Who do you think should or will win the Republican nomination for President in 2008?

Alliance
We have over a year and a half until elections...aren't we being a bit overzealous?

sithsaber408
In terms of likelyhood:

1. McCain
2. Gulianni
3. Gingrich (long shot, like Al Gore or Kerry getting it again)



I hope it's a McCain/Guilianni ticket.

That's because it's about a petty and weak man. This guy is all about winning and being president. He doesn't have one ounce of gumption. And everyone who thinks he deserves some measure of respect because he was a POW can just blow all that crap out their ass, just like he did when he supported the president on torture. He's Bush's lap dog

I have read a lot of positive stuff about Gulliani. However, with the announcment that he's considering a run for President he's starting to change several of his positions. Positions, I might add, he's said he would never change for anything. I suppose when he said "not for anything" he wasn't including the white house or the the religious right base.

Indeed. The "War on Terror" doesn't have to be a physical war on the level it is today.

The most effective way to fight these people is on the smaller scale, on the level they operate. The most promising reports I've read indicate that counter intelligence operations would have much more effect than attempting to police an entire population.

Save the pity because I watch the news quite often. Kieth Olberman's show, in fact. (gotta get the other sides viewpoint to make an intelligent decision, after all.) I check into current events every day. Not that I need to defend myself to you, but I want you to know that people who keep conservative views aren't just uneducated fools who get their news from a pulpit on a sunday.

No matter, you're a young 20 year-old idealist who believes that absolute freedom is the best thing a person can hope for. Freedom for anything, no matter if that means a sex-change for a 12 year old.

Wanna know something funny? I was a liberal at 20 too.

Here's a few:

No prison time for drug users. Rehab and treatment, no matter how many offenses. Community service maybe, but as long as they aren't distributing and are just using.... no jail time.

Abortions only in the case of rape or life of the mother.
Sorry.

Civil unions for gay couples, with a "commitment ceremony" performed if they choose.

This provides all tax breaks and benefits, while keeping traditional marriage as the institution it always has been.



Off the top of my head, that's a good start.

Give it 4 or 5 years, we'll talk. Actually, I respect many conservatives. I have plenty of friends that are conservative.

I just don't think that religious beliefs should guide public policy. If one reads the 14th Amendment, you can see that Gay Marriage is already Constitutionally protected, but it's the religious wingnuts like President Bush that keep it from becoming a reality.

a) I'm turning 19 in a week 13
b) I'm fairly certain I will hold these beliefs all my life, Ted Kennedy is a 'liberal' at 74, in any case.

Why do conservatives consider liberalism a "phase in life"?

Sorry.Seems a bit hypocritical in the case of rape to me. You consider all life sacred and that life begins at conception, yet this child isn't allowed to live? Why not?
Originally posted by sithsaber408

This provides all tax breaks and benefits, while keeping traditional marriage as the institution it always has been.So, ummm, whats the difference? Seems the exact same thing except called something different because they're gay. Are you protecting an institution (which by the way is completely broken to begin with) or a word?

It is true that many younger people look for idealistic causes and battles to fight...but that doesn't make every younger person naive or stupid and not everyone will grow out of it and also...it doesn't make conservative ideas better.

According to my oldest son, about 99% of his professors are all hippies, which agian, isn't very surprising.

Hippies/stereotypical liberals being accociated with the younger generation isn't a farfetched or inaccurate claim.

Umm.... yeah, I guess.

If it's the educated point of view to allow a 12 year old to have a sex change, and you agree with the ending of life to support more free sex.

And if it's the immature kids point of view to preserve decency, morals, and some standard of integrity for our country.

Then you'd be correct in your assement.

If they want it.

Yes. If it would give just one person more freedom I would not see a problem with brutally bludgeoning twenty thousand baby seals.

Decency and morals are subjective. You have yours. We have ours. We find it decent and moral to not discriminate against people, to let them live their life in peace, to not oppress them...you..don't.

No, I would not say that it does that. You could just have followed anyways. My theory is still to get in the pants of your wife.

