People who run for presidency lie more then my eyes blink...And I try very hard not to blink.


They promise us stuff they never bring because well congress never passes anything.


I would like to see America quit worrying about who has the most money, which company is paying of what people in DC. And looking at the big picture not just the small picture. America has a lot more problems then any other country.

For this purpose the ideas put forth by Dennis Kucinich and his Green Works Program are the most sound. It would move the United States from an Oil Bank based energy policy to a Solar Bank based energy policy. Solar Bank energy includes not only solar but wind, small hydroelectric and tidal power generation. We have the technology to make the switch but it will not happen as long as Big Oil controls the government. Both Bush and Cheney come from families that made all their money off of oil and still do.

Switching would decrease the need for us to be in the Middle East and therefore the need for this war which is no longer really about terrorism but control of oil reserves. It would eliminate the need to continue converting our crop fields for corn and soy to make e85 ethanol and biodiesel. It would create decent good paying jobs instead of the largest employment sector living off minimum wage in the retail industry. It will also bring technology improvements to other sectors of our lives.

Unfortunately, I do think that Kucinich's ideas are too much for the conservatives in both parties to handle. However they would reshape this country much like Roosevelt did to work on bringing us out of the depression and through World War II. Therefore my campaign will be to get him appointed Energy Secretary of whoever does get elected. The president is only as good as his advisors.

Technically, there isn't such thing as free healthcare. Someone has to pay.

Thank you! :)

I think some people have to get out more. It's no secret that socialism doesn't work. The fall of the soviet union isn't a secret; just open up a history book.

Anyway, education is a very important issue for me. I support Giuliani as far as that goes. It is critical to our country's education that we use vouchers to create competition between schools.

And if Hillary get's elected and tries to give us "free" healthcare, and pulls us out of Iraq, I'm going to leave this country, lol.
