I agree with change, but change for the sake fo change is blindly dangerous. Are we as a nation to the point of desparation to jump off the proverbial cliff, just because it's different. As I responded to you on another post, I'm not voting for either Obama or McCain, and that HAS changed over the last 3 months.
I don't like Bush. He has failed us miserably on Iraq; (should have finished the job in Afghan first). He is not a leader. He failed the same way Carter did, surrounded himself with the wrong people. Reagan spent tons of money, yet we loved him becasue he was a leader.
I don't like Obama because his "Change" is to create more government and more taxes. I'm tired of the Federal Government running our lives, time to turn it over to the State and local people - who I have more control over. If you like Social Security you'll love Federal Health Care.
As a non-Bush or Obama supporter, I chuckle at all the Bush bashing, (I chuckle at all the Obama slander too but that won't fit into my next point). The U.S Congress (Senate and House controlled by Democrtas), has an approval rating of 18%, the lowest ever recorded. Bush has an approval rating of 28%, also the lowest ever recorded, but still 55% higher than the Democratic Congress!!! So, Bush bashing is a kin to endorsing Obama's "Change" for the sake of change... the hammer is missing the nail.
I want change too... Less Government, not MORE.

Actually the congress can and has overridden Bush's vetos so congress is in charge but they are not working on real bills but passing national cowboy day, in honor of the democratic convention in Denver, national plumbers week, and so on and so forth but not on 12 appropreation bills that run the government and not on the drill here drill now. Speaker of the house Reid said he will bring Washington to a standstill before he allows a vote on it, Pelosi has told other democrats to say they are for drilling and blame her for not being able to get a vote on it so they can get elected and everyone is blaming Bush. Get it? The democrats do not work with a republican president, they said they would not and they have not. Go check it out.

My views on Pelosi... Blehhh! She's no good.
Dem. Congress... Blehhh! They suck.

I am agreeing with you regarding the Congress, they are lazy and may as well work from home.

DogJ, with the lack of accomplishments of government in the U.S., there is clearly room for it to play a much more constructive role in people’s lives. With the rate we are going today, many Americans sense this already. One of the most common complaints about government is that it is not doing enough to address a lot of problems. Sure the air is cleaner than it was, but we still have major smog problems in many cities. Of course we have done much to reduce poverty among the elderly, but a high level of poverty among the general population still exists. And while Medicare and Medicaid have greatly increased the people covered by health insurance, 47 million people remain uninsured. Some may be tempted to conclude from these situations that government simply can’t do anything more to help – that we have reached the limits of what government can do in these areas. But this is not the case. We know that government could actually do much more. How do we know this? Because governments in many other advanced democracies have already done much more to effectively address these problems. The fact that we lag behind our democratic neighbors in so many policy areas demonstrates that our government could accomplish even more than it has done already. There is a real possibility that increased government efforts could do much more to improve our lives in significant ways. Such as Gas Prices being unfairly im

So, in the end the only thing we are really disagreeing on is WHO should lead the change... the Feds or the States.
I say since the Feds have amassed a deficeit equal to $505,000 per household, it's the States turn.
In fairness, I think your gas price anology smells of Communism. Why do prices, gas, health, food, etc. have to be equal everywhere? Even if the playing field is level, the results will not be identical.

We don't need "more government", we need to overhaul what we have now. Return it to a "government, of, by and for the people". Maybe appoint a committee of "average taxpayers" to monitor what the politicians do, behind closed doors.

=Whatever it takes.

The gas thing is simple. There are different additives in the gas for each region. City has to have more for the pollution factor. Rural has less and therefore cheaper. Also, the trucking company isn't going to deliver gas 10 miles for the same price as 50 miles.

bulldogman, I thought the government subsidizes to rural areas to encourage people to work in the cities, so to do so the price of gas is relatively ten cents cheaper than the inner city. Yeah DogJ, I believe the ball should be handed to the state, the Feds have total f'd the system.

I heard his speech, lower gas prices, an affordable health care payment plan for most everyone,terminating the Iraq War, jobs, tax relief for the middle class, the economy, you name he promised it.

No one person can do this, either party, and no one person made it all go bad. It's a world economy.


A useless election day.

he2funny,
Obama is promising the impossible. He is just not experienced enough, hell I think there are bloggers here more politically experienced. Don't get me wrong McCain isn't worth a BOOGEDY either. I believe a retarded poodle can run this country better than any of these jokers running.

This is to everybody....
Honestly, does anybody think Obama would have this much support if he was caucasion? Afterall he did already play the race card with the whole "I don't look like the other past presidents on our money" (well, something along them lines). I'm sorry as a minority myself I believe people's political eyes are being clouded by "Wow, an african american could finally end up winning the oval office" what i just said will probably be attacked but you know what? I really don't give a BOOGEDY because I bet Obama would have all of his same supporters if him and McCain switched views. All it is is his appearance, if it weren't for his appearance and he was caucasion Hillary would of picked up the nomination a long time ago, and you Obama supporters know I'm right whether you want to admit it or not.

Remember people ALL of these politicians are a bunch of good for nothing liars that will tell you anything to win your vote. So before you vote please use that thing inside your head called a brain and try to attempt to look past the candidates appearances. That is the problem with this year, statistically more young people than ever will be voting. What does young mean? Inexperienced, i'm not calling young people dumb but alot of them hasn't honed their common se
