I know the polls are a bunch of bullshit.. but if it does turn out that McCain actually wins this election ~ sorry, to say it but we will deserve EVERY hardship that comes our way as a society. CHANGE, REAL CHANGE is what this country needs right now.. not bullshit, same old policies wrapped up with a bow and being sold as new.. but then again we are hardly getting any word on the actual policies that McCain/Palin stand for.

Bush won two terms because he was a guy people wanted to "have a beer with"..

Now we have Palin pulling this ticket up because women want to have lunch with her.. "she is just so real and I can relate to her"! WAKE THE FUCK UP!

It never stops to amaze me how easily lead the masses in this country are.

Vomit.

    Yeah, but not every crazy guy or girl is reaching for so much power and might become so dangerous.

    It never ceases to amaze me how people think that a president will enact "change" because the color of his skin is different from the presidents before him.

    What honestly will result from an Obama presidency? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Give me one good, thought-out, practical plan he has laid out that will make any kind of difference what so ever in the dismal state of affairs in which this country currently wallows. Didn't think so.

    What exactly is Mccain going to do that will be better?
    Keep on rockin in the free world!!!!

    The economy has polarized to the point where the wealthiest 10% now own 85% of the nation’s wealth. Never before have the bottom 90% been so highly indebted, so dependent on the wealthy.

    Presidents do not make plans - they lead. They have an incredible staff to make the plans. The president rarely needs to even decide between competing options, the research generally leaves a very best option.

    The difference is that we will have a President with a REAL Harvard education and A Real grasp for the issues. A President that will appoint the best and the brightest to positions of authority instead of the same old political hacks. And finally we will have a real President, not a Vice President making the decisions with a rubber stamp pseudo-cowboy being the figurehead.
    Obama has many well thought out, practical plans to get us out of the mess the Republicans have left us, if you take the time to read them. John McCain and the She Moose will just give us 4 more years of Karl Rove, unwinnable wars, and put us trillions of dollars more in the hole.

    Maybe part of the whole "beer" and "lunch" thing is the fact that their opposition only resorts to attacking their character and past and doesn't try to spend any time actually discussing the change they plan to make.
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

    Seriously, you have got to be kidding. No Republican has attacked Obama's past? Really? Miss the Reverend Wright thing? Didn't watch any of the Republican Convention speeches? Shit, I just recently found out that "Community Organizer" is some sort of punchline.

    I mean, really? As for "discussing the change," the Obama campaign has laid out plenty of plans - many of which, I might add, are already being adopted by our government (draw downs in Iraq, more troops to afghanistan, diplomatic relations with Iran, etc.).

    Now, if you're talking about supporters being all "mean and like totally out of line," then I'm sorry, but that goes on on both sides. Seems like to me, though, only one side is doing it from the top down, and it isn't Obama's.

    The sorry truth is, the population is always going to vote in large numbers for the status-quo. That's why it's the status-quo, after all. And let's not forget that the Democrats have only won three presidential elections since the Civil Rights movement. Coincidence? Personally, I don't think so.

    I'm beginning to seriously wonder why these horrible people continue to be elected...there must be something in the process that's messed up...

    Do you think it has something to do with the media's involvement in elections? T.V. as a projector of just the surface of things? These elections are beginning to seem SO out of touch with what they're supposed to be about, there MUST be something wrong with how people are being influenced.

    Perhaps it's become more like an immature popularity contest than the selection of a leader. Perhaps the passivity and thoughtlessness that has become so much a part of our culture is killing us!!!

    Masses of people can be swayed by ridiculous, illogical nonsense! :eek:

    So what would be real change? Voting for Obama?

    Or wholesale political upheaval removing everyone from office and installing new members? Or complete revolution and a new governmental system.

    What exactly is change?

    I could change my home, or I could quit my job, divorce my wife, pack up my car and drive to Mexico. Personally, I'd be happy with a new home.

    Pretty good places to live out on the Yucatan but I'd go Belize first personally (hot and muggy but you know hot and muggy anyway). Mexico's government is more corrupt than ours is even.

    I say keep the wife keep the job, build the new house off the ground 10ft or so and install an aerodynamic roof, straps, storm shutters and caulk the bottom. :D

    I think you guys are a little too upset about polls in September. This is going to be a very close election as they all have been recently but it would still be a pretty large upset at this point for McCain to win the election after 8 years of George Bush. I'm still thinking the turnout will be larger than ever many of them new voters and most of them voting for Obama.

    I'd still like to change out the majority of our politicians and go with 1 year terms though.

    That's funny, because Obama/Biden are doing the exact same thing.
