The Politics of Arrogance

Barrack Obama is one of the most aarogant candidates the republic has seen in its history. He has no experience but struts around like he has the market cornered on common sense.

Bush - why don't we say "King George". Thats what he's acting out. Or you could say he's a cry baby - You don't give me what I want - "ill just veto it." In other words, if you give me carrots, I just won't eat them.

First of all, no one can sway you one way o the other without you allowing it. Your decisions are just that and you decide how to feel think and whatever we as a country need to take responsibility for our own actions and stop placing blame. Because in the end we vote, what is strange to me is the first part Bush's time in the white house people were complaining then and they voted him back in for the rest of the term so if Bush was so bad why did he get voted back in. We don't know all they deal with there in the White House so you don't necssarily know what Bush is doing or not. A lot of things that happen are our own faults not Bush's like Obeseity, Drugs, pregnancy, murder, homosexuality. Remember Bush is only 1 person. The war would've happened anyways, because it's obvious that Muslims/ Arabics hate Americans and we need to defnd our country and that is a responsibility to do so.. I am not a fan of war by the way but it needs to be done pulling out is a huge mistake because that will bring them here to make things worse.

It is not a regime, it is comprised of ELECTED Represenatives, If you want to fear somthing fear that we have reliquished our Reposibility to oversee these bodys inleu of satilite tv , and fast easy maels that ultimately make you sick. if you want to feel Terror, be terrorized by the fact that we have given the bulk of this resposiblity to indutsry and radical fringes,with morals and justifactions on a par with any jihadist .we seem to have raplaced WE THE PEOPLE, with me the person. when you belive that your rights outweigh your resposibilitys, you have failed your Country. P.S.you cannot be a Patriot who " Loved Their Country" the two statements condadict eachother

President Bush always has a way of saying the right thing, but his actions behind everyone's back never live up to his words, we should include some of our candidates in the Hollywood awards shows, for the actors they are, trying to sway people to their side and then failing to live up to their own expectations........I, for one, have lost my faith in our leaders right now, I feel tortured and terrorized by them.....and they say torture doesn't exist and is not used by our present regime, but I as an American citizen feel tortured by them, I can't help but feel it, and I don't see or feel anything different, I hope they prove me wrong, and reinstill my faith in my country I so very much loved and believed in.....I feel like the last true patriot who really loved what my country once stood for, but isn't now.......thank you for my opinion......Stephanie-skd500

I really do not know how to say what it is that I want to say. So, maybe I should also be a political candidate for president. I hate the war. When I was in basic training the Faulklands occured. By the time I got out of the military the 1st Bush regime was hitting the Middle East. Now I have a son almost old enough to be drafted should we keep getting our children killed, in the second Bush fiasco. I do not care about what other Nations policies are, so long as they do not hurt the United States. I am not talking about out producing us in cars or toys but actually causing dire harm. We need to clean our own laundry before we try to tell nearly 4 Billion other people how to live. With the insurance, homeownership, homeless, drug traffic, pedofileodicy nation that we must all contend with how the hell do we have gull to think we can guide others lives. You say the candidates are soft or do not want to appear that way. I say we have lost sight of what this Country was based on. I am so very angry at this moment that I want to make terrible threats and say the worst kind of things about my Government and Country. Though, I will not, because that will get US; see that word U.S. , you know "us": U.S. , us, together we stand, divided we fall. I do not care if my neighbor is a Jew, Italian, Mexican, German or Hillbilly from WV. If we cannot find a way to Unite and stand together and quit being guided by Greed and Fear, we are going to fall at least, and parish at worst. You want to really be a patriot? Then let the Moral Majority, and the DemaGods, and Republirants know that we are way passed on what guild holds the house. That how we as Free Americans can hold our heads high in a world that is willing to fly a plan into the Office Building YOU work in. Don't you get it. Our Government has made too many mistakes and cannot risk any admission of Guilty. We have Built Wars, Famine, Hatred, Paranioa and down right Deception and called them the Righteous way to Live. Though that one truth alone may cost us the most valuable prize of all, Our Freedom. Afraid, please continue to be as you vote in November for people who rely on Money, the devils hand to get elected. He who pays the most has my vote. Just be sure that the next time you Vote it is not with your Life.

