Rant #2 Presidential Race
I see nothing good in our current presidential race. I will be voting for the Democratic party, but the only real reason I am voting that way is because I currently support the Republican part less.
I listen to Barack Obama and all I hear is rhetoric. I have not heard any solid answers on any of the questions or policies posed to him. I get the feeling he is a politician in the truest sense of the word. It feels like a popularity contest. I want to hear a solid answers. I want to hear what he is going to do about the war in Iraq. I want to hear what his plan is for diplomatic relations with Russia. I want to hear what his plan is for the military. I want an answer not more carefully planned out speaches that run in circles without changing the subject. I want someone to ask him hard questions, then say “bullshit” when he spins the answer in a different direction.
I listen to John McCain and all I can see in our future is war. I do get the impression that he is a decent leader, but I flattly do not support his ideals. It is my belief if he is elected we will wind up at war with more countries than we already are. Nothing good can come of that. And the fact that his new running mate flat out lied, as well as specifically saying she would support a war with Russia over what is happening in Georgia (the country), really makes my blood boil. This point on war is a deal breaker for me. Period.
Why can’t we get a real person in there who has their priorities straight? This has become a battle of the ruling class at its worst.

I have to disagree that OB is potentially less worse than JM.
The tactics being used to win this election for OB are enough to turn me away entirely. Looking into OB’s actual voting record is disturbing enough.
Acorn voter registration is being used to fix the election for OB.
Likewise, all hands are sullied by the banking crisis, not just Republican ones. And as far as I can tell, OB, Barney Frank, Dodd, and Acorn are deep into the Fannie/Freddie side of the financial crisis.

Hi Ian, how goes things down the road?
I’ll agree to disagree on who is less worse.
But like I mentioned, I don’t like either one. They all lie, they all spin the answers to questions.
I feel that our government is no longer the representative government the original founders intended, and is now more akin to a ruling class.