No, it shows that your "kind" is capable of thinking, but has decided not to do so. Which I can assume is the only reason you make the statments and associations you do on a constant basis in regards to your "beliefs". (which is really just short hand for your willfully-ignorant social condemnation for anyone who isn't exactly like you, which you then turn around and use your religious preferences as a scapegoat to justify your condemnation)

hmmmm...

ADarksideJedi
I think that Sen. John McCain should win it.He is pretty conservtive and is prolife and for what I heard a good guy.He will not be as good as a president as Bush was but he would be my third choice beside Dick Chenly and Rice would a good choice too!jm

Strangelove
John McCain is a shameless slimeball who will go against any of his principles to gain support.

Bush and Cheney are complete idiots. Rice (along with Sec. Gates) are the only competent people in the administration.

ADarksideJedi
Rice is good.I do'nt see why you would not like Bush or Cleney being a Republican and all which I am guessing you are.Is it becaues of the oil spill or the war that you do not like Bush?And you have to admit he is a better president then Cliton ever was and ever will be!jm

Second, Clinton was a fantastic President. Bush cannot compare in the slightest in any way, shape, or form.

ADarksideJedi
Are you nuts?Clinton almost got kicked out because of his afair with Monda.He is nothing but a sick prevent man who has afairs and god knows what else.How do you find him to be better then bush?Also he did get us in a war also so yu can't say that is the reason.jm

Strangelove
The affair with Monica has no effect on his job as a President. You would do well to know that.

ADarksideJedi
It should had it was wrong for him to say he had no affair thus lieing to everyone about it and not saying he was lieing till he was caught.How is that making him a great President.Again you did not answear my question about how you think he was a great President.Do you not have any answear to my question?If not you are unsure why you think he is.Jm

Goddess Kali
His affair was not America's business..anyone would lie about that. George W Bush still hasn't caught Osama Bin Ladin, and he sacraficed thousands of Americans and Iraqis for this stupid war he proposed.

Dick Cheney shot another man in the face, and Dick Cheney even voted in the past to keep Nelson Mandella imprisoned instead of setting him free.....


Bill Clinton did wondors for our ecomony, where Bush just destroyed everything he worked for, by dragging America's ass in debt. Clinton pushed for better medicare coverage for the average American citizen, he made it possible for Gay men to serve in the military instead of being denied like before, he even promoted programs to help with the AIDS crisis....no Republican President ever even addressed the Aids Epidemic, hell Reagen fkn ignored it.....

In terms of Civil Rights, Clinton has any other President beat. George W Bush and Dick Cheney didn't do jack shit for civil rights....in fact, their policies are directly opposed to much civil rights progression.


Clinton is not perfect....he is a human being just like the rest of us. But no one can say that he is responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocent people like Bush and Cheney are....Clinton is not responsible for the death of a single child.....Bush and Cheney ARE.....


Clinton may have cheated on his wife, but Bush killed so many people, not only as President, but even back when he was Governor of Texas...do you have ANY IDEA how many people he sent to Death Row ???? And most of the people he sent to the Death Penalty happened to have been either Black of Hispanic...hmmmm....


And Clinton never shot anyone in the face....Cheney has...

ADarksideJedi
Ok answears had not been told me for about the million time but Clinton did start a war much like Bush and because of it some people did die.Sure it was not America's bussincess but does lieing make him look good?
I don't think so!He should had been kicked out now and then.He was also prolife and again prevented.I dont' see why no one argees with me about this but Republicians but whatever.In my eyes he did as much as Bush had ever done.Jm

Goddess Kali
So wait...u dont like Bush either ?


Secondly, what war did Clinton ever start ? What bad has Clinton ever done other than cheating on his wife ?


George Bush also lied....about the weapons of Mass Destruction...there were no weapons of mass destruction

ADarksideJedi
I did not say I did not like Bush can't say I argee with the war but I still stick to my point that he was a better president then Clinton ever was.What sounds worst an affair then lieing to america about it or wespons which I heard was not hiden nor he lied about?You choose!jm

Goddess Kali
The affair that Clinton had was not America's business...Jackie, is it anyone else's business who you have sex with or who you date ? Would you tell everyone all the details of your sex life just because they wanted to know?


