No one really understands exactly why our country is the way it is, why we have so many enemies, and what's going to happen to us in the future. If we don't open our eyes and realize exactly what our country is doing, we're never going to maintain our "super-power status." Now, this may make people go "wow, we're kinda young to be dealing with this," but I intend on growing up in this country. If I have to grow up here, I want to be well aware of what's going on because it's going to affect me. In the year 2024, I'm going to run for president. Not for the fame, not for the fourtune, but for the betterment of this country. The country I call home. I think that if each one of us sets a goal to better our country's current status, our country could be better than ever!!

Not to mention, Personally, I think Bush is a dork,

Let's hear the 4-eleven on your dreams 2 make a difference!!

Bush is not the people's president. And as for Bin Laden, I am fine for saying yes we cant find him but admit it, don't shift the country's attention to Hussein. And stick behind your allies, don't **** them off. That's how you make enemies.

Yea I know he's is the dictator of IRAQ... not Afghanistan, the person in Afghanistan in Bin Ladin, the man your president has yet to capture and let his family members leave our country the day after sept 11. when no one else was able to fly
yea thats right...

Did I say ANYWHERE in my post that I thought terroism will be gone forever by getting rid or Saddam? No.

This is the problem, people like you. WE NEED to get rid of people like Saddam if you see it or not.

You are more likely to die at your own hands than to die at the hands of a terrorist. The government does't want you to know that. If the right-wingers knew that, they'd be wanting to fight ourselves. Getting rid of Saddam will not stop terrorism. And there weren't any WMD, that was a ploy to get "us" to back up the war. CNN interviewed real Iraqi's, do you know what they said, they said, I wish we had saddam back since hes gone and the US got here our country went to the crapper (para-phrased)

I find it hard to not call someone a dork who's foreign policy is to target African and Asian countries. Does anyone really think that those countries are the only one's with terrorists?

The region that has been focused on the most is the Middle East, which are Arab, and not African or Asian.
But then some African Nations, though the majority of the population being Arab, the state is still on the African continent, Flamboyantly support terrorist attacks on America, Libya for example. Then Some Asian nations have invited America troops to help with their terrorist problem, like Indonesia.
Now the Common denominator here, is Islam. Like it or not there has been a "holy War" declared and the extremist have answered, and where is Islam strongest? In Africa, the Middle east and South Asia.

Thousands of people protested in Iraq the other day, Not to make America leave, but they wanted Saddom to executed immediately and Direct Election.

These are people who were starving for freedom. We gave them that. For 20 years they were killed, cheated, lied to, and deny even the basic of civil rights. And you would have them live 20,40,60 more years of this? This is selfish, uncompassionate, and heartless.

I hope your never under a actual saddom, and after 20 years, when someone attempts to free you of your bonds, their contry's people moans and crys, "But what about us?!".

I think he is a dork, and I am very right-wing.

It's like this, he's doing a good job in Iraq, but he screwing up at home.

He has encougaged illegal immigration and also expanded the size of the government via dumb progams like Healthcare (and what ever happend to privitzing Social Securtiy?).

To reiterate, Bush is a dork, but any one else is worse than him, so go Bush (unenthusastic yea).

Oh! Teen People said there's going to be a women President! Big whoop. That magazine is full of crock.

Also, Lybia is closing their weapons mass destruction program. BUSH IS DOING SOMETHING RIGHT! (watch the State of the Union Address)

Bush is getting re-elected, he's going to be a the President again, go and watch, this has happened in history before. EXACTLY. Lowering taxes, Lowering how many years illegal immigrants have to wait to become a U.S. citizen. ect.

Good luck, but, I think Hilary Clinton and/or other women is/are going to be President first if I don't say so myself.

Go Bush!

*excuse me for my mistakes if I have any*

Well first and foremost, thanks to everyone who said they'd vote for me and supports me.
Let's just start with this one, some of you did not read my post correctly b.c if you did, you would see that it says I will run in 2024, i'll be 36 and eligible to run. Trust me, I have it all planned out, this is something I really want to do, not just some dream.
To those of you who said I lost your vote because I said Bush was a dork, that is fine and dandy. Although, I can only hope you change your mind, the choice is yours. I stated my opinion and I appreciate yours. However, I find it hard to not call someone a dork who's foreign policy is to target African and Asian countries. Does anyone really think that those countries are the only one's with terrorists? It's a closeminded, openly-bias, act and I dont see how people could agree with it. Also, although Bush did try to organize tax cuts and what not, he spent billions of it on an unnecessary war. Those billions of dollars could have went to helping America and it's citizens. Not to mention, that now, even more of that "tax cut money" is going to correct the mess Bush has made.
Now, on the issue of the war, let us not forget that Bush found none of the "weapons of mass destruction" he was supposively looking for. Bush is a warmonger and everyone knows it.
What this country needs is someone who's eyes are open and can see exactly what our country truly is doing. It is right to say that if we minded our own business and didnt try to push our ideas on to everyone else we'd have alot less issues. Not to mention, what is the point of trying to fix other countries when ours is far from perfection.
Now, I can't claim perfect. But i would never claim stupidity. In all honesty, only someone without the lack of common sense wouldn't believe that since Bush has been in power we havent declined. Look at the evidence. Our economy is on an all time low, their were more deaths in Iraq during the month of November(noting that the war was called off last April) than during the whole war, and poverty is at an all time high. If Bush is reelected, our country is not going to recover. You may disagree if you'd like, this is still America, and I encourage you to do so. However, all I ask is that you take into consideration what I said.

