I disagree with how horrible you think Obama would be as president, but I will humor you...

None the less, apparently you still feel fine with voting for McCain's chains.

Exactly. EXACTLY. Now we're gettin' to it.

Bushie is "helping" every Tom Dick and Harry on the PLANET, .....

EXCEPT for you and me!!!

You and me, he's SHAFTING us - and that rotten bastard is supposed to be WORKING for us!!!

Instead, he's pissing away our money one some hare-brained scheme in a piss-ant little country halfway around the globe that NO ONE CARES ABOUT - the only reason we're even there AT ALL is because it's triangulating Russia, China, and the Middle East. So, the US just kinda waltzed in there and took up residence, is what it amounts to - IN the name of the "war on terra", whatever that is....

All I know is, we've spent almost 4 TRILLION dollars on a grand total of just over 54,000 people. That's how many "dangerous terrorists" our intelligence agencies say there are. So, you do the math, and tell me how many dollars we've spent to NOT have Osama Bin Laden's head on a platter.

No, I'm sorry pal. I can tell you two things for sure:

a) I want to know what's going on. Those elected representatives, they're supposed to be responsible to ME.

b) I'm not givin' 'em another red cent until they tell me what's going on. Not ONE DIME. NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION!!!

Bottom line here is that Kucinich would make a damned fine president.
He seems to be one of the rare that wants to clean out the closets in the White House. He's pushed harder than anyone to impeach & prosecute the Bush administraion.

I will give him that much.

Take a good look at this statement, and ask yourself, "Why is America in the place it is today". You may be surprised to find that you have answered your own question.

The bailout does suck but it is understandable why it was passed. Bush had already destroyed our dollar and without the bill our economy would have likely crashed.

Democrats overwhelmingly supported it, with 2/3 backing the FIRST bailout proposal.

Now you have put yourself in the position of backing the policies of Bush because if you vote for anyone other than Obama that is exactly what you are doing. All 3rd party candidates will lose so a vote for one of them takes a vote from Obama. If Obama loses VA by one vote and McCain wins VA and thats enough for him to win, you just put another Bush in the Whitehouse. Way to go Inky!

The bailout isn't a partisan problem, even though it makes it easier to not think and pretend it is.

Which is why I said that although the bailout sucks, it is understandable that it passed. When policymakers (congress) were told by the supposed "economic experts" what to expect with and without the bailout, the picture painted without it was mighty grim. Enough democrats and republicans knew from the get go it was going through one way or the other. Some balked more than others probably for their own political gain but they all knew there was going to be this giveaway.
