I would rather eat rocks than sit at the same table with Giuliani!!!
Hillary on the other hand, is welcome to bring along Bill, Chelsea and her mom. There's always plenty of food. LOL!!!
I'll take Ron Paul at my Thanksgiving dinner.
Which candidate to have over for Thanksgiving? Sure doesn't sound like an endorsement of a candidate's ability to be a good President... more like a drinking buddy to watch football with...
I'd LOVE to have HILLARY over for Thanksgiving Dinner! My dishwasher is broken.
I would have Hillary at my thanksgiving day table anytime,she is so down to earth..she would talk about anything...she would not forget setting at my thanksgiving table either ,with that incredible memory of her's she is warm caring person.The real Hillary,the real politician with expierence and the one who really would help Our Country...Oboma would bore me to,hes braging about foreign policy expierence because he was 10 years old living in Indonesia,so his judgement is he's more expierence on that issue give me a break wern't you out riding your bicycle,at 10...thats is what he does his falter's his mind to the right then left fields,so it brings him no substance...crazy eractic remarks out of his mouth.
Hillary is not a nice person, she is mean...

May be I would have Hillary with stuffings of lies lies lies. It will be great I think. For Obama, I would ask him to send Oprah over with some asbestos for Hillary. She is very arrogant with the media backing!
Excuse me! Who took that poll? CNN, of course, you're not even a ragg, your performance has dipped to a new low.
One thing is for sure, there are only a couple of people who posted here who I would even consider visiting. What a rude unfriendly people, these Americans.
I would prefer the Thanksgiving Dinner Guest our troops in Iraq are celebrating with. John McCain, the candidate who graduated from a school with integrity as its top priority not someone who graqduated from a school where sticking a knife in the American Peoples' back is their priority like these Liberal Colleges preach.
Why would I want Hillary for Thanksgiving dinner. I already have one turkey, I don't need another.
"Candidates Condemn Saudi Rape verdict"

Strangely, this list of candidates won't include Barack Hussein Osama.
Osama won't condemn anything Saudi. Go figure.
Obama is NOT welcomed at my house because all my folks will think I invited a super boring "actor" for dinner. Fake, dishonest, using people.
Professor, when you speak, please complete the sentence and come to the point. Don't play the game. Don't use something else to move people's attention from your last poor debate performance. Don't use something else to move people's attention from your Meet the Press records & positions exposure. You will not get our votes here.
I rather have Mr. Obama since I would know my kids wouldn't be looking at a liar!
if i had Hillary, i would have to hide the silverware.
This coming election is way too serious for this stupid survery/poll?...whatever. Americans should stop paying attention to this nonsense and get their heads on straight. Do not be distracted by this stupid...would never materialize anyway...garbage. Personally, and I am a democrat, I would rather be with my family then either one of these politicans...you see, my family is totally honest regarding everything actually...whereas politicans of whatever affiliation, in my opinion, lack the capacity for honesty. Well, with that said, I urge all Americans to take this coming election very seriously and do not get drawn into the spin...we, the people (written about in the constitution, etc.) have a big decision to make. Let's hope, for all our sakes, that we are capable of making the right decision...another Bush like President would, in my opinion do this country in once and for all!
This Thanksgiving, I am thankful for OBAMA and the hope he brings American politics.
OBAMA 08!!!
