5. It has come down to a territorial pissing match
between the Hillary and Obama crowds. The rest of us are just inconsequential trivialities in their way at this point. Or at least, that is how it seems they see us. Sad, isn't it?

I'm personally leaning more toward Kucinich but also basically like Edwards, so I could still go with either of them in the primaries. The "top two" choices they are shoving down our throats leave a lot to be desired.

Too bad Kucinich and Edwards aren't in their places instead. Then we could have an election I feel excited to vote in and participate in.

As it stands now, I'm disillusioned with politics because of the fact that we have Corporate Choice #1 and Corporate Choice #2. The rest of us who do not support those two, have been told to pretty much go to hell and take our whole goddamn families with us.

This might be the first time since I turned 18 that I don't vote at all. Might not even vote in the primaries if it means going through bullies like the Hillary/Obama bunch just to vote. Damn shame too. Things could have been different if only they allowed more than just 2 candidates to get the message across.

Lesser of two evils? Choosing between Hillary and Obama is like choosing between Satan and Beelzebub to me. Same shit, same difference, different years. It's truly a sad day in politics.
