President Bush did not invent war. There was WWI, WWII, Vietnam, the Gulf, plenty of skirmishes here, there and everywhere. Throughout the world there are plenty of fights, killing by one idiot who does not like another idiot. You name it, there is never a shortage of cruelty.

Politics never interested me and it irritated me when I saw people glued to the TV watching the news. That all changed when I got on the Internet and read and watched the horrors going on in Bosnia. I saw a long line of people forced out of their homes and walking along those mountains with barely enough to keep them warm in that freezing weather.

In Africa there is always something going on somewhere with machete-wielding people ready to chop up people.

The entire world wants the USA to help them out when they get themselves in trouble because they are weak and powerless. When it comes time for them to open their filthy traps to criticize America, they get their neighbors all brainwashed and take pride in pelting the US, while their brothers and sisters hide inside jet engines or wherever they can crawl inside to come to this country.

I arrived here in 1964, went to school without knowing a word of English. I learned English the hard way and I found it a humiliatingly horrible experience. When I see how foreigners are coddled nowadays, I find it sickening. Somehow, these days people seem to forget that when they go somewhere, they are guests and as guests they are to do what is expected of them without complaining and making waves. Fortunately I had already learned to respect others, especially those in charge of whatever situation they were responsible for. I am very glad I learned manners and respect before coming here where everyone lands to get away from what they did not like, just so they can proceed to force their way of life on others.

Even though it was not a Communist country, one did not dare say anything against the government. Even in a goup of acquaintances, one was cautious to not say anything derogatory.

The US should snap out of this baloney and put some strict code on conduct for anyone entering this country to follow to the letter. Whatever their old life was, should be discarded; if they object, they ought to be given a swift kick out the door.

He’s just a cheerleader.

Actually, they’re just playing US.

He makes up his own rules and everyone else, be damned. I’d love to know what he promised Tony Blair, to go along with this war.

Bush teared up when our Country was invaded and so should he have. He has teared up at talking about the lose of human lives in Iraq, so should he. Bush is the quarterback, we blame him not the other team players, are we ever wrong. Takes many to be a team.

Edwards is a jerk whose wife is always defending him. He can deal with the corporate section but that only shows he knows how to play dirty so long as his pockets will be lined in the end.

Obama is a lightweight who will say whatever makes him look tough, even something as stupid as bombing Pakistan. I am sure that presidents have a myriad of advisers well versed in every aspect, but he needs to take a few years off to acquire more knowledge, put on at least 10 pounds and stop cutting his hair so short.

Thompson behaves as though the presidency is just an afterthought.

Juliani would be fine if it weren’t for having a mistress while married. His mistress turned wife ought to be ashamed of herself. He needs to pay a price for that. They both do.

McCanne (sp?) is Ok. He is knowledgeable and seasoned.

Mitt Romney is the right one.

Forget the others, whomever they may be.

For heaven’s sake. If Hillary cries, she’s considered weak, but if she doesn’t cry, she’s considered cold. I wouldn’t want anyone who didn’t have emotions and feelings. That’s what makes them human, for heaven’s sake.

Get real everyone!

And yet, I don’t have high hopes that either Obama or Hilary Clinton can win the Presidency.

I’m with Freida..how does that happen that we normally agree and I understand her viewpoints?

And Clipper your first paragraph was right on!

Now I know why I stray away from political banter.
