Who Would You Like To See Win In 2008

[Thorne]

Every election we have had minus the Supreme Court ruling in 2000, has been decide by the American People, in 2000 The Court 'Gave" the Presidency To Bush, but aside from that, The American People be we right or wrong have always expressed our wants in elections, true we do not always make the right decsions, but at least we have the right to try
we do not have a prefect sytem, but our does at least work

Not knocking the system, just the choices.

If your system is even faintly like ours, you aren't voting for what you want, but choosing between what's on offer. The least of available evils, perhaps.

Over here it's a choice between Tweedle-dumb and Tweedle-dumber.

TYWD

This is more in line with my own thoughts. Except over here they aren't necessarily "dumb." It's "Damned if you do, damned if you don't." More a case of a strange Robin Hood: Take from the middle class and give to someone else. The right seems to take from us and line their own pockets, while trying to take away as many freedoms as they can. The left seems to take from us and, after taking an appropriate "finders fee," give the rest to those unable or unwilling to actually work for a living. Either way, the middle class loses.

This is very apt description of the way things are. a vote for either side is basically the vote for mere facial changes.
You get the same.. screwed.

My only point is that for those not in the UnitedStates, we the American People always decide who will serve in what office, so when other say, "Letthe people decide" all I can say is be they all right or all wrong, every election we haveever had, the American people have spoken
They may in the long run make the wrong choice it is OUT choice not our Govcernemnts choice, so as it goes, if people in the UnitedStates want change, we have the chancve this coming November of 2008, when WE THE PEOPLE will decide who WE want to run our country, if you decide not to vote, not to excersie your Constitutional Right and Moral Obligation as an American Citizen do not complain about who won since you did not express any intrest one way or the other
But at least it can be said in Novembmer 2008, the American People did speak up, just like we did in November of 2006 when we changed the ballance of power in Congress, granite alot of what the Democrats promised in 2006 has NOT been done, but also rmember that altho they control both Houses of Conmgress, the Democrats still do NOT have enough votes to over ride Vetoes, they only hold a 1 vote majorit, so the Dems did NOT break their promise to make changes, they simply do not have enough votes to over ride Presdential vetoes due to their slim majotiy of only 1 vote in the House and it takes BOTH houser to over ride vetos
You might get 50mpg in your car, but if your local station has no gas your mileage ability of your car is pointless
