| I watched a few interviews with Jesse ventura and he suggests they should put "other" on the ballot so that Americans could show their disaproval with the system. I know that would never happen but I like the notion nonthe less. I think this whole election thing is a scam. Both candidates are in the pockets of the elite, changing theirs minds on policies more often than they change their underwear,and you can be guananteed when all is said and done the rich will get richer and the poor will get poorer. Maybe some will argue that anything is better after 8 yrs of Bush but I feel Americans deserve A LOT better than the present choices forced upon the voters. |

uuu, no... America can not afford any more Supreme court appointments
like Thomas, Scalia,Roberts,etc..etc..
We need Justices that vote against The CIA/Corporatocracy/Rich interests.
Vote for ending the War. Vote for the best chance of ending war as soon as possible. |

I totally agree. But until the sysyem as a whole is changed( superdeligates
/electorial collage) ,politics will continue to be a monitarty circle jerk . And that's being optimistic. |

Sounds like a good idea to me.
The whole election process are scams. We don't choose, the Delegates choose who gets the nomination and the electorial college choses the next president. "We The People" have no say in anything. If we did, it would just be by popular vote and everyone would get counted for 1 vote, nothing more. |
