However I will only be elected if something truly cataclysmic happens, like a nuclear holocaust, and/or  biological warfare that kills half or so of the people on the planet, and/or Ponzi  Greenspan's economic bubble busts unleashing the wrath of his $70 trillion in unregulated derivates and repos and basically all of us are "dying", "destitute" and "dead." Certainly you and the survivors would not be happy Republicans or Democrats and would want me to enforce US Constitution Article III. Section . 3. "Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, ... " as it applies to those guilty, Neocons, communi$t$, and zioni$t$, which of course I would cheerfully do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Who would be your top 5 choices as a running-mate if nominated by the Democratic Party?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;In my opinion a qualified Vice Presidential candidate would be one who is a good executive, insightful, educated in many fields, and understands there is a group of people which is in direct opposition to the US Constitution and the basic rights it stands upon, and has the desire and courage to stand up to these people.  No Democrat or politician comes to mind who qualifies because most of their moves are mandated by those who invent the mass propaganda which take away our freedom and democracy.&lt;/em&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) Would you ever consider running as a third party nominee?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;No.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) Who else do you think will definitely run for the Democratic nomination?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Hillary Clinton, Howard Dean, Lyndon LaRouche, Cindy Sheehan&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5) Who are the top 5 strongest candidates in the Republican Party?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Karl Rove, Tom DeLay, Harriet Miers, John Bolton,  Arnold Schwartznegger&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6) Whom is the bigger threat:  Syria, Iran, or North Korea?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;The threat to the survival of the planet is the USA run by Neocons. Syria, Iran, and North Korea are all threats to us of course if they are attacked by the United States and/or Israel, which are considered by the people of the planet as one and the same.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7)  Has politics become too partisan?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Yalie Skull and Bones (?) Howard Dean handed off to Yalie Skull and Bones John Kerry who handed off to Yalie Skull and Bones Little George, so we are a one party country.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because of his honesty and conviction, I officially throw my support behind Mr. Crow for his party's nomination.  He is a refreshing voice and should win.  Stay tune for more about Randy Crow and his comments regarding the 2006-2008 electoral season.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17373454-113003061435765477?l=joementum.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://joementum.blogspot.com/feeds/113003061435765477/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17373454&amp;postID=113003061435765477' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17373454/posts/default/113003061435765477'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17373454/posts/default/113003061435765477'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://joementum.blogspot.com/2005/10/interview-with-presidential-candidate.html' title=''/><author><name>Joe Wendt</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10073729957921680827</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17373454.post-112898963200848655</id><published>2005-10-10T17:10:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-10-10T17:13:52.013-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;Victory in Germany&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Schroeder has conceded, Merkel is now Chancellor of Germany.

So far, the leaders are Donald Tusk of Civic Platform and Lech Kaczynski of the Law &amp; Justice Party.  Neither have enough votes to win outright, so a runoff is likely.  In the event of a runoff, I am throwing all my support behind Kaczynski.  He is the Mayor of Warsaw, has demonstrated a great ability to lead, and his platform is agreeable.  He promises a clear break from post-communist Poland under the banner of the "Fourth Republic", a return to Christian values while protecting workers' rights and the welfare state.  I urge all Poles to vote Kaczynski and bring greatness back to Poland.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17373454-112887299133769160?l=joementum.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://joementum.blogspot.com/feeds/112887299133769160/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17373454&amp;postID=112887299133769160' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17373454/posts/default/112887299133769160'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17373454/posts/default/112887299133769160'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://joementum.blogspot.com/2005/10/poland-votes-poland-is-holding-its.html' title=''/><author><name>Joe Wendt</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10073729957921680827</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17373454.post-112878236348596096</id><published>2005-10-08T07:34:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-10-08T07:39:23.486-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;More Uribe&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The constitutional court of Colombia is preparing to decide whether President Uribe can run for a second term.

