lookout, thats cuz the plan gets bogged down in the bureaucracy that is our gov't. Thats the problem with all of them. It doesn't really matter what they say, nothing will really get accomplished. Its all just moot rhetoric anymore.


Short of taking everyone in gov't, lining them up, numbering them all from 1 to 4 and laying off all the even numbered ones, nothing will change. None of the politicians seem to actually WORK for their money. They say and do whatever they need to in order to get elected and have the attitude that once they are elected they made it. I think all they have made is the chance to actually start working.

That pretty much sums up my feelings as well. In this day and age none of them are to be trusted. We have been repeatedly lied to by every single president for the last 100 years. The canidates will tell you anything to get you to vote for them. Hitlery Cliton is the worst of the bunch IMHO. Obama seems like a straight shooter but I have not seen anything of substance as to how he is going to accomplish all these things he is promising everyone. Wealth redistribution is not part of the equation for me, so figure out how you are going to make it happen and then tell me your plan.

Plans shmams, when they are elected that's it. It does not matter who you vote for; the Government always gets in. Who could fail against the present incumbents?

Yeah, as of now I am thinking I will vote for the person who will be the best for America symbolically since all of them will fuck us over one way or another. Out of the realistic candidates, I think Obama has that title for more than one reason.

Since, IMHO, the major problem is that candidates are "bought", maybe some wealth redistribution would be good. If the middle class had more wealth, we could buy candidates who would then do things that would benefit us. As it is, the wealthy folks buy the candidates who then do things that benefit them.
