I don't care if Barak Obama in a peanut, he gets my vote. Period.

Personally I blame the voters who voted for the idiots. You just
confirmed
that theory.

Voting is an exercise in choice of lesser evil. Usually, its the voter's
pocketbook that takes precedence in that choice. Another alternative not
mentioned is Ron Paul.
If I thought Ron Paul had any chance of winning he would be my first
choice. I don't vote my pocket book, I don't have to. I vote to the
pocketbooks of others who will burn down if McCaine is elected with
that complete ninkompoop Palin. Russians fly in her air space. I
thought I heard everything.

Sad, but true. We may vote for another candidate that has a decent chance
to win, defeating the one that seems the least in our favor. Vice voting
for a candidate that is best qualified for our own personal reasons and is
much less likely to win. That's really, really sad for many reasons.
Going
back to what I said, an exercise in choice between lesser evils.


Couple of statements I noted:

Jesse Ventura said voting for the lessor of evils, you're still voting
for evil.

Rush Limbaugh said that if your team did not make it to the Super Bowl,
then you root for the team you want to win.

I prefer the latter. Bob Barr, Ron Paul and Ralph Nader are not in the
game.


The Republicrats are going to win because they represent the owners of
the country. My recommendation is to vote third party (any party) and
support any initiative that calls for proportional representation.

I hope I'm wrong but the country seems to be sliding into neo-liberal
economics. The type that visited Chile, under Pinochet, and Argentina
i.e. privatization of the public sector, massive cuts in social
programs, and force to suppress dissent.

eep those gardens going. It may be that we really will NEED them.
