I don't know who I'm voting for!

Fuck Policies. Vote McCain, he looks as if he's dead.

Didn't Obama once have a cameo appearance in an episode of Columbo?

First off, Kenny that was a great post. Secondly, I am tired of having to vote for the lesser of two evils. I have lost complete faith in our government. I have reach the point where I could give a shit what happens to our country, economy, etc... Our government as a whole continues to fail us and we as a people continue to allow them to do so. It seems to me that it will take a complete collapse of this country in order to cause people to finally take back the reigns of this country. I personally will not vote for either McCain, Obama or Clinton. I have even entertained the thought of not even voting because in all honesty it doesn't matter. The people running for President, or where running, who could really change the course in which this country is heading will never get elected. No matter how hard we fight for the Gravels, Pauls and Kucinichs of this world they will never win. I have come to believe this is because the majority of Americans might want change but they are unwilling to have to work to make that change a reality. They would rather sit back and let our government do all the work even though they know that the likely hood of that happening is zero to none. So let American vote in another useless politician who will put our needs behind those of special interest groups and corporations. Let Americans vote for the candidate who the media talking heads tell them to vote for. I simply don't care anymore. Someone on this message board once said the Americans get the President we deserve and in all honesty we deserve the worst of the lot.

Abook haven't had much free time to pop in here. With moving, going back to school and starting a new job free time is a luxury I no longer have.

Frustration is an understatement. Where I was once frustrated and disillusioned with the competency of our government I have no lost all hope. Why should I support a system that is corrupt and broken. Why should I continue to play along as if what I say makes a difference. Our economy is fucked, our government is fucked and our society is fucked. We as a country are more comfortable and accepting of our government, plunging us deeper into a hole, in order to bail out corporations than we are with our government helping out the less fortunate. The whole think is fucked and no one cares. Our government continues to mortgage away my kids and their kids future in order to maintain a white knuckled grip on hegemony. In all honesty if wasn't for the fact that my kids live in this country I would pack up my shit and go else where. Unfortunetely I am tied down here and forced to watch as my fellow countrymen, once again, elect the same shitty worthless politicians who will continue to destroy everything that was once great about this country all in the name of some distorted sense of patriotism that is truly nationalism. My sense humanity is more important to me that any chunk of land or flag.
