I’m with you Justin…100%…anyone who really wants “change” and tries to make it happen, gets squashed before they make it all the way to the Pres. nomination…It’s all about the money and the power…who has it…who wants it…what they are willing to do to get it…to try to get past that system, is like a salmon swimming upstream…it won’t happen…it’s not designed to happen, this whole Repub vs Dem thing is just to keep us busy fighting while the REAL changes (for the worse) are happening under both parties…2 sides of the same coin…we can’t win…we can only postpone the inevitable…vote anyway…it is our duty.

I am officially done reading her columns…or all time! U2 lyrics and gushing over Obama. As if people in other cities don’t experience the melting pot.

Nothing in Washington DC will ever change. Democrats, republicans, it really doesn’t matter. It’s all just a bunch of hot air, empty promises, and sweet lies. 80% of our elected officials don’t give a flip about America. One party is just intent on growing the federal government a little bit faster than the other. Bringing the bacon home for the people that financed their campaigns and fattening up their own personal wallets on money that isn’t theirs is what life on capital hill is all about.

Yes, its going to be a tough one for the Republicans.
Senator Obama has issues still. Why? Real simple: his background of South Chicago hasn’s been vetted yet. He talks change but doesn’t reveal how would change things. And withdrawing from Iraq during a surge isn’t going to help him. Worst to come out with a meeting the President of Iran and others has only leads to more questions who he really is. The driveby media tried to diss Hillary and brush her off. But don’t count on it. Thanks to her she’s revealed more Obama’s weaknesses than strength.
When it comes to change,real change I don’t trust novice politicians like Obama. Why? U can talk change but what are your ideas for real change? Failed socialist liberal ideas? What does a civil rights lawyer know about change and terrorist? I seen and learned more from Corporate CEOS who run sucessful companies than drive by salesman politicians who preach to the masses like a choir. Obama hasn’t convinced me at all. Who really is and why has he linked himself with those of the far left. Real Change is what Newt Gingrich is practicing. With his solutions group he has touch and ran with subject than a novice civil rights lawyer who does the talk that’s all.
Reminder: private sector leaders are real change agents not politicians who talk in cliches.

This election will be more important than any other in the recent history of the United States of America. We as a country are at a point where, as a nation, we are so polarized by our extreme differences. I would have never predicted this after 9/11. The added stress of a weak economy has not done anyhting to help morale. My hope is that both nominees rise above the usual negativity and pettiness that accompanies these elections. I also hope that whichever one is elected can truely get past the blatantly partisan political war games that occur in our nations capitol.

Umm… it might just be me, but I actually watched Sen McCain’s speech and thought it was rather unimpressive… I guess that’s why you are urging people to read the transcripts rather than watch the actual speeches… Watching Sen McCain’s speech after watching Sen Obama’s speech made it clear to me why this fall will be tough for Republicans…
