WRONG! We will have two choices for president that can actually be
elected to the post. All the others are not know and are feared
because they are not known. All the others will be totally drowned
out by the media. All the issues will be selected by the two parties
and any issue not selected by the two parties will simply remain
undiscussed and there will be no disagreement on real issues because
that is how party politics works. The very powerful have selected
these two because they present the least threat and may have shown
that they can actually enhance the power of those already in
control. We will be asked to select the least offensive of the two.

We do not have much of a choice in our vote. We get the lesser of
evils. But if Satan was running against George Bush I'd probably
have to vote for Satan.

Yup. But then they must also have someone to vote for that can
win.

And I want them to be able to act on it. The place that SHOULD matter
is the House of Representatives. The (P)resident in this country
is supposed to damn well do what the Congress tells him.
