Ya....the dems have rolled over and played dead for Bush these days. Looks like they are all just in it for themselves.

" The story of how the Democrats finally betrayed the voters who handed them both houses of Congress a year ago is a depressing preview of what's to come if they win the White House. And if we don't pay attention to this sorry tale now, while there's still time to change our minds about whom to nominate, we might be stuck with this same bunch of spineless creeps for four more years. With no one but ourselves to blame."

I'm fed up with our contemporary political systems.

No matter where you look, nothing but corruption and desolate social responsibility. It will be the elites themselves who are threatehning the system to collapse. Has anybody heard about the massive tax evasion scandal in Germany? About 900 German super richies might have betrayed the German fiscus by obscure money transactions involving a bank in Liechtenstein. It's talk about 4 billion Euros those perpetrators - the German managers - have "stolen" from the common good. This is only the tip of the iceberg.

Greed is one of the seven death sins. I have zero understanding for this behaviour.

Isn't there anybody besides the Democrats and the Reps - maybe an independent - running as a candidate for presidency?

So...who should we vote for???

This is just typical election year journalism, imo.
Do we want four more years of Republican thinking or do we want 4 years of a different approach??
No matter who gets elected they are going to have to deal with the war in Iraq.

Politics is more about greed than anything else.
It takes millions of dollars to get elected.
We end up choosing between the two richest candidates. An Independent doesn't really stand a chance in todays world of politics.
