Who Will Be President in 2008?

(Listed in Order of whom I analyze to be Most Qualified and also Leading the list of candidates whom have giving indication they are interested in seeking the Office of President of the United States. )

1) Hilary R. Clinton-D
2) John McCain-R
3) Condoleezza Rice-R
4) Rudy Giuliana-R
5) Joe Biden-D
6) George Pataki-R
7) Howard Dean-D
8) Newt Gingrich-R
9) John Edwards-D
10) Jeb Bush-R
11) John Kerry-D
12) Barrack Obama-D
13) Al Gore-D
14) Bill Frist-R
15) Russ Fiengold-D
16) Mark Warner-D
17) Bill Richardson-D
18) Tom Vilsack-D
19) Evan Bayh-D
20) George Allen-R
21) Mitt Romney-R
22) Wesley Clark

Honorable Mentions:
Colin Powell-R
Arnold Schwarzenegger-R
Dick Cheney-R
Jesse Jackson-D
Barbara Boxer-D


My Opinion: 2008 Politics will be dominated y 4 states: Californian, Texas, Florida, and New York. I am confident that I have compiled a nearly accurate listing of the contenders for the President, and can speak with a +/_ 4% margin of error that the next President of the U.S. is among this list of 27 names. As the race evolves I will continue to update my listing, adding qualifications and stances on the issues until there is only 1. This list does not account for the numerous other candidates that will compete through the primaries. These are the best of the best, only those qualified to Hold the Office are listed. As I cast my vote in 2008 one of my biggest concerns shall be the Integrity & Character of our next President. Having experience as a candidate myself I understand clearly that amongst the games of politics it is this that shall guide the decisions made in the Oval Office. In my opinion there are 4 persons that continue to show satisfactory Integrity & Character and that is Hilary Clinton, John McCain, Barbara Boxer and Colin Powell. These 4 people may all be too polarizing for the comfort of the American people but in a fantasy world void of Republicans and Democrats either of these citizens would be worthy of the greatest Office and call to Service of America.

Deterioration within the Christian Church

Its Time to Make a Change

This deterioration is from the top down. I write as lay person who sees a clear and ever metastasizing cancer festering and tearing down the sanctity of our scared Christian Church. My observation is very simple. The pastors of our churches or not humble. Nor to the majority of Christian leaders appear to possess any qualities of humbleness. We the lay people of the Church have seemed to no longer require this once necessary character trait for the leaders of our churches. Charismatic Pastors and the blossom of mega churches creating celebrity clergymen is becoming a severe problem. The Mega Church in concept is not the problem, but Christian principals and values that are being placed aside in lou of the pleasure and excitement found in these churches. Those theologians that truly respect the role of the Christian Church know of what I speak. For is there is one thing the Church must guard against, these " worldly pleasures" encroaching upon the walls of our sanctuaries.

This lack of humbleness is leading to several spiritual disasters for the Church. I would even state this is just another of many tools of our primordial adversary to infiltrate and destroy our Church. It is also disheartening to see that our 21st Century Pastors are reluctant to actually quote the Bible. No self help book can replace the word of God. If 1/3 of Angels of the Kingdom of Heaven can Fall, then so can the Christian Churches of the United States of America.

What Must We Do?

1) We Must Not Stray from the Example of Jesus Christ, for what is the desire of a Christian? I believe it is to be more like Christ. And there is no more example of humility than Jesus Christ. He walked with the poor, ministered to prostitutes, and washed the feet of the filthy.

2) Our Pastors and Churches Must Stay out of Politics: from Rev. Berry Lin to Rev. Jesse Jackson to Rev. Pat Roberts. It is your call to lead the Church, nothing more. Politics is a corrupt profession, and it is not the role of a Christian Pastor to be actively involved in both simultaneously. The call to lead the church and to save souls is more important than leading the nation. However it is the role of the Pastor to give direction, ethical restriction, and counsel to these political leaders. Furthermore by law the United States has a separation of Church and State. A line whose boundaries are presently becoming far too murky for my comfort. The Bible warns against and tells us to be watchful of identities like world churches and world governments. The Protestant faiths especially should be weary of any such institutions for it indicates the possible rise of the Anti Christ.

