We!, HAVE had!!!!.........

Too, many smoothe talking politicians, just to give Barack, our vote. Lets make him SAY something.
I saw him on LARRY KING, about two weeks ago, and he ,had address the Illegal Immigration issue and how he would settle it. I agreed, from the point of view, that we are not going to be able to remove them all. But, they would have to be in the BACK of the line, for any benifits available.
But I also KNEW, that that wouldn't last long, because of the Laws we have on the BOOKS!. Once you become an American, you can not be denied your rights!! for any reason. Now I know thats a false statement, based on our history. But Looking at our legal sytem, and how Spanish people have been GALVENISED, by this!!. I can see changes..............acoming!! and the Climbing CRIME RATE, is proof positive of this.
Crime is rising because it's becoming harder to find second jobs!! TO LEGALLY!! Support your family, if you fall behind on your bills.
The democrats, have pulled a fast one, that most are missing!! BILL RICHARDSON of Arizona. He announce his canditacy about a month a half ago!!! and nobody has seen him!!! WHY???
Because the only way, that BARACK, is getting into the white house, is by becoming President. Bill Richardson, will be VICE Prsedent, because of his CONNECTION, to SPANISH PEOPLE!!!. Now don't get me wrong, our votes count!!!, but right now, there votes, are the DIFFERENCE!!! at least in there minds (DEMOCRATS).
OHH, he might get a seat, or become an ABASSIDOR, but thats it.

Honestly I will be happy if Barack wins or Hillary wins. Either way we would be breaking new ground. I will vote for Hillary though because she is a change in this male dominated society and im interested in seeing what a woman could really do if given a fair chance. Men have always been president so why not let a woman get a crack at it. You never know she just may be better than all the men who have come before her.

Obviously not why don't you enlighten me. But please give me facts and documentation that I can read for myself.

I really don't follow her even though I liked her health care proposal. Do some research on Vince Foster and her relation to her, The Clintons and the drug smuggling ring in Arkansas while he was Governor, look into the scandal involving the law firm she used to work for in Arkansas. I would take her over most Republicans but I think Obama and his wife have far more morals and integrity than the Clintons. She probably will get the nomination so I hope Obama secures the VP spot at least. I would especially like to see his wife as first lady. She is very articulate, intelligent with a twinge of ghetto. In other words, don't mess with her or her man.
I agree with the bold.

It would have to be Hillary Clinton. I know much more about her. I kind of 'like' Obama but he seems to have been 'put out' there by folk who know that the majority of Blacks will vote for another Black without having to know anything really about why they're voting for him. Besides that he just seemed to appear from nowhere. Whites seem to endorse him because he has a large mix of whites in his family. Whoever wins, more power to them.

Cool

I'm voting for Obama for the same reason whites are voting for their people. It's way past time for a black president -- whether whites like it or not. I wish more blacks felt this way. If we did, we would have had a black president in 1984.

Hugs,

Lynn
