PEOPLE!! THIS ISN'T THE TIME TO DECIDE IF YOU'RE A DEMOCRAT, REPUBLICAN OR INDEPENDANT SUPPORTER It's time to decide to be a good and well informed American. If you spend your time counting on one candidate and don't know what the other candidates stand for, you are missing a key element of your right to vote. "Voting for who will win" also defeats the purpose because this is NOT a cock-fight, it's YOUR COUNTRY'S FUTURE. It is crucial, now more than ever, that you take a look at them all. Peace

Funny how the ... ( 6 months ago by jsclark)

Funny how the bloggers have gained cred with the corporate media (by outing them, largely) and are going to police the campaign--but the same open-access process with YouTube and Facebook may result in spoofers and saboteurs that are hard to detect. But, uh -- won't the bloggers police that? Thank goodness the corporate media are doing their jobs. Can I vote with my wallet here?

I too am Canadian, for some reason or another there isn't a more exciting time in the United States to vote. I'll agree with Tillo2008 this isn't about being Democrat or Republican! Vote fairly on the candidate which represents your views. After all Americans and Canadians have been given a true gift.. A gift to voice our freedom by voting our minds. Sincerely, without swaying anyone's vote I hope Obama wins. I believe he has the potential of being the next president of the people.

katskan you have to ... ( 6 months ago by teamitaly11)

katskan you have to realize that it deff. matters what political party you vote for. The democrats, with their pork-barreling ways and such, are always tryinbg to screw the middle class over. They want the government to tax everything, which we have to pay for. We will get fucked over if we get a democrat into the white house. And there are so many things that those unethical nazis are trying to do that will screw us over. Vote John Mccain.

Utter nonsense. Do ... ( 6 months ago by Godheval)

Utter nonsense. Do you just throw buzz words around without even knowing their meaning, like "pork-barreling"? Congressman of both parties apply for funding for special projects - it's what the projects are that matter, not that they're requesting the money. Now which hurts the economy more - the ending of a tax cut for the upper 1% income earners, or sustaining a war has cost to date around a half of a TRILLION dollars.

Oh, but before you ... ( 6 months ago by Godheval)

Oh, but before you throw the "national security" argument at me like a good republican puppet, consider the fact that the Iraq War has only increased the recruiting base for terrorists. Shi'a militants didn't give a rat's ass about America before 2003. But now? Yeah. Congratulations on your ignorance.

And what better way ... ( 6 months ago by Godheval)

And what better way to improve the middle class, then to ship their jobs overseas to Indians or Chinese who will do the same work for a fraction of the wages? Oh, but as long as they use buzz words like "global economy", and talk about how America needs to stay current within it, you rubes are on board. Nevermind that the dollar has plummeted to its lowest value in many years, and that our entire economy is contingent upon foreign support. Give me a break with your nonsense. Take a class.

Do you know WHY ... ( 6 months ago by Godheval)

Do you know WHY academics tend to vote liberal while the working class vote republican? Because they've gotten an EDUCATION on the issues, and realize the folly of the conservative agenda. Is it a coincidence, then, that that same agenda often stiff-arms funding FOR education? Keep the stupid stupid, and they're easier to manipulate. Case in point: YOU.

Shrillary, here's your chance to be the opportunistic political garbage bag you are and win the White House!
You still have a chance to turn America into a 3rd world socialist banana republic!

This is the worst ... ( 5 months ago by bassman5123)

This is the worst presidential field, ever! We have Billary, McAmnesty, and Curious George. They are all crooks and I recommend leaving your ballot's "president" space blank. If enough of this do this, they might be forced to come up with better quality candidates in the future. It really doesn't matter who we elect because they are all just different masks on the same face. After all, the president is really just a figure-head and the shadow government runs it all!

what the fuck happened to ron paul? Listen, if the case is that we still have the power to elect our presidents (and that its not fixed), then I just can't fucking believe how no one did their homework and realised that ron paul was the best one to get us the fuck out of this mess.

Eliminate ... ( 5 months ago by icantfindanamethis)

Eliminate manufacturing jobs that sustain the lower end of society Make higher education unaffordable so lower classes never advance Tie credit histories to job qualifications so that they can't increase income Modify judicial system so that lower classes are flagged "felon" Young in poor towns, having no alternatives, signup & die or get legs blown off for profit, hoping to live to cash in on tuition promises When Corporate henchmen are criticized for killing, they can say "They volunteered"

Berek Obama is ... ( 4 months ago by yahoovisitor)

Berek Obama is getting all the support for committing all his energy against Islam and Muslims and in favor of Jew Community. If he turns vice versa, I'm sure he'll succeed in getting more votes. Jews are wealthier of course but have been declared as people who will enter Hell on the day of Judgement. Berek Obama is going after the wealth and not the piety which is the greatest force. Islam is spreading at double the speed just because of this principle of piety not the wealth.

that's because normally here in the u.s.a they dont want the candidates that are too smart, they don't want to feel intimidated.
they want someone they can associate with, like dumb and dumber.

this is all bullshit, this is all contrived. they should just use the popular vote,the majority wins and thats it, but that would take out all the fun out of this circus, wewant to make it entertaining...we don't want the american public who has been conditioned to the tabloids to get stressed out.

If people followed the Constitution, there wouldn't be this political division that we see today. The blogging world is extremely partisan in their views, I'm guessing since it's anonymous they're brave enough to really spout off.
There needs to be a compromise.

The day USA has taken its feet out of its territory to sabotage the peace process across the globe, a hatred resulting in the devaluation of US currency further weakening its economy has started. Presently USA is the worlds poorest country regarding the load of loans it has to bear, going up with daily $ devaluation. How can USA get out of this crisis? Its only possible when the newly elected government doesnt move on policies taking USA to further economic crisis leading to its destruction.
