We're Headed for Disaster!
Oh, no. Oh, no! This is very bad. Iowa voters have selected the two candidates with virtually no foreign policy experience and absolutely zero management experience in the private sector. Bush, the worst President in the history on the USA, at least had managed large corporations and had measurable success as Governor of Texas. But these two birds, Obama and Huckabee, have achieved absolutely nothing in their political careers and have never worked in management for a company. And this is who we to manage the largest entity in the world? If you think Bush sucks, get ready for a new era.
Obama and Huckabee distinguished themselves using one or two divisive issues throughout their campaigns, but really, they are ideological twins. Both of them are career politicians. That means that the only real jobs that they have held have been in the public sector, mostly as politicians. So they have absolutely no idea of the stress, anxiety and accountability that is associated with owning or running a business. More importantly, they lack the appropriate management skills that are developed though commercial management. Neither of them possesses this extremely important qualification. So, how will they be able to manage the world's largest economy?
Secondly, Obama and Huckabee both love to victimize themselves, and others, and exploit it for personal and finacial gain. Obama wrote a book about his poor upbringing and being bi-racial, Huckabee wrote a book about losing over 100 lbs (much of which he has gained back, 3 or 4 times). Both books were designed to emotionalize readers while lionizing the authors, and both biographies were "coincidentally" released before announcing their candidacies. In these books inspirational words like "hope" and "faith" are used to brand the candidates with a sensationalized image. How many time have you heard Obama use the word "hope?'' No other candidates have sensationalized voters by using victimhood as much as Huckabee and Obama, nor have any other candidates used such baseless and empty rhetoric.
Thirdly, Barack and Huckabee also like to do a lot of pretending and pandering. Barack, like Huckabee, pretends that he is a lot of things. At one event he talks to Muslims about his Muslim roots. At another event he takes on a gangster accent when taking to southern black Baptist churches and permits gay bashing. At another event he talks pretty and sophisticated with the wealthy United Church of Christ's congregation. At the gay lobbyist events and forums he fags himself up so much that you would think the was the biggest Queen in the race. But that title goes to Judy.....I mean Rudy Guiliani. Huckabee is just as slick. When talking to the unemployed Republican voters in Iowa he blames illegal immigrants for taking their jobs. But in Arkansas, a sanctuary state for illegals, he was revered by all the top deputies at the illegal immigration militia's "aka" immigrant reform coalitions because he was so "well versed and knowledgeable of their issues." Though we may not be able to read through all the lies and fabrication, we do know for sure that both candidates are very willing to be lenient with immigration if it is to their own political advantage.
This election is the ultimate indicator of the mentality that has permeated the minds of an overwhelming number of Americans. We shouldn't elect our leaders based on how good they make us feel, as voting based on emotion is nothing more than irrational. Just 2 weeks ago the world's most educated country, South Korea, with the highest average IQ, test scores, number of scientists and engineers, and professional degrees just elected the most conservative President of all the industrialized nations. Korean President-elect Lee Myung-Bak is the perfect example of what a qualified candidates is. He grew up in extreme poverty during the Korean war, earned his way into Korea's top university, worked his way up the corporate ladder to become the CEO of Hyundai Construction and made Seoul one of the most affluent and ecnomically competitive cities in the world as mayor. The superior intellectual aptitude of South Korea's average voter enabled a victory for an economic champion.
So with the dumming down of American voters comes Presidents like Bush, and now even worse, Obama or Huckabee, while other countries are electing more formidable and skilled leaders. What does this mean? Let's think about it. Americans are becoming fatter, increasingly more dependent on psychiatric prescriptions and services, lazier and with student test scores plummeting, dummer. So many of our fellow citizens have become so dumb, lazy, crazy and victimized that they vote based on emotion, whatever makes them feel good. Well, Obama and Huckabee sure are good at making the flakey, fat and over-medicated "victims" feel good. But it won't feel good in the years to come when we are economically leveled by smarter and more competitive countries. If Huckabee or Obama go on to win the next wave of primaries, kiss America as you know it goodbye and ring in the new era of China, South Korea, Japan, Russia, Qatar, UAE, and other rapidly growing economies. Both Obama and Huckabee have zero business or economic experience. The leaders of the aforementioned nations do. We are putting ourselves out of business.

If they run Ground Zero Rudy against Hillary- or even that Muslim monikered weakling Obama- after someone releases Anthrax into the crowd at the 2008 World Series, he might win with like 93% of the vote.
I went to Texas in July while 8 months pregnant to cover a baseball game for AOL...but I wouldn't go near the 2008 World Series for all the oil in Iran.
You know even though you interned and helped Romney in 2002, Romney was no where to help you, me, or the rest of the MassGOP in 2006. He abandoned our commonwealth and he abandoned you and me. If Huck don't win, then let it be McCain. All I have to say is that you can't by the Presidency and that negative campaigning doesn't work.
Romney just got "Hucked" up!
