IMHO they are all bad. Everyone that ever runs will be bad. It's the nature of the beast, nobody is as altruistic as they pretend to be. They are all players in a game and I know people who don't see it that way, but I do.
You can't run a campaign based on the truth. What if current Pres. Bush said "I'm going to take us to war, devastate the economy, make enemies the world over....vote for me!". Who among us would vote for someone who didn't try to come across as the right person for the job? You cover up truths, doubletalk, and mudsling. This is nothing new.
Everyone has a past, and a present, while trying to convince the masses that they are the future of American leadership. You can bet your bottom dollar none of the candidates truly care. They are merely students of the game and know that in order to win they must sway people. That's it. So hell yeah their speeches need to appeal to the voter, and the voter needs to feel like they "get" that candidate. How else will they get votes?
I do not really like any of them. They all make me uncomfortable. So do I not vote because they are all bogus, do I try to find out who is less evil, or do I pick the lady or gentleman who's face and voice won't disgust me for the next 4-8 years?
Peace be with whatever liar wins....the world ain't happy with us right now so commence to ass kissing
but with that then the greater of the two evils stands a better chance of getting elected. I was taught that if you dont speak when I slap you then i will slap you again.
What that means is if I dont vote and the world goes down in flames then a cant yell. I have no right to complain because it is ok with me
