Before we can throw support in your direction, we really need to know where you stand on issues, and even more than that, your proposed plan for bringing about these changes.  I really like your spunk and the idea of `a man of the people' being on the ticket.....but, and I hate to throw water on your fire, there are some hurdles here:\n1) A Lone Ranger president is going to have an near impossible time of building a constituency among the congress, remember, you are going into the arena of politicians, so you have to play their game....to a certain extent.\n2) I do not believe one man (President) can truly be expected to handle the Executive Position....so I would want to know as much about the people you plan on running your Cabinet as I do you.  \nThese are my first questions for you, however, as I said, I like your moxie, come up with a plan and let's see what we can do.

That would be so great!!  But the canidate would have to stay away from selling out.  We have so many that make it in politics because of our voting power, but then get tripped up with all the hoopla surrounding them.  Henry Cisneros comes to mind, in this instance, he forgot where he came from.  If you watched the Alma Awards the president of La Raza, a Latina, was so well spoken and her agenda sounded refreshing for a change. She would be a prime canidate, but I don't know her name!!? :(  I think it is foolish to believe white old men are the only ones capable of running our country.  I'm prepping my son for the great opportunity to become President of the United States, So Watch out America, He's Laaaaaaatino! :  )

Please do, it will save the whole world from a lot of grief.  I'm English but lived in the US 91-99, the good old Clinton days!  Last year i visited my family in Phoenix and was genuinely shocked at how conservative the country and media had become.  Everything seemed to pro-Bush and no question seemed to be raised against him.  I tried explaining to my parents friends why the rest of the world sees George Bush as a serious cause for concern and i thought i was going to be shot.  Get back to America being free...you were good at that once.

I am with you. the battle may have been lost, but the war still rages. I don't let ant party control how happy I am. The libs have a lot to live up to. The Dow Jones is the highest it's ever been and unemployment is at an all time low in 20 some years. Libs better keep the peace or they'll pay in 2008. They have to prove themselves now. People won't forget where their paychecks were at, especially if they get taxed more, which will definitely happen.

If you want a repuglican congress and president into the far future split the democrtatic party and that is what you would get. We must all stand together and fight the oppresion of the repuglican party. I am tired of their idea of supply side economics. It just helps the rich and leaves the poor and middle class behind.

It has been time for a thrid party for a long time.  I get tired of listening to two things, 1 the same song and dance from both the Democrats and the Republicans, 2 that you are throwing your vote away if you vote for a thrid party .  Look the middle class is slowing becoming the lower class.  Our government ( both dem and rep) have done nothing to help the middle class.  And yet we make up the largest voting population.  It is time that we stand up for us.  Stand up for our jobs, for our lives, our kids lifes.  If we don't  it will never change.  And soon we will all be living pay check to pay check.  We need a third party with the person running to be one of us.  Not a rich spoiled politition  (sp) who has never seen a tough day in their lives.

in response to neparis2001: How about a car that runs on bull$hit? The conservative republicans are spreading plenty of that around. \n\nOr, you can do what I do. I refuse to support MidEast oil. All of my gas purchases are from Citgo, which comes from Venezuela. The only way that OPEC and the big oil companies are going to lower their prices is if we start hitting them where it hurts - in the wallet.

This girl is full of crap. Bush screwed everything up. Don't give me that crap about how hard it is to be president, FDR didn't have a problem with it. \n\nI hate all these Bush sympathizers, give me a break. \n\nDon't you think if you have the most important job in the world, you should expect at least some responsibility. \n\nGas prices are through the roof and please don't give me that inflation adjusted crap. Nominal gas prices have always been way below inflation adjusted until recent years. Plus the value of the dollar has gone to hell. \n\nWe keep losing important jobs and gaining menial jobs thus skewing the jobs numbers. \n\nBin Laden is still out there, there are more terrorists than ever. Iraq is a mess and gets bombed everyday. \n\nWe are in the biggest deficit ever. EVER. EVER!\n\nAsk America, 33% approve, and that include republicans who disapprove.

Wow! Nice insightful question. \nAs President I would:\n1 bring the troops home to protect are boarders, nuclear power plants and public transportation.\n2 I would have a legitimate team of people investigate the Bush administration.\n3 I would try to pass a law that would require all non emergency government vehicles be hybrids.\n4 I would sit down with a group of teachers and discuss what can be done to fix our educational program. (Teachers not administrator who have never stepped one foot in a class room.)\n5 I would work with doctors, nurses and insurance companies to provide a nation wide health care program.\n6 to take further steps in the environment I would offer huge tax breaks to people who buy a hybrid car that year.\n7 yes I would probably raise taxes for a little while (we have no chose now that this admin has put us in so much dept that we owe more then this country is worth.)\n8 I would offer tax breaks to those companies who produce more hybrid vehicles then regular, I would also add in a stipulation that any car that exceeds 55 mpg in the city would qualify\n9 I would legalize marijuana, place regulations on its growers and tax it.\n10 I would try like hell to pass a law that would not allow a company that has taken American jobs out of the USA and put them in a foreign Country to import those products back into America. (I say try because God knows this is going to be tough to get through congress.)\n11 This one should be higher on the list but I just remembered (duh) I would raise the minimum wage to $9.50 per hour.\n12 I would try to pass a law that any company who lies off more then 50 workers in a year will not be eligible for any tax breaks\n13 I would start showing up regularly to natal to talk to other world leaders and there representatives.\n14 I would work with colleges and universities to find a way to make state colleges and universities free to the public.\n15 I would take a major pay cut\n16 I would offer a huge tax break for the first car company to make all there vehicles environmentally friendly.\n17 I would try to push through a law that will place harsher punishment on crimes and that anyone in prison will be required to work for the state on clean up crews. (No free meals! No cable TV you earn your keep)\n That is for starters!

