I want a very popular and well known business man, perferrably on an independent or 3rd party ticket.  I haven't scouted out the field yet, but I have some ideas (and no, not Donald Trump or Bill Gates).  We need someone with proven business experience, especially in the executive levels, to streamline our nation and make it extremely competitive in the global market.  This includes cutting unnecessary expenses as well as boosting our income (foreign investments).

I say I want him/her on the independent or 3rd party ticket just so he/she won't be a part of the typical partisan BS that goes on.

This is important for the Libertarian and the other 3rd parties.  They must start forming and advertising by June 2005 if they are to get some serious coverage in 2008.

Add onto that the fact that all the 3rd parties need to combine together and petition for campaign reform to allow the dominant 3rd parties access to and consideration for the 2008 campaign events/coverage.

There are days where I consider signing up as a Libertarian (even though they do not match my ideals) just to increase their "base" so they have more muscle to force themselves into the 2-party dominated environment.  My cousin has, and campaigns in NC as a Libertarian (though he has yet to win).

Allen vs Warner . . . VA all over again!  Smiley

I don't think Allen will be able to run on the "End the car tax" platform this time though.  Smiley

Wasn't Cuba a U.S. territory for a while?

Following the Spanish-American war in 1898, the US occupied the country of Cuba until the US turned over control in 1902.  In 1903, the Cuban-American treaty set up the framework for relations between the two countries, including the ceding of Guantanamo Bay to the US as a military base to protect the island nation.

Just as throughout the history of the US, we turn over nations we occupy following the end of a war.  Just think, if we haven't, the US would also include nations such as the Philippines (I could actually use my Tagalog more) and Germany.

2)Cheney was not a better VP than Edwards. The fact is the VP doesn't count (for this election).


I guess that shots a hole in Shira's rant that Cheney was actually running the country for the last 4 years.  hahaha
