would you vote for someone for President if you knew he would...

...cut social spending to almost 0%?

...replace his VP candidate at the last minute because he was too liberal?

...advocate welfare reform?

...appoint two Republicans to high level positions?

Just curious...

1. No but there is not enough information to make a good decision

It sounds wrong. Are you talking about Bill Clinton in the 90's?

6. A complete society with equal justice is the goal.

The only chance the poor and down trodden have, is at the mercy of the wealthy that legislates law. And usually that is just enough law so the the wealthy isn't infringed upon by the commoner.

9. i'm wondering if this is referring to FDR in the 44 campaign

He did drop his Vice-Prescient Henry Wallace at the very last minute due to objections from the southern Dixie-crats because of Henry Wallace's exceptionally strong (for the time) stand for civil rights legislation.

10. Well - we are not so innocent & naive that we just fall into whatever

Edited on Sun Dec-11-05 08:28 AM by applegrove

this is. It takes years to learn that. And since we have to live with the nepharious types in our world - and they seem to be in power in the USA - good that we didn't bite.

I'd love to find out what this is all about. What the point is?

:popcorn:

What are we supposed to learn? What is the answer?
