    Everything that ails this country can be brought into perspective and tied to one single item. The 16th Amendment to The U.S. Constitution. I'm 48 years old and I have lived my entire life in slavery, how so?
    Our precious God given rights, liberties and freedoms and were sold in the middle of the night when our once participatory government decided to become the tyrant. In an act that was so criminal and so underhanded that it set the corner stone of the suedo, shadow government we have today instead of the peoples government. With income tax, the all powerful enslaving US Government gave itself the means to enslave the public economically by growing itself and stealing from the working class.
    The 16th Amendment to the Constitution was never fully or properly ratified and by 3/4 of the States. For example Pennsylvania ignored it. Many State legislatures illegally went against their own state constitutions and illegally ratified it.
    Now today you have a overbloated tax and spend hog that is incapable of balancing anything and is out of control and little by little squeezing the rights and freedoms out of the American SHEEPLE thats right sheeple, It is no longer a government of the people, by the people and for the people. It is a government of the government, by the government and for the government.
    In 1913 in the middle of the night the United States ceased to exist. it was replaced by a self serving, tyrannical and out of control PIG.
    Repeal the 16th Amendment and th egovernment will shrink back to a proper size and unable to squander out income. If any company (Eron for example) conducted business and misshandled finances like our government does, then th ecompany woudl be out of business and its executive officers in prison.
    Throw out the two party system and repeal the 16th amendment and watch how quickly freedoms torch burns again.

    Having met Ross Perot and seen his generosity towards P.O.W. M.I.A. issues, I listen when Ross speaks. The level of his Patriotism is awsome. As for his having money I believe he started with nothing and did it the old fashioned way, he earned it.!! Tell em Ross!

    We need to elect Dr. Ron Paul to cure us of our fiscal "cancer". Just last July, David Walker, the U.S. Comptroller General told CBS News that America's financial situation is like a "cancer", that if left untreated, would "have catastrophic consequences for our country". He decried that lack of information and leadership available. Well, Ron Paul does tell America the truth and he has a plan to restore our nation. Vote Ron Paul!

    What expereience does McCain have? He is an old tired Senator that has been part of the problem for 40 years, he hates Conservitive ideas, he is as liberal as Hillary, and the Liberal dinasour Media wants to shove him down our throats because Hillary/Oboma a muslim will kill him in general election, McCain Kennedy amnesty bill, Mc Cain Feingold which destroyed the first amendment free political speech, enough said he is a bleeding heart liberal through and through, he even voted against Tax cuts and was part of the gang of 14 inclunding the likes of of senator Gramnisty and the rest of the turncoat RHINO republicans, he is the worst GOP candidate, and will never vote for him!

    • Posted By: im.thatoneguy @ 01/27/2008 7:46:56 PM

      I know this may shock and amaze you but sometimes one solution doesn't solve all problems. I wouldn't vote for McCain but I do respect that he at the very least looks at every problem and tries to find a solution to it beyond the "book of solutions" written by the Party 25 years ago.

      Sometimes tax cuts are bad. Sometimes tax cuts are good. To suggest otherwise is pure ignorance.

      I know it's scary to think you might not know the answer to every problem but when you grow up you'll understand.

    • Posted By: caveman @ 01/17/2008 6:09:24 PM

      You are wrong my friend about McCain. All the points you just made show he is willing to take on hard issues that face our country. On finance reform he stuck his neck out there because he was tired of the corruption. Maybe the bill was not perfect but he did SOMETHING. Others just play kick the can and do nothing. As far as the illegal immigrant issue, he again tried with pres Bush to do something in the right direction. Its too easy to say throw them all out of the US. Try to walk in another mans shoes for a change

      • Posted By: DanNC @ 01/17/2008 10:11:57 PM

        When you consider the amount of time that both McCain and Paul have been in Washington, and the sorry state that this country is in now, you have to wonder about their effectiveness. Their age also goes against them. It just doesn't make any sense to entrust them with the Presidency. Of all the candidates, Romney stands out as the one who has been successful in all of his endeavors.

    Immigration:
    Solution: If Americans did not hire illegal immigrants there would not be a problem.
    Actively prosecute those who hire illegal???s with a minimum sentence of 1 year without reduction of time for any reason. End of immigration problem!

    Afghanistan:
    Solution: Aerial spray all Poppy plant fields to kill the plants. Loss of drug money would significantly reduced holy war efforts by terrorist. Teach farmers in Afghanistan to grow other crops that would sustain them.

