    Is this the best we can come up with?

     

     

    Out of the entire United States, are these the best canidates we could come up with?  Is this the cream of the crop?  If it is, maybe that's why so many people have lost their faith when it comes to voting in the Presidential Election.

     

     

    As you get older (I am 39), you soon realize that whomever gets elected it doesn't change anything.  You're not going to wake up the day after election and find yourself making $10,000 more a year and paying $2 for gas.  It's a pipe dream folks, much like the American Dream/Nightmare that has been the falacy of this country for decades.

     

    You can replace employees at Dunkin Donuts, but come Monday morning, suprisingly enough, their still churning out Donuts.  Oh sure, they may sugar coat them or throw some powder on top, but once you sink your teeth into them, you realize it's still a donut. -But you continue to eat it anyway.

     

    I really have no interest in voting.  It appears a waste of my time, because no matter who gets elected, we're not going to be any better off then the day before.   It's the old saying, fool me once, shame on you, fool me a second time, shame on me.  I'm tired of playing that fools game.

     

    Obama will get elected. Why?  The same reason Clinton got elected.  People are tired and grasping for any gleam of hope of a changing economy.  Can he change it for us? Of course not.  Imagine being led across the desert for the past 8 years with your leader promising you water that you never find.  Now, it's time to decide if you want to elect a new leader.  Do you stay with the leader who couldn't find water or do you elect to find someone else to guide you?   It's a no brainer.  You may not find water with the new leader, but you'd be a fool not to try.

     

     

    I'm out of the game.  I'll watch the results on TV, but that's about it.

     

    Glen Beck would do a better job than both of them combined!