Another thing is that there WILL be a woman in office by the year 2024, an attorney in New York stated so in a pass issue of Teen People. In that magazine there is a club called Club 2024, its all girls who want to be in politics by the year 2024. And yes, I am part of it... It's going to happen, a woman in office. Trust me. And it's going to be me...

Ps. I am woman, I am African American.. HEAR ME ROAR...

*Tata*
pps. if you want to get intouch with me directly email me at kix860@aol.com

Yeah, Wesley Clark. The guy who takes a different position on issues every day. The guy who backed one of the silliest conflicts we ever fought - Bosnia - where we had absolutely no business being and wasn't even vaguely a threat to us, unlike Afghanistan and Iraq. Brilliant work, liberals. If any Demcrat gets in, they're going to stop going after terrorists and probably beat up on Ghana next. Or maybe Andorra. Something the worst preswident in history - Clinton - probably would have done if he'd been in office longer.

Here's a novel idea for the leftists - how about taking down dictators and the nations that threaten us rather than little podunk nations that don't?

It's because of our forign policy of getting in other counries buisness. Change that, and suddenly we'll have many less enemies.

We're in the midst of what looks to be an 8 year term for the worst president of the past 100 years.
Fitst thing the warmonkey does when he gets in office is ::drumroll please:: toss out clintons plan to oust saddam, its not good enough if it's a democrats plan. Then he goes on to say "it'll take another pearl harbor to get the public behind the war" BEFORE 9-11, bush needed a reason to attack afghanistan and iraq. WAR is only as a last resort, The un didn't get the change to keep peace and order in any situation.

Bush didn't carpet bomb afghanistan b/c of 911, he did it for the now under construction underground oil pipeline being build through asia.

Bush didn't go to Iraq because he had NUKES, or that he posed any dort of threat to our nation. DO you honestly think bush gives a squirt of **** about saddam being a bad leader to his people? he did it for one reason and one only : OIL, Iraq being the 2nd largest oil nation in the world behind only Saudi Arabia. It sickens me how the man can lie, and it's out there, it's in the news, in the public, and people are to ignorant, and still support him. i could go on and on. I haven't even got into how the tax cuts destoryed the economy, thats for another post.

The future? it dosen't look bright.
If he is re-elected, the space program will fail miserably..we need a new space travel vehicle NOW not in 2010.
A draft looks imminant, its highly likely, in which case i'd leave the country. We need to elect someone else in 2004. The time is now. Go to Wes. Clark's official webpage and look at his 20 year future plan, you'll see he knows what he's handling. Thank you for your time.

The latest female to drop out of running, Braun, would have made a wonderful president. But in the America of today there will never be an african-american or female elected. And we need both.
A female president to do what they do best, nuture and take care of this country with motherly love and the occasional spanking.
A african-american president to push questions that need to be answered about civil rights.
We just need to get someone that can get us out of the state of being we are in right now because of baby bush the puppet.

I'm glad you have an active interest in our country, but out of curiosity why don't you like Bush? I would really like to see how you back that up... Bush has made an attemp to cut taxes,and is trying to keep our country as safe as possible. I met him before he was president and he is a very true person.

I think that if you set your mind to it you can run for president.Have you heard about Bushes foriegn travel polcies?You get set into differnt cagetgories if your a threat or not?? All these rules are going to kill us on vistors from other countries. I personly dont care who cancelled their flights to the U.S. I know im griping but this is a sore subject in my household. I know you cant run since your only 15 but hey you can dream cant you? If yall get up there Ill sersiouly vote for yall. I hope to god that Bush does not get reelected or our country is going to the dogs. I like to know why bush is still in Iraq if we have not found any weapons of mass destruction. I really dont express my ideas at school b/c everbody listens to their parents.

I agree, most young people don't care and do listen to their parents.


Whoever said a female will never be president, you will be proven wrong one of these days. The women who have ran for president weren't strong enough to even begin to win, but if a woman gets in there and gets her word out, she can become the president. The U.S. is changing everyday, anything can happen.

I would vote for you, but I may be up there with you. It depends on where life leads me. Good Luck though.

You can't run for President when you're 15. Also, look there has been 2 women who have tried to run for president. And they didn't win. I don't think there will be a women President. Not trying to discourage you or anything.

You lost my vote. President Bush is not a dork, he has done good for this country if you see it or not.

THANK YOU LORD!!! Someone I know is dead set on being your opponent in 2024. But I think if you keep telling it straight like that, you've got my vote. I think that people my age either don't know or don't care about the past, present, or future. They all listen to their parents and then bash the heck out of me when I say I don't like Bush (yeah, I live in a VERY Republican town. IN THE NORTHEAST.) Well, I don't like Bush and I'm totally with you all the way! Good luck!