I think it all boils down to freedom of opportunity.  We could utilize some good points to empower the working class.  Or you could be a republican and believe that trickle down economics actually trickles.

We need an alternative government to go with our alternative fuels.  It won't happen until we get someone in the white hose with out any ties to BIG OIL.  This goes for the Dems too.

Your entire argument is valid and common among most young adults my age all over the country.  I really just do not want to see the Election to be a circus, with the Democratsz thinking they have found the key to their salvation after all this time by putting Hillary Clinton into office.  That would be the largest scale mistake EVER made in Elections History.  It really is choosing the lessor or two equals, and it's so hard to see the difference in the 2 candidates you are choosing from becuase they all sound the same.  Pray, I do, Pray for a smarter Nation to get its head out of the hole in the ground and pay attention to whats going on  out there.  I think the most important thing is to Vote, and clearly educate yourself on the people running before you rush to push a button come November 2008.

It is funny how people complain about the price of gas and then complain when the Pres. tries to do something to lower that cost. Lets here some solutions from the people who grip about everything he attempts to deal with. I have yet to hear a plan that is logical from anyone. Alternative fuels ,yes but where are the people at that are willing to fund the development of these fuels? The president can not force companies to make a new fuel source as that would not be free enterprise. Do you think the oil companies who's profits are way up are really going to work hard to come up with other sources? I would love for the US to go to ethanol but someone with more money than me will have to set up the refineries. This solution he is giving is not enough and I will agree with you there but it will take more than the Pres to fix this problem. I will be honest and say that I could do more to help like take public transportation, quit driving my truck, stop letting the grocery store us plastic bags for my purchases but I like these things. We need to Stop playing the blame game.

As a Democrat, I would like it if more national politicians paid attention to the South.  There are lots of things going on here--many of our cities vote Dem now, and many rural areas are fed up with poverty and losing jobs overseas (though I know that issue is probably bigger than any one party).  We need to raise the federal minimum wage.  That will benefit the South as well as other places.  There are other issues too.  It's not like the Democrats ignore us, but it's important to realize that there probably are a few swing voters down here.  AND there are a lot of ultra-liberals who will vote for 3rd party candidates or not vote, and the Democrats could get these votes by truly making humanitarian concerns (poverty, employment, health care, etc.) a priority.  The best way to a person's heart is through his/her wallet...

I will be very honest with you. I do not know what will happen-I don't even know their plan. I do know that I do not like the way things are going now in Iraq, with our border and port security, with general fear mongering, with the "family values" the Reps have been shoving down my throat for the past several years, the dirty politics, the gas price fluctuations right before elections, and the "stay the course" mentality. All of these things caused me to vote for somebody different. The Reps' have had 5 years of practically absolute control over all 3 branches of government, and I believe a change is in order. I am very happy with the results of last night's elections.

Hi Again Reuben,\n\nFirst let me just say it's great that you are helping to keep important issues in public view. I happen to be very liberal and believe that the war in the Middle East is wrong, but I also SUPPORT the "War in Iraq." \n\nLet me tell you why.... War, despite the fact that people die and suffer from it, is good for us as Americans. Especially a war in Iraq. Spending billions fighting an unjustified war in Iraq is like giving our economy a major dose of steroids. Military spending supports key industrial sectors of our economy which happens to be struggling since 2001. \n\nFor every bomb we make a steel company profits. For every aircraft we build an American aircraft company gets a subsidy in the form of a production contract. For ever Iraqi we kill we are one step closer to ensuring that Iraqi oil will reach American shores. \n\nI for one am happy living a very affluent life in Los Angeles. The way I see it, welfare is abused. I've met neighbors in my neighborhood who live in million dollar homes abuse the welfare system. Why should my tax dollars go to a cause that is just but corrupt? Why not just support a war that will boost our economy? Why not send someone else's kids to die so I can save some money on gasoline?\n\nI am a business owner and I can say that my shipping firm has benefited from the war. Hell, I've even been awarded military contracts to the Mid East. With the satire aside, I do honestly believe the war is wrong. But I am only one person and my vote didn't make a difference in 2000 or 2004, so I guess I might as well profit from whatever Bush dishes out.
