Presidential Race Discussion (Romney NOOO!!!)

[drrty byl]

Don't you mean congress? They are doing that "stimulus package."

I'm confused -- wasn't the purpose of the economic stimulus package to devalue the dollar even further by inventing money and building up more debt?

Hmm, maybe it was actually an attempt to make congress more popular by appearing to "do something" about the "impending recession"..

Yah, that's exactly the point, let's spend more money and have it go overseas because Americans don't keep track of where the money goes.

Okay, I don't remember seeing Hillary cry. Her eyes watered up and her voice got shaky... but there weren't any tears. Bush has gotten watery-eyed in public [and yes, on tv] but people say "oh, what a good president, he cares about us!!". When a woman in a position of power does anything slightly emotional she is considered weak and unfit to do anything that you strong, macho, super men and masters of the universe do! How about [hypothetically] there were two candidates and one was a good, honest person who teared up and the other one was a psycho who didn't show emotion? You would choose the psycho? lolz! You need to read the what I bolded again outloud and seriously think dude.

BTW people can't control emotions COMPLETELY like you're saying. When the tears come to your eyes, then that's when they come. What did you expect her to do? Run off stage to hide the tears so she doesn't cry in public?

Don't accusse me of supporting bush he's weak and controlable too, just like clinton will be if she gets ellected.

About the psycho vs. the crybaby issue. I would probably say that they were both unfit to lead and not vote for either.

And about the whole people can't control there emotions thing, i disagree. I personally find it very easy to stay calm regardless of the situation( short of someone i presonaly know dieing). That may not be true for a lot of people and thats ok. But i think it should be true for a president who has to be put under constant preasure all the time. Like i said before a president has to be on a level above human.

Well here's my humble opinion about the current political race going on (I'm only going to comment on those I've been following):
Mitt Romney: Seemed like a nice guy, but unfortunately he didn't have the stuff
Huckabee: He's really really niave, and I don't think he has it to be a great President

Obama: He came out of left field, he doesn't have the experience, and the fact he said that he wouldn't nuke back if we were nuked scares me. Also he was using Oprah for his fundraisers, and that doesn't sit well for me either trying to win over women by using a powerful media figure.
Hillary: Out of all the logical choices, I have to favor her simply because she has a lot going for her. I don't agree with everything she says/thinks/does, and I honestly think she represents the generation of Parents that believe the US Government should raise their children.
Biden: This is the man I wanted for president, and I doubt any of you have paid attention to the man. He's gotten so much experience, and has wonderful foreign policies. However, he just doesn't have a big name like Clinton attached to him :/

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Actually, there's a name for people that don't show any emotion.
It's "psychopath".

I will be sure to inform him you do still care Pop :lol:

 

[DarthPika]

he just doesn't have a big name like Clinton attached to him :/

And thats the only reason she gets ANYWHERE. All she is doing is useing her husbends name.

It works like this.

People who liked Bill, hear the name and asume that his wife will also be a good president. (for the record Bill Clintion was a horible president, but heck SOMONE had to like him...)

i was thinking about using a quote that would adress my feelings about how a president should handle wars;
"one death is a tragedy, one million deaths is a statistic" then i realized that stalin said it a quickly got rid of that line.

1000th post yay

Level above human? Like an elf?

Then why didn't Kucinich get votes?

 

[toxictaipan]

Who's gonna vote for hillary?
not to be secsist or anything but I just don't think a female should rule...

I don't think any one should "rule". Except the "people" like me and you and every body. That way we all get what we want. :biggrin:


Why let one idiot "rule" when all the idiots could "rule"?
