| most of the 2008 presidential candidates have profiles on myspace.com, so i was checking them out to see what their supposed intentions are and how they stand on some issues. many of them didn't even have info. on their stances, but i did find someone who seemed to be logical, realistic, and committed to what the actual laws of this country are. he's a republican, but i agree with almost everything he claims to believe in. he seems to be the most common sense-type and the least infotainment-type who has to use hype to dog on other candidates instead of simply talking about himself and what matters for the country. read what his stance is on issues here. he mentions things that are really important, like privacy issues (patriot act, national ID cards, etc.), that other candidates don't. i'd love for a woman to be president, simply for the symbolic victory it would represent, but if hilary is going to perpetuate the same crap of talk-to-appease-but-continue-corruption-and-militarization-of-the-country then it's not even worth it. obama looked pretty good, but then he started talking about injecting faith into politics and the country... and i said see ya -- separation of state and religion no matter what. john edwards also looks good for now, but i'd like to know more about where he stands on issues of privacy and civil rights for minorities and stuff. any of you guys have any info on the candidates? |

nerdalert | 05-03-07 12:21am im an obama fan, i agree seperation, but you know if he tried to do that it wouldnt get through the rest of all that checks and balances stuff, so if thats your only dislike, dont let that stop you from liking him |
cowboy67 | Re:, 05-03-07 2:49pm yeah, that's a good point. plus i'm hope he's stressing it merely to gain support from people who vote based on religious reasons more so than a true intent to put religion into politics.

nugenta3 | 05-03-07 10:00am i'm so disappointed with hillary. she has (had?) an opportunity to take a country on the verge of exploding and leading it in a new direction...a country which might have, with her leadership, caught up with the rest of the world in terms of modern thinking (which can't even be called progressive anymore in europe because it's so commonplace). the U.S. was doing so well up through the 60's and 70's with the civil rights movement and women's lib, then ground to a halt...maybe even regressed. we finally reach a point where it's actually possible to popularly elect a female president, and instead of taking this chance and standing out of the crowd, against the typical political bullshit, she's acting like a typical caucasian male politician. women across the country, liberal and conservative alike, would have come out in droves to support her, if maybe she had said something different or unique. but she sounds like all the rest, unwilling to take a strong stand on things that she knows are right, in order to stay mainstream and not sound too radical. fuck that. |
moana | Re:, 05-05-07 4:30pm you hit it squarely. i was so excited at the prospect that the two major candidates were minorities! then they started talking and they were trying SO HARD to NOT be minorities...
