Of course he isn't a superstar candidate who... -Was a former first lady to the the first two-term Democratic president since FDR. -A youthful, fresh, extremely charismatic junior senator -Former vice presidential nominee And he doesn't have... -Millions upon millions of dollars raised -Oprah's support -A former president backing them -And most of all, intense coverage by the media, and adequate talking time during debates. This election would be a hell of a lot different if the media wasn't doing this for ratings. Because let's face it, a woman and a black man running for president is more interesting than some capable, straight-talking, white senator from the tiny state of Delaware. -- I mean, that doesn't make good television, people. Joe Biden is the most qualified person to lead this country.

Of course he isn't a superstar candidate who...
-Was a former first lady to the the first two-term Democratic president since FDR.
-A youthful, fresh, extremely charismatic junior senator
-Former vice presidential nominee

And he doesn't have...
-Millions upon millions of dollars raised
-Oprah's support
-A former president backing them
-And most of all, intense coverage by the media, and adequate talking time during debates.

This election would be a hell of a lot different if the media wasn't doing this for ratings. Because let's face it, a woman and a black man running for president is more interesting than some capable, straight-talking, white senator from the tiny state of Delaware. - I mean, that doesn't make good television, people.

And most of them negative. There are a lot of people out there who hate Hillary. You can say this is right or wrong or whatever, but these are folks who are not going to change their mind, and feel very strongly so they are quite likely to vote. Accoridng to polls about 50% of the country falls into the "Hillary Hater" category ("who would you NEVER vote for President of the United States?") So we are not talking about some fringe "Rush is Right" minority of people here. We are talking Republicans, Democrats, Independents, you name it. The folks who dislike Hillary cross party lines. Hillary can unite America - in the hatred of her! (And who says we don't have bi-partisanship in this country?) If Hillay wins the nomination, she will have to get every single non-Hillary hater to vote for her, in order to win. That means no fence-sitters or people who feel neutral about her but prefer another candidate. She has to get ALL THE VOTES of the non-Hillary haters in order to win. Or, get Bllomberg to run to split the Hillary-hater vote. Frankly, I think this latter scenario is how it is going to play out, and Bloomberg is a willing participant in this farce. FWIW.

Hillary Clinton wins democratic nomination for president. She has chosen Nancy Pelosi as her running mate, and states that they will change the country. Now think of this. Terrorists have overrun the US because Clinton did not heed warnings from the CIA & FBI. She blames this on past President Bush for not letting her know what she was getting into as president. China is now getting ready to move in and take over the US economy because the time is right. What a scenario? It's possible that this could happen if this ignorant woman is nominated. She would bring this country down quicker than you could bat an eye. With all the donations she has received from China, they would want paybacks, and just like her husband, she would give it to them. He gave them the missle technology; what would she give him? Something to think about. They would probably stay in the Lincoln bedroom for a week or two while figuring out what to give them. Newsmax is selling Hillary cards. If you want to find out a lot about her, buy them. Or, you could read a couple of truthful books about the Clinton's. (Unrestricted Access by Gary Aldrich or Target by Kathleen Willey) Excellent reads. Or you might want to read Unlimited Warfare by two Chines Colonels, and what Clinton did that was traitorous. No, we don't need her in office. The people in New York need to pull her out of the Senate. She is not to be trusted. Her and Bill has planned this for a long time, and the good people of the US needs to make sure she does not win the presidency. I hope CNN will print this. Think of this.

I love it when I hear people running for office talk about the un protected border between Canada and the USA, the question for me is as Canadians should we be the ones concerned about the border. I find it interesting that when Canada said no to Iraq because we all knew that the problem was not their, we became the bad guys to the American Politician. I wonder how many everyday Americans wish that maybe Bush would have listened to us, instead of saying that Britian was now the USA best friend. Afganistan, different story-Canada has its troops fighting combat missions with the USA and others and this is an action warrented. I do notice that everytime a Canadian dies in that mission, your news agency CNN says a coalition force member died(really it should say a Canadian Soldier) we are after all the ones fighting in the most dangerious region. I would expect our news to report that an American Soldier has passed, not a coalition force. I pride myself knowing that the majority of Canadians know the differance between Iran and Iraq, know what elections are happening in countries around the world and the fact that starting in grade 3 you begin to learn this information about the world. I find it disheartening when I hear the people running for your highest office make blunders about other countries, considering everyone around the world hears about it. I also find it disheartening that you have over 310 000 000 people in your country and it takes less than .ooo5 percent of them to give the second best country in the world a black eye. Canada takes a lot of crap from American Big Business and Lobby Groups, Canada takes a lot of crap from the Politicians when something goes wrong in the USA and they start saying it is Canadas fault. Every time proven wrong, however the American people are never told. Canadas fault is that we do not stand in the lime light and say look at all this good we did, however I also believe that that is what makes us Canada.

First of all, Joe Biden is intelligent, knowledgeable, experienced, and respected by members from both sides of the aisle. There is not another person running, from any party, that can pull off a bi-partisan decision or resolution like he can. Secondly, Joe Biden has both the domestic AND the foreign policy experience we MUST have in this global world. When some of you speak as if Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, etc. don’t matter, I know you are not looking at the big picture. Now more than ever, we must come to the realization that the world does not start and stop at the East and West coasts! And lastly, there is no way Joe Biden should be vice president. Why in the world would anyone want to lose his experience and ability in working for us? He has much more to offer than being an ambassador-for-the-president. He has the fierceness, ability, wisdom, and experience we need for America. After reading through all these notes, I'm a bit disgusted with the rhetoric from most.

Had the judges ruled his election was invalid, it would have meant he had to step down as President, creating a vacuum, so he pre-empted them with the emergency rule stroke. With Bhutto originally set to participate in the parliamentary election for the PRIME MINISTERSHIP, (at the request of Condi Rice) and was likely to win hands down, Musharraf was not comfortable with that outcome. After all, it was he who in 1999 ran Bhutto out of office on corruption charges that also landed her husband (Minister of Investments) in jail while she fled into self-imposed exile in Dubai and London. Hillary did make a political gaffe that could come back to haunt her since she has been claiming she has all the experience. She may do well domestically, like Bill, but I think she is going to sink on the foreign affairs front. Bill didn't do well there either. Okay, Biden is right!

Obama stands for change and Edwards stands for helping the lower and middle classes. The only point HRC seems to make is she should be President because she is entitled to the position. She feels entitled to the Presidency by the fact that she lived in the White House and wants to move back into the mansion and have the privileges that come with living there once again for eight more years. Needless to say the public and electorate could care less about indulging her standard of housing and ego needs. The problem HRC has is her campaign stands for nothing.

Who cares anyway? Even my one straight friend who fixes my apartment roof likes her because she's soooooo smart and cares about children. She only wants the best for the world and who are we to question her? Huh?? My second choice is John Edwards BECAUSE he's SOOOOOO Cute. What a cutie President he would make. Cute!!!! All the Republicans are icky. They hate gays because we care about America and they hate everything except money and bombs. They even hate the earth because they want global warming. Joe Biden is cute, but take advice and lose the fake hairpiece. Richardson is spooky also. Dennis looks like an elf and I would vote for him if I knew what he was going to do as President. Iraq is a mess and they need to drop me and a few thousand of my gay friend there to clean and decorate it a little. Too much mauve and sandy stuff around. Needs some color. Hillary know this and she should be President. Period. End of story,Lori. Got it, Rocket? Aren't you glad that my vote cancels your vote??? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Right on Senator Biden good for you to show forthrightness by informing the public about this necessary and weighty issue!
