Flo, are you saying that Bush has trouble reading?

No, not at all. I'm saying that any politian can give a very eloquent, meaningful, thought provoking speech if that is what his "speech writer" wrote for him. I could be wrong, but I don't believe they write their own speeches.

Jo McDonald · June 17, 2008, 01:05:59 PM

Of course they don't write their own speeches, if they did, then they wouldn't have to read all of it -- just a few works to keep their thought process in the right channel. I agree wholeheartedly that we don't have a candidate that fits the bill for what this country
needs. We need someone that is not dedicated to Power for oneself, and the reasoning that is labeled common sense and to remember first and foremost that this country must uphold the Constitution of the United States, and be a government of the people, by the people and for the people.
And for the life of me --- I do not see that in any of the ones we have to have on the ballot.

Hi Jo, I agree with you. My candidate of choice would be Colin Powell, I wish we could get him to run as an Independent. He is a very good man, very wise, very Knowledgeable in Military and World affairs, I can't think of anything negative about this man.

Hi Frank, I also like Lou Dobbs, he is an independent and openly says the things that I like to hear --- It would be a tough choice if we had he and Colin Powell running --- Now ***** wouldn't that be a "look forward to going to the polls" thing?

That would be great Jo, but they are both Republicans. What a team that would make, Lou is my favorite Business News Reporter, and I do like his stance on illegal Immigrants. My kids still laugh about me coming home from work and changing the TV to "Moneyline" every night. maybe we can get them to run as an independent ticket.

Thank you, Jo. Was beginning to wonder if I was a lone cat out there!

They have someone right what they think the publice wants to hear, don't they??? I haven't been voting but about 10 years, but do like the idea of Powell, too!!!!

Lou Dobbs stated on one of his news cast that if he were to run he would be on the Independente ticket. Many, many of his followers emailed him, and he read them and showed them on this broadcast, asking--begging, him to run. But he declined.
I kept holding out -- telling Fred, "maybe he will change his mind". But alas, he did not.