The affair had nothing to do with the government or the people. Bush lied about worse things.....Bush lied to get this war promoted. There's even evidense that the CIA reported the possibility of the 9/11 attacks to happen before they did, and Bush did nothing to prevent it..he allowed it to happen.


He also lied about the weapons...there were never any. There was never any proof....Goerge Bush used 9/11 as an excuse to attack Sadam Hussein because of the fued that his father had with him long ago....and for the oil. Bush and Cheney made SO MUCH MONEY off of this war !!!! Do you realize that ? They are richer than ever because of this.....


The worst thing Clinton ever did was lie about his affair...that is NOTHING compared to what Bush and Cheney have done:


1) Cheney shot an innocent man in the face and got away with it

2) Bush executed hundreds of prisoners when he was Governor of Texas

3) Bush lied about the weapons of mass destruction

4) Bush had the oppurtunity to prevent 9/11 with information given to him by the CIA and he did nothing about it...he just let it happen

5) Bush sent hundreds of men and women to this war, and he tried to prevent the nation from knowing how many fatalities and dismemberments there were


6) Bush tried to mix religion into the public school systems, enforcing Christianity as the dominant religion, violating the Constitution


7) Bush made it illegal for any public institution to say the Pledge of Allegiance in Spanish


8) Dick Cheney voted to keep refugee Nelson Mandella in prison during Apartheid, even though he was already imprisoned for 30 years !!!!


9) Bush and Dick Cheney have destroyed many rain forests in South America

10) Hugo Chavez, president of Valenzuela, even claims that an American spy was sent to his country to assassinate him, hired by Bush

11) Bush and Cheney attack Green Peace and Peta, wildlife preserve organizations, accusing them of being terrorists, incarcerating members on suggestion.

12) Bush and Cheney not only pushed to have Gay Marriage illegal, but they also proposed for ALL schools in America to teach "abstinence only", meaning people can ONLY have sex after marriage...basically pushing that Gay people be FORCED to live the "Straight" lifestyle....that is unlawful and discriminatory.





Bush and Cheney are HORRIBLE PEOPLE...what has Clinton EVER DONE that is ANYWHERE AS BAD ????!??!?

ADarksideJedi
I just finish telling you and you just repected yourself!Any reason why?Jm

Goddess Kali
You did not tell me ANYTHING...and I did NOT repeat myself...what do you not understand ????


Bush and Cheney did horrible things.....all Clinton ever did was lie..did you even READ what I wrote ?

ADarksideJedi
Yes and it was the same thing you wrote before that I did answear.I have you on my ignore list for a reason.Anywho got to get some sleep so have a goodnight!jm

Goddess Kali
You clearly have no idea what you are talking about.....and you are on my Ignore as well

ADarksideJedi
Fine then we are both happy!You have no idea what you are talkilng about either.You may think you do but clearly you don't like to listen to others thoughts but your own.If you ask me that is abit imature and selfish don't you think?jm

Goddess Kali
No i dont thnk so...


I did listen to you, and I answered you question...I provided you with facts, and you ignored them....why do you ignore what I presnted you with ?


I did not repeat myself..the facts I listed were new...they were not mentioned before.


I am asking you how is Clinton worse ? Bush and Cheney have done worse things....you have not answered my question.

ADarksideJedi
I have and yet you put me on your ignore list.The only reason I did because you called me names and were abit nasty if you did not do it and wanted to debate in a calm relax and a mature way I would not had done it.Anyway I am through reading your posts.So say what you want only I will not be reading them.It would be a waste of my time and yours.Jm

Goddess Kali
When did I call you names ?

Strangelove
You have made no valid points why Bush is a better President than Clinton. Mostly because there are none. All you do is make baseless claims and then ridicule the ones put forth by others. Everything that GK said was true, and you have not said anything except pointless shit and "You are on my ignore list."

