| Wow I know I can't be the only one who thinks both McCain and Obama will make terrible Presidents. I know it's a sin to go online and insult the messiah Obama punishable by intense flaming, but Obama is nothing but a bag of hot air. McCain is a disappointment to free-market conservatives like myself but I am relieved the Republican nominee is not a staunch social conservative.
Regardless of which one of these two douche bags win, America will lose.

| And, of course, those of us who refuse to choose between 'worse' and 'worse' get to hear 'well, you didn't vote, so you can't complain' for another four years.
I'm not going to vote for someone who lies to his own supporters (Obama), and I'm not going to vote for someone who believes virtually the exact opposite of what I do (McCain). Tell me, who, then, SHOULD I vote for, with a realistic hope of that candidate even receiving news coverage? |

While I agree to some degree, it cannot be any worse than what we have right now(maybe just as bad, but not worse). |

Both will suck, as per my opinion also. The political process needs to be revamped such as "campaign contributions" limited to $500 per person per year and zero for companies/corps. |

No, you aren't the only one. It's Douche vs. Turd round 3. |

I agree completely, $500 per registered voter per candidate, absolutely nothing else and free prime time TV for candidates.
Lets have a referendum on it, they will never pass it! its the only way to get our gov't back. |

I would add- $500 for the candidate himself. It works in Singapore where its illegal to contribute anything. |

Absolutely vote for whatever other third-party candidate suits you best. If you hate them all then, sure, don't vote. But if any of those other candidates looks good, the more votes they get, the more progress third-parties make...regardless of how limited.

Here's how our system should work.
Campaign Contributions are limited to individuals only. Corporations and special interest group ARE NOT allowed to contribute under their flag.
Lobbying should be illegal in terms of any financial transactions that take place. Let's face it, this is legal bribery in our system that harms everyone but the company lobbying most times. Doing away with the "incentive" will make politicians less likely to go along with these bad ideas. I mean, let companies have their mouth pieces as that'll never change. Yet, remove the monetary gain, and these mouth pieces are no more powerful than you or I.
Set a cap on running for President that applies NO MATTER WHAT. Level the playing field so others can run. We shouldn't be stuck with the same parties every time. Allowing others a fair shake will ensure the same groups can't always win. This lessons the rate of perceived corruption or actual corruption taking place. |
