Neither. Ones a fascist, ones a socialist.

I think the two party system is destroyed. I wish people would make up their own ideas and do their own research instead of only talking about what the media talks about. Wake up people. If either of these guys would make a difference or bring change from the status quo, what the hell makes you think the corporate owned media would even mention their name on the air?

Did you ever hear of third party? Why must we always settle for the two bozos the media tells us are the candidates. This country is going down fast thanks to the ignorance and apathy of majority of the nation.

@wrestlemaniac, what’s your point?

Do your research…these are our choices.

Well, i heard that because of that many people don’t trust Obama, not that any politician can be trusted, but many people judge by first looking at the bad side of things and rarely the good, for instance many people in my school first see the cons of McCain, “oh he was a P.O.W and he will start more wars for revenge”, or “If Obama becomes pres the u.s will be run by the hood, you know, we’ll have gunfights, drugs and corruption on the streets”. I mean so, it’s not like the pres has absolute power he can’t do anything he wants. that’s my point!

@wrestlemaniac, I mean, what’s the point of bringing up his middle name? Seems as if you’re baiting people, or leading the answer. Take your choice.

@wrestlemaniac, I’m asking what your motivation of saying, “Hey! Did you know Obama’s middle name is Hussain!!?” That’s three exclamation points in two very short sentences. Seems to me you’re trolling for something. Prove me wrong if you’d like.

Okay I’ll try to prove you wrong, America is about being free, living your dreams. the U.S is suppose to democracy or what-cha-ma-call-it, we are not suppose to…ah forget it it’s diffucult to explain, i’ll tell you when i manage to break it down for easier explaination. but until then no one is right no one is wrong, okay.

Isn’t Obama related to Cheney also?

America is a Republic not a democracy.

amarica isnt a full democracy if it were we wouldnt have a president we have more of a repersentitive democracy

I wouldnt argue with you about that wrestlemaniac.

I should say, America is supposed to be a republic. I might even say it HAS become a democracy. The founders say democracy is a tyranny of the majority. I think that might be a good description for these times. The corporations are the majority. And boy are they a tyranny.
