thought we could all use some laughter

If you check most of their (politicians) sites, they say they are for good jobs, good schools, good this, good that.... well no shit Sherlock. Everyone is for good jobs, schools, etc. But they never say what they plan to do, thats what I meant by "the same spew".

Now, if they said "I am for good schools, and to work toward that I plan to raise your taxes and spend $XX more on schools" or "I am for allowing you to send you kid to your school of choice by using a voucher system" then that is something that a person can actually use to make a decision when voting. But you rarely get that.

I vote DAVE HENRY for president. Even Chuck Norris will bow down.

They all say what they think we want to hear. It's not who I like the most, but more who I think will fuck us the least. To me it's probably going to be just like the last election. I'll probably be picking what I see as the lesser of two evils.

No matter who wins, WE LOSE.

What do you guys like about Obama? You find the usual spew on his web site (I'm for good education, I'm for good jobs, etc.. ). I did some searching on his voting record and it appears that he is anti-gun, he said he is for universal health care, he is for allowing gay/lesbian to get married, etc. Seems to be typical leftist stuff??? He does seem to be a good public speaker, and he talks about bringing the country together... but his votes I don't care for.

I would like to see a third party candidate take office, I feel this country is stable and balanced enough to support one, and would probably do much to take care of the little things that the bush admin is overlooking...

<u>Article 2</u> establishes the second of the three branches of government, the Executive. <u>Section 1</u> establishes the office of the President and the Vice-President, and sets their terms to be four years. Presidents are elected by the <u>Electoral College</u>, whereby each state has one vote for each member of Congress. Originally, the President was the person with the most votes and the Vice-President was the person with the second most, though this is later changed. Certain minimum requirements are established again, such as a 35-year minimum age. Presidents must also be a natural-born citizen of the United States. The President is to be paid a salary, which cannot change, up or down, as long as he in is office.

don't believe me? Check http://www.usconstitution.net/constquick.html for more details. Trust me, I've researched age requirements for political office fairly extensively.
