I'm old enough to remember when the gas crises hit and gas went from 30 cents to over a dollar ......... how the oil companies said it wasn't their fault and brought in experts to say that the earth was running out of oil etc etc etc .......... please don't tell me that when their profits are greater than any other company at anytime in the world ............ if you believe the above then I bet the easter bunny will be real good to you tooo ......

Well if your going to bash the guy get the facts right. The scandle involving Enron took place from around 1995 to late 2000 as they cooked the books to make it look like everything was just fine with the company. Then in 2000/2001 the sh%^ hit the fan and the company went bankrupt. So if your going to but that on any pres. it has to be Clinton because Bush took office in 2001 after the Co. had allready cooked its books.

that is true, the sarbanes oxley act was passed into law during bush's presidency. the act now makes top officials in a company liable for their actions.

Socialism is on the agenda.
Vote against her, don't care who, just vote against her.

I don't want the gov't to do a damm thing for me except get outta my way, get outta my life and get outta my pocket, and one way or another Reps and Dems do a whole lot of all THREE ... because that's what they're in BUSINESS to do ... spendin' time standin' on one sideline or the other, cheerin' on either of the party favorites is like rootin' for the rapist or the robber...do ya wanta be raped or robbed??...cause w/either, yer gonna get one or the other...

If we'll all take our heads outta the sands of partisan politics and start thinkin, and votin' for ourselves, we can get control of our lives and this country back in our own hands instead of givin' it up to a bunch of lilly-livered con-artists posin' as govt leaders and their lobbyist handlers...

Well...that's probably enough for now...

Reel,

I couldn't agree with you more. Unfortuantely people do not spend the time to understand what each candidate is about they vote based upon old party ideals that do not mean anything anymore. Poltician change their viewpoint at the drop of a hat to suit the environment, there is no conviction. RP is a libertarian which is where I stand (less government more privatization) but unfortuantely i believe voting for him may allow Clinton to move in. A health care system run by the government would be the worst thing that ever happened to this country. The crooks would eat it up and no one would be satisfied.
