The last thing we need is another Bill Clinton. Bush isn't perfect but he is a Hell of alot better then Kerry. What sucks is I turn 18 6 months after the election. So I can't vote. Though I know my parents are voting for Bush.
You have to be 18 to vote? I thought it was 16. Oh well. Ah, but you're going to register to vote, eh, Jimbo? Good for you.
The thing is, it's not up to the media to bring up third parties candidates, because they'll never do it. Do you think Fox News would give equal time for Bush and a green party candidate? I don't think so. People, big corporations put their money on those 2 puppets. You have the oil companies and the war industries supporting the republicans, you have the major banks and the big commercer corporations supporting the democrats, and whoever donates the huger amount of money, elects the puppet who'll rule america for them, not for you. So you indirectly elect someone to rule for the big ones, not for the little people. THAT's what's wrong with america, can't you see? And it's not only in america, it happens anywhere, it happens here in Brazil as well (not for long I hope). So the thing is, you gotta stop being babysited by the media, stop voting for who the TV tells you to. Go to the streets, talk to your congressmen or your senator or whatever. Support a change in the electoral system. Give more credit for other parties, I highly recomend the American Green Party - except on the marijuana issues
. Vote for other parties, so they can have more people in Washington. Next election, I would like to see at least strong 4 candidates debating on real issues, and not on patriotic acts or Iraq. C'mon people, it's up to you!
