Obama - Thompson - Gingrich - your roundup of politics this week (video)



What I took away from this interview is:

* Hillary one-upped Obama
* Thompson got better staff for his campaign
* Gingrich is nuts

wetube? what a bad joke., that was a stupid question, and irresponsible answers by both obama and clinton. although, between the two, I'd side with obama, if not for the sole reason that I can't stand Hillary.
Thompson's beginning to agitate me, I wish he would declare already. Gingrich should just sew his mouth shut.

You seem to be a conservative J. Locke, is that right? Are you a Giuliani man? How was Hillary's answer irresponsible?

That's a heavily spun interpretation I think; they don't have time to thoroughly explain themselves, yet Hillary took a shot because Obama didn't cover every hypothetical. The spirit of the question was whether the candidates would pursue direct diplomacy, even with the "Axis of Evil," not exactly when and how they'd be meeting with people. That said, she's done a good job of reminding people Obama is less experienced, while Obama seems to overdo his idea that Hillary and others have been corrupted by Washington--and I say this as a supporter of Obama over Hillary--because Hillary seems better in a debate, while Obama seems better in speeches.

Well normally I would stress that I'm an american above all else when somebody asks me a question like that, I'll just skip it. I am socially liberal and economically conservative. I try to stay independent of party lines, but I do lean slightly towards the right. Honestly, it depends on my mood. I misspoke on Hillary speaking irresponsibly. I respect her as a person, but I have no respect whatsoever for her politically. She is a political chamelion who will say anything to get a vote. she was quick to bash obama, and completely missed his point. As far as being a Giuliani man, that would be a no as of now. I think its too early for be to back a specific candidate, but I like Thompson alright, as well as Huckabee. I would also be okay with Obama or Edwards. Granted, they wouldn't be my first choice, but I'd choose them over Mrs. Clinton anyday. I don't know how reliable they are, but these are some of my poll results:

Your Vote Score: 52% Republican, 48% Democrat
You are truly an independent voter, and you don't fit well with either party.
Maybe you should choose one issue to vote on - or look into third parties!


Your Political Profile:
Overall: 50% Conservative, 50% Liberal

Social Issues: 25% Conservative, 75% Liberal

Personal Responsibility: 75% Conservative, 25% Liberal

Fiscal Issues: 50% Conservative, 50% Liberal

Ethics: 25% Conservative, 75% Liberal

Defense and Crime: 75% Conservative, 25% Liberal


They seem to be a pretty accurate breakdown of where I stand Politically.

This is a very sobering analysis for me. I'm actually a Registered Democrat. I think I need something to drink.




Your Vote Score: 56% Republican, 44% Democrat

In the words of Forrest Gump: "Shit Happens." Maybe it's time to reevaluate yourself.
