Both parties currently have unqualified people running for president...
And most of you will vote for one of them.
(Because you think there are no other options.... And maybe there aren't at this point... How sad. )

THEN... You'll have the nerve to complain later as things get worse.

There were better choices before y'all let the media pick your candidates for you.

We will get what we deserve...
(Collectively....)

(Putting my soapbox away now... )

I'm not voting for either of the "chosen" candidates. And most certainly not John McCain, even though I am conservative (he's NOT conservative).

I'll vote for none of the above thank you.

Thanks for the link Jessaka. Bookmarked!

I'll use a "write in" like say Ron Paul.

I definitely will not vote for either of the three stooges.

I don't recall EVER voting for.......it is always against. You won't ever get the good ones....they are making money and taking care of their families. The ones that run are mostly the bad ones or self important ones or the crooks like Stipe. So it is important to replace them every chance you get......like diapers, and for the same reason......

A talk radio station in New Jersey started a movement a few years ago, called G.R.I.P. It stood for Get Rid of Incumbent Politicians. The idea was to vote out everyone on the ballot who was an incumbent. It didn't go very far, though.

After seeing a few elections (like state auditor) and how people vote so foolishly for these crooks just because they have more ads on TV, I do think we deserve what we get.

Not only should we vote them out, most of them need some jail time.

I wonder if building that better and bigger chamber of cheap labor, I mean chamber of commerce is linked to the NAFTA SuperDuper cheap labor and cheap foreign goods highway?

[mkfarnam]

Is Mexico or Canada paying for any part of the construction?

States will elect to secede from the union and reject the government. Now 10 years later, it's certainly beginning to look like his theory is coming together. Funny how history repeats itself over and over again.

I hereby announce my enlistment into the Okie Citizenry Militia to defend Oklahoma from any tyrannical government, foreign threats, and domestic threats that might materialize in the future.

If federal officials ever formally endorse the NAU, it will be time to secede. Not just the former Confederacy, but all 50 states. All the states could secede from the current Union, readopt the Constitution, and join together again in a Second Constitutional Republic.

The new federal capitol could be built in Kansas (contains the geographic center of the lower 48) or in South Dakota (contains the geographic center of all 50 states).

Since the original 13 states created our current republic, they have the right to close it down and form a new one, along with the other states that have joined them since then. A creator is greater than the object it creates, not the other way around.

It would be an opportunity to begin again, to start over with a clean slate. We could recreate America as it once was, and could be once again.

I did vote for someone once - don't remember who it was, any more, though. I think it was in '68. Since then, it's been against, or what seems to be the lesser of whatever evils are current at the time.
