Lesser of two evils
That's what we go for.
New Yorkers voting presidential elections, while votes won't count one way or the other. We are all wrapped up in this get bush out thing, that we aren't seeing the big picture. We live in a two party system that doesn't allow any real change to ever occur. For anyone to be elected president they need donations. The benefactors who give to both parties control our country. Huge corporations, who get laws passed whenever they need it. Okay so we have a Conneticut candidate who is supposed to be our savior from the big bad bush. So he threw a few medals in a fire while when he came from a war. Medals that are sold two for a dollar. Dude everyone knew that Vietnam was wrong. Being a hippie activist was the fad at the time, and the difference between that guy and the career politician who was a senator when Bush was elected, who didn't support the congressmen against Bushes tactics in Florida, is not the same person. Politics is game, that is what it is. To get anywhere you must compromise your personal beliefs. You lose conviction. You need the money to campaign, you need endorsement, and you must make promises to get these things. How can someone with real vision and real conviction ever survive in a two party government. So a few parties have gotten people elected on a state and city level, it doesn't change the fact that it is almost impossible for this to happen in an electoral college.That is that, life is like this and it isn't going to change until enough people refuse to vote for the lesser of two evil. Is voting for someone else throwing away your vote? No it is standing for what you believe. Conviction is the name of the game, without it you are naked and miss-represented. I have fun, I joke, I bug out. Please don't confuse that for being dumb. I haven't had the best formal education, and even though I don't peruse debates all the time, it doesn't mean I don't know things when I open my mouth.
Thanks.

Here enough is when people try to make you feel smaller than them.
Education is important, but it doesn't make other people stupid.

Enough...
