One thing that troubles me is what his specific stand is on abuses like the Patriot Act. Still, I will be happy with ANY Dem in the White House, even Hillary, come next year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11753985.post-74586014181766499052008-01-04T21:25:00.000-06:002008-01-04T21:25:00.000-06:00I have reservations about Obama, but am impressed ...I have reservations about Obama, but am impressed that he has opposed the war from the start. Hillary and John Edwards can't make that claim. I was smelling a rat from the very first back in 2002, and couldn't imagine why more people didn't do the same. I was astonished when the Congress gave Bush a blank check by such a wide margin. Hil and JE will always carry a stain for that. Maybe it's time for somebody who hasn't been so much part of the Beltway BS to lead the Democratic Party.Manifesto Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06521151220297061304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11753985.post-87426132370492776932008-01-04T16:19:00.000-06:002008-01-04T16:19:00.000-06:00I must say, Ron Paul is appealing to me on many le...I must say, Ron Paul is appealing to me on many levels. He makes it clear that he'll promptly end the Iraq War and get the U.S. involved in no other overseas military adventures. That alone makes him intriguing as a candidate.<BR/>And as for his wacky ideas on abolishing Social Security, the FDA, the EPA, etc.---well, there's no need to fear, as he'd never get very far along those lines. Hell, ALL the GOP hopefuls would abolish, or privatize, Social Security if they could get away with it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
