Hehe! It's true....for the most part. ;) I have my like of a certain candidate by the name of Ron Paul who I don't think is really full of it. But it seems to me that everyone else thinks so so they are going to vote for the guy who just comes out and says he wants to stay in Iraq for another 100 years. Gag me with a spoon.
Have you ever seen that cartoon Futurama? They have an election and the two candidates are Jack Johnson and John Jackson, complete clones of each other and saying the same things just different ways. That's how I feel about the front-runners in this election so far. No one wants to take a chance and stray from the pack. I know it's only the primaries and they are competing against people from their own party and similar beliefs but it's hard to tell them apart on their issues. I'm kind of like "eh" on who gets nominated. And that's sad for me.
I thought you were for Hillary? She's a front runner.
And for some reason I always find myself going for the so-called underdog. Voting Libertarian or Independent. But as long as I know I voted morally and voted for what I truly believe in and not what the mob wants me to vote for then I'm ok with it. However...this group running this time is pretty sad. And you are 100% right when you say they all repeat each other but in different ways.
If Ron Paul doesn't get the nomination...I'm screwed. I don't want to vote for anyone else.

I am for Hillary and I like her but I think I was spoiled. Cause I loved Al Gore, still do! And I was so passionate about his candidacy and potential presidency that not having someone like him make me kind of ho-hum about my choice. I like her the best, and little because I'm just short of a Clinton shrine in my closet :), but for the most part it's her stand on healthcare.
I think one of the reasons I like you is because you are putting full support behind someone who isn't (currently) a front runner. I hate people who say stupid things like "If you don't vote for a big name, you are throwing your vote away" (yes, I heard this at work). Throwing a vote away is not voting. Period.
