Agreed.

Now if we could only get the media (and the candidates) to do likewise.

It truly is the Palin-McCain ticket now.  Nobody cares about McCain; all his supporters are fired up about Palin.  They don't know much about her, they just like her.  It's the GW Bush "seems like someone I'd like to hang out with so I think I'll vote for them" disease that affects a good portion of american voters.

One thing I've noticed not said here, is that many politicians say things, get elected, and 'forget' to do what they said they would.  Anyone remember "Read my lips-NO NEW TAXES!"?

In that case, when McCain gets elected, I hope he "forgets" to do everything that he's said he's going to do.

When a republican announce his intention such as "I'm a uniter not a devider" then expect the opposite! or "No ch**d fall behind", then expecting dissing of our education system.

It's getting to be that any blatant statement is more of an opposite announcement!

I'll vote for McCain only if Sarah Palin poses nude and keeps her mouth shut for the next 4 years.  Her voice is sooooo graaaating, and she says such idiotic things.

Does anyone know if that's an Alaskan accent? That voice is kind of grating, and I thought Michigander sound quite grating.

Right now, I'm worried that American's will be forced to make one of two choices:

1.  Capitalism run-amok, will little or no gov't oversight, corporate creed beyond measure, and worst of all, privatization of basic gov't services, like education and defense.  It'll be like Weyland-Yutani (Aliens) and Omni Consumer Products (OCP-Robocop).

OR

2.  Gov't control of all assets and services.  We've already nationalized the housing and banking industry, now insurance.  Socialism isn't exactly compatible with what Americans expect.  Only elitists would be spared.

Let's all remember that the 'unofficial plan' in the next couple decades is to form the North American Union, formerly comprised of Mexico, the U.S. and Canada.  We're starting to look like Europe, and that sucks.

And no, I'm not a conspiracy theorist or paranoid schizo.  These are WORST CASE scenerios, and I don't believe they're far off.

This is what I see happening too. I think the true centrists are really being squeezed out - only the wackiest of the wack-jobs on either side are able to get elected, by playing to their respective bases. If someone has a voting record (and I'm aware that this isn't how they read, but for example) that read like this D, D, D, R, D, R - you'd hear, from the campaign of an opposing D "He sided with R on these issues...what will he side with them on next? Vote me, no flip-flopping..." And vise-versa.
My biggest problem with voting for Obama has nothing to do with him, but the Democratic Congress and Senate; I never like any one party, Democratic or Republican, controlling the Presidency, House, and Senate at any one time. It seems that's always when the 'wackiest of the wackies' are up to shenenagins and getting absolute lunacy passed into law.

And you think that the way to prevent that is to vote for the Republicans, who would never ever...oooppps?

One way to think clearly is to use words in their true meaning. "Elitist" means either "snob" or "people at the top". But when a Republican uses it, they mean "smart". If you use a fork and flush the toilet, you're an "elitist".

Do you mean something different?