I expect the only other viable challenger to Davis' nomination, Rod Smith, will also dropout in the coming weeks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This could be a problem for the GOP, since they are going to have a bloody two way primary contest.  Davis could beat either Crist or Gallagher.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17373454-112878011477709967?l=joementum.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://joementum.blogspot.com/feeds/112878011477709967/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17373454&amp;postID=112878011477709967' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17373454/posts/default/112878011477709967'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17373454/posts/default/112878011477709967'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://joementum.blogspot.com/2005/10/united-front-in-florida-democratic.html' title=''/><author><name>Joe Wendt</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10073729957921680827</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17373454.post-112864942568988950</id><published>2005-10-06T18:29:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-10-06T18:43:45.693-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;SERENITY NOW!!!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As we all know, children of famous politicians also have political aspirations.  Look at Bush's, the Kennedy children, and others.  But now there is a candidacy that is so mind boggling that I must comment on it.  Jack Carter, son of President Jimmy Carter, is running for US Senate in Nevada.  Why?  First of all, Jimmy Carter was &lt;strong&gt;the&lt;/strong&gt; worse President of the 20th century, so being his son isn't going to win him any popularity points.  Second, he has only lived in the state since 2003 (what, he couldn't get elected in Georgia?).  Third, he has never held any political position (appointed nor elected) in his life.  So, here is my question for him:  are you fucking insane?  What you think because your a President's son you can be a politician?  I'm pretty sure the children of Mussolini, Pinochet, Pol Pot and Idi Amin can prove my point can prove your thinking wrong.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17373454-112864942568988950?l=joementum.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://joementum.blogspot.com/feeds/112864942568988950/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17373454&amp;postID=112864942568988950' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17373454/posts/default/112864942568988950'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17373454/posts/default/112864942568988950'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://joementum.blogspot.com/2005/10/serenity-now-as-we-all-know-children.html' title=''/><author><name>Joe Wendt</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10073729957921680827</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17373454.post-112842403269824023</id><published>2005-10-04T04:03:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-10-04T04:07:12.696-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;Doom for Abbas?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Palestinian legislature has voted to urge President Abbas to form a new government after his failure to take control of the Gaza Strip, leaving in virtual anarchy.

According to polls, Republican Doug Forrester has cut the lead of US Senator Corzine from double-digits to just a mere 4 points.  This is a good sign for the Republican party and will make 2005 a bad year for the Democrats.  This gubernatorial race is important because it will show both parties standing in the eyes of American citizens and is an indicator of the likely 2006 results.  If the Democrats lose this Governorship, in one of there few strongholds, then they will not do well in 2006.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17373454-112835288716155307?l=joementum.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://joementum.blogspot.com/feeds/112835288716155307/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17373454&amp;postID=112835288716155307' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17373454/posts/default/112835288716155307'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17373454/posts/default/112835288716155307'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://joementum.blogspot.com/2005/10/miracle-in-new-jersey-there-has-been.html' title=''/><author><name>Joe Wendt</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10073729957921680827</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17373454.post-112835191471904052</id><published>2005-10-03T07:56:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-10-03T08:39:29.646-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;Justice Harriet Miers?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As many of you know, Bush has nominated White House Counsel Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court. I have a question: what makes her qualified? She was never a Judge, she never argued a case before the Supreme Court. Her resume is hardly good enough to be a judge, let alone a Justice of the Supreme Court. Now, I understand that Bush wants to nominate a conservative, but couldn't find a more qualified candidate? Their most be a huge list of conservative judges more qualified then Miers.

Current polls show popular soccer player George Weah to be the front-runner.  This is perhaps the greatest tragedy for this country's new found democracy.  What in hell makes this man qualified to be in any position of authority.  California elected a man like Weah, and they are regretting ever since.  He has no idea how to manage finances, negotiate deals, or how to compromise. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The best candidate to be Liberia's President is clearly Charles Brumskine.  He clearly has the experience and the ideas to rebuild this nation.  Brumskine should be President.  That fact is as clear as day.  Will my endorsement effect his chances, I don't know.
