hmmmmm..that's an interesting hypothesis that i hadn't thought of. regardless, i give the speech an A. he's a class act. i think it might win him the nomination assuming that votes of the people are counted.

I hate political speeches but I forced myself to listen to the entire speech. My opinion? It was a blockbuster.

It was a blockbuster.

It was, and hopefully it will help him win the nomination over Hillary. He will have a tough fight with the corrupt warmonger, McCain.

THIS IS TOO GOOD!!!!

According to a variety of sources, the following presidential candidates are either members of one of the groups or have strong ties: Hillary Rodham Clinton, Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney, Barack Obama, John McCain, John Edwards, Fred Thompson, Joe Biden, Chris Dodd and Bill Richardson.

Mike Huckabee, though not a member, spoke to the CFR in September. Since then, his political star has risen to the point that he has become a top-tier candidate.

So often throughout recent history it has been the case.

Ever since Democrat Adlai Stevenson challenged Republican Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1952 and 1956, the odds have significantly favored those with membership in the elite groups.

In 1960, both John F. Kennedy and Richard M. Nixon were members.

In 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson was not a member. Neither was his opponent, Barry Goldwater. But Johnson had already staffed his administration with plenty of insiders.

In 1968, it was Nixon versus club member Hubert H. Humphrey.

In 1972, it was Nixon again against Democratic Party CFR member George McGovern.

In 1976, it was CFR Republican Gerald Ford losing to CFR Democrat Jimmy Carter.

In 1980, Ronald Reagan was not a member, but his running mate, George H.W. Bush, was. So were both of his opponents – Carter and independent John Anderson. Assuming office, however, Reagan quickly named 313 CFR members to his team.

In 1984, another CFR member, Walter Mondale, was nominated by the Democratic Party to challenge Reagan.

In 1988, CFR member Bush took on CFR member Michael Dukakis.

In 1992, Bush was challenged by an obscure governor from Arkansas, Bill Clinton, who won the "trifecta" by being a member of the CFR, Trlateral Commission and Bilderberg Group. He was also a Rhodes scholar – another favored credential of the worldwide elite.

In 1996, Clinton was challenged by CFR member Bob Dole.

In 2000, CFR member Al Gore ran against non-member George W. Bush, but his running mate, Dick Cheney, was.

In 2004, Bush was challenged by CFR member John Kerry.

The CFR most certainly has more influence than any of us would desire, or put up with if we could help it.

But, IMO, a reading of the above would leave anyone to conclude that the listing presents politicians falling within a range of full-hearted CFR'ers down to suck-ups to the elitists. Given that, sad as that may be, I refuse to relinqish my right to particate in the process.

Frankly sir, and meaning no offense, it is also my opinion that thosee that do fall within a spectrum also .... from zany to childish.

How could an Obama supporter that pretended to support Ron Paul offend me?
