out is pure rationality. Yep social physics dont make much sense, but it works right every time all of the time.

Tosk (5/20/2008) The president only has true power only when he is backed by the people. The leaders are almost always backed by the people, and can overcome congress and the media ... Ronald Reagun was the last to do it with leadership ... before him JFK had it ... he just did not live long enough to get any of his programs put into effect. I do not see a leader in American politics at the present time ... not even Paul ... if they could get together I believe McCain-Paul would be a solid ticket. All else being equal the 8% Paul supporters would likely make the differance. Somewhat similar to the Reagun democrats or Hubert Humphrey with LBJ. I fear that McCain will fold to party pressure and let them choose ... a sure sign of lack of leadership. QFE, but lets hope your fears prove ungrounded.

I don't know that McCain won't be a leader. He's not particularly charismatic but he's not one who folds under the pressure... at least visibly. I do agree that I'm not super impressed with any of the candidates' leadership qualities.

It's a liberal Republican v. two Socialists. Is McCain a liberal though? So You want to be a McCain Democrat?

-M- (5/20/2008) Dont read propaganda. Live ur life as best as u can understand how to live it. Vote Republican. U'll do o'rite Eh, I'd rather not vote anymore than vote Republican or Democrat. We need to throw out political parties altogether. They are rubbish.

LC, do you just sit around clicking refresh all day long? McCain. We can at least agree that he is 'left' for a Republican, isn't he? Those other 2 guys are fairly socialist for liberal Democrats.
