I don't think Newt can raise the money and support. I do like him though. Give the chance I'd bang an intern! (maybe)

My only fear is that the Donald doesn't ride out the entire election and leaves me hangin. Bachman may be tough, but Palin f'd up any womans chances, especially a republican. Donald is smart enough to surround himself with the best people and will truley work for America. I believe he loves this country and would work to bring it back to the superpower it once was.
The rest are just polititions and only care about elections and fund raising.

Has anybody heard from Monica Lewinsky lately? I bumped into her at the dry cleaners, but, that was awhile ago. She was getting her blue dress cleaned

I like Michelle Bachman, she is way to conservative for alot of minnesotans and is portrayed as a fruitcake by the media. She definitly sticks to her convictions, but speaking her mind can sometimes get her in trouble. it is sad that knowing where someone stands can be a detriment but Barrack ran on "hope and change" with no specifics and that was fine with so many.
For thousands of years men have felt the irresistible urge to go to sea, and many of them died. Things got better after they invented boats.

as predicted, Toyo's will faulter and they will start to jack up the price of their 4 wheel gems....the sadistic side of me when the quake hit was just that thought...i can control what i say but not what i think.
As for Trump, he could be a vote stealer, I just like him because he pulls himself out of Bankrupcy again and again, he doesnt throw in the towel, he is a risk taker and you gotta have alotta balls to take risks, unlike a politician, he knows how to run big business...I dont think he will let the Isrealites push him around, when he sets his mind to something he achieves, Im fckin fed up with politicians, special interest groups, political contributions, 30 family members on the payroll....thats the sht that has to stop.
get back to core values and quit saying oh well, fck, Detroits population dropped 25% in the last 10 years, that was the epicenter of industry, just like Cleveland...its ashame.
Reluctantly I think I was dupped, i recieved my New Balance tennis shoes and i looked at the tag......Made in China, lesson learned, I wont let that happen again

In my book, bankruptcy is throwing in the towel, one of the reasons I would not vote for Trump. He has some good ideas but they are only words. We need need someone with proven principles not another huge ego. Anyone with a 757 for a personal jet has no clue what the working class have to do to survive.

Dave....The media paints anybody they don't like as a fruitcake, or they try to destroy them....ie....Sarah Palin, Donal Trump, and Michelle Bachman. I take it they do this because these people represent a real threat to the liberal media and all they stand for.

However, I have to say, that I have to agree with Eric. Trump could just be that, a vote stealer. Remember Ross Perot from the '93 elections. I voted for him. He had a different message and all the right charts and graphs. In the end, he stole enough votes from George H. Bush to cause him to lose the election to Bill Clinton. We need to be careful of having that happen again. I still like him, and what he says though. Oh well, I am sure the process will sort itself out soon enough.

dont worry, its a write-off.
bankruptcy is not throwing in the towel, shutting the doors is. its a way to re-organize under current business fluctuations...while things are good you have to reap, its not a sign of being a failure, it is a sign of we have to do something different to be viable in the changing market. simple little things like fuel fluctuations could send a business spiraling, union control all types of factors working against you, you could be feeding off of a large contract and one button pusher can decide he wants his buddy Cheney to get the business??? the odds are against you but if you can survive thru these downfalls and regain control..in my eyes you would be a true surviver, a hunter and gatherer....not a quitter
WW, we listen to the bull*************** every 4 years, "only words" politicians words cohearsing the voting public to vote for them, they tell you what you want to hear to gain your confidence and then flip the book on you

lets turn the clock back, june 2005, tranny's are rolling in, couple hundred a year and im naming my price, been in business since 1999, so im past the do or dye and know better...you build a business around that, more space, more employees, more equipment, more reliance on the banks, your growing....motorhome in the drive, new truck, new car, boat life is good
then all of a sudden the stock market crashes, people are robbed of their wealth, gas shoots to 4.00 a gallon, boats are starting to sit, now you dont see the flow as you use to, some ass in Michigan starts to cut throat and will undercut your prices which starts to de-value the dollar and it forces you to cut your prices which i am a firm believer in not cutting price to get the work....
next thing you know the bank is calling to get their monthly payment, because you built your business upon things when they were good....the overhead is the same but the work coming in is not, so at this point you need to explore other options of income, you scrape by, and get another wrench thrown into the bucket, your on a state contract to repair their fleet of vehicles but because of the states lack of money they pull back and cut the fleet by 75%....I could go on and on and on and on....believe me, im not crying, i will survive, shutting the doors weeds out the weak and some day i will be the only game in town again. but, ive been on the edge of closing doors. I guess my point is, I dont think its throwing in the towel and makes him a weak person....and ive posted this many times....there are three types of people, the ones that say "what just happened", the ones that say "hey man whats happening" and the ones that make things happen, and i think we know which one trump is

Some interesting reading for you political junkies. A Brit's view of Obama.....