And this is about the Presidential election in 2008. Either make your own thread or start being on topic

ADarksideJedi
Whatever this is about nominiees and I was not the one that started to talk about the dems you were my friend!Anyway ok back on subject Rice would make a good president not only becaues she is a woman but she has good views!Jm

Strangelove
Well she's not running for President. Next!

ADarksideJedi
No but she should.I did say that Clenly should.So don't next me! roll eyes (sarcastic) laughing

Strangelove
Cheney has said that he is definitely not running.

Goddess Kali
Cheney ? Why would you vote for Cheney Jackie ???


I already told you all the horrible things he did....do you not care ?

ADarksideJedi
I would vote for him because again Clinton did alot worst things then Clenly ever did or would.(I know Lovestrange give me a second!)Anyway you put others on the poll so I told you who I wanted to vote.Allow me to say what you are about to say.
NEXT!JM

Goddess Kali
Jackie..babe...you dont know what you are talking about.... erm



Either give us examples, give us facts, or just stop arguing....do not make blank accusations without backing them up. I know you're smarter than how you are acting.

and may I add that Rice is a tool and ho no respect from anyone....a common feature of being around the Bush administration too long.

ADarksideJedi
The Republicans not letting her ran for president would be racist and sexist.The same for the dems not likeing her for what ever reason.She would be the first woman President for the Republican side and prolife.Nothing could be better!jm

I do like her far better than Bush and Cheney...she is less evil.

She doesn't want to.

Alliance
She would not come close to winning.

Strangelove
I don't think so, no.

ADarksideJedi
Well even if she does not want to she still would be a good President maybe next time around!Night everyone.jm

Your failed attemp at American history is laughable. As is your outcome. Several women have run for president. I guess it's all a matter of moderator interaction and historical relevance that keeps you here.

Alliance
Oh, but I so wanted Carol Mosley Braun.

btw, Why are all the black candidates from Illinois?

...oh yeah...we rock cool

(Sharpton doesn't count, because I have no idea where he is from)

ADarksideJedi
What keeps you here?All insults and put downs keep you here why I have no idea.I guess you are pure lucky!Anywho I have to look up more stuff on Mccain still not sure now if I want him for the Republicans or not.JM

Strangelove
a debate between all 8 (a 9th, Jim Gilmore, announced his candidacy on April 26th, so it's unlikely that he will participate) candidates is set for Thursday, 8 pm EST on MSNBC

Alliance
Keys is from MA. He simply RAN in IL, after calling Hillary a carpetbagger for running in NY after being from AK. THAT led to some interesting responses from him....

I believe Jackson did a lot of work in Chicago....Wikipedia confirms.

Romney is by far the most solid candidate.

Originally posted by Alliance
Romney is by far the most solid candidate. Not really. He used to be pro-gay rights and pro-choice, but now he's completely changed his mind. He used to vote in Democratic primaries (paraphrasing) "for the weakest candidate that a Republican could defeat." Dishonesty, anyone? He claimed to be a "lifelong" hunter, even though he's only been hunting twice in his life and doesn't even own a license. He's a shameless panderer.

Plus there's the fact that a recent poll showed that 66% of Americans say they aren't ready for a Mormon President.

Republicans may overlook these things, but he'd be shredded in the general election by Democrats and the media (if they both grow a spine) if they nominated him. In fact, I hope he does win the nomination.

The only solid chance they have is Fred Thompson, if he decides to run.

Alliance
I really think Romney is more complex. I really think that McCain and Guliani will collapse. Romney is a good politician, despite his apparent flip flops.

Romney FTW.

Yup.

Mr. Law and Order. stick out tongue

That's who I'm honestly hoping for right about now.

If not, I don't really care who gets it.

McCain/Guilianni= Fake conservatives.

Might as well let Obama have it.

At least he's honest.

Alliance
Nah, you underestimate Romney...he's a very skilled politician. After Bush, Republicans might have to live with moderates for a while If the Republican party has become the Conservative (as in only) party, it is surely doomed.

I think it is safe to say Thompson will not get it.

And I'm glad you support Obama smile
