  2. In my wildest dreams, AAA, I couldn't see you claiming that they aren't.
    Surely you're not claiming they aren't?
    Some of them are, although most are probably not, and illegal immigration is a huge problem for the U.S. I notice you didn't use the 'illegal' qualifier...
    I highly doubt he'd be in favour of kid gloves treatment for proven terrorists. I believe his comments were engendered by the detentions at Guantanamo that turned out to be mistakes, weren't they? No suprise that he would be interested in distinguishing the U.S. from other states in terms of their treatment of POWs, right?

    Hate to say it, but a bunch of the points you made are good reasons for those who lean towards the Dems, but who can't see Hillary or Obama in the White House, to vote Republican this time.

    Confuse matters? what the hell are you talking about? He's not going to confuse anything. He has said flat out he wants to extend the tax cuts. PERIOD. That's all that matters to you and me, two traders.

    Illegal immigration means nothing to a trader.

    Interrogation techniqes mean nothing to a trader.

    The zealousness of a candidate's Christianity means nothing to a trader.

    What matter to you and me are taxes - We will get an increase with Hillary, we will get a bigger one with Obama, we won't get one with McCain. (as long as repubs don't lose any more seats in congress).

    Get off your conservative high horse! Do you want to pay an additional $10 or $20,000 a year just so you can say you adhere to right wing political ideals! Get real.

    Sorry for hijacking your thread again, pekelo, but this issue is becoming important.

    My prediction is McCain to win the nomination. I'm not ready to predict who will ultimately win the White House yet.

  4. I also think McCain will win the nomination, although I believe that Romney would be a better President.

    I hope that Hillary does not get the nomination. I am voting for Obama. Think of what it would be like to wake up and see that face in the White House every day for the next four years. Oh......My......God.....I might have to move to Canada.....
