Possibly, but the question remains: Does Barak Hussein Obama still present a threat to this country. :~^ ) Honestly, I think he should sit out this time around. He needs to get some political time under his belt. He seems intelligent, articulate, and he is a personable individual, but that don't necessarily make him presidential material. We've got a moron for president now, we don't want a bright individual who isn't mature enough to handle the issues that will be thrown at him in that office. I say let the Dems screw up by nominating Hillary--against her will--lose the 2008 election and then in 4 years Obama and Edwards can run as Independents and take all. It'll be great for the country!

I too thought that if Puerto Ricans were unable to vote for POTUS that they might be denied the right to become POTUS, if it is in fact a right, that is? I've not been able to find any thing definitive on the subject. the U.S. Constitution just says: Clause 5: No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States. http://www.law.emory.edu/cms/site/in...p?id=3085#7662 There is this also: Persons born in Puerto Rico acquire U.S. citizenship under 8 U.S.C. 1402, which is part of the U.S. Immigration and Nationality Act. This is statutory citizenship rather than citizenship arising from birth or naturalization in a state of the union under the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. http://www.puertorico-herald.org/iss...nship-en.shtml XIV Amendment Section 1 The right of citizens of the United States to vote in any primary or other election for President or Vice President, for electors for President or Vice President, or for Senator or Representative in Congress, shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State by reason of failure to pay any poll tax or other tax. http://www.law.emory.edu/cms/site/in...p?id=3085#7662 Samoans, on the other hand (or, at least the ones I've seen) tend to be large and rather fierce looking.

That's the way the system works, when you are connected politically or you have wealth. Think Michael Milkin and Ivan Boesky! "in Wall Street's biggest criminal prosecution ever, 98 indictments of fraud and racketeering were brought against Milkin. On April 14, 1990 Milkin was sentenced to ten years in jail and agreed to pay $600 million in fines." http://www.brainyhistory.com/events/...93_167702.html Milkin entered a minimum-security facility at Pleasanton, California in 1991. Two years later he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, and his prison sentence was reduced to time served. He was given 12 to 18 months to live. Milkin established Cap CURE, and raised $75 million to fund research into finding a cure for prostate cancer. In 1996 he and his brother Lowell founded Knowledge Universe, an educational services company which in a few years time was logging $1.5 billion in sales annually. In 1997 the Milkin Institute, an economics think tank, was created. The following year, Milkin's The Taste for Living Cookbook became a bestseller. http://eightiesclub.tripod.com/id316.htm On May 18, 1986 Ivan Boesky gave the commencement address at Milkin's alma mater, the University of California at Berkeley's business school. "I think greed is healthy," he told his enthusiastic audience. "You can be greedy and still feel good about yourself." A few months later Boesky was indicted on the charges that would land him in Southern California's Lompoc Federal Prison, also known as Club Fed West. http://eightiesclub.tripod.com/id316.htm Op ---- |

The expansion of the failure of Great Society, and allowing every group to claim civil rights recognition, can only polarize this nation to a new higher level.

The votes selected cover the full spectrum of domestic, foreign, economic, military, environmental and social issues. We often chose procedural votes, amendments, motions to table, or votes on rules for debate. These votes can reveal true attitudes obscured in final votes.
