That is sooooo stupid.
I'm not saying it's not true, it's just really stupid that people would feel that way.

I'm assuming that those who would assasinate Powell, but am not sure, as you might think this thread is stupid.
Maybe you mean the 15-30% of Americans who believe some sort of US gov't conspiracy around 9/11 and the war on terror. A la this week's Southpark episodeOriginally Posted by MJZiggy
I can see that you're bored. Of course I am saying that anyone who would think to assasinate a qualified leader on the color of his skin is an absolute moron. The problem is that there are a few of them out there. I personally think that Powell would make a very good president and the fact that he even has to think about something like that troubles me.

I agree - but the president (regardless of skin color, etc) receives plenty of threats on a daily basis - for simply being the president.Originally Posted by MJZiggy
I too like Powell but reserve a vote of confidence until he either announces his intention or discusses his positions. It's pretty obvious he followed orders well - he could have been a great leader if he'd taken a slightly less aggressive approach during his case for war speech to the UN (he took 4 days to research CIA reports and used unreliable data to increase the WMD debate).
I don't think Powell has the "power-trip ego" and has no desire to be president.
On the Dems side, Big Bill Richardson will be a player, he has a good record and would get the Hispanic vote.

richardson would probably be a great VP, bringing the swing states in the southwest and the hispanic vote. there was a belief out there during the 04 election that he wasn't picked for VP because he had some skeletons in the closet.Originally Posted by Badgepack
Probably not for 2008, but Barack Obama will be a player in 2012 if Dems don't take the White House in 2008. He seems to be well respected and from what I see and hear so far is pretty impressive.

Isn't the Democratic party more notorious for voting irregularities? I know it makes Dems feel better to pin the blame for every wrong onto Republicans, but this is a tad much. And they wonder why they've haven't been getting the Independent vote.Originally Posted by red
Dems want everyone to vote--even those that haven't a clue about what they are voting on. Let's let the bums vote... maybe even some dead people... Mickey Mouse can vote a couple of times... why not some illegal immigrants... we'll promise them some favors and they'll vote for us.
I love the Dem struggle to allow people to vote without identification. Why not just make your slogan "We love voter fraud! Now he's a pack of cigarettes to vote straight ticket Democrat you fucking bum. Go on, and when you come back, we'll put you on a different shuttle to a different polling place. Let every voice be heard!"Culture of anonymity my ass.Originally Posted by HarveyWallbangers
Maybe we can get Sowande Ajumoke Omokunde to go out slashing tires on voting shuttles again, hey? Oh, I forgot, that was just a "prank gone wrong" according to the Dem DA. Some fucking prank - stopping several hundred people from voting against his crazy-ass, dim witted, fashion-retarded mom. Real funny stuff.
