haha, they do do nothing. I like my bike, and when my car blows up, I am going to buy a freaking GEO metro.

how about getting back to the original question. name a question you would like to ask either candidate, and not a stupid tabloid question.

I have asked like 20!

here is one. what is the best solution for illegal immigration? no one wants to deport them, yet no one wants to hold businesses responsible. would the fair tax be a good way of getting people to pay their "fare share?"

Question - Senator Obama, what exactly is your plan to "change" this country?

Answer from Obama - It's time for change!


That's pretty much all it will be from him.

That is actually a good question to ask both candidates. Fact is, not one person has offered a workable solution for that question.

and they won't they are too busy making one side hate the other side, which is why partisan politics are a joke. no one asks the candidates real questions, and to be honest, I am not sure they should. the president doesn't have absolute power. I try to look at my local representatives and see how they vote.

I like the fair tax. Many folks that avoided paying taxes would find that harder to do.

McCain wants to move toward an easier accross the board income tax model. Obama just wants to tax. And tax. And tax.

I think that a revolution is coming. the taxes in our country are unfair. also, we spend too much. society is getting sick of it.
