Who do you choose: Bush 3 or Marx 2? It's a shame our country has come down to this.
I believe the election is already planned anyways. With that said, I think the people in charge have chosen Obama to be the next prez.
I don't know. Now I feel depressed. |
That's very well-stated and I feel 100% the exact same way.
I'd like to write in Ron Paul, but I might vote for the Boston Tea Party candidate just to make sure my protest vote gets counted.
To answer the OP's question: Obama in a landslide. |

You think Italian or south Asian politics are corrupt?
America is probably the most corrupted of them all.
Obama might get more votes! But if the powers that be want the GOP to hold office again! Mccain is going to win... |
Yeh corruption is rife in American politics. Worse than Thailand and Italy etc  |

Politics is politics...It is corrupt everywhere.
I think everyone is sick of discussing it. I came here to get away from this election. I voted for McCain. I'm not going to bother explaining why, because as soon as I do, a good chunk of this site will jump up and I rarely check this.
And yeah, Obama's probably going to win unless something drastic happens. |

Well, dead people can't show up to vote so...
Who knew Molly was a closet Republican? To be so young and so bitter...  |

I said in the post I am an Indep. Where did I profess my undying love for McCain and when did I say he is the answer to our problems? Not once.
You don't find anything wrong with a voter registry group commiting voter fraud, especially when that group expresses staunch support for Obama? They are the ones giving themselves the bad name, not me. By the way, the ACORN problem is a fact, not an opinion. Do research. |

Unlike 2000 and 2004, this time it's good guy vs good guy. McCain is superior to Obama in energy policy - dear to me and hugely important - but inferior in every other respect. Obama is very far from the finished article however and passionate supporters should get their heads out of the clouds and wire their heads and their asses together.
I want perfection. |

Posts like this explain a lot about American politics. |
What exactly does it explain? |
When you have a person who is university educated, but who believes the election is "already planned anyways", calls McCain Bush 3 (he's not), Obama Marx 2 (what?!), and who claims to be an independent, but can't spell the word, it goes a long way towards explaining what a mess US politics is.
MollyBloom, sorry for insulting you in this post, you seem like a nice person on this forum, but what you wrote annoyed me, hence the response. |

Yes, he will apparently win. I believe it is more or less a done deal at this point. But your "quite easily" and Kuros's "landslide" seem way too casual and simply wrong. It remains and will continue to remain close, at least closer than "quite easily" and "landslide" seem to convey.

Depressed about the election? Yes.
Both candidates lousy? Yes.
Candidates = Bush/Marx? No.
McCain is much more Liberal than Bush. Obama is a socialist, but not a marxist.
Voting for Ron Paul? Probably.
Looking for a mass "protest vote"? Definitely. Hope it happens. |

I think the confusion is because you seem to have bought into the misinformation about Obama....you're Marxist association, etc. It is one of those catch words that people who have no clue whatsoever about politics but heard some term that sounds bad to them, and suddenly attaches to a candiate without any real credible association to it.
If you really DO think Obama is MARX II...maybe you could somehow write a paper about it, and send it to the GOP so they could use the misinformation to spread, as it doesn't seem to exist anywhere else in any serious actual discussion with Obama's policy, politics, or the people he seems to be attracting to build his administration if he wins. |

Sometimes I have a problem spelling "Independent." Sorry. I often want to replace the "e" with an "a." I don't know why. |
