most people have better morals than the average politician the only way to get any where is to lie. on both sides doesnt matter you have to tell everyone what they want to hear to get there vote even though you never are going to follow through

I think if McCain hadn't repainted himself as the new Bush, he'd be the shoo-in. I used to have a lot of respect for McCain. I'm kinda' pissed that he took that away from me.

There's a chance the election will again be a close contest. There's no doubt in my mind that if the Dems had used the half a brain that the party leaders insist on repressing, all they had to do is run any white male acknowledged Christian from the mid-west or south, and the White House would be theirs. Instead, they are so stupidly friggin' confident that all of America's voters hate Bush (conveniently ignoring how stupid most Americans are) as much as they do, that they can run a woman and a black that most people, including lifelong Dems, don't care all that much for, and still pull off a win. It makes me think the Dem national leaders are stupid as a box of rocks, and would deserve to lose soundly, except for the Rep administration, and as it would be under the Bush-painted-McCain, being evil incarnate. Almost makes me long for a Rep like Gerald Ford; at least he did no evil that I recall.

Oh yes he did - he gave Chevy Chase material for "acting" on Saturday Night Live. Outside of "Fletch", he was pretty crappy....


I agree that all the candidates suck, that to be a successful politician you would have to lie and/or compromise your own ethics (if you had any to start with), so how do we get better choices intead of lesser evils?
