A wall along the Mexican border will not decrease the likelihood of terrorists entering the U.S.

If so, why then are we not building a wall along the Canadian border as well? People who are racist toward Mexicans should just admit it -- at least then they wouldn't be cowardly, lying racists.

Sarah Palin is not qualified to be the President of the United States.

Give me a break. The woman believes Jesus rode a dinosaur. Last week.

Sarah Palin had a negative impact on John McCain's candidacy.

She solidified support for Obama by displaying the ignorance and backwardness of the Republican base.

Vice President Dick Cheney should be impeached.

Impeaching Bush without impeaching Cheney would be dangerous. It could conceivably result in a scenario wherein the most evil human being in this modern world ascended to the Oval Office

Military experience is not an important qualification for the presidency.

I vote based upon the issues and positions, not the resume.

Obama's foreign trip will have a negative effect on his candidacy.

Obama's absence gave the McCain campaign an opportunity to lob cheap shots without fear of rebuke. By the time Obama returned to the US, the damage was done and further discussion was moot.

Democratic candidates should not withdraw from the Fox News debate.

No, but Faux News really needs its FCC license revoked, for trying to pass blatant editorialism as journalism, and opinion as fact. Mind you, they're not the only ones doing this -- they're just the m...

Films do not have the power to effect social change.

Very little if any. If so, then "Fahrenheit 9/11" and "An Inconvenient Truth" should have been enough to unseat the Bush Administration,

Barack Obama will win the 2008 presidential election.

But it's not a lock by any means. The Republicans have a whole *deck* of hate cards, race cards and fear cards that they haven't yet played. They have yet to break out their latest Karl Rove.
