<p>For one thing, the Clinton years of a moderate Democrat President coupled with a Republican Congress did pretty well I think.</p>
<p>For a second thing,
[Battle</a> for Congress Suddenly Looks Competitive](<a href=“Battle for Congress Suddenly Looks Competitive”>Battle for Congress Suddenly Looks Competitive) with the Democrats now leading the Republicans by just 3 percentage points, 48% to 45%, in voters’ “generic ballot” preferences for Congress. This is down from consistent double-digit Democratic leads seen on this measure over the past year.</p>
<p>When analyzing “likely voters”… As a result, Republican candidates now lead Democratic candidates among likely voters by 5 percentage points, 50% to 45%.
:eek:</p>
<p>:) Hahaha
While I do admire Ron Paul…get real. He’s not going to win. It’s either going to be McCain or Obama. If you don’t care that you aren’t going to tip the scale…well.. :D</p>
<p>This was stupid back in 2001 and 2002 when the Bushies were propagating it, but it’s downright imbecilic nowadays. This woman is a pre-programmed moron.</p>

False???..in her own words. (Quote From Wired Science)</p>
<p>Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin wants creationism taught in science classes.</p>
<p>In a 2006 gubernatorial debate, the soon-to-be governor of Alaska said of evolution and creation education, “Teach both. You know, don’t be afraid of education. Healthy debate is so important, and it’s so valuable in our schools. I am a proponent of teaching both.” </p>
<p>* "Palin has not pushed for teaching creationism in Alaska’s schools. She has said that students should be allowed to ‘debate both sides’ of the evolution question, but she also said creationism ‘doesn’t have to be part of the curriculum.’'*</p>
<p>I believe socialists should move out of America…as a matter of personal preference. Of course, as a matter of principle, that would be an egregious policy to push.</p>
<p>To the matter of creationism, I was taught intelligent design, I didn’t turn out like Russell Brand, Woopi Goldberg, or Gloria Steinem… :D</p>
<p>Similarly, McCain supporters clearly believe in impartiality, while Obama supporters are outrageously more likely to impose their beliefs, regardless of principle.</p>

<p>Yes, I believe you were taught creationism. sigh! But I don’t want your religon taught in science class. I would like your creationism taught in your church. Novel concept.</p>

<p>Oh goody, another Ivy League-educated member of the bourgeoisie (sorry to borrow a Communist term) Gee, I’m so surprised that a CollegeConfidential member thinks that academic excellence (supported by a bloomin’ Harvard diploma) is the perfect qualification for a potential POTUS. </p>
<p>Hasn’t it been that way for the past, I don’t know, 3 POTUSes? Hmm, three Yale graduates in a row. And now comes the child of two school workers, who attended a public university. And she is being criticised for that. What do you guys want? </p>
<p>PS. Now, I know that many Republican politicians graduated from the Ivy League, but we’re just talking about Palin here.</p>
<p>Well, the point about intelligent design is 2 points..
Just because she believes creationism should be taught doesn’t mean she will.
So what if creationism is taught in school? We’re taught medicine, biology, geosciences, and many other things with many parameters that are susceptible to be wrong. Why hate on something that most believe in?</p>
<p>If I am not mistaken, she has already said that she thinks the war is justified, so does John McCain. She let her son join the war effort, so I assume she supports it. You obviously don’t think so, so don’t vote for her. Anybody who can search the internet or who watches the politics of the election, can surmise that she supports the war. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>She obviously will not support a timetable because McCain does not, she will agree with him.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>This is the most ridiculous attack on her. A) As a VP or even president she cannot affect the education within america, because education is handled on a state basis, not a federal one, B) If she does so what? It does not matter. A person’s beliefs do not impact their ability to be a leader, C) if beliefs matter, then we shouldn’t elect Muslims, or Jews, or Christians or even Atheists, because they have BELIEFS, which do not impact their ability to be a leader.</p>
<p>I would much rather know how she will lead our country to enery independence. </p>
<p>Another thing is that she said she wanted to teach both. Does that mean she is against evolution? No. She wants to allow ppl to decide.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Okay. And Illnois has no geographic advantage as well. Obama’s foreign policy is being the chair of a subcommitte on Europe, which never met and making a trip to other countries. Big woop. </p>
<p>Sarah Palin has traveled to Kuwait and Iraq, before she was running for national office. Why? To see about how better to serve the national guard, not to garner news and seem presidential.</p>
<p>Easy I will give Obama’s answer:
“Obama spoke up for mayors everywhere, saying their job is among the “toughest” in the country. “While we yak in the Senate, they actually have to fill potholes and trim trees and make sure the garbage is taken away,” he said.”</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Same as McCain’s</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Same as McCain’s</p>
<p>Really what do you want to ask her? Policy issues, she will be the same as McCain, except for ANWR and climate change. This really is a non-issue, she even interviewed with Gibson. The whole thing is a hope that she will make a mistake so Obama can gain, but she won’t, all she has to do is restate McCain’s position and that is what the interviews will be about.</p>
<p>It is not a novel concept, creation has been taught in Church for thousands of years.
Also creationsim is hardly “your religion” as every religion on earth holds to a creation story. Creation in schools would denote that some actor created us without denoting who that actor is. Someone may interpet that actor to be GOD or some Brahmin, or even another Gilgamesh or Zues, that in no way forces religion on ppl.
This is such a non-issue that it is astounding. For those who do not know, education is not handled by the Vice-president or even President, states handle education policy.</p>
<p>Dbate, that is true, however a President gets to put people in the Supreme Court for life. The Supreme court could render creationism being taught in schools legal or illegal for a generation or more. A person’s view on creationism or evolution is definitely apropos towards making a voting decision for some people especially considering when a great portion of our population vote on personality.</p>
<p>" So what if creationism is taught in school? We’re taught medicine, biology, geosciences, and many other things with many parameters that are susceptible to be wrong. Why hate on something that most believe in?"</p>
<p>There is so much wrong here that my brain is exploding. 1. I do not hate what you believe in. Believe it; love it, live it. I just don’t want your religion taught in public schools. But Medicine, biology, geosciences are the reasons we have progressed from hmmm…lets say…apes. Really. </p>
<p>Because I am a scientist I will vote for reason progression and scientific thought. I will vote for Obama and Biden.</p>
