I had such faith in Joe Biden, but he didn't get any attention either... You have to have enough money to take the press along on the plane ... Free ride gets you a free ride..

Iowa caucus was a rigged deal, if you ask people who were there, and the media only talked about the Top 3... Now, they leave Edwards out too.

The Media , the networks, and cable- Chris Mathews and Company, think they need to tell us who will win... Just shut up, Please... You can tell us After Someone Counts All the Votes.

Very impressive that Ron Paul was allowed in the Republican debate this week...

The national polls a couple of weeks ago showed Edwards beating every republican candidate. I noticed that this week they didn't even mention Edwards in the head to head polls, just Hillary and Obama...what's up with that? Are we going to pick another loser?

Rebates will come loaded onto a debit card so that you have to spend it and can not save. Also they will start losing value after a few months and slowly zero out after a few months.

It takes about 1,700 gals of water to produce 1 gal of ethanol. From seed to the pump. Is that really a better option for americans?

Yeah, that's my point. The Dems tend to waste more money on the poor.

Or in the case of war, a Dem President probably won't completely leave Iraq, but they will get the rich to pay more in taxes for it.

It's a general thing.

I personally know alot of Mormon women who are in politics and I wouldn't put it past them to run for president. That is like saying no Catholic or Baptist women would ever try, better yet that no women would, but of coarse that isn't true. You just made my point about judging people on their religion. Mormon women are just as strong and just as independent as any other women. What makes you think that just because they are Mormon that they can't do anything except stay home and have kids.

I'm sure not everyone would do it...but, if a significant number will return those ridiculous $600 monopoly checks, it will send a message. If you have to spend the money for bills, etc. then Mail the envelope back. It will be symbolic for I think this stinks, but times were so hard for me I had to cash the check, but I'm symbolically taking the time to return the envelope. If they get checks/envelopes back, it will send a message.

That's if you're vote even really counts, and if it does, whether the person you voted for will really stand up to big oil.