3) The Bible speaks of seven Churches in the End Times. One of these is the called the Church of Philadelphia. Rev: 3:7. In my opinion this speaks of a period of a False Church where many calling themselves Christians belong, but they are the very opposite. During this time there will be a small quantity of true Christians that shall lead the way the for the coming of Christ and they shall alone inherit the kingdom of God.

"These are the words of him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open. 8 I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name. 9 I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews though they are not, but are liars--I will make them come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you. 10 Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come upon the whole world to test those who live on the earth. 11 I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown. 12 Him who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will he leave it. I will write on him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on him my new name. 13 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. Rev 3:7-13

Listen to the last verse. We as Christians should hold firm when we hear the Spirit of God and take head to the message. Notice that God calls these False Christians “liars“, and belonging to the “synagogue of Satan“. The many 21st Century Pastors that rarely can be seen quoting the Bible therefore do not emphasize the necessity for integrity. What is the primary tool the Devil/Satan’s? From my understanding it is deception/lying. And this is why Millions of you that call yourselves Christians are actually in service of the Devil. Fortunately, it only takes a prayer prompted by a change in heart, mind, & soul to be back on Gods side. The Word of God warns us to be watchful of the matters evolving in our Churches. We cannot continue to allow for this deterioration especially within these Mega Churches which are the face of Christianity to the World. I do speak with authority " inspiration" on these matters and as a Christian I pray this message will be well received.

THE WEAK SHALL WIN THE IRAQ WAR


I sincerely write about this topic not in hope nor anticipation of my country, the United States loosing the Wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and on Terror. As a Democracy it is the duty of American citizens to entertain such a discussion to assure our victory over Terror.

In addition to the following excerpts from the essay How the Weak Win Wars , because of the situation we find ourselves in under the leadership of President George W. Bush , America must also discuss the following:
1) The Motives for Going to War
2) Justifications of the Iraq War
3) Information provided to the American People and International Governing Bodies in regards to the War
4) The legalities of any charges and subsequent conviction of ousted Iraq President Saddam Hussein. Common sense leads me to question the validity of these charges of incidents occurring in 1982. This being the 2nd time the U.S has waged War based on these charges. Secondly, allegations that Iraq possessed WMD which was used to justify the 2nd Iraq War was found to be false, therefore one would induce charges being brought against Saddam Hussein are at the least questionable. How can any of these charges be justified unless ALL the citizens of Iraq can participate in a stable Democratic Government in order to justly prosecute Saddam. How can these charges be justified when the American government is guided by faulty intelligence. And how can these charges be justified when the American President’s motives, ethics and credibility are in question. And if you are an American and you tell me Justice does not matter in War then I will call you a traitor to our Constitution.
5) The War on Terror. This War is against our true enemy, however the War in Iraq has diverted our focus, money, military, intelligence, capital, and diplomatic resources from the true War on Terror. Now our closet ally Great Britain has recently experienced multiple terrorist attacks. And frankly, paraphrasing the words of British Prime Minister Tony Blair “an attack against Great Britain is an attack against America“.
Below is a summary and excerpts from an essay entitled:
How the Weak Win Wars
“With the U.S. military engaged in armed conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan, Ivan Arreguin-Toft’s How the Weak Win Wars is a timely contribution to the ongoing debate over U.S. defense strategy in the post-September 11 security environment. First, Arreguin- Toft provides a well structured discussion of existing theories in the literature on how weaker actors have won wars against substantially more powerful states and articulates his own hypothesis to explain this phenomenon, which he calls “strategic interaction theory.”

He postulates that intuition would tell us “power matters most,” but notes that history tells us otherwise. In fact, not only have weak actors had sporadic successes in asymmetric conflicts, but the trend of their successes is increasing.