When I interned, I will admit, I was the only intern invited to his Belmont home. However his campaign did favor the interns from rich and Mormon families way more than me. What did I know, I was 19.
Yeah, Romney sucks for using people like he does, but he is better for the country than Huckabee when it comes to economics. But, after viewing Huckabee's victory speech, I think he may have more integrity.
Romney and Huckabee a 2 completely different kinds of Republicans. I am a blend of the two. So I am stuck between supporting someone who is best for this country, yet callously screwed us over, and someone who probably has the right heart for the job (but not the credentials).
McCain definitely isn't the right guy. Way too lazy and slow. What do you think of Judy....I mean Rudy?
I've spent years in the private sector working for various sized companies and I would NEVER give any CEO I've run across a second thought as President. I think your lack of experience in the corporate world makes you romanticize business leaders.
One more thing, look at what you wrote about me and my job, you think others are bullies ? WOW!!!
Huckabee's win in Iowa was great, it sent a strong message that campaign's can't be bought. However, we don;t really want him to end up winning.
I just got off the phone with Justine Kirkwood and we concluded that we don't want Huckabee representing America, especially because of his wife. Our country needs a first lady who is a real lady, not a slovenly jezebel.
I, and several other who I have spoken to, believe that the image and demeanor of the first lady is very important. This wife of Huckabee's, whatever her name is, is a brute. She is not first lady material. That also eliminates Rudy too, because we don;t want to go through 3 or first first lady's during one presidential term.
So yeah, Ron Paul is good. He is for small government, a women's doctor who is pro-life, has private sector and foreign policy experience and so muc more. I think I might just vote for him.
Of course I will help rebuild the party when I return from Asia. I will be starting an MBA program out of Boston so. like you, I will be a little strapped for time. But we will make time! And eventually we will save the poor and suffering people on Cape Cod from the elitist anti-young people liberal Dinosaurs (both Republicans and Democrats). That's a little bit of an exaggeration but I thought it would sound funny. Just a little.
Honestly, I have been helping Republican candidates, hundreds of them, since I was a teenager. Unfortunately I was too young to realize that there are some good and some not so good Republicans.
I don't just blindly help any Republican candidate. They have to be good people, have no ego and absolutely can't be power hungry. Oh, yeah, and they can't lie either. Unfortunately these days such candidates are hard to come by.
Before we promote Republicanism in Massachusets the Republican party must change. We will keep losing until that happens.
Since I was raised a conservative democrat (extinct breed) decisions regarding polit. has always been difficult. The only Rep. I met, who I like is your Jeff Perry, state rep of Sandwich. Great guy, I believe his views, at least on the local level are fair. I consider him more of a moderate than a die hard republican. I mean it's all so subj.--dem. vs. rep. It's really the candidate & his track record.
As much as I would like to see a woman in the Oval Office, I don't want Hillary. She's still a corporate caterer, like G.jr., & it's time for change. I don't think getting Hillary means getting Bill, who was a good pres. None of us were suffering when Bill was in charge.
I like Obama & you raise a good point about foreign affairs. But come on! Who thus far has aced that area of expertise? It's better to have a pres. who is FOR THE PEOPLE & if we have a pres. who takes care of us, the rest of the world will follow. Bush has ruined this country & the world has lost respect for its people who allow him to run this country into the ground & colonize the middle-east w/greed.
He's getting his pay back for what he failed to do for us as governor. He's another corporate caterer. The Big Dig was in his hands, and he allowed the corp. construction companies to run off with our loot. Wonder who's he got financing his campaign? And we think G. jr. is bad, could you imagine what a mess Mitt would make? Mitt's all about Mitt and his Grecian Formular #9.
The points you raise about first lady is important one. We saw just what Mrs. Kerry did for her husbands campaign.
It's quite clear the people have spoken--they want Obama. I don't think he's a liberal, I see him as a moderate and one who is in touch with the real issues, not an egotist, and genuine in his speech. Unlike the rest of the talking heads who will never respond to a difficult question with a real answer, just more sidesteps and confusion as to where they stand. Frankly, with oil prices escalating, national deficit at it's highest, millions without healcare & quality jobs, housing, immigration--we need someone with a fresh approach to politics. Obama is not a WASP, so ??
Locally, I don’t see what you people think the GOP has to offer on a local level here in MA. I have yet to hear anything new.
Now watch CCToday strip this comment.
What a joke.
As you can see in Iraq... even a superpower with an airforce and navy that go unchallenged have a very,very difficult time subduing smaller, less wealthy nations.
The Muz can steal a jet here and there... poison some reservoirs... knock down the occassional 110 story building..... but forcing Arabic on us and veiling our women is simply not a feasible option considering the relative military/economic powers of the two sides.
If anyone tells you otherwise... laugh in their goddamn face,and try to convince them not to exercise their vote. Most likely, it wouldn't be that difficult a task.
Also... pretty much every professional wrestler who takes on a political gimmick is pro GOP. Bob Backlund, JBL, the Ultimate Warrior... all 'phants.
