6. Where to begin?
Not enough time and not enough reason to even begin to go into it. Support whoever you want. For now it is still a free country. :)

7. We could do a helluva lot worse

Seriously, what a revolution THAT would unleash! It would put the brakes on this decade of regression.

17. I'm not a huge fan of hers, but
I see her as about equal to the DLC Dems we are likely to get, and infinitely more electable.

14. She's not one to take a position unless its has to do with her pet project
otherwise.......she ain't going there.

I like her well enough....on my Teevee as a talk show hostess. That's about it.

But I can't watch her anymore....cause she's on my ABC channel...which doesn't see the light of day in my house.

and yeah....and I'm a black female...so there!

15. You are kidding, right?
She has not taken a single stand on anything politcal in this country. I guess she was burnt once on the beef thing and is afraid to open her mouth!

16. Only if she could make more money
than she makes now.

Oprah is all about the Benjamins. If it don't make her dough, it aint on the show.

Let's see, some famous actors and personalities that used their fame and became politicians:

Ronald Reagan
Arnold Schwarzenneger
Fred Thompson
Jesse "The Body" Ventura
Fred "Gopher" Grandy
Ben "Cooter" Jones.......

All of them a waste of skin.
