Who in the election will fight for our cause?

I didn't know how to title this post...  

Without getting into a big political debate, can someone tell me, which candidates, on each side, will best be helping the Hep C research funding?    It doesn't matter to me, whether you are saying Democrat/Republican/Indep., or whatever, I'm just curious if anybody knows from past history, researching this, or anything like that???   I'm not saying which party I'm affliated with, that doesn't matter in the general election anyway because you can vote across party lines in that election if you so choose.    Anyway, I'm really curious about this.  I'm also wondering if there's some website that might tell me where the various candidates stand in their past support of HIV, since I figure that if they have a good history with supporting HIV/AIDS research that they might care about HCV.  Anyway, any info would be appreciated.  I hope that this will not end up being a debate because that's not what I'm looking for.

Happy Holidays everyone.

Susan

without any discussion of, or mention of......poop.

Well how is poop political, you may ask ? Well if you need to ask that, then you really don't know poop then do you ? Politics is a poopy business.It is filled with poopy people with poopy ideas who don't know poop about poop. But one thing is for sure. They all poop. Some of them have their poop together better than others. I imagine some have really runny lose poop, others poop diamonds or titanium.

Some think their poop doesn't stink but others disagree. No one really smells their own poop...wait...that's breath. No one ever smells their own breath but some peoples breath does smell like poop but they'd never know it which is kind of strange since their nose is right above their mouth.  

I think politicians should be required to talk about their poop. It shows that they are people just like us. Maybe Wolf Blitzer, when he takes a break from his sichyayshun room thing, could just blurt out in one of them debates, 'When was the last time you pooped, sir ?' Who knows, one of 'em might say, 'I need to poop right now...' I'd bet Dennis Kucinich has never pooped in his life. I don't think aliens poop. Or maybe he could ask one of them if they've ever had the poop scared out of them of if they have ever pooped their pants or how often they change their underwear or, like the Donald, they wear new underwear every day, which to me, is the surest sign of success but it's a little highbrow for me. I think if I were rich, I'd probably wear a pair of underwear twice, maybe even three times, before I gave them to good will.

I don't know, maybe I'm alone in pondering these things...I've just always wondered why poop was never on the table or up for discussion among the candidates since it's the only thing we really share in common. I wouldn't mind seeing an interview or two from their bathrooms, maybe while they are in the act of pooping, just to see how they handle stress 'n stuff. You know, see how tidy they are. I just can't see myself voting for someone who doesn't properly clean or is constipated. For example, ask them; do you use a bidet, strictly paper and if so, what kind, or perhaps moist towelettes. Hell for all we know one of 'em keeps a poop rag in the sink, like myself.  That guy would get my vote. I think good poop etiquette would go hand in hand, so to speak, with a good foreign policy.Think of the cultural differences. In the ME, they just squat over a hole, which I find barbaric and completely unacceptable. Which reminds me...my peace plan for the ME involves sit down toilets and more air conditioning. I think that would go far to change the mood over there. I know if I was all hot and sweaty and had to squat over a hole to poop I'd want to blow up something myself. Maybe even cut a few heads off.  I could run on the cool poop platform. Form a party. Give it a cool name like the pooper party and anyone who didn't join would be...yeah that's right.... a party pooper.

I dunno..these are just things I ponder late at night and early in the morning. Call me crazy.

I agree with you about the news not getting here. I lived in Europe and visit there often.  The news is so different, we dont' hear half the stuff reported by European reporters! That must have been a nightmare seeing those heads....geez. And of course we didn't see it. The news is owned by a few people who control what we see.  

NY;  I love Clinton and would like Hillary to win. Not sure who I am for at this point. Did you watch the speeches yesterday at NH.  Hers was read off of notes, really cold. Obama's speech was electric and reminds me of the magic of when JFK spoke and campaigned. Actually if any of the three won, I would be happy!

Mike, I agree with you about borders. If there is such a threat what are we doing to control the borders?  I still agree with you about the insurgents coming into Iraq, where they hadn't been before. We know there are training camps on the Afgan and Pakistan border. Still don't get why we are not there in the numbers necessary to get them.  

Mr. Liver;  Wow,  Your tone is so much more tame.  It is easy to read your POV's and actually I could understand what you mean on some things.  I do agree with Mike though,  Please don't become Commander in Cheif! LOL

BTW, prior to the US "invasion" of Iraq, when the US newspapers were covering news about "poor" Chechen population completely mistreated by Russians.  During this time one English and French reporters were be-headed by Chechens -- even though these reporters were there with the exceptional intend to help Chechen population.  I didn't see this news in the US newspapers either -- but I have a copy in German.

Mike,

Very well said!
I have relatives in Eastern Europe --- they woke up one morning only to find 9 (nine!) policemen heads hanging on the trees in the center of the city (population of ~0.5 mil.)!!  I didn't see this news on the US news broadcast!!

The US Army should be increased at least to the size of the prior Clinton's reduction.  I don't want to have human heads hanging in any American city!!

I tried not to get involved in this subject.

But it occurred to me the most of American public is too nice and too naive even to comprehend the danger is out there!!

I didn't vote for Bush, but I think we should give him credit for keeping away further attacks on the US.  All politicians criticizing the US Army (like torture, etc.) doing disservice to the US and all peaceful nations.

Cheers!
