ok ya i guess ur right i think it would sux if a girl was priz..... well to most ppl *not trying to be sexest*

She is an annoying candidate. She's stiff and brittle. She can't even sing on key either. Ewwwwwwww!

Romney could be assassinated because people hate Mormons and don't understand their beliefs. For instance, Mormon men believe they will be gods when they die and each will have his own planet to rule over.

I prefer eating KFC chicken with my hands, unlike Mitt who uses a plastic knife and fork.

I prefer to eat Popeye's fried chicken with my hands. Heck, I'd even eat the Cajun rice with my hands as long as I had napkins :)

I'm glad you are here and are reading about the candidates and the election.

Find a web site or a newspaper page that lists all the candidates on a chart and briefly explains what each believes and wants for our country regarding health care, energy, the Iraq war, relations with other countries, poverty, the homeless, a draft, education, etc. The more informed you are, the smarter you will be as a voter. Listen to other people but don't let them sway you against what you believe is right.

He's not in any hurry to die, so I don't think starting wars would be his thing. He has a very nice life now and is wealthy.

There is no draft. There will be no draft.

[al1012]

There is no draft. There will be no draft.

But I was told... (this is why my dad is in the army)... at 1 point they opened the draft and like right be for it closed my dad was drafted and when it cloced he told me that it could open again :confused:

[Wondergirl]

It could, but it won't as long as there are enough volunteers who choose go into the military.

The last time there was a draft was during Vietnam when young men did not choose to go into the military to fight that terrible war. Some moved to Canada and hid there. Some went to college and were exempt. Others ended up in jail during protests. The draft was started to force guys into the military.

Why is your father in the Army? Is he a career Army man? He must have volunteered.

The military does give good benefits for housing, health care, education. The Navy would be my choice if I would go into a branch of the service.

He got drafted they he got the bulit from the 50 cal in his knee and he just never wanted to leave he could own your family business but he's in the army so when he is home he normaly on base working

[Wondergirl]

In what year was he drafted?

[al1012]

In what year was he drafted?

U know I never ask that
...
What if he was lying to me to make me get a good job
...
But he has been in the army for 34 years

[tomder55]

36 years ago he could've been drafted . 34 years ago was 1974 . December 1972 the last person in the US was conscripted.

I do not believe there will be a draft. The military certainly doesn't want it and there is no need. The United States had a much larger volunteer military in the 1980s and there is no reason it could not grow to those levels again without conscription.

You running I'll vote for you!

Hillary and Obama I don't think so.

[clinton mccoy]

Seriously, what is the moral high road; it might be different for two people. The high moral ground in foreign policy for me is to make liberty and the pursuit of happiness available to all humans.[/QUOTE]
Ok I meant high ground but I share the same definition

[clinton mccoy]

Any color president could be assassinated. In fact, even white ones have been assassinated.

If Al Sharpton or Alan Keyes or even Jesse Jackson were the black candidate, I might agree with you. Not so much with Obama. He doesn't play the race card and is well-liked by a majority of white and black men.

Of course, it only takes one unbalanced person....

I have since asked 23 black people and all answers were the same. Not even I expected that. I figured someone would give the "every president could be assassinated" politicly correct answer. None. Most people on this site seem to be open minded intelligent people, try talking to some good old boys that sees every black person as a n****r and check their opinions. I am pretty sure you won't be shocked.
This is a true story I work and go to college here in FL. Today I over heard 3 white mean talking about the primary and the candidates. They were two maintenance men and one security( ex-cop) all three were over 40. They talked so bad about Obama( because he was black) that I wanted to comfront all three of them( on an intellectual level of course). They really think that the only reason blacks are voting for him is because he is black. My point is thy felt like the country is going to hell because a black man has the chance to be elected. Oh yea I did make them seem like intellectual fools. Sorry I am not that refined yet. Lmao

[Wondergirl]

You should have beat them up! I was born and raised in NC, so I recognize the mindset. Too bad -- they are very wrong about blacks voting for him just because he is black. In fact, the opposite was true until recently, that blacks didn't think he was black enough or that a black person could ever be president--so they didn't vote for him at first. Thank goodness, that is changing!