    Iraq: Solution:
    Take enough of their oil to pay for the expenses of our efforts to help them. Leave immediately upon getting at least ?? of our money back ??? there is no viable solution!
    Begin immediately to drill for oil in the Gulf of Mexico and Alaska. Begin immediately to build 5 new refineries in the US. Reduce our foreign oil dependence from the current 60% to 20% within the next 10 years ??? make it our National Goal- agreed upon by Congress and the President.

    • Posted By: im.thatoneguy @ 01/27/2008 7:42:17 PM

      Immigration: Problem - illegal immigrants often have good false documents. Impossible for employers sometimes to determine if individual is immigrant or not. Also increased paperwork and increased cost to businesses as well as an increase in the size of the government to enforce. All contrary to the conservative agenda. Human rights activists would also point out that this would leave only one choice for businesses: don't risk hiring latinos.

      Afghanistan: Problem - Farmers turn to Taliban for support in order to feed their families. We lose war.

      Iraq: Problem - Iraqis are incensed that the foreign invaders are stealing their oil revenues and insurgency resurfaces. Iraq devolves into failed state controlled by the extremists. Even worse than leaving now.

      Drilling in Alaska: Problem - Oil doesn't show up for 10-20 years in the economy by which point it's pretty much useless.

      Problem: People who think that every world problem has a really simple, easy to understand solution and Rush Limbaugh knows it. That the world isn't a complicated place with varrying shades of gray which often can't be solved by common sense and a highschool education.

    In response to douggie:

    Your racism appals me. You have suggested that "terrorist" and "muslim" are synonymous by stating that terrorist objectives could be achieved by the United States electing a muslim president. Secondly, you have no evidence that Senator Obama is a muslim, and even if he were, why is that a problem. Have you considered that instead of "appeasing the black community", he may be a candidate because he is eloquent, intelligent, and an effective leader with progressive ideas. This country was founded on religious freedom, not zealotry and hatred. A question: Have you heard Senator Obama speak, or are you assuming his positions on issues based on what others have said about him? Please post a response...

    • Posted By: soldier @ 01/18/2008 9:17:19 AM

      Why do you crybaby liberals always play the racism card? It must be formost in your guilty minds. I think Douggie has the defensive stance of an American patriot. Perhaps you should read the quaran. All muslims read the same book. Whos side will the "moderate" muslims be on when the "radical" muslims bring this holy war to our soil. Will you look at your muslim neighbors the same? Who cares what color an inexperienced 3yr. senator is? Terrorists' objectives could be achieved by us electing a muslim pres. Do you want to take the chance that obama's heart is in the right place? What if Douggie is right and we elect obama. oops. Hell, let's just re-elect Bill. Then we can let them blow up more of N.Y. like in 93. Bill is very elequent. Since when is that an attribute for which we should choose our leader? THis country was founded on Christian beliefs by CHristians searching for freedoms to worship Jesus in their own way. this country was certainly founded with zealotry-- look it up. Are ther no other candidates with progressive ideas? Have you listened to all of them? Do you like the IRS? In its beginning the IRS was a progressive idea, as were many other mistakes our government has gambled on. Sure, we need a change. Change is a gamble. But we must consider the risk involved. Huck and Paul are for an end to the IRS. Hooray! Now close the borders and concentrate on fixing our problems at home.

        This land mass was settled by religious zealots but secular humanists crafted the government known now as the United States of America.

        Let's not confuse our founding fathers with the motley lot of fortune seekers, prisoners and religious pariahs that happened to settle here first.

      • Posted By: LetsReason @ 01/19/2008 2:06:13 PM

        I'm curious why you two believe he is a Muslim when he says he isn't. On the same reasoning, should I discount all the other candidates because I want them to fit into any preconceived ideas I might have?

        Damn, people. You scrounge up a picture snapped before he puts his hand to his heart (surely he is smart enough to know it would cause issues he would have to deal with). But you cannot find any pictures of him in traditional Muslim dress kneeling at a mosque?!

        And your idiotic statement and implication, "All muslims read the same book" is really convenient for you right now. How about the 100,000s and millions who participated in the Crusades that resulted in the murder and death of many? Those Christians all read the same book. Oh wait, at that time, they did not educate their followers or write the text in a language they could read...even if they could read.

        Pick your time and pick your history to suite YOUR needs. How convenient. Listen to what the candidates say, not what any idiot with a computer can rumor about on the internet.

