Race sells, everything else is only worth a sen. Just like any where else, race sells. Japan is no different than the States when it comes to labels. The only difference is that this is not the US of A...
So if she wants to call herself,"the last of the Mohicans" and it makes her money/yen then why blame her?
Money is money no matter where you are from.....

Oh ok then that answers everything, our President is the President of the free world then......Ah ok now I have another question.....If our President is the leader of the free world who is his arch-nemesis? In other words who is his Lex Luther?
Just asking to keep us with the far right's idea of how the world runs.
BTW, got one more small question concerning the far right and our President Obama......
Okay, so in the far right's world President Obama is the leader of the free world.....But if he is the leader of the free world why is the far right always trying to attack him?
See that is where I am confused.....When Bush was President of the free world, the far right guys flipped over backwards to give him a free pass whenever he did anything.
But, for some odd reason, the far right keeps slamming the present "Leader of the free world" whenever he says anything, why is that?
Since you have been so kind as to answer the question, why not answer the next for me?
I really hope there isn't a double standard because he is a little far left of Bush for the far right.......
Again, btw thank you ahead of time for your input......

Again I ask, where does it say in the Constitution that the President of the United States is the leader of the free World?
Please could any, and I mean any far right winger please show me where it says this. To date not a one can/or has answered my question.
You far right wingers claim that he is suppose to be, but you have yet to show me where it says this.....
I'm waaaaaaiting!LOL
You guys are a joke....LOL

Fr right wingers have this idea that is anyone does not view economics like they do then they must be a Socialist.
But as usual the far right Christina republicans are dead wrong.
Actually Bill Gates and most other "Rich" gave to the Democrats because they thought that Obama had the better strategy then McCain and the Republicans.
It is all about making more money, and the Republicans have made them poorer. Remember Bill Clinton made them real rich....

I checked the Constitution and it does not claim anything like the ones Sen. Graham is claiming. Odd how the Neo Cons try to flame the fan of war just for political points.LOL
Me thinks that the far right needs to read up on the Constitution....LOL
LOL! Sen McCain must be trying to make points with his party. This is too funny, so the new Republican strategy is to claim that the President is too weak on foreign policy.
Great move by the far right and their lackies...Republicans never learn from their mistakes. They tried to be nation builders, but that blew up in their faces.

**Palestinian: Israelis use settlements as excuse to avoid peace talks **
Word games, I just love them, don't you?
The new Israeli government appears to have lost the word Diplomacy from their lips. Peace will only be won by diplomacy, but no one wants to use it....

Leadership by example is a long dead concept for most politicians today.
The blunt truth is, if he would have had the moral fortitude to be a real man, he would have never cheated on this wife. But with most hypocrites it is ,"do as I say, oh, opps you caught me in another lie."
Ensign was one of those who yelled for Clinton to resign when he was caught with his pants down for the.....Wait I lost count...But he was on his high Christian moral horse when it came to someone else.
But, now that his dark history has been exposed he is doing the far right wing hustle. Funny how the far right is circling their wagons trying to save this cheater.
Protect those who have no morals, then cloak yourself in the flag of Christianity. How hypocritical is that?
I for one know what Bill Clinton is all about. He is an open book that many times have been read. While the far right Christians pretend to be an closed book of virtue that is perfectly kept.
But the fact is they are all the same, just one hides the truth while the other just not care.
If you call it, then walk it.....Ensign must resign, no way around it....
Talk is cheap until it falls on your tongue.

I believe that the Topic is about Senator Ensign having an affair. It has nothing to do with President Obama.
I will ask you the same question,"why are you trying to avoid the topic?"
That is where we differ, as an Independent I expect allot from those that are elected. They (any elected public servant) needs to be above reproach. If they are not, then they should not be public servants.
My advantage is, I am not loyal to any party, my loyalties rest with the Constitution.
Correct he lied to the American people, for that he should of resigned. His character was flawed from the get go, he did not deserve to hold the title of President.

