Kucinich doesn't stand a chance because he's become commedians' punching bag. Obama is a frontrunner. Tha name Tancredo just doesn't ring a bell with me.



I'm definitely going to have to read up on Alan Keyes.

No doubt about it. Zeal is definately not a socially acceptable trait here in the US any more, at least not for anything deep or meaningful.

Did you get to see any of the Republican debates that were on Wed.?

No, I didn't. I only watch about 30 minutes to an hour of TV each day. the rest of my time is spent with lesson plans & such.

What were the highlights?

Boring Boring Boring. :wah: The moderator was a real grinch, and wouldn't let them speak. The news anchor and the others on his panel felt Huckabee won the debate, however a studio audience they had on hand felt Romney won. I recorded the debate since I wasn't home to watch it, just watched it the other night.

Here's a link to youtube. The link is the first part, the other parts can be found clicking on more under the user's id.

Does this go towards reinforcing your non-conformist credentials?

Best match for you and Sheryl 58%, everyone else, 80% to 95%

That's called having you own ideas :-6

I take that as a high compliment. Thank you.

Okay...I have never heard of Tom or Duncan....but I'll take #4....I like Allan Keyes...

I haven't been paying close attention, because frankly politics get on my nerves, but I like Mr. Keyes, that would be very interesting if he won!:D

OMG Wendy :wah: I watched him in the debate, he's a very eloquent speaker, just more interested pointing out the faults of the other candidates, rather than offer his plan or opinion.

Tancredo is a Congressman from California I do believe. It's either there or Colorado.

OOOPS....well, I haven't seen him in a few years (like um what 4 or 8...bah who's counting??), I was hoping he didn't do that...that is one thing that burns my buttocks! Yes, I said buttocks....

Nevermind then, I'm moving to Canada...screw it!:driving:

:wah: Ok I'll start referring you to WonderMoose then.



He made some good points, but seemed like he believed all problems in the U.S. were due to the way politicians promoted themselves and raised their campaign funds. Which I could understand on some points, but it being the reason for lack in national security I couldn't wrap my head around.

Seems that the debaters might be interested in this again.

Hi Accountable,

I'm really glad you posted this. I just took the quiz and...my best candidate does not exist ("Ideal Candidate" 100%) Ron Paul came in at 50% and the candidate I was so firm in choosing for president came in DEAD LAST! I like to think I'm a responsible voter and this was an eye opener. I have some serious research to do.