  • Posted By: bambam @ 01/18/2008 10:31:41 AM

    The Obama scandal is real, but it was explained wrong in that original bogus email. The hand over heart picture has nothing to do with the pledge of allegiance. That part of the story is an internet lie. But the picture DOES really show what was happening during the playing of the national anthem, and it is still valid documentation that Obama has some kind of personal issue with respecting this nation. Explain why every other person on that stage knew to put their hand over their heart. And it remains a REAL scandal that Obama did not. Its also a violation of the US flag code. I don't accept Obama's excuse that his grand-pappy taught him to sing instead, or any other lame excuse. The other people on that stage knew what to do, and Obama is not a dumb guy. The photo says it all. The national anthem is playing, and our prominent government figures are placing their hands over their hearts... except for Obama who chose to show his respect for our national anthem by placing his hands over his crotch. To me that is a subtle way of disrespecting this nation, its traditions, and its honor for which Obama remains unapologetic.

    • Posted By: LetsReason @ 01/19/2008 1:50:27 PM

      I find it entertaining how someone can write some 250 words tearing a guy down, suggest everyone else should do the research he has and then erroneously explain EVERYTHING. US flag code (which means absolutely nothing these days) and the National Anthem (that supposedly they are singing in the picture) are not connected. I hear the National Anthem played and I am directed by US Flag code to stand and put my hand over my heart? Get real. There is no scandal. The man can be one of the best presidents in the history of the country and never have put his hand over he heart for the Pledge of Allegiance or the singing of the National Anthem.

      It is simply FOOLISH to think that someone's value, intentions and worth are derived from whether they comply with the preconceived notions of what makes a person patriotic and good. Vote for what you think the man can and will do for the country. You'd rather be fooled by a facade than an honest person.

      Is it possible he raised his hand to his heart after the shutter was snapped? Someone help this country.

      • Posted By: bambam @ 01/21/2008 12:01:27 PM

        You are reaching for straws trying hard to overlook obvious problems. There was no "shutter" moment missing Obama suddenly becoming patriotic. There is video of the whole event on the internet. Not just a momentary photo. You can actually hear the national anthem (if your ears were open) and you can see that Obama never showed a hint of the patriotism shown by everyone else on that state (if your eyes are open), and you can understand the conflicting spin Obama's camp is trying to put on this episode that just doesn't add up (if your brain was working). But since you have chosen to ignore any logical review of this issue, and choose to follow Obama right or wrong because your talking points were written that way, then there is no helping you. For those of us who have served in the military, and who have actually done the work to protect our freedoms, we need to be as concerned about Obama's allegiances as his blindly forgiving minions.

          Oops double post. Stupid servers.

          Also since I assume you're a Christian I'll give you a little bit of biblical chastising as well since that (Besides Rush Limbaugh and the good preacher man on TV) is the only thing you'll listen to:

          Matthew 6:5
          ???When you pray, you are not to be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on the street corners so that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full. "
          - Jesus

          Just so we're clear: Obama (with some of the highest payed consultants in the world) *decided* to do something publicly to show the american people how much he disrespects us? Does that sound like a good strategy to get elected? All he would have to do is just put his hand on his heart for 12 months and put on a smile and salute the flag and he's elected. But no. Obama is so unpatriotic and such an American Hater Commie Islamo Fascist that he let some of his true loyalties out at a rally. Wow! He is dedicated to hating America.

          Right that's going to go a long way towards getting one's self elected.

          What if he had put his hand on his heart but not taken off his hat? Does that mean intellectually he disrespects America but in his heart still believes there is good?

          What if he had forgotten to stand but took off his hat and put his hand on his heart. Does that mean he loves the country but he wouldn't stand up to defend it?

          Let me guess when you get home from work and don't kiss your spouse they instantly assumes you did it out of disrespect and are having an affair?

        LetsReason ought to be changed to "LetsGetAClue" because this episode was not only captured on a shutter camera, but was filmed with video and sound. You can hear the national anthem in the background (if your ears work) and can see Obama never lift a hand towards his heart like everyone else during the entire duration (if your eyes work). However since you are so ready to dismiss the whole thing because you imagine the camera just happened to miss Obama suddenly becoming patriotic, then your brain just doesn't work. If Obama is supposed to be such a smart guy, and did the wrong thing here, and is unapologetic for it even now... then what really IS his problem with displaying the same patriotism as eveyrone else running for President? Perhaps if you served in the military you would be more aware of tradition, as well as loyalty to the flag and everything it stands for. The liberal left is always so willing to do cartwheels finding excuses for their favorites rather than EVER holding someone acountable for their own actions. Pathetic.

