Too bad all the dumb liberal teenagers who only democratic because it's the popular thing to do for them are unknowingly going to ruin this country. Between Obama and Hillary, I'd rather live in a shack in guam before having the satanic, socialistic, communist b**** be my president. She is a physical representation of everything that is wrong with this country and will drive it straight into the ground. It's sad that the soldiers are over there fighting for something that is going to be as terrible as it is if she wins and they can't do anything about it. Honestly I can't say the same about obama, but he doesn't seem as bad, and if a Dem wins, please god let it be him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-250975110371077460.post-91363962251884958412008-01-29T22:09:00.000-05:002008-01-29T22:09:00.000-05:00I agree the south is holding this country back the...I agree the south is holding this country back these racist republican morons need to get a life and let this country go forward.

I hope to heck people wake up and work their brains on this before November. Ron Paul has the edge in his dogged commitment to the Constitution, that is so rare in Washington. Obama has the edge in his view of "a nation whole".

Over 8 years, Reagan grew the number of federal employees per thousand population only slightly (8% over 8 years); quite a feat, but nowhere near as good as the -shrinking- accomplished by Bush Sr. or Clinton. See http://www.reason.com/news/show/30044.html ... Even worse, Reagan's administration increased federal spending per capita by 2.33%, compared to Clinton's 0.81%. See: http://www.libertyunbound.com/archive/2004_10/bradford-reagan.html ... Given this retrospection, Reagan's commitment to small government seems more like an empty campaign promise and less like a "vision."<BR/><BR/>The comparison between Obama and Reagan lies more in the charisma and leadership portrayed by both men; on that front, it's an apt comparison.Zach Nationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04882560052763562090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-250975110371077460.post-57489639718633943922008-01-29T12:42:00.001-05:002008-01-29T12:42:00.001-05:00Dude grow up, you do realize we're in the 21st cen...Dude grow up, you do realize we're in the 21st century now??
