    In KA-NA-DA here, an election gets called and we're done 6 weeks or so later.

    I just really feel for my friends here in the USA...ya gotta "hurry up and wait" for what? Two years???

    I hope the next President creates a law that allows a one-year advance poll. It must be like watching paint dry awaiting the day you can actually VOTE. And it must drag out for the politicians also.

    If the Republicans could vote for their Pres candidate and leave Palin right out of it, it might be easier. But - she comes as part of the package.

    Here, the Deputy Prime Minister is chosen after the election.

    Prayin' for you!

    Candace, your post reminded me of something I read the other day from the Washington Times.

    If there should be a tie in the Electoral College votes, it is broken by the Congress. The House decides the President. Since the House is heavily Democratic, it would seem that Obama would be selected as President. The Senate, on the other hand, with Lieberman voting with the Republicans, would be in a 50-50 tie. At that point Vice President Dick Cheney steps in to break the tie to make Republican Sarah Palin his successor.

    How's that for a can of worms?

    Hillary and Bill Clinton are intelligent people and can put two, three and four words together, as can Obama.
    Bush shows his intelligence every time he opens his mouth.
    Weather you agree with a person or not the way they speak does show intelligence. I might not always agree with whom I am voting for however I don't think I am always correct or know more about the subject then they do, in fact I doubt that any of us know as much about the economy, foreign policy, healthcare as these politicans do. They all have advisors that are often as smart or smarter then they are doing the back round work for them. The final decison on some things might be theirs but they have a lot of help. Having the intelligence to understand all the info that is given to them and then making the decisions needs great intelligence, Bush doesn't have it, I don't think Palin does, McCain yes, Obama yes.
    I think most Americans vote for a person based on religion and weather they are a Rep or Dem they don't look at the whole package and they don't do their research. The extreme right wing often but not always listens to their pastor or minister never reading a Time, Newsweek, watching a debate or news program. The only reality for the is what they learn in church.
    The extreme left are so afraid of losing any of their freedom that they also don't look at all the issues.
    Thats why I always say and will continue to say that church and state need to as seperate as can be.
    Religion has no place in politics. After all when we deal with foreign nations especially the Middle East their religion is so different from ours it affects their morals, and their way of life. Not too many Americans are ready to strap a bomb onto themselves walk into a crowd and blow themselves up for the good of the government. Religion is not a logical practice in any country. How you were raised how your parents prayed is most often how you will practice, most people don't go to other churches and pick one for themselves. That is not to say that religion is bad, but it is a personal choice and not a government issue. After all America came about for the freedom of religion. When you think about how desperate the Pilgrams were, how they risked their lives to come here, shows how deep their faith was. They were willing to die for this. Just as the people in the Middle East are willing to die.

    Palin: Withdraw "for your country"
    September 26, 2008 8:25 AM

    Syndicated conservative columnist Kathleen Parker, who once described Sarah Palin's candidacy as a "bright light," now is calling on her to withdraw. She is the first prominent conservative to stake out that position--bringing to mind Bill Kristol's early pronouncement in 2005 that he was "disappointed, depressed and demoralized" over the Harriet Miers nomination.

    In a column titled "The Palin Problem," Parker says Palin's recent "painful" interviews with Gibson, Hannity and Couric show she is "clearly out of her league" and that "we'd all be guffawing" if she were a man.

    "No one hates saying that more than I do. Like so many women, I've been pulling for Palin, wishing her the best, hoping she will perform brilliantly," Parker writes. "I've also noticed that I watch her interviews with the held breath of an anxious parent, my finger poised over the mute button in case it gets too painful. Unfortunately, it often does. My cringe reflex is exhausted."

    Palin, she writes, filibusters and fills the space with deadwood. "Cut the verbiage and there's not much content there," Parker concludes. And then she provides an example--an exchange with Sean Hannity.

    Bottom line:

    "Only Palin can save McCain, her party and the country she loves. She can bow out for personal reasons, perhaps because she wants to spend more time with her newborn. No one would criticize a mother who puts her family first," Parker writes.

    "Do it for your country."

    This is my Platform for the Presidency!


    Bring back corporal punishment-for parents. Smack them on their arse in public- For the sins of the 'best friends'. If parents are willing to be that to their stupid kids, let them take the bullet too.

    Cash only transactions. For anything under 5,000

    Revise the system. Any lawsuit for malpractice, pain and suffering or stupidity will be reduced by 50% with the other 50% divided between social services and medical care for the poor.

    Any CEO will be paid according to what his company employees deems his salary to be. Not to exceed the average employee's salary by 25%.

    Casual Dress Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays.

    Every company with more than 10 employees will have Ice Cream Socials once a month. Under 10 workers? You will hire Ice Cream Trucks to drive up to the front door of the business.

    Stupd Idea Day, Once a month on the last Thursday of the Month.

    Instead of war? MMA Instead! Get your best mixed marial arts guy and we settle any inter-national hassles that way.

    If you don't cooperate? We surround your country and only let in Soy Cakes and Sugar Frosted Flakes, the ones with Micheal Phelps on the package.

    Stuttering politicians, Politicos that have had sex in office, figuratively and literally, ones were lawyers, community organizers or have any ties to felons, present, past and in the future will be kicked out of office and must spend every Tuesday visiting their friends.

    All political promises will be reviewed at the end of every 90 days and pay docked accordingly.

    The followers of the losing presidential candidate will be asked to volunteer at a local school, to show how graceful losers should act and not act.

    School rules will be enforced with no predjudice or favor to the kids.

    Free colonoscopys for everyone-the only charge will be for the removal of any impacted cranial material found in the colon.

    Stupid people will be sent to Costco for a law license or to Starbucks for the 1/2 off latte sale in 2550.

    No more blogging on the internet. Instead people will be asked to write labels and instructions, especailly for furniture bought at IKEA.

    Prices for everything DISNEY will not be more than 9.99.

    Mc Donald's Quarter Pounders will be sold at the Capitol for the House and Senate everyday. No BAG LUNCHES ALLOWED.

    Nancy Pelosi will be given extensive psych evaluation, Joe Biden a wig, BO speaking lessons-included will be a dog collar -the kind that shocks him for every Umm and Ahhh.

    George Bush gets retirement and a kick in the arse for being the president. Dick CHeney, a new shotgun and hunting trips with stupid politicians. John McCain gets a personal secretary to manage that internet he can't use. Palin gets an a cat proof suit, menses and free bullets for life.

    And all the puppy voters will get free pee pee pads for their couches, one month before each election.
