Look, Folks, I have been trying to stay away from the argument that of race or sex on all levels. This is just plain stupid on any level.  If someone has an idea on how to get our country back to the standard of which it has to be to be a leader in the world stage then more power to that person.  NO matter who or what the sex or color of their skin....or that religion for that matter.

I am an Independent that has tried to stay away from this as long as I could.  For me this has taken a great tole on me and many like me out here.  I tend to lean democrat in my voting process...that will not change who ever the candidate is.  I do, however, mean to let my voice be heard.  I have said from "day one" that I will not be satisfied with a dynasty type of a White House.  I refuse to have this in my lifetime!

What we need is a different name all together in it.  I would be satisfied to vote for daffy duck if that name was not clinton or bush, no matter how qualified they were.  There are many out here in the land of America that are qualified to be president of America.

It is just that simple for me.  I do now want bill clinton back in the white house.  It is just that simple for me.  

Actually, I do not know one single person who would love to be come the president of what a mess we America and the world has gotten into since 2000, or even before that famous year.  WE have to stand back and look at history before we can go forth to the future.  However, we do have to elect a man/woman as a new leader of our nation.  I am just thankful we live in America as apposed to some other nation of the world such a Russia or you get the drift.  {disclaimer of voting fraud} WE must make sound and prudent judgment calls for this not just fully sex or race calls on all of this.

This is serious stuff here kiddos.  Just give it a serious thought for a moment and then search your heart of hearts and then decide who is the better person to do the job.  I ask you to just do this one thing for this old lady.  My future depends on you all out there to make the best choice of all of your lives.

Thank you for this site for me to read.  I can't go to NO Quarter and get good reading anymore. Non-biased debate is no longer available for me.  I refuse to be thrown to the wolves of the likes of McShame for the likes of the DLC.  Just say no and mean it...

I called the clinton camp. hdqrs the other day and complained of her type of tricks she is forcing on the public.  This is not necessary for her to win, if she were really serious.  What a severe shame on her part.

I could go on and on but at least I think I have said enough and you do get my drift.  hugs to all here....
