Two thumbs up for whoever wrote that headline.

To be fair, these were said one at a time by many different people. And would you believe it? They had different answers. Who'da thunk it?

The point is that they are all either stupid, unrealistic, or both. Except for maybe end the war, which depending on the canidate is possibly unlikely.

The entire debate was them patting each other on the back about how the federal government can solve all your problems. Blech. I'm sick of Bush's crap, but to be honest most of his shiat will be pretty easy to undo, if the next president has the will to do it (which is hardly certain). Things like making everyone dependent on the government for health care would be a lot harder to undo.

Goddamnit, Democrats. You had the biggest opening since Watergate, and you farked around with this useless political posturing and now it's leaking away.

If you hadn't squandered your approval ratings in the first four months of your majority, you would have practically had the Mandate of Heaven in another six when all the nasty skeletons really start piling up around the White House.

The election is still more than a year away. We are already sick of all the candidates. This perpetual campaign that seems to have developed is not good for anyone.

Ron Paul want to eliminate the IRS and the Federal Reserve in his first 100 days. How is that more likely than John Edwards traveling around the world?

I'm voting for the little weird guy cuz his wife is actually kinda hot. He must have balls just to ask her out.

Only here a could weird little freak get some hot poontang like that.

I'd settle for someone saying they will improve the NSC like Ike did. Oversight and reasonable debate within the federal government itself? What a concept! Frankly I will vote for anyone at this point who a) I think has a chance in hell of winning (sorry, but as of now that ain't Ron Paul, sadly) b) promises to fix social security, and by fix I mean make opt out programs, privatize, or remove entirely.

I'm quoting this because it's so true. =(

Was it too much to ask for a little tiny bit of oversight? On anything?

Why not? Jackie Chan did it in 80 days... in a hot air balloon even!!

the federal reserve is a private consortium of banks, making money out of nothing, backed by nothing, at interest...

He just earned my vote.

The "free college for everybody" and "educate 100 million children around the world" sounded fun too.

Who was it that openly pandered to the teacher question and said upgrading schools would be his first priority?

Unfettered gun owner rights, woohooo I might actually vote for him if he comes out and states that.

I think Richardson had the best answer: minimum wage for teachers. Who wants to argue with that?

But the smackdown of the evening goes to Obama: "You're about four and a half years late on leadership" to Edwards. Ha!

I think CNN showed some prescience by seating Clinton, Obama and Richardson in the middle, and shoving that wannabe-Kennedy phony to the side.

Richardson also gets points for proposing to boycott the Bejing Games if China doesn't step up on Darfur (seeing that they import something like 80% of their oil from Sudan). That's hard diplomacy right there, folks.

I don't consider "restore Constitutional rights in this country" stupid or unrealistic.

Uh, neither do I. That wasn't in the headline.

Though I'm gonna go out on a limb and predict that the Constitutional rights he's talking about are only the ones Bush has damaged, not the ones that all his predecessors (GOP and Dem) damaged. You know, like maybe restoring the 2nd and 4th Amendments that have been flat-out ignored for "public safety" and the "war on drugs".

rydub: Who wants to argue with that?

Uh, I do. The federal government has absolutely no role to play in education.

Of course, that's just that silly "Constitution" thing getting in the way again.

Or at least work towards those ends, Subby.

Besides, the first one's pretty doable. If WhatsHisPuss can do it in 80 days, surely the President can do it in 100.