His argument is constructed on the premise that there are four competing explanations for weak victory in asymmetric wars, each of which has weaknesses in predicting outcomes or explaining the trend of increasing weak actor victories. The first of these hypotheses focuses on the nature of the actors. In this theory, authoritarian strong actors are said to have a greater probability of success in asymmetric conflict because they tend to lack the political vulnerability of a democracy. The second theory states that the diffusion of arms, particularly since the Second World War, has closed the aggregate power gap between weak and strong. In other words, even a weak power has a chance of success when equipped with modern weaponry. The third theory is that of interest asymmetry, which asserts that asymmetric wars tend to be fought with limited means for limited ends by the strong actor, but with unlimited means for the unlimited ends by the weak. Theoretically this interest asymmetry is more important to the outcome than relative power.

The final competing explanation is Arreguin- Toft’s own theory of strategic interaction. He postulates that the interaction of the strategies employed by the actors in an asymmetric conflict is the most likely predictor of outcome. His method of proof begins by dividing military strategy into two general categories. These categories are direct, such as conventional attack or defense, and indirect, such as counter-insurgency or guerilla warfare. His thesis is that when asymmetric actors employ similar strategies, as in the cases of direct versus direct or indirect versus indirect, the conflict favors the strong. On the contrary, when the strategies are of dissimilar types, the conflict favors the weak. The bulk of How the Weak Win Wars is dedicated to five case studies chosen from the statistical sampling. They include the Russo- Murid War of 1830- 1859, the Boer War, the Italo- Ethiopian War of 1935 - 1940, the Vietnam War, and the Afghan Civil War of the 1980’s.
Finally, he refers to the current conflict in Iraq as a “costly quagmire.” Arreguin- Toft means to convince the reader that when the very strong meet the weak in asymmetric armed conflict, strategy matters more than power. His work is extremely relevant in the current geopolitical context and serves as a warning to US policy makers to get military strategy right, regardless of relative power. Arreguin- Toft’s argument makes perfectly clear the perilous consequences of neglecting the importance of strategic interaction. ( Excerpts taking from a Review Essay found in the Harvard International Review Vol. 27 # 2, pg. 78 ) ”

My Opinion: In brief, we must give the Iraq People control of their nation immediately. This move would exemplify true Democracy, furthermore our Homeland is in jeopardy of being attacked. All resources must be kept here. America is a Democracy, and the People of our great nation bound by our very citizenry are not simply obligated to choose but we are called as Americans to higher standards in War, in Peace, in Justice, in our Democracy, and in the Respect of All Life. When we abandon these our very core beliefs we become weak and adhering to an ideology of terrorism ourselves. In this end we may very well loose the War in Iraq when its citizens smell a whiff of true Democracy and gain strength in the real hope of the sovereignty of their country.

FBI Keeps Files on Average Americans

People say that there have been no violations in regards to the FBI’s and the Police’s usage of new provisions found within the Patriot Act. I strongly beg to differ. The FBI has confirmed that it is maintaining files on non-profit organizations. Organizations whose missions are purely Civic and Humanitarian.

Are they doing this because these organizations tend to be composed of Americans that possess a more liberal and compassionate social perspective? Unjustly targeting & profiling American citizens subjecting them to undue surveillance and in the end wasting tax payer dollars. What is the intent & motivation for keeping these files? We know that the White House uses unethical practices to push its agenda. Then can we assume that an arm of government working below the White House will follow this lead; I believe so. Could we assume that President Bush ordered the surveillance of certain non-profits and citizens simply because they disagree with his political philosophy?

This is what I believe and what I believe level headed Americans also believe A Russian phrase says “the Fish rots from the Head.” In other words corruption starts from the Top down.

Many of these groups you may be affiliated with (like the ACLU & Green peace), I wonder if the FBI has a file on you? Unfortunately with all the new provisions for secret operations we will never know.

Justice and Due Process are constant no matter the time: Peace or War. We must repeal all laws passed since 9/11 impeding on the rights of American citizens.

The Progress of the Space Program is disappointing.

Why can't the U.S. build 2 New shuttles ready to fly within a few years?

