Reply #28: Bullshit.

This is the kind of thinking that helped bring this band of neocon thugs in office.

It is wrong-headed in the first degree.

Just because you don't get everything you want from a politician, doesn't mean you shouldn't make the better choice, yes even what may appear to be the lesser of 2 evils.

Does anyone believe the economy would have been as bad if Gore had been elected and we had a sensible fiscal policy instead of "tax cuts for the rich", and deficit spending?

Would 9/11 have even happened *at all* (because Gore knew how serious the threat was!)? And if it still did happen, do you think we would have reacted by pissing off the rest of the world and stirring up the fundamentalists on *both* sides of this muslim-christian conflict?

The only candidate I heard even say *a word* about out-sourcing offshore was John Edwards.

Judicial appointments.

The environment.

Civil rights.

Regulation of corporations.

Regulation of the media.

There may not be many "superheros" for the little guy, but if we don't provide some feedback to the political system on picking candidates we see as better for our personal lives, then there is *no* reason for a candidate to give our real needs a second thought.

Every single one of those issues I listed above would be impacted in a more positive way by having a party in power that *at least* gives a minor amount of attention to the little guy, and the good of the country rather than only being focused staying in power and ever-loving greed.
