		<description>Major Tom....hi. Yes it is a lively race but started way too early. People will tire of the babble and filthy politics that Hillary started already. As far a Gulianni , I will stick my neck out and say he will win easily. I think he can overcome being Italian and also Catholic - two negatives as far as a US president goes.</description>

		<description>For certain, I have notice that the present run-up to next year's election is the most heated in years like every candidate is getting at each other's throat more than ever. In some way, this becomes like the Philippine sitiuation. Yet on the otherhand, it becomes much livelier than before where mostly presidential candidates just mumble unispire words. Now, it's different, Hillary, Obama, Mitt Romney and Gugliani are lively candidates and it makes election there more colorful and interesting.

I like Gugliani but my apprehension about him is ethnicity, like is America ready for a president heavy on the Italian side; like they said they were never ready to elect a vice-president of Jewish descent.</description>

		<description>I don't know much about the US politics but I see articles about the current campaigns now &#38; then. I liked the Clinton's probably because Bill is very personable. I am actually hoping Hilary will win, I see her as a strong and qualified woman. I have been aghast at the level of dirt being thrown at her recently. Though I have been disappointed with her slogan "we're in it, to win it"?</description>

		<description>Eric, I beg to  disagree. Read up on the Clintons {both of them} WHITEWATER REAL ESTATE SCANDAL that started when he was the governor of Arkansas and followed to the White House and the trail of dead bodies that followed.

Like I have stated many times I am neither Republican  nor Democrat. I am independent and I will vote for the lesser of the two evils.

I agree Billy boy has charisma but  morals for a politician are important. Tell me what do you tell and 8 year old who asks daddy what did the president do to that woman that got him in so much trouble. 

I defend none of these politicians because politics is a filthy business. Hillary is a power monger already and is already mudslinging her democrat opponents as early as now. She recently took over 800.000.00, from a rap star producer who publishes songs so vile that i would not print the lyrics here. And in the next breath she talks about morals and public profanity.....

I respect your opinion though.  :)

With regards to WMD. well, what killed the 200,000  kurds? Every intelligent source told the president that they were there - France even, Germany even, England.  The UN gave him 6 months to dispose of them. Oh i think you might find them in Syria by the way.

I also would like to see a woman president here maybe Miss Rice?</description>

		<description>rhodora, i'm not into politics, and don't have a clue about the political issues in the US, but this post surely moved me. and it's true that people who would be good for the country can't run because they have no money. or because they aren't that "famous".

and corruption? in my view, it is an endless cycle, and will continue to be there unless you put a stop to it. look at this country, they have the "black gold" and should be wealthy like other arab countries. but what happened? only pockets have been fattened, but not the economy, nor the poor and desperate people. it's saddening =( because of this, most people cheat and steal, some become savages, killing for a few bucks. it's depressing. 

regarding mayor rudy, i've read a lot of articles about him after  9/11. as you said, everyone has a skeleton in the closet, but what's important was his performance during the 9/11 nightmare.</description>

		<description>Hi Vic:  .Thanks for you insightful comments. I have to agree with you, the U.S. has let the rich and powerful take control of not only the present offices, but more importantly the Congress and Senate. You see, you are right. Down here,  Americans seem to be more interested in voting   for the damn American Idol than the presidency. Sad but true..and yes they fall for the charisma types. Billy boy was a cinch he could charm the spots of a leopard. 

Our system has ben corrupted now in to solely two parties and  it is estimated that over 20 million dollars is needed to run for the office of president. To me this is very sad. I actually grew up thinking every one had a chance to run for any office.</description>

		<description>Hi Eric, thanks for your comment and I'm glad you like Hillary and Bill. Bill does have that charisma, but living here as a politician,  he was no better nor worse than the rest.  It's just that he is a born salsesman and he sold himself very well as excellent communicator.

As with Hillary , now thats a different story.  As a New Yorker,  I can say that she set up residence here only to run for Senate and represent a distrcit she knew nothing about,  only to achieve her goal for candidacy to the presidency.

I believe she has done NOTHING for the state of New York and was a huge proponent of Iraq's invasion  when it was a popular move 5 years ago. Like a true politician,  she has now flip flopped. 

As far as Rudy is concerned,  well, I was here. I smelled the burning flesh that day. I saw people jumping out from 100 floors above the earth to escape the unbearable torture of being burnt alive in those towers. So maybe I am biased  because I see how Rudy held a panic stricken city and country together...like a leader should.  He was there hands on. Also long befrore 9/11 he took a city with a huge deficit, cleaned up times square and other troubled areas, of street urchins, prostitutes, and in general low lifes and lowered taxes.</description>

		<description>Hi bw: Thanks for you views and I truly respect how you feel. I also do not cherish wasted lives because of war....yet I also am realistic enough to see the end results if everyone stands back and watches...

Let me ask you this:  Was it not a huge price that the Kurds paid a few years back when that madman exterminated over 200.000 of them? No one expected this to be an easy turnover, and yes the real hope lies in the YOUTH but they also need a chance to be heard  which is the whole idea of a democratic system.

One can't expect to turn a dictatorship around overnight We too have a civil war in our country over 100 years ago. In some battles 5,6,7 thousand died in minutes - the worst war we ever had here.  Also I believe the 3,000 that died on 9/11 over here was a HUGE PRICE TO PAY for just going to work that day. Let's face it, I understand that one must live in america to see the real story, the rest of the world only hears what our liberal media wants them to hear.....I am not saying every political decision the U.S. has made over the years is correct. World ploitics is a very difficult and dirty game to say the least...........</description>

		<description>Hello Liz: I can see why studying politics would make anyone apolitical..........lol....Trust me I am not that naive to believe we can change corrupt political systems over night but one has to start somewhere. Over here, I believe we can do it by limiting terms in the Senate and Congress, like how our president is limited to two terms because like I stated, the longer they serve the more favors and friends are created and the more the people suffer form the insider deals.. Our political system here is a bog of muck and mire where nothing ever gets done.  Also, it would be nice if the Congress and Senate were required to vote on bills. Some of their voting records are a joke. After all I believe that's what we pay them for.........lol</description>
