In general, I cannot understand how anyone can vote for a Democrat but a vote for Hillary Clinton is entirely unfathomable. Her family has embarrassed themselves and by extension us, for years. She has absolutely no experience as a leader of any kind and the one election that she won was simply a product of her husbands popularity and the financial clout of their friends. How can anyone be confident that she or Obama for that matter can lead a group of boy scouts through a crisis, never mind the most important nation in the world. We are at a worldwide crossroads where proven leaders are needed to lead. Neither of these two could inspire me to drink if I were in middle of the desert. Mrs. Clinton is a grating, phony who not only lacks integrity but she doesn’t have the self-respect to leave a man who has shamed her publicly for years. What kind of leader is she capable of being if she can’t stand up for herself in her personal life? How can we have any confidence that she will be able to stand up for us? To make the tough decisions when they need to be made? How can anyone not look to Romney and McCain and see polished, sincere and capable leaders? People who have actually done something in their lives other than ride the coattails of their spouses or friends. They aren’t perfect (although I often hear that used as an reason not to like Romney) but they are capable and proven. As I watched the Obama speech tonight I saw so many young faces and all I could think was —wait until you’ve grown up and realized the error of your ways. Good speakers don’t necessarily equate to good leaders and good leaders aren’t always good speakers. The youth of this country are increasingly entitled, spoiled and ungrateful. This is not all their fault as they are constantly told by the media how bad this country is and that point is driven home by an overwhelmingly left leaning educational system that continually coddles them and ensures that they are all “winners”. These “ideals” are further supported by parents who either give them everything they want or turn a blind eye to their problematic behavior. As soon as they hit the real world and they realize that life isn’t fair and sometimes the actually have to earn something, they become resentful of those who they are told are the reason for the “inequity” in their lives. Of course they don’t resent or blame those who provided the bubble in which they spent their youth, devoid of competition and hard work, which of course are 2 of the biggest builders of character that we have. Ultimately, this leaves us with a generation of people who feel like the world owes them the things that most of us who are over 35 were taught that we needed to earn. This entitlement makes them easy fodder for those who are conniving enough to take advantage of their naivete and makes them support the ideals that would make our parents and grandparents roll over in their graves. For the first time in a very long time, I fear for our safety and future because there is a real possibility that our next President will be an unskilled and weak minded idealist, with no actual experience to prepare them for the most important job in the world.

No matter who gets in office after the proposed promises they made to the voters it all really comes down to the representaives ,congress ,and senate to pass anything put before them . These law makers are supposed to represent the majority who put them in office and not the special lobby interests of big business. With the outcry from every corner of the American voting public they are the ones that have to hear us and make the changes we are all now finally hearing and insisting we want in all levels of government. Pay attention to what they do more so than the presidential and governors promises that are made . The president and governors are mostly figure head representatives who make suggestions to them to act upon. They are more the responsible persons to our past, present and future situations than they are . Vote them out if they fail to do the majority bidding wether or not they represent you at the state or federal levels.

Romeny is a good guy. But has he every been in a war-zone. What did romeny do for veterans and small business owners. I dont know but many disable business owners and vetrans are paying high taxes. The health care law is not working and state police cannont detain illegals. Uncle mick has some explaining to do.

Before I begin, let my say that I have the utmost respect for John McCain, as I do for all of our military.
However, McCain’s support of amnesty for illegals is horrendous.
Simply because someone has a distinguished military record doesn’t qualify him to run the country. Yes, he’s been a senator for 30+ years, but he’s selling out the country he fought for and the constituents who voted for him by supporting “shamnesty”.

I want to see all the liberals who keep putting there feet in there mouth go south of the border on live prime time tv then give us answers. I think we should dig a 60 by 30 trench with concrete. Then build 200 feet deep 100 foot wide cannal. Use water from the colrado river and rio grande. Make hydro elctric power and use the electricity for an electrified fence. Then on the inside put a layer of chain ling fences with alligaters and siberian tigers. We will have clean streets no disease rape crime and poverty and wal mart will have to close. That will end illegal immigration and the liberals willh ave no votes and they willh ave to go to venezuela to support the rest of there socialist prick friends.
