Elections

Great points in this article!

I would have to suggest that Nixon's landslide victory in 1968, will always stick out as one of the most powerful elections in history. Although one can consider Nixon whatever they may, a moderate conservative, or a modern day moderate, he was the turn, of what we have lived in for the past 30 some years, which is an unending swell of Conservatism. Probably in response to the radicalism of the 60's...... As mentioned, however, I do think this election is meaningful, in that it represents a show not tell philosphy, HOWEVER, both canidates are so extremely moderate we are not going to see any real challenges, which is discouraging to me. I think we need to see major differences ideologically STRONGER differences, see some real EXTREMES!

Revolt

We are the leader of the Anonymous Liberation Front! We are here to tell you that we have over 9000 penises and they are all raping Sarah Palin's family.

where have you been

Shelly, this country is already in a economic crisis. From the Bush era mismanagement.

turnout in Ohio

I swear the following is true: I live in Columbus, Ohio (Franklin County) an area predominately democrat. I voted today at 11:00 am. Not a single person was in line ahead of me or behind me. And only one other person was voting when I went in. While the location was not one of the larger polling places, if that is the trend across the state, you can chalk Ohio up to McCain right now.

check your facts

Mackenzie and Shelly check your facts on taxes, Its so simple you make over 250K as a couple your taxes would go up, I dont see the richest people in America complaining,(Oprah, Bill Gates, warren Buffet, just to name a few), Just those who want to keep it the same, and divide our country by race and class. So what's not right about Obama ? He's far smarter than Mc Cain And dumb azz Palin. So just Be real with yourself, It's the fact thats hes A Black Man, why you allow yourself to be misled. Wake UP and face it you might be a undercover bigot

Let me Encourage You..

Amy, why haste? The time is now. Move.

Obama

Obama wants to change our national anthem because it's "too violent", the same one that has been our anthem for hundreds of years. He also thinks our flag is a "sign of oppression" and will not salute it. Big red flag people, he supports terrorism.

unity

i thnk obama deserves to be the president coz as a black american,he will unite both the blacks and whites,all over the world,particularly in america hence total eradication of racism
