Actually voting is just a farce. The candidate has already been chosen by “them”. I will vote for Ron Paul just for drill.

November 22, 2007 at 9:00 AM #102777partypupParticipantI’m just happy that people on this board have stopping yapping about Obama and his “feel good” platform that will do virtually nothing to address what truly ails this country. Aside from Paul (and MAYBE Edwards), there’s no horse in this race that will make one whit of difference in our lives come January 2009. At its core, American politics today is essentially an argument over two flavors of vanilla, regardless of whether the candidate is a white man, a white woman or a black man. By the time any candidate has amassed enough money to appear on the national stage, they have been bought, sold and locked to the Establishment. Deluded Americans are being given the illusion of choice in order to anesthetize them to the real pain around them, much as we root for our favorite team in professional sports. It’s a distraction of enoromous proportions. Unless Paul or Edwards is on the ticket in Nov 2008, I’m not wasting my time voting. It will strictly be a calorie-burning exercise.

November 22, 2007 at 9:34 AM #10279234f3f3fParticipantI had never heard of this guy, but then he doesn’t know who the Swiss President is. I’m new to American politics and my first impressions from the YouTube clip is that he comes across as a nice principled guy. He seems trustworthy and a lot of what he say about government vis-a-vis commerce, war and diplomacy makes sense. However, I was left wondering how much of his emphasis on social and legal contracts, which seemed to be pivotal to his idealogical thrust, are workable. I was a little unclear how you do away with the IRS and Medicare, and what replaces it. He also seemed to side-step the issue of global warming. Whether you believe it is man made or not, it can’t be ignored. It seems that contracts will govern everything and business will fund everything. What role is left for government?
Allowing guns on planes, which he says could have prevented 9/11 is a very shaky supposition. He appeared equally ambiguous on gay rights as on environmental issues.
Judging the man himself; his demeanor and ethos, I was left wondering whether he has presidential charisma. Arms flap about and he rambles, I found myself drifting off. I just can’t see him strutting the world stage, and being taken very seriously.
Just my outsider’s impressions.
