1. Hmmmm
Nice numbers, but it's hard to know if an online poll means anything.

3. It sounds like you aren't willing to support the Democratic
Candidate. What is your ideology? Who would be the Other you may wish to chose?

4. Who I support is irrelevant...
I was curious as to why there are so few choices. I think some serious competition from several parties would be good for everyone.

I've come to the realization that Republicans and Democrats are simply opposite sides of the same coin. Their only REAL interests are in making sure that the corporations that get them elected get their payback, almost always at the taxpayers expense.

While I most certainly do NOT support Bush or his gang of thieves I've yet to hear from Senator Kerry about his plan to get our troops out of overseas commitments, or how he plans to get rid of NAFTA, or how he plans to drastically cut government spending on things the government has no business spending money on (foreign aid comes to mind), or how he plans to reduce the amount of money the government forcibly steals from my paycheck each month. The list goes on and on, but I think you get my point.

5. not to mention
How does the Pentagon "lose track" of billions of taxpayer dollars?

Why does the federal budget increase every year no matter who is in power?

When are the parties going to get serious about the aggregate national debt? When it can't be paid off?
