Our system is messed up now
Something happened around the time of the 2000 election. Our political climate is different. It's changed to wear we feel so divided.

The republicans have all the power and control. Will we ever get control?

I have no faith in the system anymore. I'm tired of the voting...it feels like it doesn't even matter when all the dirtly tricks take place..why bother.

I'm tired of voting and then getting a president we didn't want. He defies everything I believe in. I would rather be governed by a mixed partisan committee..than by one man that can do so much damage.

John Kerry was born to be president. If you read anything about him you will hear countless people say this. It's in him, in his blood. He deserved this. One of the reasons why he lost is because he had the courage to have integrity, and never stooped down to Chimp's level. And as far as the election goes that hurt him.

I will not address Dumbya as president..ever.

1. It was messed up before. It's just showing more now because
of the * junta.

This is why I favor election reform, but it will only be useful if we don't have an Admin already in power intent on stealing every election.

3 in a row now! My heart goes out to Max Cleland. This has got to be making him nuts.
