The Libs are doing a great job wiping out McCain. This forum is about 90% Lib, so I figure I only need to worry about taking out Nobama. I don't care who is elected. They both suck and are not qualified to be President. A street corner organizer and a guy that admits he knows nothing about the economy???? Great freakin' choices.

We ALL lose in the end.

Thank you for finally letting us know what you feel about McCain, also.

My pleasure. I am pretty pissed off today with everyone. The Dems, the current administration, the corporate execs and stupid people that could not manage their own finances properly. Am I the only person that is honest in the freakin' world?

Sorry for the rant, I am just mad and I do not have the illusion that a new President will fix what is wrong. The next President will just be the next player in the "Were gonna ********* over political game". They have us and they know it. All this talk on the forum is a joke and pointless. We don't matter. Never have and never will. They laugh at us. They are playing us. We are the fools.

I don't know, but I have actually been close to tears today....and I am a guy. My vote will mean nothing. Obama is going to win and that is fine, I don't care. It won't change anything. There will be an initial "good feeling" thing going around, but in the long run things will get worse. These guys/gals don't care. It's about getting elected and about power, nothing more. Sometimes people get helped along the way, but usually hurt. Like the mortgage crisis. It was the "let's help out the poor people" thing that started this ball rolling. Good intent, but a disastrous result. I really can't take any more of this joke of a political system. No matter what, it comes down to people being the problem. No matter what system, people are the issue. Greed, corruption & power. Dems and Republicans.

Don't let McCain's modesty get lost in Obama's line of BS. McCain cosponsored S.190 and Obama fought it tooth, nail and filibuster. That's the real reason we gotta' pony up $700,000,000,000.

The rest of the world has parliamentary systems. I don't think they struggle with accountability like we do. One party has control and their is less opportunity for blame shifting. You either perform or get replaced.

I have a good friend in England and they sure don't seem to have these kinds of problems.
