Not to mention he looks a little like Freddy Kruger spliced with Mini Me. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Romney is a Mormon battery powered manequin given life by Joseph Smith Jr. and Calvin Kline. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Giuliani's creators forgot to install his upper lip while applying faux skin to his robotic mainframe. They also misplaced the moral and truth telling chipset, explaining his calmness during and after the 9/11 attacks. He knew.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thomson needs to spit out the chew. I think he swallows. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ron Paul has done irreperable damage to the going system. Even if he doesn't get the nomination, people have heard too much of a whole lot of truth to sit well with whoever, or whatever is elected. Ron Paul is the real deal. Go Ron Paul!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I find it hard to understand why the american voters are so easy to fool. Its my opinion the top tier candidates in both partys souldnt be there.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On the republican side with &amp;nbsp;Giuliani and Romney,. America better watch there [six] with these two guys. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Giuliani: &amp;nbsp;Is nobody without 9/11 he stereotypes everything that comes out of his mouth. Giuliani is a fixed idea or iamge of himself.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Romney: &amp;nbsp;is a micro manager. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thompson: A good VP.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Huckabee: would be just another Carter&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On the democrats side with Hillary and Obama,. We are being flank by all the democrats on this health care issue. Blind side with oversimplification. Hillary: &amp;nbsp;I have my doubts we already have the first women speaker of the house in history. Her first 100 hours turn out to be a one way ticket to a nothing show. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Obama: &amp;nbsp;This guys is real scary talk about FAUTY LOGIC this man is a Harvard gratuate with a law degree I wouldnt let this guy handle a parking ticket for me. &amp;nbsp;Debate'ing skills are zero&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Edwards: &amp;nbsp;All I see is Dan Quayle just go away to Mr Edwards. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Biden: &amp;nbsp;Is the best choice for a &amp;nbsp;the democrats. At lease he understands policy. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I don't think the American people or the media &amp;nbsp;fully understand this country is at war. This war is as real as real can get. A war started by a sitting United States President. In 2006 the Democrats took claim there party will end the war. The debate moderated by Tim Russert asked the question &amp;quot; Will you have the troops out by 2013?&amp;quot;. Hillary, Obama and Edwards replied with the answer &amp;quot;NO&amp;quot;. This reponse will continue the &amp;nbsp;body bags coming home intill 2013 and beyond. This war is a great big castle with four towers at each corner tower 1 is Iran &amp;nbsp;2 is Syria &amp;nbsp;3 is Pakistan &amp;nbsp;4 is Jordan and Saudi Arabia. The strategy was to put our military right smack in the middle of a ticing time bomb. Fighting in two court yards without secure borders. Iam 52 years old I watch my brothers come home from Vietnam with there heads down tears in there eyes. I dont want to see that again in my life time We must win this fight.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Give me my rifle give me a ride to the battle at 52 I will fight right next to the kids who are trying to keep our freedom and our way of life and mainly our SOVEREIGNTY. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Its been said about President Truman.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;As President, Truman made some of the most crucial decisiions in history&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The next Commander - in - Chief &amp;nbsp;takes office on January 20th, 2009. He/ she will have to handle this Middle East nightmare that President Bush has initally started. The new President will have to find a new edge to Foreign Policy. The right touch of Dipolmacy will be key.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The only candidate thats been right the whole time is &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Senator John McCain is the only candidate on record that can bring this nation back to the center .He is the only one that can strategically top Mr. Truman's decision-making. He is the only candidate to resolve and unite this nation without a big boom.&lt;/p&gt;

How this is actually manifested and carried out is unknown to most, but the effects are well known to most. This is why support for first tier Republican candidates is a mile wide and an inch deep while support for second tier candidates is narrow, but very deep. &amp;nbsp;Those second tier candidate supporters rely on the internet for their information and go to the sources media people go to. But citizens have more freedom of thought and expression than media employees of the rich have. Unfortunately even the second tier candidates are afraid to use the forums of the national debates to inform the American people of what is driving their disenfranchisement. When the American people wake up and realize that they were not vigilant when they needed to be, it will probably be too late. The senate can ratify treaties that subvert our constitutional sovereignty and liberties. And it will only take one or two supreme court justices to go over to the &amp;quot;liberal&amp;quot; saide and it will be all over.&lt;/p&gt;
