| Rumor has it that Obama will replace Biden with Hillary. The Biden video in the previous posts is preparing the country for the change. This would not be surprising from the change candidate, as he has changed his mind constantly on MAJOR issues throughout the campaign. |

I consider Nobel laureate Al Gore one of the great men of this century. To call him an idiot is to misunderstand virtually everything about him. He should have been president. It would be a better world today if the lying criminal neocon Karl-Rovites had let the election go honest. |

I will vote for Obama, and donate to his campaign. The Bush!tes have started this country down a long slow slide to hell. McCain would just finish the job.

I think a lot of us are just trying to keep quiet. For myself and I am guessing others, I am just not interested in getting into discussions revolving around "mainstream" politics.
For me it is all about the economy and neither one of the candidates has the skills to tackle the systemic rot that is destroying the country. So my view is that if Ron Paul or somebody like him is not being discussed, there is just not much point.
Heck, even with Ron Paul at the helm we would probably still head down the crapper, but if he could get people to listen him to the recovery would be faster and longer lasting... |

As for Palin asking the librarian to leave for political reasons because that's common procedure when administrations change? Two faults:
1. Wallisa has less than 10,000 people in it -- it's not a large administration. After a few election cycles, there wouldn't be anyone left to hire. In U.S. cities of that size, very few, if any positions are filled with the incoming candidate's staff.
2. Despite what commentors on Michelle Malkin's website may write, the position of "town librarian" is not a political post. Not even in a town with just 10,0000 people. Not even if the librarian campaigns for the opposing candidate.
That might be correct - reminds me of travelgate - where the Clintons fired a travel office worked who had been there since John Kennedy to give the job to a friend. |

Well said horgad. Sadly, I think that as you say, and as Ron Paul says in his book, there is just not enough difference between the parties anymore to make a difference...sadly for our country and our future, you really cannot trust any of them |

Go, tmaring!
I however, will NOT vote, as I truly believe it just doesn't matter anymore.
Juan McAmnesty and the Disney Hockey Mom vs. Obama Bin'Laden and that old guy? Where's the beef? |

I personally prefer this version of his full name: Iraq Hussein Osama.
And the other one (in full) is actually Juan McAmnestia.
All in good fun. I think someone else on this board said, "If I don't laugh, I'll cry." |
