Okay, Dinos, I understand you clearly now.  |
Glad to see that I haven't lost my knack for clarity! Where do you stand regarding the subject? |

... Your knack for clarity, yes, and on may part, a better understanding of your sense of humor.

What about Ron Paul.
I dont know a think about him but I have a friend in LA who supports him and he used to tell me his really good but doesnt stand a chance.
I think its between the two democrats Obama and Hillary. If i had to choose it would be Obama. |

Somewhere between a socialist and a libertarian would make me a centrist (if not center-right), no?
Seriously speaking, I'm interested in how you see things so far...
Are you around NY? Hope you didn't have too shovel to much if so... |

... Under the impression that you slant more toward libertarian.

For me, presidential elections have been reduced to "go-for-the-least-of- the-evils." I'm disappointed in the Clinton camp and its plagiarism attacks ... trivial and tiresome ... as well is the allegation of McCain's affair. Unfortunately, we'll be fed a strict diet of this unpalatable cuisine until after the election.

I live in the Boston area where it's snowing as we "speak." In all my years, I don't remember a winter such as this. |

i am a democrat, and will vote whomever is on the ticket. i was hoping Hillary would run, with Obama as VP. i like them both, but Hillary already has 8 years experience in the white house, and a husband who she can get good advise from. Obama could learn alot, and when Hillery's 2nd term is completed, Obama could go for hsi 2 terms as persident.
a girl can dream, can't she?
i like Obama's issues on taxing the companies up the whazoo for outsourcing jobs to india. plenty of americans could do that work, and at least i could understand an american's accent over a thick indian accent when i call my ISP for tech support. |

How do the americans on this forum feel about the up coming elections in america, january 2009 if im not mistaken?
From what i read online and from americans i speak to most will be glad to see Bush gone, and that america is now 5 trillion dollars in debt for this long war in Iraq?
A black man bill clintons wife and i forget who else will run? who would you guys vote for? |

In my opinion, it is so expensive to offshore labor to places like India that you would not do it for any reason other than a lack of quality labor in the home market. The answer, of course, is to stop dumbing down the school system and force kids to actually learn math and science so that they can have a chance to compete with their counterparts overseas.
Hope you're well! |
