i would def. give juliani a chance. he did well with nyc. but... i'd have to look at what type of policies he's trying to push.

Like pratik said, you're going to end up voting for the lesser of the evils. It's sad, but that's they way they campaign. It always end up being a "i'm better than him/her, b/c i Fukc up less than he/she did". Bottomless smere campaign. I don't get too involved myself. What i learned from last election is no matter how much hype or hate the democrat publicized against the republican with P Diddy and his vote or die campaign about the minority stepping up to vote ya de ya de ya. End of the day, all that need to vote, simply don't vote. I hope the democrat simply don't run the same "iraq this..they lie.." campaign b/c it simply didn't work last time. I don't know much about juliani, but from what i know, i don't see how he's qualifies. you can only live off of 911 for so long. Anybody in his position would of done what he did, that doesn't make him special. An analyst made the best comment regarding juliani. If he has a history of lack of commitment (3 divorce) to his family, how in the world can he assure us commitment to the country?

ppl who vote republican are simply racist and hate black people and minorities Just have to admit that fact and i'll respect them. Otherwise, I dont buy the whole 'well I am pro-life' or 'I hate f@gs' argument. Those people vote blindly, just like people who blindly follow a religion never knowing the truth...

I look at it this way. How was my life 8 years ago?? As far as my pay, my lifestyle, cost of living, safety...

Well, my pay hasnt gone up much (outside of your 3-6% raise), i truly dont feel any safer since invading afghanistan or iraq....cost of living has gone up (which can partially be attributed to inflation), and gas prices have shot up exponentially. Now granted, prices DO go up (ex. a can of coke used to cost $.50, now costs .75), but along with prices going up you also see incomes go up as well.... However, during the last 6-7 years the cost of a home has almost doubled, interest rates now are crazy (even on student loans), way to go GB, increase rates for students...god forbid americans get an education...

Gas prices have shot through the roof. I remember in 1998 I used to fill my tank on my olds cutlass (V8) for ~$25. Again, granted each year there was a small increase (.05-.20 cents increase)..however I dont recall the last time we had a $.75-1.50 increase in gas prices...

You would think w/ the invasion of Iraq (and all that oil) that the prices would decline...but they know GBs time is almost up, so why not continue making more profits b4 the party is over. For those who didnt know, Exxon/Mobil is #1 on Fortune 500 for the most revenue...(just got surpassed by Wal-Mart today on the news...) and leads all companies for profits...

Take it even a step further, take a look at the top 10 companys on the fortune 500 list for most profitable...3 out of the TOP 8 are oil companies...

The money they are spending to get a head start for the upcoming primaries. I am just waiting to see who are the front runners after all is said and done. I think Obama will beat Hillary when the primaries come around. It will be close, but I think the people are not ready for another Clinton. Republicans; it is up in the air. It will be a very interesting 2008.

'08 Presidential Elections..........?

I believe we need a new category to vote for......"None of the Above!" I
haven't seen or heard anyone that deserves to run our country. This is
kinda the way it's been for the past few years.........you vote for one person
because the other really sucks........not a good way to vote! I sure in the
hell don't want another Clinton in the Whitehouse......once was enough.
