Thumbs down wow, It's starting already...

Pretty ******* disturbing, but completely predictable.. In a word, Sad.

There have been other news feeds going on about this very same topic, most of which include 'skin heads and white supremacists.' I'm telling you guys, this could get scary, I'm starting to think that Biden was definitely correct in linking the possibility of a "Kennedy connection."

Wow, what a couple of crazy dude. It's pretty sad but wnracing is right.....this won't be the last time we see a story like this. I gave wnracing **** about this topic, and I was dumb enough to think our country was past this kind of stuff.

As for the Kennedy reference I think biden was talking more about him being tested as a young president, but I hear what you are saying

I know people (well... I use that term loosely) that have said they'd vote for any <insert minority class here> candidate for president so that they'd get to see the first <aforementioned minority> president get killed. That in and of itself was enough to justify my total lack of faith in the motives of even the nicest folk.

People suck. Vote Ron Paul. EDIT: He sucks too.

I can agree with this statement, but we're not ready for this "non-white."

That's why you vote Bob Barr. A Libertarian who unlike Paul, doesn't demand constant attention and the spotlight and is even more a constitutionalist in terms of social issues (which Paul isn't).

No offense, because I completely understand why you don't want to vote repub. or dem., but why waste your vote on someone who doesn't have a snowballs chance in hell of actually winning or even making an impact? Might as well write-in vote for yourself.

Same point as in why vote for any one of the two major candidates when they stand the same way on all the issues except Iraq? Yes, he may not have a chance but "wasting" my vote on him instead of McClain (that's not a type-o, listen to Mark Levin) gives McClain less votes and sends the Republican Party a message that they need to stop drifting left and go back to the ideals that Goldwater and Reagan worked so hard on, since that is what made the party great, not this neo-con BS led by Bush and McClain, the faux conservatives. Plus, as Ron Paul said, it is better that Obama win since you will have 4 years of hell which will bring another Reagan vs. 8 years of steady decline that is irreversible.

And R3d, I'm assuming you believe that all politicians are a-holes that care less about you? Well, that's why you need to pick the d-bag that doesn't **** you off as much since they are all greedy pigs. And compared to any politician in NJ (from our useless corrupt senators, to our retard governor, to even my town's mayor), Bob Barr is God in human form for me. Ron Paul is up there too but Ron Paul got too full of himself, unlike Barr. Plus, when I saw Paul speak, the crowd he drew kind of chased me away (the 9/11 conspiracy type). Remember, all politicians are turd sandwiches and giant bottles of douche. As a voter, one must pick the one that's the smallest size to him/her.

actually you would be suprised how much of the country is not concerned with race, it isnt that i live in candyland, its that you seem to live in some backwoods hillbilly town. Sorry man, but i really hope you dont think that the rest of the country ideology falls in line with the capitol of country western music, and kentucky, ohio, tennessee, all have a higher concentrations of hate groups and such. I rememeber them briefing me about that in the military when i got stationed in Wright Patterson AB

lol

if you want a good idea of how much of the country is not concerned about race, take a good look at one of the presidential nominees.... If the county was so "not ready" for a black president he would never have made it this far.


lol..

candyland...

kkkland.. lol..

jack and bassman are reading me like a book.

Being a bigot is fine. Ignorance is fine, a little is even good for society. Acting, on the other hand, as a bigot is self defeating. Part of my love for this country is my freedom to viciously hate my president comes with my civic duty to treat him with the honor his office deserves, even when trying him for treason. We can hate whoever we want but respect the fact that whoever gets there got there.

And yes, all politicians want nothing but power and money. When they've got so much that Solomon blushes, then they'll want 10% more.

Not all, but most. IMHO, the ones after the presidency are only after power. They're spending millions and millions for a job that at most pays $400k.

the 400k is just the tip of the iceberg. after thier term is over and they are no longer president they usually end up making some insane amount of bank with seminars, books, endorsements, etc, etc.... im pretty sure they get that 400k/yr paycheck for life as well. I know the clintons are incredibly wealthy, largly due to the presidency, but not so much because of the presidential paycheck.

Hillary Clinton may not have won the Democratic presidential nomination, but the Clinton family shouldn’t be standing in any bread lines in the foreseeable future. Bill Clinton pulls in $250,000 to give a speech, which has been a fairly lucrative racket for him. A 2007 report in the British newspaper The Independent estimated Clinton’s earnings from speeches alone at somewhere in the neighborhood of $40 million since he left office six years earlier. Clinton also sold his memoir My Life to Knopf for $15 million, and he serves as an advisor for the private equity firm Yucaipa Companies, a post that has pulled in at least $12.6 million. When the Clintons released their tax data in April as part of Hillary’s campaign disclosures, they showed income of $109 million since leaving the White House.
I think most people go into politics for the right reasons and end up staying in politics for the wrong reasons.

it definatly looks like a nasty place to play, i dont think anyone can have a successful political career that is uncompromised. They have to look at what ideas are most important to them and may well end up throwing some of thier other views under the bus and betraying thier personal morals and ethics in order to secure another goal they are trying to accomplish.

Personally i think you have to be somewhat of a sadist to be in politics.

lol.
