On Tuesday, voters in both Missouri and Illinois will join voters in 20 other states in choosing candidates vying for their party’s nomination.

Once again, Missouri is in the political spotlight with major candidate making campaign stops here over the last week. Former President Bill Clinton campaigned in Edwardsville last week; John McCain was here Friday; Hillary Clinton stopped in Bridgeton on Sunday; and Mitt Romney made an appearance at a Maryland Heights eatery Sunday to watch the Super Bowl.

From today’s story:

“Missouri does have historical importance. As Missouri goes, so goes the nation,” said Ken Warren, a political science professor at St. Louis University.

The presidential primaries are almost here. Have you made up your mind?

I’ll vote for Hilary. She just about ran the White House while Bill was in office and the country did well during that time. Why not do it again? It seams the Clintons are always cleanning up after Republicans.

HILLARY. . . HILLARY. . . HILLARY. . . She is the most qualified person running to assume the role of President of the US. Obama is a good orator, but she has more concrete plans that would actually work.

And yes, I’m THRILLED to actually be able to vote for a WOMAN who can do the job. Lest we forget, women were given the right to vote in 1920, 50 years AFTER black men were given the right to vote. And let us not forget that the constitution said, “all men are created equal.” The 14th amendment called the equal protection under the law, didn’t include sex as a criteria for giving equal protection.

Actually, maybe I shouldn’s say too much since we never passed the equal rights amendment and therefore, as a WOMAN, I don’t possess equal rights.

As Shirley Chisholm (the first african american woman elected to congress) said, “Of my two handicaps, being female has put more obstacles in my path than being black.”

The magic eight-ball says “No Opportunistic Bitches,”

So I’m going to vote for who I always vote for: The Bald White Guy.

# 41 You lost the war already. You will never win it and you are not patriotic to keep destroying this country because you are scared and/or just evil and love deaths. Now why are you letting young girls fight your war for you? I despise guys who post pro-war here and let women fight their battles. And don’t tell me, your accountant has it fixed so you won’t even be paying for your world occupations. Coward! Go get some sand in your nads and pay that tax bill…then come back. Mission Accomplished! Sure it was buddy. I’m voting for who this doof isn’t.

Ron Paul is the only candidate who can fix our economy and bring our troops home… period.
But regardless, please vote for who you think will do the BEST job, and not just who you think will win… we’ve been screwed by that mentality long enough.

oh yeah, and as for all these Hillary lovers, you’d better be okay with another 4 years of war in Iran… read the Kyl-Lieberman bill that she voted in…
remember, Bill bombed Iraq too.

I could not have said it better myself.

Something you will notice about this type of post . . . these guys are on here all the time, commenting over & over with their hawkish stance, but they will never come out and say who they are. They always post under an alias. Because they are ashamed of what they believe and deep down they know they can not stand behind what they say… it is even metaphorically within their own argument.

From what it seems like, all these doofs are going for Romney.
Their time was up a long time ago.
Kissinger was wrong . . . at least McNamara came to his senses!

Ron Paul. It does make me sad that America is going to blow this chance to have someone who just doesn’t stink of politician leading our country.

If Thompson were still in the race, I’d have voted for him in the Primary. As it is, I’ll vote for Romney as will my wife. Come the general election I’ll re-evaluate the situation, but most likely I’ll vote third party, either Constitution or Libertarian depending on who’s their nominees.

I’d written Ron Paul off as a nut early on, but upon more recent considerations, he’s piquing my interest. I’d rather not see McCain win the nomination, so I can only vote for the strongest of the remaining contenders that I feel is the best suited and has a strong chance of winning. That’s Romney.

You can damn well be sure I’ll not vote for Hillary, Obama or McCain. I’ll trust flipping Romney over sheep-skin McCain any day.