    • Posted By: Not fooled by the liberal media! @ 01/18/2008 11:15:29 AM

      I agree, 100%! Very scary, and very telling that he DID NOT put his hand over his heart when everybody else did! Scary that there is a large section of Americans who will vote for him without looking into his background! And scarier yet, that people will call you a Nazi, just because you want to educate yourself about a candidate!

      • Posted By: im.thatoneguy @ 01/27/2008 4:53:58 PM

        Everybody properly saluted Hitler. I guess they were all good Germans.

        Because what's important is not their executive abilities or character but how good they are at performing patriotic rituals.

      • Posted By: LetsReason @ 01/19/2008 1:54:59 PM

        One of the key historical points of the Nazi movement during Hitler's reign was that "If you do not agree with me, then you must be a traitor." From the looks of it, sounds very applicable here. We have no idea what Obama did after the picture was snapped or the music was even playing. Your reasoning, and the reasoning of your other identity, is flawed and I sure hope people voting do a better job of looking at who a person is rather than falling in line with propoganda.

    John McCain who wants to give blanket amnesty to 20 million illegal alien multiple-felony criminals (crossing the border twice is a felony, as is identity theft) who don't respect our laws, our language, our culture, or our sovereignty, should have his name spelled in the language of those he serves:

  • Posted By: djaycarey @ 01/22/2008 2:45:21 PM

    I was a POW with John McCain in Hanoi for 5 and 1/2 years. I personally do not know of any of my fellow POWs bad mouthing John in any way. (That doesn't mean we all agree with everything he says, either.)

    John has served his country honorably for years and it is my hope that he will also serve as our President. I would be proud and honored to sit at the same table with him - anytime!

    Ross Perot has been a wonderful friend and supporter of all of the POWs who served in Vietnam. I admire and respect him, and am grateful to him for his dedication and support. Ross is however wrong in this instance. I am sorry to see him take such action. And I am very sorry to see his choice of timing.

  • Posted By: retiredgranny @ 01/19/2008 3:27:20 PM

    I was teaching Government, World History and American History in Texas when Perot ran for President. I was a registered Republican at that time, BUT when Perot made the pronouncement that when he was elected, he would make sure the Senate would do what he told them or he would fire them. Since I was teaching Government, I did understand that he did not understand how the Constitution of the United States worked and that as President was not the CEO of the US and could fire elected officials at will. As a result, I did not vote for him or the Republican.
    By the way, his landmark school reforms were instituted under his 'leadership' in a less than 10 day special Legislative Session, completed less than a month before school opened, and we had to implement ALL of them that school year. There were some things that were good, such as the NO-PASS NO-PLAY but we had to completely rewrite curriculum to the state curriculum that was designed by non-educators who had no idea what we could do within their framework. That was also the year of the "Teachers' Exam" that would show who were competent teachers. I am a graduate of Purdue Univerisity and I resented taking what amounted to a literacy test..and the cost to the state and to the morale of the teachers. Less than 3 percent of the teachers failed the test.
    Ross Perot is an excellent businessman but he does wear blinders when anything is not to his liking or desires.

    • Posted By: LetsReason @ 01/21/2008 11:40:00 AM

      Thank you for your input for a couple reasons: Simply put, it made sense and it points out a very tangible byproduct of headstrong businessmen. He would not be the first example of a successful businessman assuming, "I was successful here so if I apply what I did here to there, that will be successful too."

      Please don't worry about any typos here. Your point and writing is so coherent that you could mistype 50% of the words and it would be a delight to read in the midst of the drivel that some put here.

      It is too bad that successful people like Perot (don't get me wrong, some do) are often not able to stand back an attack the new task with fresh eyes. Sometimes the lose contact with exactly what the qualities were that actually changed their environment and world???their fervor, insight to the problem at hand, persistence, character. Instead they often get headstrong and assume that they have somehow tapped into the Pandora's box of knowledge and now can fix everything by doing the same things again.

      Thanks for posting.