He eliminated Doink The Clown, The Gobbledy Gooker, and finally Repo Man for the W. He looked really, really fat.
Hyannis Port's own Ted DiBiase then entered the ring, gave IRS a bag of cash, and took the title himself... because everybody's got a price for the Million Dollar Man.
As for Bush.. he and I agreed that we should punish Muslims. We began to disagree when 9/11 turned into a Profit Party for the oil companies.
Ann Coulter can call me whatever she wants... but we didn't go to Europe in WWII and start killing *more* Jews.
I actually wanted to wrestle there...but they got kind of notgivingmethejobbish once they got a look at my complex medical history with the concussions.
That job is also where I got my "Smurf" nickname.
Of course, they don't have to answer for their acts, they just destroy the proof! Easy when you control everything.
What was is, a million e-mails just "disappeared"?
Cia tapes destroyed, "What, me torture?"
Or deny and re-write history.
"We never said Iraq was involved in 911"....until they play back the show they were on talking about it!
"Mushroom clouds, warehouses full of chemical weapons" Yeah, BEFORE 1991!
Bush is a horrible President and Darth Cheney is worse.
They can spy on you, listen to your phone calls, throw you in jail on suspicion, leave you in there for 3 years without counsel,and they have suspened the right of Habeus Corpus.
And at the same time, they have allowed huge war-profiteering on the blood of American soldiers.
SHAME!!!/SHAM
I did OK at the tryouts- I actually won the foot race. Everyone else had 3-10" on me, though. Being short SUCKS!
I was also kinda on the low end of the looks scale there.
My principal value to the company would have been that:
A) I'm small, and could be thrown around easily.
B) I speak French.
C) I was never into cocaine.
If you're a fan of the show, youmay get a stiffy to know that I still keep in touch with Vanya ("Jacklyn Hyde"), who is actually crazier than I am.
But we can still post online and call each other names, so all is fine. Keep walking, nothing to see here.
I remembered thinking, this guy better be careful, he will be named an enemy.
Why am I thinking that way? Is that paranoia, or reality?

As for Obama, I think that he has the most integrity of all the Democratic candidates. Clinton is a total power hungry hack, Edwards is a deceiving slimey trial lawyer. Oh yeah, and that Richardson, not impressive at all. But Obama is a decent guy. His wife seems strong and confident, yet not to the point of being manly, and his children are so adorable compared to Chelsea. But with all that said, I still am not convinced that he has a strong enough resume. He has absolutely no busniess or management experience. How will he be able to run the largest economy in the world?
You're so right. Our homes are only worth what people will pay & today it's not more than what we paid, unless you are old enough to have been around since umass. The worst terrorists are
in our white house & govt., Blackwater Securities are allegedly killing innocent civilians in Iraq. Torturing prisoners illegally, Patriot Act is not protecting us, it's taking our rights away. No difference between either party. They just keep on fooling the American public. What of our children's future? I guess if you are fortunate to be part of the 1% now 2%, thanks to Bush's tax welfare for corp.greed. Invading countries before colonial times & putting murderous dictators in place. Didn't we back Musharaff?
The people we are bombing are innocent civililians. 911 was a bad excuse to agree to war for Haliburton & other cronies. Bush has been with the Saudi's for a long time, Sr. was head of CIA, Bin laden cannot be caught, so who is protecting him? Is he even the guy we want? I pray we see much needed changes in 2008. Bush is the WORST president! It's okay umass, you got yours.
Yes, Obama is not a well seasoned politican. But come on--with what we've been stuck with so far, who wants one of those!
How about some new blood, one with fresh ideas, no more old boy networks--they are done! I would like to see more opportunities for people who are in the struggling middle to lower class bracket. College should be for everyone, not the the chosen selected. I don't know the answers, but only see the many problems we face as a nation. It saddens me to see so many struggling to get by. Families are suffering without healthcare, housing, jobs, & all this govt. cares about is conquering the middle east. I have friends from this region of the world who have been in this country for many years. They worry for their families who remain in a country torn. My own family member who works for the govt. tells me Iraq is a country completely changed, millions have died. Obama is a muslin. I believe he is the one who can bridge peace with the middle east. We need a president who the world can respect, Bush only managed to alienate our allies & create distrust.

As for Obama, he lacks management experience. He has nener been a manager, ever!!!! So how can he manage the largest entity in the world? If he was a CEO or aven the manager of a mid-level sized business I think I would consider voting for him.
I definitely DO NOT want a well seasoned politician. We absolutely need fresh blood. look at Hillary and McCain. They are a little too well-seasoned. They have been in Washington for decade. Answer this question:
What have they done???
I rest my case. And therefore we need an outsider with management experience. That person may be Bloomberg. He definitely would be the most qualified by far!!!! None of the candidates would be able to hold a candle to him. But I don;t like where he stands on many issues.
Greenspan doesn't know what he's talking about?
