Possible Presidential candidates for 2008 By Russell Conover * WCnewsmagazine The 2008 Presidential election looks to be an exciting one due to the variety of candidates and the perspectives and promises of each one . It remains to be seen who, from this list (or elsewhere), will end up on the final ballots, but each of these people has real strengths and potential. Candidates (in alphabetical order by last name) include: e Hillary Clinton - Clinton is currently a United States Senator representing New York. She wants to see quality, affordable healthcare for every single American citizen. She wants to see all children get the education they deserve through good school systems. Clinton wants to preserve the environment so that future generations can enjoy the earth. She also wants to strengthen Homeland Security to avoid another September 11 for America. e John Edwards - Edwards is a former senator who represented North Carolina. One of his top priorities is strengthening public school systems so children can get good educations. He believes in increasing military compensation by improving the pay, housing and healthcare for American troops. Edwards believes that our country must be protected but not by sacrificing the rights and freedoms of its citizens. He is also in favor of controlling immigration by increasing border security, increasing amnesty for illegal aliens and reducing border deaths. e Rudy Giuliani - Giuliani was the mayor of New York City between the years of 1994 and 2001. His strength during the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, shows his potential as President. The law WCnewsmagazine 1/7 enforcement strategies for New York City he enacted have become models for other countries around the world. Giuliani implemented the largest and most successful welfare-to-work initiative in the country (in the state of New York). He also works to find homes for children seeking adoption. e John Kerry - Kerry is currently a United States Senator representing Massachusetts. His Kids First Act provides health care coverage to many of the eleven million children who do not have it. He has put together an impressive list of nonprofit organizations. Kerry is in favor of supporting national troops by keeping faith with members of the United States military. He also works to make sure all votes in elections are counted. e John McCain - McCainis currently a United States senator representing Arizona. He is in favor of campaign finance reform to regulate campaign financing; however, McCain says its unlikely he will run for President in 2008. e Condoleezza Rice - Rice is currently the United States Secretary of State. As one of her accomplishments, she helped bring the Vietnam War to an end. Rice has not committed to running for President in 2008, but she is considering the possibility. The 2008 list of Presidential candidates is one of the strongest ever, and it will be exciting to see which man or woman emerges victorious to become the next President of the United States. Why the two-party system doesnt work By Joshua Farmer * WCnewsmagazine | could sit and politicize all night; | could list documented historical examples, or even use polls to illustrate how the two-party system that dominates U.S. Politics has failed us. | won't do that. An issue as touchy as this could easily become farce; | could waste my time writing about the opinions of radicals and extremists. | won't do that. There are but a few justifying reasons | believe our political party system has failed us. Some could say that over the course of the United States 220 plus years of existence, having two parties has always worked out. True, over the last 150 years, both parties and their respective leaders have been responsible for molding America into the economic and military superpower we are today. | believe it could have been done with more than two. You, the reader, may not agree with the reasons | list. In fact, you may find those reasons radical in themselves. However, with the media hype/legal joke the last two Presidential elections have been, | find the justification for my reasons present all around us. Corruption and having a choice to pick the proper leader, regardless of party affiliation, are just a couple of reasons why we need reform in our party system. We must find that middle ground. The Democratic and Republican parties have always had a history of scandal. Go back in your mind a few years, try almost sixty, and remember JFK? He had affairs with several women that were never uncovered until after his death, including Marilyn Monroe. JFK was a Democrat. Fast forward a few years and you have Watergate, with Richard Nixon at the helm. Nixon was a Republican. Imagine yourself living in 1984, and Ronald Reagan and the Iran- Contra affair tops the headlines. Reagan was another Republican. Now picture President Bill Clinton, our beloved philanthropist. Clinton had Whitewater and then another scandal with the Lewinsky affair. Clinton is a Democrat. We arrive in the year 2000 with optimism. Bush is elected, and suddenly the wrangling begins again. Anyone remember the hanging chad ballots in Florida? That's right; the Democrats were accusing the Republicans of vote fraud. After that election was finally awarded to Dubya, things went smoothly for a while. Then 9/11. Bush handled this catastrophe with ease, mainly ignoring the naysayers and the conspiracy theorists (remember Bush holding to his classroom agenda). There are lots of other tidbits that passed from 2001-2004 Commentary that really arent worth mentioning. More wrangling among the parties. Jump ahead to 2004 and you have another contested presidential election. This time it was Bush Jr. vs. Kerry. You guessed it, more debate among the parties over who won. one. All of the drama among the two dominate parties is but one reason why the system needs to be reformed. America needs less arguing and more lawmaking to advance as the dominant global power in the 21* century. Indecision leads to downfall; just look at past empires (superpowers). History has a tendency to repeat itself. Americans love having a choice, not a 2-question multiple choice quiz. In America, you can go out to eat, hit up a Subway and have 300 options on the menu. You can customize your personal cell phone in 50 plus ways. Even when buying a new car, you have hundreds of different styles and colors to pick from. Heck, as college students, look at all the different classes we can take! So why, when it comes down to electing a president, do we only have two parties to choose from? Choices, choices, choices. The United States needs to reform the party system, the Senate and the House of Representatives to reflect that middle ground so many citizens are yearning for. Not a Conservative or a Liberal? Why not just choose the new 3" party, the party that will embrace that middle ground? Undecided about important issues in the headlines today? Shouldn't you be able to join a party that chooses what you think may be best? Personally, | do not foresee the formation of a viable, contending 3 government party anytime in the near future. | do know the party could not fall under any of these names: Democratic, Republican, Reform, Socialist, Worker's, or any of the other tiny, insignificant parties that exist today. The party | dream of would have to be new and embrace the values and culture of todays youthtomorrows leaders. This party could grow into something everyone could be a part of, a party everyone could feel that they could make a contribution to. Does this sound like communism? No, it just sounds very much unlike the current system we have in place today. Why do we never hear of problems with a 3 party? Because there isnt 7
