Wow I actually got that right! I am proud of myself.

Didn't know that Clinton said this though, but would have never voted for her anyway.

I am for Kucinivich even if he is out of the race.

I am also for Ron Paul.

Both don't accept corporate money.

cheers and thank you sir. :smile:

Very amusing and probably true. That's why I'm hoping that Obama wins. Still, I prefer Clinton to any Republican.

No one ever votes for a Republican, they vote against Democrats. With a Republican, you never know what you're getting, but with a Democrat, you know exactly what you're getting. Rs are just the most organized non-Democrat party, voting for them is just a stalling tactic to slow down the Ds attepts to turn us into Holland.

Actually when I took the test I failed miserably, I couldn't imagine anyone but a devout communist making those kinds of statements and certainly not a member of the U.S. Government. Boy was I wrong. laugh

You will get the same thing from Obama, he has already stated his position. He has attacked the CEO of Exxon about his wages while accepting support and endorsements from George Clooney who made twice as much as the CEO of Exxon and also from Ophra who makes billions.

the differnce is

oprah and cloony are self employed

but the ceo of exxon works for the share holders

big differnce and with record profits for the oil companies

and the hurt there profit is putting to the country

he should complain about the ceo

ceo of exxon works for the share holders


He actually is hired by the directors and his pay and bonuses are arranged and set by the directors. The directors answer to the shareholders and investors. Ironically, the CEO usually has shares thus is on both sides of the directors..

But,I don't think we can take any more War, so that eliminates McCain in my opinion, And also we don't need more Communism, So, I am wanting the war stopped too and am going with OBAMA. It is just too bad that the people don't appreciate Ron Paul or Dennis Kuccinich. Ron Paul was my pick for Number 1 choice.:wink:

smo....... Yep, Ron Paul would make a good president. Isn't he the guy with the big ears and the teeny booper wife who is a head and a half taller than he?

Dennis Kuccinich would be another good choice particularly if we were attacked by aliens. After all Dennis has seen them, so he should be able to handle them if they invade our country.