    Lets reason! You don't even have a reason. This country was founded on Christian belief. You can reason that out by reading the constitution or gradeschool books. I don't care what obama claims to be today. He went to a muslim (kill the infadels-- that's us) school, and his dad is a muslim. That's enough for me. I say close borders to terrorist countries and deport muslims. People who don't believe in JesusChrist the living God do not believe in a god. They believe in the only true God. I wouldn't vote for anyone who is not Christian. They would probably be devoid of morals and common sense like "Lets reason". Believe it or not this country is still predominately Christian and I would like to keep it that way. Who the hell is ron paul? nevermind. Read history on the worldwide liberal movement. It is really the communist agenda. Start with the revalution in Russia in the early 1900s. Liberal governments are the only ones the communists can take without force. It takes a few elections but it works. That is what happened to Russia and now England. With the help of some whining liberals in the U.S. we'll be next . Praise Jesus. Huck for pres.

    • Posted By: LetsReason @ 01/19/2008 2:39:16 PM

      Let me understand your convenient reasoning: In one post you are claiming this country was based on Christian beliefs and another you are derailing people as racist yet ignore that history shows these "Christian Founding Fathers" were slave owners. Don't worry, we'll let your idiocy on that topic go this time.

      "He went to a muslim (kill the infadels-- that's us) school, and his dad is a muslim." Hmm. a child sent to a school then becomes connected to his parents' decision for the rest of his life. That he decided to be Christian makes no difference to you. That he gets on his knees and prays to God, as the Christian bible explains him, makes no difference to you. He stepped foot in a Muslim school and he is a terrorist, according to your stupi...reasoning. People cannot convert to Christianity, according to soldier person here. I'd hate to have you actually READ the bible you are touting. It might give you a complex.

His farther is still a Muslim, you can't change your stripes of your past!

    go god. ra ra ra. When this joker (soldier.. [for what, I wonder]) says close the borders to all non-Christians, how is that any different to any tyrannical governance in any time. This guy is a moron. By moron, I mean un-intelligent.
    This train of thought is a scourge and should be fought; unfortunately, the way to fight it is education, that same education that is grossly under funded here in the states.
    Huck has no clue how to deal with economics, only how to preach. It is a shame that this individual has a voice. It is not the liberals who bring countries down. It is any one demographic forcing its own will on the others. This nation is great because of its diversity, and its unity; united on the shared concept of freedom.
    We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty, to ourselves and our posterity???
    That is the roll of the government. Not to choose which god to worship, and whose god should be in charge. This moron must not know too much about his own religious beliefs??? The last I heard, Jesus was a Jew. The last I heard, all Christian sects believe in the Old Testament, interestingly, so does the Muslims. They all share the one true god. Whether they admit it or not, the only argument is who his son is, and who his prophets are. The fundamentals, the Judeo ethic hold true in all.
    So, by all means continue to display for all, your complete lack of insight.

    • Posted By: soldier @ 01/17/2008 7:56:07 PM

      I knew that would bring more of you whining liberals out of the closet! Pun intended. Firstly, I did not say "close the borders to non-Christians" You said that. I said close the borders to terrorist countries. How you misconstrued terrorist defense or Christianity to equal racism must be due to your esteemed education. I would vote for Condi if she was on the ballot. The only thing I have against obama is his possible link to terrorist beliefs. Look up JIHAD bonehead. We're the target. The only good thing about obama is that he might keep hitlary (pun intended) off the ballot. Diversity is the name of an organization that you probably belong to. Moslums believe in that "same god" theory as a means of conversion to islam. Jews and Christians do not believe this. Uneducated, diverse liberals like to believe this so they have no reason to believe at all. It's easier. Who do you think John McCain was praying to aboard his burning craft, drowning and beat up, or in prison?It wasn't allah or god. It was God. I'm glad his prayers were answered. That does not mean he would make a better pres. I think Perot is vengeful and licking old wounds. He would could have balanced the budget but probably not much more. If Perot did help Clinton get into the whitehouse, he caused more harm than if he had been elected himself. If my posts are offensive to you, you must fit some of my offensive descriptions fo the very people bringing this country to ruin. Stand up for yourself instead of letting somebody else(or your government handouts) do it for you. Soldier for Christ and patriot for America. Some more education wouldn't hurt your ilk at all. God bless you for all our sakes.

        No soldier. Just a person with plenty of time to write crap on a Newsweek board. I find it sad, and somewhat scary, that people look to the Bible as an answer for the existence of a god and yet are most likely 110% clueless to how it came about and the history associated with it. Fine, if believe in a god causes you to be considerate and helpful to you fellow man, by all means, read and practice it every day!! But please! Truly an idiot to put forth the "Christian" idea of god is absolutely right for no more reason than it feels good in your chest when you think about it. The Muslim who dies blowing himself/herself up is exercises universes more faith than you, soldier.

