5. a winner IF americans vote their pocketbook which they provably don't
Edited on Tue Sep-09-08 11:58 AM by pitohui
unfortunately having the oldest modern democracy means that we have the most poorly designed version 1.0 democracy and it simply doesn't work to obtain the greatest good for the greatest number

for reasons that are not clear to me americans have not voted in their own financial interest at least since reagan, i've had foreign nationals say to me that "the american voter is stupid," which is surely part of it, on the other hand, MOST people of any nationality are stupid so it can't be all of it

i smell a set-up coming from a mile away, anything obama says or doesn't say is irrelevant if there is never any chance he will be seated as president anyway

i'm looking at 2000, where the stock market collapsed several months in advance of the election being stolen -- the market tends to be forward-looking and as early as march 2000 it seemed to be telling us that gore would not be seated as president and the good fiscal policies of the clinton era would be coming to a close

it doesn't really matter what obama says/does if the fix is in anyway

feeling most discouraged these days i'm afraid

does anyone really believe any hillary voter will vote for mccain/palin? has anyone ever met even one hillary voter who likes palin? yet this is the story in the media -- similar to gustav is a hurricane 900 miles wide -- it is a total lie and yet it is being forced down our throats

i agree that health care for all should be a key item in obama's platform but if we're going to be robbed again what the fuck does it matter what his platform says or does not say?

Even if he said it the people that are too dumb to listen to
both sides and figure out who will be best for them in the future won't hear it. Anybody who's been alive in this country the last 8 years who isn't in the top 2% of the richest and still undecided or rooting for this GOP ticket aren't able to understand that kind of language.

10. The joke is that Joe Biden was instrumental in supporting the 2005 Bankruptcy "reforms".

9. I don't think Obama would make such a promise. He isn't to the left like Bernie Sanders. nt