I do believe humility is something that should be strongly stressed, I can clearly see that all the Democratic candidates are full of crap and are only in in for themselves and not our country. I would dissagree on the fact that people think Bush is arrogant and he's not trying to be he's standing up for what he believes in and I think America is afraid of that because of the simple fact that if their belief system is different than yours the you are basing your decision on the fact that you don't like them becausethey dissagree with you that's what's going on and that's a major issue. First decide if self is right and take a good look at self before you jump in and say someone is arrogant because it could be a false judgement which American citizens are good for. There are many candadites that are in it for the glory and nothing else. Not being president but jst to have the name.

First and foremost, I am tired of ignorance and arrogant. Truth of the matter is is that if the war was fought on the battlefield and not from behind a desk, we would have the bastards who did this to us in the first place. No one would say we're doing the wrong thing at home, our candidates wouldn't have a case against one another except for what we have to take care of here at home. I say bring every one of our troops home, tell every other country that you are on your own, but don't mess with us. Or, get this war away from a desk and let them do what they were trained to do, DEFEND OUR FREEDOM!!!

Fighting the wimp factor was only a factor as a result of H.W.'s own insecurity as a man, who was in a position of power, perhaps the most powerful in the world. Perhaps because he knew the true power came from his wife, the woman who owns the fact of being a woman is the powerful and has much humility because of the fact she does not lose her feminity of being woman. When man is able to be as a woman he can become a man, and not before. Power comes from within and outside of oneself, man has the most difficulty with this as a result of being powerless over woman, hence the extremists views on the female form and the need to cover it up in some religious dogma, which has always come from man. Fear is the factor in all of this, fear of woman and fear of fear itself, which is most likely where Rosevelt got it, especially knowing what we know of his wife...

Hillary Clinton is a great example, along with the speaker of the house, of what happens when woman gives up her natural power of woman, which happens when woman tries to be a man, whom they think has the power, it is like the catch 22 in a way, feminity comes with being a powerful woman, hence the fear some men have of a feminine woman. Bill Clinton is powerless over Hillary because he thinks she has power, which is where all the errors have come about, and why she stays with an idiot...

Arrogance comes only from ignorance, period.

Perhaps a job advertisement for President of the United States might read; "Wanted, Captain for leaky raft stranded unknown distance up *** Creek without paddle or GPS." Humility, yes. But perhaps even more we need leaders who do not mind wading in a lot of ***.

15% prefers humble as proper ethical modern democratique and diplomatic policies to 85 % to thinks arrogance is a sign or sexyness. let them market their target ..

in theory the stock boy doesnt get promoted to manager, but reality shows they do. the sales person that can t sale, is often sales manager. al gore lost because he was cheated and bought out! and what with arrogance? i like arrogant. i dont know why americans fl;atter themselves in thinking they are arrogant.

Personally, I don't mind if a politician is arrogant as long as he or she brings the goods to the table. I'm tired of Americans voting for candidates based off of what they hear them say all along their campaign trail. If people want some insight as to what a candidate might do if elected, all they need to do is review what they have accomplished in the past. If America would have done that in the first place, we would have President Gore and more than likely things would be a little better. Also, the idea that if a candidate uses big words and talks about things that some people don't understand is labled as elitist or a *** is completey backwards. There are lots of good ol' boys in this country that have no idea what a leader is saying unless he speaks like the current president....those people need to grow up and read a book. I suppose this whole current fiasco can be written off as an experiment: What if we elect someone who's track record shows that they would be a pretty bad leader. Should the dumb stockboy who always messes up and takes too many breaks be promoted to manager? I don't think so.

newsweek5000- you had some very good points. Why dont more Nations step up and take responsibility. I would be interested in continuing this discussion as a later date.

I Guess everyone is gone, or have run out of things to say
