turtlesoup for BARR '08!

It just seems like, from word of mouth, that most Obama supporters got swept away by an early Obama speech and have been strongly devoted since. Are there some Obama supporters that used to be highly critical of him and changed their mind??

and repeatedly claims Bob Barr will only "steal" votes from John McCain, why aren't the media and Obama campaign pushing for Barr's inclusion in the presidential debates?

In 1992 the Bush campaign pushed hard for Ross Perot's inclusion in the debates and some attribute the Bush victory to this.

I'm not saying I want Obama to win, but I don't want McCain to win either. I'll be equally dissapointed. I would however, really like for Barr to be able to participate in the debates and be heard. Thoughts?

Do you consider this when you vote?

Keep in mind that the Republican party was once a third party until it unseated the Whigs.

The old jokes seem to be painting McCain as a harmless nice old man who's just not quite there and fit to be president. That's not such a big deal up against all the more aggressive attacks on Obama. It also seems to be covering up the "angry McCain" image. Thoughts?

Russia is buying up all the energy resources and securing their power in the world. They are appealing enough for citizens of a democracy (Georgia) to want to join them. Almost 100 percent of South Ossetia were Russian citizens by choice and had voted to separate themselves from Georgia. That didn't end up working out too well for those people...

But back to the original question, isn't Russia being smarter by becoming the energy power while we sit with our hands tied behind our backs for environmentalists and polar bears?

When I hear cheering crowds about raising taxes, stealing from the rich to give to the poor so things can be "fair", and people nodding their heads about lost rights for a higher sense of security...I must ask, "Are you afraid of freedom?"

Do you think that if there were less laws, the war on drugs ended (crimes without victims), and less reliance put on government to "care" for us all, our country would fall apart with the inherent evil of mankind?

Since she claims to be doing his noble work and all...haha.

I'd ask her why she thinks it is her job to save the planet...

If so, what made you switch over?

I've had trouble understanding what exactly liberals hope to achieve and often find liberal-minded people self-contradicting. Instead of just blasting you ignorantly, I'd like for you to explain to me what your hopes and vision are for America's tomorrow.
