In Richardson, I see an intellectually mature man. The N.H. TV debate showed me Ban-Abortionists, including Ron Paul, behaving as if churches OWN all pregnant women. Richardson knows what women know, that it's torture to be forced to complete an unplanned conception. As for men suffering "post-abortion-regret" what bIgamist or brothel client wants a baby for his wife to know about? He didn'T say it but Richardson probably knows proflifers think every baby is a potential tither and church benefactor if it can be baptized. Just once. I'd love to hear a Prolife preacher say "Don't abort a potential tither--I NEED THE MONEY." MONEY,"

Richardson has my voe after he said he changed his mind about JFK appointee Jusiice White, afer "Whizzer" said he was against Roe v Wade. All candidates mention creating jobs, etc. but he sees the tie between compulsory parenthood and poverty and cheap labor, etc. Roe v Wade is not about "privacy." It is about liberating pregnant women to move about, TO TRAVEL AS THEY PLEASE and not be cooped up like all Muslim women who can't go anywhere without a male relative. If Supreme Court judges try to dump Roe v Wade, they can be impleached for banning freedom of movement to pregnant women.

I'm for Hillary, despite the fact that she and Bill are now "old" establishment vs. new when he first ran. Not because she's a woman either -- the feminist-era shrillness/ anger she's got is a negative. But because she's not making promises she can't keep unlike Obama and Edwards who want to be all things to all people, play the popuilist card and are naive in foreign affairs -- giving enemy a timetable for Iraq withdrawal, soft on enforcing immigration (pandering to the illegals/Hispanic vote, then saying something else in Iowa) --Hillary, Biden,Dodd McCain, Giuliani and Richardson = most knowledgeable but she's most in middle.

Even in corporate sector,executives are hired on the basis of their traits,relevent for the job but persons like Bush get catapulted in the corridor of power by kick of circumstance and Machiavellian tactics of their cohorts,the result is chaos and quagmires. This time choice must be on traits and the best choice is Obhama.

A new approach to politics is what I'm looking for, so my choice is Barack Obama. I have read both of his books, which I recommend as a way to get to know his thinking and background. And no, I'm not part of the "youth" movement, since I'm 72, but having lived through so much disappointment in what has been "politics as usual," I am interested in change. Obama has been solidly against this disastrous war and the "Bush Doctrine" of pre-emptive war, and this is very important to me.

America is not a Democratic country. Lets resite the pledge "I pledge allegance to the flag of the United States of America and to the REPUBLIC for which it stands one nation under God indivisible with liberty and justice for all." Restore the Republic i will be voting for Ron Paul.
