And where did i say i supported my government for any of those occurences?

Anti-torture + pro-geneva conventions = supporting the terrorists? No, anti-torture & pro-geneva conventions = supporting international law & basic human rights.

The joke is that the system won't allow him, or anyone other than a donkey or elephant, to be taken seriously. Democracy means you need massive exclusive media coverage and a $50 million war-chest, right?

I think just about every Canadian whose ever picked up a newspaper for reasons other than the 'sports' & 'funny-pages' section understands that the US is more conservative than Canada. But there's a difference between voting for conservatism & voting for fraud & incompetence. Who is more the fool? The fool, or the fool who follows him?

I find the terrorizing of terrorists to be quite hypocritical. Its wonderful some people wish to act like those we are fighting to stop.

Why don't they just cut the income tax? Then working will be more profitable.

I'm with you. Why make this savings account? I'd rather have a tax cut. Why even have RRSP's? I'd rather have a cut on income tax or capital gains. I don't want the government "showing" me how to save. I know how to save, and i'm quite good with my money. Let us do with our money as we wish. If somebody has the $$$ to use this new savings account, but doesn't have the smarts to put a small % of their paycheck away for savings, then that is their own problem. I'm certainly no conservative, i don't mind being taxed if the money is going to go to those who TRULY need it. But i'm also logical, and this is over the top IMO. Too "nanny state-ish".

fairly straightforward poll.

I agree with most of what you said. However, many times its the politicians who are affording the accomidations to these immigrants from other cultures, not the immigrants themselves. Mots of them aren't even asking for these accomidations, we're just giving it to them for the sake of multiculturalism. I have no problem respecting other cultures. Let others practice their customs, religion, and so forth, but i ask that they come here & respect what Canada is. Come here and learn English or French & intergrate, don't just stick with your own communities (again, this is mostly the politicians fault, not the immigrants). If you want to become and RCMP officer, agree to wear the mountie hat without the turbin as is the uniform or simply do not become an RCMP officer. The lack of patriotism has a lot to do with the lack of Canadian history being taught in our schools. You go to the U.S. and their history is pounded into your brain from a young age & you are taught that America is the best country in the world. Here, history is definately in the 2nd-tier of school subjects, well behind English, Math, science etc.

I agree 100%.

You know what i'm talking about. These people who claim Obama is just about grandiose general ideas & he doesn't have any concrete plans or answers to the tough problems. To these people, i say stop just watching his victory speeches (which seem more to just rally the troops) & sound-bites. If they actually watched a full debate or two, or did any research into his policies, they'd discover that yes he does actually have detailed policies and stances on all of the issues, just as Clinton & McCain do. I can't stand these people who just watch NBC news or some clips on Youtube & think they know a candidate. Worse are the politicians (ahem Hillary) who know his positions, and yet still attack him based on this popular myth simply for political gain.

hmm didn't know that, interesting.

Hillary is a crappy speaker. She comes across as insincere. But in any other year she could have easily overcome that. The main thing is that Obama is just better. He's the most exciting Presidential hopeful to come along in decades. He is Hillary with more credibility & vision and less foul stench of Washington & lobbyists.

Here's a thought: When you come into Canada, pick one woman to legally be your wife in this country. Genius!!

Don't believe anything McGuinty says, he's a liar!! Even quotes in newspaper articles. All lies. LIES. LIES!!!! McGuinty once said "excuse me" after a sneeze. Liar!!!

You raise a good point. How deep is the loyalty of some Canadian immigrants in this country? You should be required to spend more years residing in Canada before being able to become a citizen. And dual-citizenship? GET RID OF IT!!!! Choose a country and your loyalty and be done with it. If you want all the rights and priviliages of being a citizen of Canada, it should earned and not given away. That should go for every other country as well. You only need to to reside in Canada for 3 years to be eligible for citizenship. ARE YOU KIDDING ME???

Plagarism? Not sure. But Obama totally ripped off that guys' speech. The question is, did Obama do or did his team or speech writers do it without Obama himself knowing the original speech? In the grand scheme of things means little . Its petty.

this doesn't help very much. I'm sure all of these sources are scholarly ones right? Especially the books published by "Adventures Unlimited Press"? I've had many friends who wanted to go to Adventures Unlimited University for a law degree.

John Edwards is wishy-washy. He doesn't have a hard, concrete vision IMO, or strong leadership. He has too many "uhh i'm not sure" moments. During debates he would admit being wrong on his vote to authorize the Iraq war. How stupid. He wasn't wrong. The Bush admin lied to Congress & the public about everything, including in the NIE. And if he really was wrong, that's a pretty HUGE mistake. When Obama says something about policy, he says it with a lot of conviction, and he can argue it well. See the last Clinton vs Obama debate on CNN right before Super Tuesday. His victory speeches & the "Yes We Can" stuff is just to rally the troops. I just hope he is as real as he seems. Which history says is very unlikely.

Every choice we have sucks on some good degree. Last time i voted Conservative, but there's no way that's happening again. I'd probably go NDP. I'd like to vote Liberal, but Dion is weak and i'm not convinced the Liberals have fully cleaned up their corrupt ways.

Ya, thats the most scandalous thing he's done with another woman? Quickly leave a stag party after a stripper arrives? He looks like Jesus Christ next to JFK or Clinton.

A N.A. union coin would never have a big eagle on it like that. Same as it wouldn't have a beaver playing hockey on it either.

Off topic, but do you/did you actually support Bush & Cheney or did you choose your username for the sake of irony?

Ahahaa. You bring up some interesting info about Obama in this thread, but i think your conclusions are mostly severe paranoia blown way out of proportion. C'mon man. First you say they're problems because of his church. Then problems because he's (apparently) a Mulslim. You say Obama's father being born Muslim makes Obama a Muslim will cause problems if he is President. What problems? If Obama is traveling to Saudi Arabia is their gov't going to chop off his hands or kill him for not practicing Islam? It doesn't really matter, because we will all find out the truth when the inevevitable smear campaigns come out in full force if Obama is nominated the Democratic candidate
