do we live in a democracy so we can just keep electing the same families?
Barack is the first candidate in my lifetime to strip some of this bullshit away, and I just hope we don't blow this chance.
man if we miss this opportunity we don't deserve it...how bad does it have to get?

fuck!!!!!!!!!

Well, at least he realizes another Clinton would be terrible.

Actually, the most bullsh*t-free Democratic candidate is Kucinich, but of course this country is too stupid to listen to him instead of the big names. Obama's pretty good too though.

Kucinich would be alright if he weren't like the troll under the bridge. He'd be great if it were ten years from now. This is coming from an Ohio Democrat. I love the guy to death, but he's far too progressive. Very much like Ron Paul, a good amount of great ideals, but not enough "Like-ability" factor. American elections are far too polarizing. Until the electoral college is abandoned we are going to be met with this lackluster effort. It's already been picked who the President will be, it's just a matter of making the citizens agree. And ultimately, they will. Like sheep to the slaughter.

If I was in a band, I would make a statement pledging my support for Romney.

And it would be equally as useless.

Ron Paul is where it's at. As for democrats, it's all about Dennis Kucinich and Mike Gravel. Obama's more of a media darling.

Obama hasn't made a single conviction. Id like him more if he wasn't playing it so safe.

Ron Paul is a nut, look deeper into his policies and you'll see. Obama's electable, so he's got my support.This Message Edited On 01.17.08