FROM THE LONDON DAILY TELEGRAPH


FROM THE " LONDON DAILY TELEGRAPH" EDITOR, ALEX SINGLETON

Let me be clear: I'm not normally in favor of boycotts, and I love the American people. I holiday in their country regularly, and hate the tedious snobby sneers against the United States . But the American people chose to elect an idiot who seems hell bent on insulting their allies, and something must be done to stop Obama's reckless foreign policy, before he does the dirty on his allies on every issue."

One of the most poorly kept secrets in Washington is President Obama's animosity toward Great Britain , presumably because of what he regards as its sins while ruling Kenya (1895-1963).

One of Barack Hussein Obama's first acts as president was to return to Britain a bust of Winston Churchill that had graced the Oval Office since 9/11. He followed this up by denying Prime Minister Gordon Brown, on his first state visit, the usual joint press conference with flags.

The president was "too tired" to grant the leader of America 's closest ally a proper welcome, his aides told British journalists.

Mr. Obama followed this up with cheesy gifts for Mr. Brown and the Queen. Columnist Ian Martin described his behavior as "rudeness personified." There was more rudeness in store for Mr. Brown at the opening session of the United Nations in September. "The prime minister was forced to dash through the kitchens of the UN in New York to secure five minutes of face time with President Obama after five requests for a sit down meeting were rejected by the White House," said London Telegraph columnist David Hughes. Mr. Obama's "churlishness is unforgivable," Mr. Hughes said.

The administration went beyond snubs and slights last week when Secretary of State Hillary Clinton endorsed the demand of Argentine President Cristina Kirchner, a Hugo Chavez ally, for mediation of Argentina 's specious claim to the Falkland Islands , a British dependency since 1833. The people who live in the Falklands, who speak English, want nothing to do with Argentina . When, in 1982, an earlier Argentine dictatorship tried to seize the Falklands by force, the British -- with strong support from President Ronald Reagan -- expelled them.

"It is truly shocking that Barack Obama has decided to disregard our shared history," wrote Telegraph columnist Toby Young. "Does Britain 's friendship really mean so little to him?" One could ask, does the friendship of anyone in the entire world mean anything to him?

"I recently asked several senior administration officials, separately, to name a foreign leader with whom Barack Obama has forged a strong personal relationship during his first year in office," wrote Jackson Diehl, deputy editorial page editor of the Washington Post, on Monday. " A lot of hemming and hawing ensued." One official named French President Nicolas Sarkozy, but his contempt for Mr. Obama is an open secret. Another named German Chancellor Angela Merkel. But, said Mr. Diehl, "Merkel too has been conspicuously cool toward Obama."

Mr. Obama certainly doesn't care about the Poles and Czechs, whom he has betrayed on missile defense. Honduras and Israel also can attest that he's been an unreliable ally and an unfaithful friend. Ironically, our relations with both Israel and the Palestinian Authority have never been worse. Russia has offered nothing in exchange for Mr. Obama's abandonment of missile defense. Russia and China won't support serious sanctions on Iran . Syria 's support for terrorism has not diminished despite efforts to normalize diplomatic relations. The reclusive military dictatorship that runs Burma has responded to our efforts at "engagement" by deepening its ties to North Korea .

And the Chinese make little effort to disguise their contempt for him.

For the first time in a long time, the President of the United States is actually distrusted by its allies and not in the least feared by its adversaries. Nor is Mr. Obama now respected by the majority of Americans. Understandably focused on the dismal economy and Mr. Obama's relentless efforts to nationalize and socialize health care, Americans apparently have yet to notice his dismal performance and lack of respect in the world community.
They soon will.

--London Daily Telegraph editor -- Alex Singleton
