....I am just absolutely ashamed, infuriated, discountenanced....aggravated…. I just can’t take it anymore. I am absolutely embarrassed on how some people in this country, especially those in power, act and manipulate things. I am sick of the scandals, the name calling, and the corruption. I have put up with the name calling; Obama is a terrorlst, he’s a member of terrorlst cells, or I quote, from an ignorant bystander “A one man terrorlst cell”. People shouting “Kill that Negro!” Every time comments blurt out like this; my jaw drops. Is our society really going to be like this? I don’t know even where to start, but I am just applauded at how the people of this country act. The fact we still have racists is beyond me, and quite frankly, shocking. And don’t even get me started on Palin; she is probably as bad as…no worse then Bush. She is so unqualified to be in VP status and so help me god if McCain ever passes in office and please I do not wish this; the thought of Palin becoming president - **** will hit the fan. (Funny how the republicans constantly slam Obama that he has no experience, and they then pull this cat out of the bag.) And before you McCain supporters rip my head off, for blatantly whaling my arms and mouth against the Republicans, I find it disrespectful on how people call McCain too old and dumb and the people who question his records. Both sides have their bad and their good. Another thing; every one knew this would be a historical race from the get go, but as the days winds down it is just getting nasty. Claims of voter fraud getting tossed around all ready ( I beg for not another 2000) , Edit:McCarthyism* in the process as people and politicians demanding investigations into who's “Pro-America” and who’s “Anti-American” Campaigns claiming parts of states more “real” then the other. The constant mud slinging and name calling. And amidst this, the corruption within the government, the constant scandals and bickers. And On top of all this; the out stretched war in Iraq, the rapidly growing deficit, and our economy in shambles, I can’t help feel like we are in the wake of something…..the wake of something big. A political downfall; and before you start yelling conspiracy theorist, I am anything but, I’m just a regular guy trying to understand why we are so divided, why is there so much hate revolving around this election and government right now. I personally hate politics; I have lost all hope to be honest. I feel it’s corrupted beyond repair and the days of what our visionaries, who founded this great country, had in mind are long gone. How much more can we all take? Am I the only one who feels this way? What’s going to happen? Honestly, no one knows, I guess sit back, bear the ride, and hope for the best. I am embarrassed. I am aggravated. I am scared.

thats my rant for the day

I think the common ground shared by hard left and right leaners as well as moderates or centrists, whatever the term is, is the fear of what is going to happen when the new guy takes office. Obamalamas are terrified of a McCain presidency. McCainiacs are just as doom and gloom about an Obama administration. Moderates are likely at the minimum aprehensive about any of them and wish there was a strong third party.I think no matter who wins the next 8 years are going to be very difficult.

I find it emberresing that a lot of people will vote for Obama only because he is black.

O hey wall of text....

I agree though - I am scared of this election. Neither candidate is a good representation of what the country needs. How is it that the dumbest people can make it to the top of our government? Is our political system so screwed up that this can happen?

What intelligent capable person would WANT to be President? The smartest people lead from behind, from the shadows. Political office is a front-man position, controlled by others.

There's an effort to elect an unknown random person as President... and it's someone we know! See this news website about the surprising new nominee:

I could be president. It would be a defining administration. semiautomatic transmissions would be outlawed

improper badging of you car would be punishable with Kia ownership

girls on trampolines would be broadcast on all channels at about 7AM so I could do something with my morning wood.

telcoman would be issued a clown suit and a bike horn to let others know he is funny in the head and likes to make noise
