		<description>He does suck. Both of them do. Barack Obama keeps moving more and more to the center (pandering for hicks) and John McCain is Bush 2. What a choice. Thanks American voting public, you couldn't even give Ron Paul a chance.</description>

		<description>I noticed a few things the other day too. Like when he explained that he was very devoted to assuring equal pay. He kept saying the "equal pay" catchphrase and leaving off the "for women" part, as if saying something feminist would loose him more voters than gain him Hillary cast-offs.</description>

		<description>Oh for crying out loud, he's a POLITICIAN!  How can you tell when a politician is lying?  His lips are moving.

As for the "lesser of two evils"?  Well, that's what you get in a majorative democratic ruled state (i.e. Duverger's Law http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duverger%27s_law).  If we had proportional rule, there would be far more choices, and our interests would be much better represented, and people might actually feel that the democratic process was at work.
And more than thirty or forty per cent of the eligible electorate might turn out to vote.

ANd I truly do think democracy is a good idea, I wish somebody would actually try it sometime.</description>

		<description>Yeah, that waffle is bothering me quite a bit too. My 30 second reason for supporting Obama is that he will get us out of Iraq, and he will be much better on civil rights. 1/2 ain't gonna be good enough.</description>
