Well not Ron Paul per se but mindset that drives his beliefs. Small government as it should be, as neither major parties have delivered, nor are able to to the extent that is necessary. Regardless of who you vote for or support you must keep one thing in mind: despite how strong your beliefs are for one party or the other, or one candidate or the other, you are essentially only voting for the lesser of two evils. Government will not shrink, spending wont drastically decrease, the only thing that will change is how tax payer money is distributed. Two thirds of major corporations are tax exempt and I think it's sufficient to say that two thirds of Washington is controlled by these companies, your Maverick McCain included with his 169 some lobbyists in working in his campaign. Recognize in your own life what you're being sold, and how much you need it. Notice how going 'green' has become a business. Corporations are actually selling you going 'green'. Essentially "you can save the environment, but you gotta pay for it". The greatest irony of all time are the oil companies who are now charging you to go green, making it their business. "We'll charge you to save the very same planet we've helped destroy".

I view Obama and his party as the lesser of two evils and the greater of two men. But our government, as long as I have been alive, has worked for the benifit of itself and those who closely associate themselves with it, that is something that I as a young citizen am quite concerned with.

interesting. but would be more interesting in a differently "themed" thread.

and tessler, good post, but it seems like you're just defending your choice for obama. why are you defending your choice? are you having second thoughts?

TessleR

Well of course I'm questioning myself, if I didn't than I'd be doing myself a dis-service. I'm voting for Obama come November, and chances are I'll be volunteering for his campaign if not here on Long Island than somewhere in the midwest where I can have more of an impact. But I'm not satisfied with our government and the more I learn about the ills of our government, compared to its potential, the less satisfied I am with it.

If anything, Obama's greatest potential as president is reuniting us with the rest of the world, as he's essentially begun doing by declaring to the world "hey, we're not happy with Bush either, just look what we're trying to do!".

They impeached Clinton for getting a BJ but allow Cheney to use office for personal gain, hold Bush to no account for lying to the public regardin Iraq, something that was repeated for years. There was actually a draft put together full of 34 articles of impeachment against Bush specifically, and his administration. 34 different reasons to impeach the president, when this document was presented to Pelosi she essentially said "no way are we backing this".

if you were hinting that Obama Biden looks similar to Osama Bin Laden, then yes, you are right. no need to make up being drunk. you said what's on your mind, that's all.

but, like i said, this would fit better in a different thread.

Fiyuh

Don't forget Bob Dole.
