WHO's hat is in the ring?

Anything less just won't do.

Ah, he looks a respectable figure if not a little dated. I prefer the photo of him in his dear skin hunting gear and rifle.

Ollie North for President!

Barring that, I like the Avon Lady's pick.

As far as Obama is concerned I really don't care if he's a Muslim, Mormon or a Jew, but he simply isn't qualified to lead a Junior College debating team let alone a nation. That's it and that's that.

I'd vote for Powell if he would run. A president and commander in cheif, i feel should have a good background in the military. Not a draft dodger, and not a fortunate son hiding from the draft in the air reserves. What's more he isnt a necon warhawk, and gives me the impression he would behave more wisely then the current crackpot.

The fact that he wont run tells me he's the right man for the job, and knows better then to jump into the crock of schitt that the oval office will be when Jr hands off his mess to the next president.

I agree, I'd vote for Powell if he would run too. The 1st and Primary job of the President of the United States is to protect this Country. Everything else comes second. Something the Clintons had no clue about. Both Oliver North and Colen Powell know this and would now how to do this, And still maintain the piece because they both know both sides of combat and would do what ever it take to prevent combat but would never back down when it came time to step up to bat.

I did not care for Hilary when she was playing Ms President before and I'm sure I'll like her less if it's for real.

Something more to think about. This should clear things up: http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/muslim.asp

Care to comment?

Edit: I have removed my quote above of geetrue's text/post as per his request via PM today and in light of his retraction of an earlier post concerning United States Senator Barack Obama.

I love Snopes.

But without the OP's comments ... Lets just take the truth ... He is from a black muslim background ... He was born in Hawaii ... but grew up in Indonesian ... His mother divorced one muslim and married another muslim ... So far so good with the truth, right.

Growing up doesnt happen between the ages of 6 and 10, he didnt grow up in Indonesia. So far so good with the exaggeration, then?

What if Truman, Ike, kenendy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Clinton or Bush had the same background and then said they were born again Christians? Would they then become eligible in the sight of all men to run for President of the United States with any hope of obtaining that office?.

Why should a candidate's religion make a difference? And surely the point of being a "born-again" Christian is that a fundamental change ocurred?

Right.....

And Dr John Reid, the British Home Secretary is a pinko commie who is plotting a Communist takeover of power here in Britain. I know this because I attained the information from a source which regrettably I cannot reveal to the public as I don't have permission. But all you need to know is that in his youth at university he was a member of the British Communist Party. Give me a break.

Plus I can't be prejudice ... I love Secretary of State Ms Rice

I know you didnt meant it to be, but thats the funniest thing I've read all day....

I'm fairly certain, having undertaken much study into Theodore Roosevelt, that he wouldn't be saying bully to Mr. Bolton. Probably something much less positive. Bolton was IMHO a total loser that couldn't even get confirmed by a REPUBLICAN senate for the UN job, and then after Bush subverted the legislature with a recess appointment was almost universally despised by his colleagues at the UN.

From what i remember about Oliver North was that he was turned into a Scapegoat and he only got off those charges because He brought the entire Government blunder to the Public's attention and they could not hide the truth.

Frame ups are the way of our Government/Military to prevent those that are truely guilty from being cought. That's why Oliver North was let go on a Technicality. He did what he was told and he got cought and then turned into a Scapegoat to cover up the truth. He agreed to keep his mouth closed and they let him go in a way that did not say "Oops, we messed up".

[Schatten]

Col. North was convicted but what a lot of people don't get is when he took the Fifth Amendment it wasn't to protect himself, it was to protect national security. For some that may not be a very important distinction but to me it is. There's no way he could actually get elected, but for my money he'd be exactly the sort of President we need right now, and that's not something I can say about any of the people who've already said they were going to run in '08 be they Democrat or Republican.

The only thing I've seen Obama do, is be Obama. Which is appearently enough if the media loves ya...

The way the world is right now it's important that we have someone as President who isn't just going to be there, but actually will be prepared to make some very tough decisions that some people, or a lot of people even, won't like. We're in the Age of Terror here and can't simply have another Poll Watcher President who's afraid of offending anyone, even the people that want to do us harm.
