  The only likeable candidate one could logically vote for is Dennis Kucinich. He goes where no corporate patsy dare to go. He is courageous and forthright. He is actually the people's candidate whereas all the others appear to be bought and sold by the corporate powers that be. When he is allowed to debate with all of the "starlets"; he outshines them all and wins the debate. He is the dark horse that could turn USA's image around and restore the freedoms the people so easily complied to give up. Listen to his points and what he will strive to accomplish …

  whattheheck : Instead of meaningless and narrow quizzes designed to test the candidates abilities to “think on his feet” — would like only two questions to each person: • What does the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution say? • How would you go about carrying out those principles if elected? ........................................ This is the best advice I have heard and it makes more sense than they blowing wind up everyone's poop-shoot. A couple of candidates in both parties have been addressing these questions while the promoted "dream" candidates have been parroting what their "sponsors" are dictating to them. The complicit corporate …

  "We all know a state cannot choose to secede from the Union…" I think one should research and look into the US Constitution. Many people believe in the myths that have been circulating without investigating its source. The last time I looked, states can secede from the union; there was not the required amount of states to ratify the change; thus states CAN secede from the union. Case in point is Vermont's issue. In Hawaii's case, it would not be secession but deoccupation; which is a fact and not a myth as most believe. Those who choose to enlist will have …

  As an Army Education Specialist I am appauled at the blatant bias of this article. The SASVAB is given as an assessment tool for Counselors, Teachers, Students and parents. In addition this is a statitically accurate measure of an individuals potential. Only 3 % of the people taking this test enlist. Please review your facts before writing anymore articles. The Military, in general, gets more negative press than any other organization. Try printing something positive-it might hurt but you can do it. Allan Silberstein .................................... As a parent, I can tell you from experience, this article is not biased. The SASVAB …

  "...But because of those people in the military, past, present and future, you can choose to voice your opinion as you do..." I see you relish in keeping the myth alive. Remember, the USA is not the only country that had those freedoms. The other point is that it's the rich man's war and the poor man's fight. Take a look at what your congresspeople have allowed and you will see your freedoms diminshing; especially freedom of speech. We all have begun to realize that the wars fought is to preserve the freedoms of the corporations and not that of the …