I expect the best for my vote and for my country. I want men and women of character leading it. When people like Ensign and Clinton damage our reputation that really hurts us as a whole.
Leaders lead by example.
Yes, he has yet to show that he has done anything wrong. Unless you know that President Obama has had an affair? Having an affair is a clear sign of someone who lacks character.
Take Bill Clinton, he had some good policies but he lacked character and for that I could not trust him. I voted against him both times.
Yes, in my book Bill Clinton should have done the right thing and stepped down for what he did. I do not like politicians who lie to my face. Showed the his true character when he tried to dance.
But, I must also fault the republicans. Instead of having him resign through other channels they tried to impeach him. The republicans wasted so much of our money to get political points. That made me very angry with the party.
You and other here believe me to be a Democrat, there you are highly mistaken. I am to the left when it comes to certain things and right in others. Hell in some areas I am farther to the right than you...LOL

But in this case there is a difference, he was a leader. He was someone that many looked up to and he should have watched himself. Not because he was a politician, but because he was a leader. It is sad that we as a nation do not hold our leaders to the fire more often.
Give you an example, my Father is a Baptist/Born Again preacher. My Father and Mother travel to prisons and preach the Christian faith to men and women in those prisons. He is also a member of the promise keepers and many other Christian groups. He and my Mother are far right wing Republicans and we disagree on many points. But where we agree is on is people in leadership positions.
(No we never speak politics when we get together...LOL)
He is a leader within his church and knows that. He has never gone against my Mother in all the years they have been married. Nor has he ever broken a single word he has ever given anyone.
He has a saying that I hold dear to my heart. Goes like this ,"It does not matter if a woman jumps on top of you. If you stray it is not her fault, it is your."
Leaders do not show fault, they lead by example. He did one good thing, he resigned. But from what it seems like, someone was about to go public with his affair. If no one ever would have forced him to come clean he would have stayed quiet.
That is not a leader........

It appears that someone was about to expose his affair if he did not beat them to the punch.
I suspect it was either his ex-mistress or come news paper.....I love it when these type of stories hit the papers...LOL
Classic dancing there teleprompter....Trying to make the story about ole Harry rather than Ensign, nice.....LOL

That is where many people are mistaken, like many you are judging Ensign for what he did. But in fact by his actions he has brought unwanted light to the Republicans.
He has totted the party line for years and and became one of it's leaders. He is not just a man who was having an affair. He was one of the leaders of the party who had an affair.
He was suppose to be an example of what a Republican was suppose to be. But what he has shown is that the Republican leadership is tainted.
The party was in disarray before this new black eye hit the leadership.
The Republicans did not need this extra wound.
After so many years of calling the Democrats morally empty, this shows that their leadership is the one empty...
He was one of the leaders of that party...

Now we do a little background into our dear friend, the righteous Senator Ensign...
He was chairman of the Republican Policy Committee, the fourth-ranking spot in the leadership.
Good to see that the Republicans have such honorable men leading them.
Let us see how he use to feel about extramarital affairs and politicians who have them....
(wiki) In 1998, after President Bill Clinton admitted to having committed adultery with Monica Lewinsky, Ensign called on him to resign, saying, "He has no credibility left."
What a good christian, do as I say not as I do.....Love those types...LOL
Ensign said: Marriage is the cornerstone on which our society was founded. For those who say that the Constitution is so sacred that we cannot or should not adopt the Federal Marriage Amendment, I would simply point out that marriage, and the sanctity of that institution, predates the American Constitution and the founding of our nation.
Hm he really is a believer in the sanctity of marriage....What a good christian!!!! LOL
Tell you, this guy was one of the stars of the far right wing. He was suppose to be that shining example of what being republican means.
Well he is an example alright, he showed us what the far right Christian Republicans are all about. Nothing but talk......

Faux News, breaking story, live from the office of the Right Honorable Walter P. Farright.
Dear fellow far right wingers, our dear brother Ensign is being accused by the liberal media that he was involved in an extra marital affair. But as you all know, far right wing Republicans can never do anything like that.
I say to you that this can not be! No, this can not be at all. These accusations are all lies, lies I tell you!
No far right wing Christian Republican would ever do anything wrong! NO, no, I tell you this this a plot, a plot I tell you, the far left extremest trying to...Pardon me folks my aide is telling me something. this better be good Billy!.....
(whisper,whisper) what what do you say, he admitted to it? What an idiot, didn't he go to the Karl Rove seminar on how to lie and get away with it? (whisper, whisper) Ah, what?, and he did what to her with that? (whisper, whisper)...
Now as I was saying, I think that we should give time for our dear friend, the good Senator Ensign and his wife to find peace in what happened. We need to leave them be because this is a private matter.
Things like this happens to all good far right wingers and when we do it, it just is not our fault. We should never be blamed for any wrong doing. Why you may ask, well it is because god loves far right wing republicans and hates everyone else!
Thank you for your time and do not forget, this was most likely a deep plot by the far left to bring another good far right winger down!!
This could only be better if there was a small person in a threesome with him....LOL
