You almost never have two GREAT candidates. And given the fact that people legitimately disgree over policy, you are never going to get everyone to AGREE that a candidate is great. But I'm not that disappointed in these choices. Maybe it's just that I have been conditioned to such low expectation by Bush, but I think either one will be an improvement, and neither one will be a disaster. I don't think either one of them is a bought-and-paid-for puppet like I consider Bush to be.

American politics is a pendulm that swings in favor of one group's interests for a time and then swings back. When Clinton's term was over, it was time to swing a bit more conservatively, and I wish it had been McCain who had beat Bush in the primaries in 2000. He would have been a responsible Republican president during the conservative period. But now I think it is time to swing back to a more liberal politics, and McCain's time was lost to Bush. I'm sure Obama will win, and it will represent a good change for a time. Other voices will be heard for awhile. McCain would have been a fine preisdent, but he lost his shot 8 years ago.

The real problem at hand here is that the republicans are too conservative and the democrats are too liberal.

What ever happened to being moderate? Meaning not fixing what isn't broken but being intelligent enough to see when something needs to change.. or be intelligent enough to cut your losses short when you see something not working.

Two party systems suck!

I put a sticky on your poll for ya.....it'll be lifted either at your request or if 30 days have past with no response.

By the way, great thead!:thumbsup: Should generate some good debate.....:D

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

We had our chance in 2000, with Al Gore, Jr...son of the grey fox...we're fucked now....but, I enjoyed it, while it lasted....:thumbsup:

Obama represents a change for the worse.

I am absolutely terrified of the fact that he may be elected. With the socialised medicine (I fucking refuse to wait 3 weeks for an appointment. It hasn't worked anywhere else why would it work here? Healthcare is a quarter of our economy! The government can't even fix the roads but they want to control this shit.), huge taxes, redistribution of wealth, and a million other socialist crap.

I wasn't alive during Jimmy Carter (Thankfully)

But I do know thats he's the worst president ever. Gas lotteries anyone?

Change for the better. Bring on the progression, you've all seen how prosperous America has become under the George Bush republican regime, it can't get any worse, well maybe if McCain got elected and follows in his footsteps.