        We have a "soldier of god" in the White House now and we also have a big mess. God didn't give him all the answers, did he? And how the hell do you know what McCain did in those circumstances. Because he said so? I'd believe a fellow prisoner saying that he helped them, but your trying to get inside his head from some 40 years ago to somehow lend credence to your diatribe is just more nonsense.

    Obama SAYS he's not a Muslim. Has anyone dug deep into his backround. I have read (not just on the internet) that he has a Muslim dad, and an extremist Muslim stepdad. He, also, went to a Muslim school for a while, then later a Catholic one. This should be investigated, in detail! If this is true, the American people deserve to know! We can't TRUST what he SAYS about not being Muslim...people lie! As for McCain...he committed political suicide when he backed Kennedy's 'amnesty' plan! He is soft! We need a tough, pro American president! He's not it!

      Ok: I say you are a Nazi. Now prove to me you are not. I think we all need to dig deep in your background because now that I have said it, it is a theory we need to explore in detail before you post agin.

      Get it now? I doubt it.

        I can tell that you are the extremist! I have said nothing, other than, we should investigate this man. Extremists are the only ones who wouldn't want to do that! As for not liking McCain for him backing the amnesty bill...who wouldn't want our country to follow LAWS regarding immigration. You should stop living with blinders on! Look at all sides, and possibilities...then you will find the truth. People who jump to the NAZI name calling, usually don't have the answers.

          Dear EasilyFooledbyAnyEvidenceof Reason,
          You old goober. Stop slobbering all over this web site. Youda done real well in Nazi Germany or Stalinist Russia. "Let's investigate" based merely on accusation! Listen ya ol' goober, put away your brown shirt or we are gonna send some folks with pharmaceuticals in syringes to conduct an investigation on you!
          Sincerely,
          Hermann Goerhing

            Listen to yourself...you make me laugh! We should investigate all candidates running for President, especially those with an extremist Muslim step-dad. We would be foolish not to! By the way...the people of Nazi Germany and Stalin's Russia didn't get to investigate their leaders...some blindly followed, while others had no choice. That is WHY they ended up with such bad, horrific leaders! Again, people who argue with nothing but name calling, have no argument! Go read some books, other than hate books! Go read a book on all the good things America has done for this world!

              You are drooling on the keyboard again! Hitler was CHOSEN BY THE PEOPLE. They picked him and he ran with it. They loved it. 'Specially the way he promised to and did "investigate" them damn jews based on the "accusation" (that all those good Germans knew merited a looking into!) were looting the real Arayans of their rightful possession of the teutonic posterity. And Stalin was just the heir to the popular uprising and choice of Lenin to "investigate" all those czarist crimes. They chose these boners, dumdum. We chose Bush. Shoulda we have investigated him? Hey, I got it, sodium pentathol for all who declare their candidacy! I am likin' this already. Now, please, put your dentures back in and eat your porridge!
              Hermann G.

                People will lie and say anything for power....I'm sure Hitler didn't say he was planning on committing genocide. People, sadly, follow the new sway. I'm sure that there were plenty of people that tried to stop Hitler from getting power, but they were called' old dumdums' for not wanting him! Life tends to repeat itself. Investigating does not mean killing someone, as you put in the same category. Back in Hitler's time, people couldn't easily check on someone's upbringing. You are a person filled with hate. I feel sorry for you, and I will pray for you!

    If you want to see the intelligence reports that are "outlandish" and "untrue" about abandoned POWs in Vietnam and Laos, read An Enormous Crime, by Bill Hendon, a former Congressman and Pentagon intelligence analyst. Perot was enlisted by Kerry's and McCain's committee, then discharged. McCain is a fraud, and well knows the intelligence is very good. He has something to hide. No veteran should have anythinbg to do with him

    Ross Perot made his billions selling stuff the the military, needless to say, a very high margin business. He is about as important a politico as a fly non a horse's a__. Perot is nuttier than a pecan pie; folks who voted for him were sold a bill of goods, many of them own shares of Enron and a deed to the Brooklyn Bridge..

    Ross Perot is less important than a fly on a horse's a__. Perot is certainly nuttier than a pecan pie; and those who voted for him, well, let's say life has passed them by.