The current shuttles are decades old, and they do not seem to be reliable? Is just like driving a 30 year old car for your daily activities. You don't see many people doing this. The current shuttles are antiques where their greatest value is in a museum. How can we go to Mars as President Bush said we would if we can’t manage one launch because of a sensor error?

And why are the costs of operating the space program so high? Are these cost artificial or actual? You know America has a lot of artificially inflated cost. The Space Program is one Prime example. This is one example of why our economy needs to and is starting to readjust (but that’s another debate).

Also, I hate to say it but we need to give the private sector the lead in Space Exploration?

A Matter of Principle: WE Must Impeach President Bush

A Matter of Principle: WE Must Impeach President Bush

If Republicans continue to support unethical policies of President Bush like using the White House to leak the name of a CIA agent, jeopardizing our National Security, in retaliation towards a civil servant (Ambassador Joe Wilson and his wife) because he disagreed with them, I will be on firm ground to call them ALL traitors. President Thomas Jefferson would agree.

Yes, I agree but this call for Impeachment is on principle. Realistically, it is a long shot for the Democrats to retake the House of Representatives. But how can any of you simply sit back and allow for these unethical practices to occur in the White House without demanding accountability? If there is no accountability within the White House then there will be none in your state, on your job, in your neighborhood, in your home, and in your family.

The White House, (and now I speak collectively from the White House janitor to the President) have lied to and knowingly mislead the American people. Bush is not longer our President. This was his decision and many of us who truly believe in America and what we represent will push for his removal. Just today July 28, 2005 Bush changed his WORD on what he said he’d do in regards to those that leaked the name of a CIA agent. This is the President that claimed to restore integrity into the White House, and he also claims to be a Christian. This is not an isolated incident but a pattern that continues to worsen. This is not a question of Democrat or Republican but of Democracy.

If WE, the American People do not draw the line in the White House, with the President then what are saying? We are saying we truly do not believe in the values we expose, and even our families even our children do not adhere to any standard of ethics or values.

HILARY CLINTON SERVES THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!

HILARY CLINTON SERVES THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!

Hilary Clinton is making major strides towards becoming the first female president of the U.S. While most politicians continue to ignore a call for changes from the American people Hilary Clinton is actually getting work done for not Just people of New York State but the entire country.

Here is what Hilary is doing to protect and strengthen American Families. When it comes to the family Hilary Clinton is consistent in her belief that “It takes a village”.

Clinton seeks video game sex scene probe
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- Sen. Hillary Clinton pressed Thursday for a government investigation into how simulated sex cropped up in a modified version of the blockbuster criminal adventure video game "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas."


“Clinton asked the Federal Trade Commission to investigate the origins of a downloadable modification that allows simulated sex in the personal computer version of one of the most popular and controversial video games in history.
"We should all be deeply disturbed that a game which now permits the simulation of lewd sexual acts in an interactive format with highly realistic graphics has fallen into the hands of young people across the country," Clinton wrote in a letter to the head of the Federal Trade Commission.
Saying the problem of explicit video games was "spiraling out of control," Clinton also said she was introducing legislation that would crack down on the sale of violent and sex-laden games to minors.
The legislation would impose a $5,000 penalty on retailers who sell adult-rated video games to underage children.
Clinton asked the FTC to look into whether Grand Theft Auto's rating of "M" (Mature 17+) should be changed to the rare "AO" (Adult Only), which would threaten to crimp sales at large retail outlets.
The PlayStation2 version of "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" was the No. 1 game of 2004, selling just over 5 million copies, according to industry researcher NPD Funworld.
She requested the agency to study whether retailers' enforcement policies were adequate to keep adult-rated video games out of the hands of minors.
An FTC spokeswoman said the agency had received Clinton's letter and was reviewing it.
Clinton's comments were the latest in a chorus of criticism that has intensified since the revelation about sex scenes in the modified Grand Theft Auto. The game series has drawn numerous detractors because of its sexual and violent content.
Players who download a modification, known as "hot coffee," from the Internet can make a male character engage in various sex acts with a virtual "girlfriend." Sex is suggested in the official version of the game, but does not happen on screen.
The game's manufacturer, a subsidiary of Take-Two Interactive Software Inc. called Rockstar Games, has said hackers are responsible for the modification.
In a statement released Thursday, Rockstar said it supported the video game rating system and efforts to keep adult-rated games away from children.
But without referring to Clinton, the company said it was "disappointed by comments that misrepresent Grand Theft Auto, detracting from the innovative and artistic merits of the game."
"Unfortunately, the recent confusion only serves to suggest that games do not deserve the same treatment as other forms of creative expression," Rockstar said in its statement.
The Entertainment Software Rating Board last week launched a probe into whether the sexual minigame content was deliberately hidden in the game code and unlocked by the "hot coffee" modification, or if it was solely the result of the modification.
The "hot coffee" modification, which violates the game's software user agreement, is the result of hackers –disassembling and then combining, recompiling and altering the game's source code, Rockstar said.”

