She is the one candidate who the people say to themselves, "She's like us."<BR/><BR/>Of course, that does not apply to every one, but I truly believe she got into politics to make a difference, not to see how high and how far she can go.<BR/><BR/>And because of that, many people want her in the White House.Paul Eilershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03443012393151401891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5736378642004875114.post-90500705166054282322008-09-07T00:18:00.000-05:002008-09-07T00:18:00.000-05:00It is scary to think about what could happen to us...It is scary to think about what could happen to us and our nation in the next four years. No matter what we get promised, those promises always get lost somewhere on Pennsylvania Ave. Our country needs to unite behind someone, but I'm not sure we have found the right one.

I just saw one "town hall" meeting and I can guarantee his answers would have been different if the crowd was not a basically urban one. Yet, everyone appears afraid to point this out because they do not wish to offend anyone. <BR/>BTW, his answer suggested the mortgagae crisis was an attack on blacks and latino people. I wonder if any white people were offended by that?Da Old Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02529514518271981093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5736378642004875114.post-52744078308347804802008-09-06T13:10:00.000-05:002008-09-06T13:10:00.000-05:00I have a sneaking suspicion that the biggest thing...I have a sneaking suspicion that the biggest thing on everyone's mind is the economy/inflation/jobs.<BR/><BR/>Which brings up a question maybe you can answer: When these politicos say "WE are going to..." drill for oil, come up with alternative energies, yada yada yada, how in the world can "WE" actually do that? It's the Big Oil Men, it's Big Business that is making all the decisions to stay dependent on foreign oil for profits' sake and only profits' sake. What are they going to do - give more tax breaks to entities that already don't pay taxes? Or will they turn a blind eye to the hiring of illegal immigrants that work way outside our workforce protection laws? The only way the government can have any real say in what Big Business does is by nationalizing the industry, and you know that won't happen in our lifetime.<BR/><BR/>I think that as soon as the government opened our borders to businesses and deregulated, it lost the ability to protect and control business, and in turn lost all ability to actually represent PEOPLE. For that reason, if our government is bigger or smaller, it won't make any difference - it's already as neutered as it can get.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5736378642004875114.post-60324478462916657802008-09-06T09:38:00.000-05:002008-09-06T09:38:00.000-05:00FishHawk:Can't do it.

You certainly appear to be quite qualified. After all, was it not less than a week ago when you boldly proclaimed that you would not be posting any more political articles for a while???
