Politics time! (US)

Here's an oxymoron for ya:

Honest Politician

ALRIGHT. To those who say they are all the same and it doesn't matter who wins- you obviously must not have been conscious during the last EIGHT YEARS. If you want the U.S. to be a wartime country for the rest of your life, go ahead and refrain from voting and let McCain take us all down with you.

Personally I believe what Obama is saying (that he really will make substantial changes) due to the fact that he doesn't even take money from lobbyists, and therefore has no obligation to make decisions based on promises he's made for money.

Also, just to throw this out there... I think Ron Paul is insane. I respect anyone's pro-Paul opinions if they actually believe in what he preaches. However, I tend to think most Ron Paul supporters are basing their opinions solely on the masses of underground hype going on about this guy. Here is why I refuse to believe a person educated on his policies would think he would make a fab president... He wants to eliminate the use of paper money in exchange for the use of GOLD as currency, income tax, immigration, aid to Darfur, and collaboration with the UN. What about this doesn't scream "I'M A WACK JOB"?

Please don't believe that Obama or HIlary will just pull out our troops. It's just not true.
None of them will.
We all have a LOT of attention we need to pay. To that I agree with you. If you don't research your views, then you don't really have any.
I feel that is essential for our survival to retain our constitutional rights.Unfortunately , right now all politicians do is ammend them. We have less rights every day. I'm afraid for my future children.
