Obama just doesn't have the experience in my opinion. I don't know near enough about him, but what I have heard worries me. Rudy is just on the wrong side of too many issues for my conservative republican self. It is hard to believe that in our whole system of prifessional politics, there is no 'good' canidate who is willing to run for the job. I am still praying that Fred Thompson will decide to jump into the race. I don't think anyone could beat him if he did, and he would be a great president. (He's the district attorney on Law and Order) He was a senator from TN until he decided to leave politics and go back into show buisness. | Have you checked out Duncan Hunter? I'll vote for him in the primaries, but I know he doesn't have a chance in ____ . http://www.gohunter08.com/ Quote:

That's one fault of W's I agree with!!!

| Its it un-Christian like. I mean just because we are a christian it does not mean we are perfect. Yes, we are not sopposed to hate.
I read that if you feel that way about some one you should pray for them every day and then before you know it you do not hate them anymore.
So I tried that and then I just had extreme pity for that person. I had a hard time praying nicely at first. LOL, I was trying not do say things like "Dear God please let ______ stop being a mean, lying, sleezy Jerk. | |

So if you going to try an act like an adult, be ready to defend your statements. | |

Then research the issues you believe are most important, and find a canidate that matches your criteria the closest. You could do that today, but I'm not sure at your age how much you want to research social security and seniors, not to mention the thousands of other topics adults would be willing to discuss. | |

| I think you will find, as I have, that as you grow and become older different issues will be come more important to you. Also ,if you live in different places different issues will come to your attention. I grew up on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, when I was young the issues I paid attention to were
1 The regulation of commercial fishing (my dad was a commercial fisheraman)
2. Jobs availabilty, The unemployment rate there was double what the rest of the nation was because the Ship Yard there wasn't getting as many contracts post Carter.
3 taxes
Now as a military wife, at 40 and living in California it's
National Security
Taxes
Military Pay and treatment
Immigration and control the influx of Illegals
Not in any particular order, though most tie in. | |

| Hey Huskylover, I like hearing your point of view on any issue. I find it very interesting and for a 12 yr old your are pretty with it. You live you learn. Your right some people arent helping. Your a kid and we should respect that and appreciate your imput with out being harsh on you.
Just know that there are people here who appreciate your imput and realize that you are a kid so if sometimes you come off a little too strong with your comments hey that is ok we wont get all bent out of shape over it. The people (if there are any and I will not name any names) who lash out at you with nasty comments well just dont worry about it they will get over it.
You are a cool Kid. If I had a 12 yr old daughter I would wish she could have a friend just like you  | |

| Do you guys think that the current front runners will burn out since we are 2 years removed from the actual election? | |

If you are loosing friends all the time then they must not have been a true friend to begin with. We all are so unique and it is not always easy to find people we are compatible with. I have had friends even in my adult life that were not who they said they were and it hurts when friendships end for me to
I just stay positive and try to enjoy the good things in life. Even if all I can find good that day is a sandwich or the sunshine. Each day brings something new and I am willing to bet God will send some good friends your way just dont be to busy being bummed out or you might not notice them.
You and I am basing this on the things you have posted are a wonderful person who stands up for what she believes in and has a big heart. You are very mature for 12 yrs old so that may be causing a problem right now with making friends. Things will change they always do. SO CHEER UP  RIGHT NOW | |

Honestly, I don't think I've seen this kind of hate between the two sides before. It particularly makes me sick when people compare our President to Adolph Hitler and Republicans to the Nazi party. | |

It has stopped being about making your self look good and turned into making your opponent look bad  | |