Hilary Clinton’s Biography
http://www.whitehouse.gov/history/firstladies/hc42.html

My Opinion: You may ask why do I support Hilary? The answer is very simple; even though she is affiliated with the Democratic Party Hilary Clinton possesses the same political philosophy that I do. Hilary Clinton is a moderate and a safe candidate to hold office. Her views and stances are consistent. We know what she will do in office; she will tactfully & professionally lead the nation. There will be no surprises, or major failures as we see with President G.W. Bush. Republican Sen. John McCain has she would make a good President. Former President & her husband the Honorable Bill Clinton has said she would make a good President. And as a Christian it is refreshing to here that the Honorable Rev. Billy Graham has said that Hilary Clinton “should be running the nation.” She believes that government officials are public servants and that government can pursue policies that benefit all its citizens: Republican, Independent, and Democrats ALL alike.

Will she be the first female President? Will she be a moderate leader and truly Unite America?

President Bush Must Resign or Be Impeached.

There is a growing movement in the United States to Impeach both President Bush and Dick Cheney simultaneously, and have House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R) to serve out the remaining term.

Unfortunately it is near impossible to remove a President from office in the United States. For this to occur Democrats must retake Congress and then bring forth substantiated charges of "High Crimes & Misdemeanors"

I do believe many such charges can be found in:

*Matters of the War on Terror & Iraq: the usage of funds, humanitarian violations, misinformation to the public, disregard for international standards like the Geneva Convention, revelations found in the Downing Street Memo.

*The CIA LEAK with Karl Rove: which shows the White House authorizes and has a pattern of using government resources for unethical, and as it seems Republican Party activities.

*Misinformation to the American People: citizens have the right to oversight therefore we must be given correct information. Government officials do not have the option to lie, disinform, nor misinform. Just One Example: the White House brought a fake news reporter onto the White Press Core; he used a fake name and asked questions directly to the President. His name is James Dale Guckert.

* Provisions of the Patriot Act: provisions of the patriot act impede on matters of Due Process like protections against unlawful search and seizures.

All of you Republicans that call yourselves “Conservative” whom support these polices have misplaced your vote and your money (taxes) and I’d urge you to get on your knees and pray for some guidance.

There will be an Impeachment Rally in Washington D.C. on Sept. 24, 2005 http://votetoimpeach.org/

President Bush,

This “situation” with the CIA leak allegedly made by Karl Rove has been going on for 2 years.

Karl Rove remaining in service to you and the American people within the White House is not acceptable. Mr. Rove remaining as a member of your staff would make you, the President of the United States of America, just as guilty in this criminal act.


In addition Mr. President, if you do not agree this leak is a criminal act then what do you believe? You say you are a Christian, as I am. And there is only ONE issue that I have heard you speak of with comfort and sincerity and that is of your Faith. I hope it is this Faith that truly continues to guide you in your last term occupying the Office of President of the United States.

TERRORIST ATTACK in LONDON

TERRORIST ATTACK in LONDON

The closet ally of the United States, the United Kingdom has been attacked in their capital of London.

