I like what you have to say...one point of disagreement. I do believe Perry IS ready for prime time. I think back to the Democratic debates, I watched every one of them, I think Hillary kicked Obama's ass every time...and he still took the nominated. I live in Texas and Perry has done good for our state in a lot of ways. One point of contention, not tough enough on illegals. It's kinda a double edged sword in the border states. I hear time and time again small business owners, particularly in construction, say that illegals are much more dependable the whites for showing up for work and working their asses off. A sad commentary in these times.
Birther....I missed that. You just made me grimace! NOT a smart move.
I must also concur, Herman would make a great VP. Compared to Biden my cat would make a great VP.
I don't agree regarding Perry. His had plenty of money in his coffers and has come out with a couple of great ads. Against Romney and Obama. He recently added some seasoned political staffers to his campaign. A good move and is setting up feet on the ground in Iowa.
I predict Herman will begin dropping in the polls. He has made a coupe of gaffes that he will be remembered for. Bachmann is all but out of the running. We'll see.
Herman is indeed "the flavor of the month". I like Cain very much as a person. But Presidential, I don't see that in him. And he has less than a million dollars to play with...hard to run with the big boys without big money.
Personally, I don't think Paul has a hope in hell. He's down in the polls and has been all but ignored by the media. I have two major concerns with Paul, his stance on illegal drugs and security.
But stranger things have happened, Obama was elected.
Thank you for the compliment. ~)
I am interested in who people may consider a serious female candidate for the office of President. After the conduct of the media during the 2008 campaign in regards to first Clinton and then Palin...I believe, unfortunately, many still do not consider a female seriously as a leader.
I never drink to get drunk...it just so happens that on the rare occasion (like last Friday when I had 8 Screwdrivers and was giving my husband lap dances) I say to myself "what the hell" and then spend the next day holding my head and hugging the toilet bowl. Needless to say, it'll be a while before I do that again.
Depends on the context...like anything else...at this point, more of a compliment.
Nuts...or effing nuts...pardon the pun.

Depends on your definition of torture and under what circumstances.
Yes...regarding issues of national security. I have no qualms with those who have threatened a terrorist act or have committed/been an accomplice to an act of terrorism being "tortured".
I want one!!!! Every time Obama talks I hear Charlie Brown's teacher. Annoyingly grating.
Now that Herman Cain is entering the race I'm paying a lot more attention to him. I like him. But I love Allen West! He's great and I think he could do the job. I'm afraid however he hasn't got the experience just yet. Then again, that didn't stop the rise of Obama. And West has two things going for him we know Obama doesn't (actually a lot more than two!), you could never question his love and loyalty of and to his country.
Read this Hellno...Cain is a possibility.
I agree with everything you said. As for Sean, unfortunately he retired from doing films a couple of years ago. Broke my heart. He is the second sexiest man on the planet. After my husband of course. ~)
He has done a lot of great films. Two of my favorite: The Hunt for Red October and Finding Forrester.
And you've hit on some great examples. Yes, that "reset button" routine was comical. I bet Hillary was looking for a head to chop off after that one. I agree Hellno. Obama's lack of courage has been on display many times. But his dithering on giving support to the Iranian protesters was one of his most pitiful.
An opportunist. Understatement of the century. Indeed Obama played to the masses. Disenchanted Republicans, weary Independents and of course, he was a Liberal Democrats wet dream. He played not only to the country but to the world. For those of us who didn't fall for the flowery rhetoric and the promises of hope and change, who questioned his lack of experience and character, we stood shocked and stunned as he rode the tide of discontent all the way to the highest office in the land. Like a bad dream...and now we are all living the nightmare.
Nobody actually believes in freedom. So speaks people who have never been without a certain amount of freedom. While I can not dispute the role of the US is not always a pleasant one or that wise decisions are always made. I do hold out faith that fundamentally we adhere to certain values and ideals.
Agreed. Well stated. I think we could have done more for the people of Iran. We are seeing uprisings in the Middle East. Seems to be catching. I hope the end result will be a more stable region. Unfortunately a lot of blood must first be shed.
Hide my bias. About as well as you hide yours. Israel a terrorists nation...what a crock of bullshit. Palestinians reap what they sow. They are not interested in peace. They are suckled and raised to hate everything and everyone Jewish. While thousands of Arabs live and thrive in Israel. Palestine's worst enemy is themselves.
I am in total agreement with you! My husband needed to be retrained...lucky for him he catches on fast...LoL! I love the glue story! And I've been there, cold wet bottom in the middle of the night...didn't help any that I was slightly inebriated. ~)
A chance? Yes. While on some levels Trump makes me cringe. I find him a little crass. Then again, I cringe more at the thought of Sarah Palin getting the nomination. Right now I am not seeing a viable candidate to defeat Obama. And times a wasting. Tick Tock.
Yes Israel has a right to exist. And to do so peacefully. Questioning Israel’s very “right to exist” is a well-employed tool of Israel’s detractors to call into question the Jewish state’s legitimacy as part of an effort to undermine her.
At this point 56% of Americans are in favor of repealing Obamacare. You're right. The people don't want this and the Dems don't care. Perhaps if the Democrats had taken more care and consideration from the very beginning instead of ramming this albatross down the throats of Americans they would not now be in such a precarious position. Note, this is what happens when Democrats give the country the middle finger.
You are correct either way Hellno. The most glaring example of voting strictly along race lines. Obama garnered 95% of the black vote in 2008. Now try to tell me every vote cast for him by black voters was based solely on his proposed policies.
