This particular John Q Public citizen has revoked his trust... all of it, from the politicians that no longer repersent him.

You want me to believe anything out of hand, you had better offer some damned detailed proof in the absence of verifiable action or deeds.

I don't want you to believe anything. Just pointing out an argument McCain could use.

I am not a big McCain supporter you know, the man will turn which ever way the wind blows. I just wish I could feel more comfortable with Obama. Him I have no issues with, but him with Reid and Polosi. That I worry about.

That said, there is a point that everyone seems to gloss over in a presidential election. What is important is not the person who is elected, but the gang of thousands he/she brings along for the ride. If Obama/Biden were to run with the assurance that McCain/Palin would make the appointments, I would vote for Obama/Biden. I would also vote for Obama/Biden if I knew that Obamas entourage was going to be appointmented with a McCain/Palin win.

I am not voting for or against a candidate. It is the clowns that make the circus.

I hear ya. It's just too bad that folks won't move past that and realize that the circus is the party machinery and vote against both parties. Then ban lobbying so the assholes that got tossed out have to actually make an honest living.
