Who Do
YOU Want as the next US President?
Want Change? Want Experience?
The field of candidates keeps narrowing... do
you...
Want the first African American President?
First woman President?
The first Morman President?
Should any of those things matter?
NO!
But where they stand on the issues does.
Does this matter...
A 72 year old POW from Nam who says
he will never forgive "the gooks"? Oh... but he
apologized and said it only referred to his
captors.
Wonder what the POW's in Guantanamo will be
calling Americans (us!) if they ever get out?
Here's some food for thought -

Google 'McCain, gooks' and you'll find lots
more!
Only YOU can decide
who becomes the next President - but only if you
vote.
Voting in primaries determines who will be the
candidate
for each of the major political parties.
Here are some sites to
check out the issues
that do not endorse any candidate
and let you make up your own mind
