A big M'wah to you and also to Amonester. :)

I think threads like these are so important right now where we should be discussing the real issues. Best thread in my short days here, I've been on the election discussion side here too and it seems to be filled with just polls, who would you vote for and no real substance as to why. Mind you, I'm not complaining, but there should be more discussion.

I've stated before I'm on the fence, leaning towards Edwards or Clinton. I will not be voting for Obama. Early on I was Obama or Clinton, but taking a long look and listening, IMO Obama is a mere puppet. Edwards stands on his own and can deliever without catchy phrases and cutsie words. The man has SUBSTANCE.

I'm really afraid all this talk about pulling out of Iraq is just that. Talk. Whoever is the next POTUS will pull out a few troops to throw us a bone. There is too much chaos and of course, there's the issue of OIL.

I've never been so infuriated with the media since they hyped up the shrew Bush as a "compassionate conservative". They never report on Edwards, they only put Obama on a pedestal or trash Hillary Clinton. It is shameful! We are facing tough times here (I'm a day trader and I see it, since September the market has taken a 2000 pt hit) and it feels like the media is trying to feed us all Prozac with their Peace, Love and Happiness is what Obama stands for garbage! This is just MASKING our problems, a quick warm and fuzzy feel fix, but what are the solutions? Get off the meds and guess what, the problems are still there.