The UK is respected international as the second most world super power to the U.S. Just yesterday it was announced that London would host the 2012 Olympics. They won this honor over cities like Paris and New York.

The attack consisted of a series of explosions in the London transit system. There have been varied reports of fatalities and injuries. Al-Qaeda, the same terrorist group that toppled the World Trade Towers in NY have said they were responsible for this attack.

This marks 4 great world cities that have been attacked beginning on 9/11: New York, Washington D.C./ USA, Madrid/Spain, and London/England.

Opinion: America must support the British as they deal with this Terrorist Attack just as British Prime Minister Tony Blair put his career on the line to support President Bush’s War on Terror. Not to politicize this situation I pose the question of is the United States and World actually safer because of the way we approached the War on Terror and also how the U.S. and Great Britain have diverted resources away from the security of our countries towards the War in Iraq?

More to come as this story unfolds.

WHITEHOUSE COVERUP!!!

THE SMOKING GUN OF BUSH’S ADMINISTRATION!!!

Senior Bush Advisor Carl Rove allegedly leaked the name of an undercover CIA agent.

If these allegations are proven true Carl Rove may have to resign or worse this scandal that has been festering within the White House since 2003 may trigger the impeachment of President George W. Bush.

Other related information to this scandal:
Federal prosecutors demand that Time Magazine reporter Matthew Cooper and New York Times Reporter Judith Miller reveal their sources. Questions however are being raised about Reporter Bob Novack who is not facing equal jail time for his naming of this CIA agent. Prosecutors are investigating who in the Bush Administration leaked this classified information. Allegations say that Carl Rove was the source of this leak or was it President Bush himself?

More to Come as this Scandal in the White House unfolds.

Discussion of Impeachment

Complaints or Crimes?

Many have called my calling for the Resignation or Impeachment of President Bush & Dick Cheney as a list of complaints where only a couple charges could be tantamount to “High Crimes or Misdemeanors” as required by Law to remove the President from Office.

The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors. - - ARTICLE II, SECTION 4 OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

I will accept this criticism and continue to refine my message to fit within the parameters of our current Laws. However I’ll ask you to entertain the following:

1) The premise that WE the People through Congress possess the power to change this law dictating the terms required to Impeach a President. I would like to broaden these requirements to include such terms as incompetents, perjury, and misinformation. I would like to add a provision for direct participation from citizens through a referendum or recall process. You might ask why? In my opinion the problem with America today is its political parties. The founders of our country would have no respect for the Republican & Democratic Parties neither does our Constitution recognize them. Despite this currently WE, the People have no power in Congress and the White House except through one of these political parties.

2) What specifically defines high crime and misdemeanors? Stealing a candy bar is a misdemeanor. You tell me that Lying to the American people does not fit into these current terms of impeachment, especially for this specific situation of “War”, which has lead to the death of American soldiers and innocent civilians throughout the world. Am I wrong to believe that if the reasons for beginning this war as presented to the American people by the Bush Administration were distortions and fabrications that these lives are being lost in vain, and our troops are being used for the financial gain of a wealthy segment of our citizenry led by our elected President George W. Bush? Is this not a crime?

3) The President cannot simply declare War without Congress’s approval, so therefore there must be requirements for a country declaring War; I however do not know the legalities of this. If the President withheld, changed, “fitted”, or fabricated information wouldn’t this be breaking the law, equating to at least a misdemeanor? Where does the Downing Street Memo fit in? In addition to blatant manipulation of how the public exercises its right to oversight of the government through receiving information via Media: the fake reporter Jeff Gannon placed in the White House press core, paying government agencies to promote partisan agenda items, PBS? Perjury is a crime, wouldn’t these actions by Bush at least equate to perjury? President Bush did take an oath of Office, is this Oath simply ceremonial? Do the WE the People have no recourse in these matters? Recourse greater than simply waiting for the next election?

I make these comments to seek clarification on the Law on Impeachment of a President for in my eyes President Bush is no longer fit to serve the people of the United States of America.
