Terrorists

Do you want to know who the real terrorist are? I know how this sounds. I will get the old "conspiracy nut" thrown at me. Cigarette companies kill thousands of people every year. I know, I know...people choose to smoke. That's not a good argument. We have a substance that is known to kill and it is sold everywhere. Why can't we shut down tobacco companies? They are tool powerful and they have lot of money.
One of the biggest problems with this issue is that the medical bills for people that smoke is going to be paid for by everyone. If tobacco killed people pretty quickly, then this would not be an issue.

2008 President

 At this point in the game I am leaning towards Obama or Hillary. McCain is a strong candidate, but it looks like the US is ready for a change. The republicans had plenty of opportunities with control of the legislative and executive branches. They didn't do a horrible job, but a few key missteps - Iraq, Katrina and corruption - they have quite a hole to climb out of.

I'm hoping for a Clinton/Obama ticket, though that is wishful thinking. Think of that duo, they could control the US for 16 years if they proved themselves. That would push me back to 2024. Nevertheless, this is not going to happen.

The race is early and this one is going to get ugly for both parties, but for now I'm backing these two - we will see what happens in the next 6 months.

President 2020

One of the reasons for this blog is to let everyone know that I am forming an exploratory committee for the 2020 Presidential Race. Why not start as early as possible. Since I do not come from a wealthy family, nor have I become wealthy through my labors; I will need a lot more time to get my message out to the people. My hopes are that I will not have to raise millions (by 2020 it might be billions) to run my campaign. This strategy will also allow me not to have to sell my soul to big business. Yea!
