Independent Presidential Candidate Scott Keller may be a worthy pick for a guest on Piers' show. Fresh and sensible and workable solutions to all issues including debt, economy, & jobs. http://www.keller2012.com is the url for his campaign site.
How can you be interviewing an obviously biased person like Rudy Giuliani asking him about Obama? Of course he's going to say everything negative about him! Let's talk about how much worse things would be (thanks to George Bush) without him!!
Hello
How are you?
We love show
What people don't understand obviously is that Obama & Bush both cater/catered to the same group of people. There's not a single thing that either of them have done or said that remotely relates to the roots of the nation's or the world's problems. Not even close. I wonder if they even know what the roots of the problems are. I do and I'd be happy to share them with the world. It's nothing crazy. It's really quite fundamental and it's amazing to me how something so simple escapes their awareness.
