There is some sad truth in stating both guys are pawns in a bigger game. The even sadder truth is that we have watched this game being played right out in the open with the actions of this current administration. The people feel so powerless, or they ignore and go on with daily hum drum. That's where I see the problem. We can sit on these forums and talk abut what is wrong, and wait around for a revolution. We will be waiting until every complacent American wakes up. To wake up, it seems they must lose their jobs, health care, homes, constitutional rights etc. By then, it will be too late. We will have turned into a third world country utilizing potential slave labor. There may even be debtors prisons. You see, republicans have worked so long to prove that government is failing, by installing the most inadequate people in positions where they are doomed to failure. They can then say, let's privatize!!! Yippie. We'll have Blackwater dealing with civil unrest as they did in New Orleans. Private prisons, police force, fire fighters, roads. Scary stuff if you ask me. Imagine if they would have privatized social security. The gov't is suppose to represent the people. The people are complacent. Of course they will set their own agenda if we don't set it for them. There are way more of us than them.

Say what you will, but at least go to his website and look at the issues, and then go to McCains, or your third party choice.
I think when and if the Americans ever wake up, we will take this country back. Looking forward to it.
