My two cents

I'll start by saying, I'm not American. I live in Canada, and although we due have problems (I.E.: Health care system) after giving the state a closer look, I'm quite happy with the way things are going here. It seems Americans have forgotten the most important thing to a country. It is not the government would should rule a country, but it's people. "Elected for the people, by the people." Whatever happened to that? Seeing Bush bagging tons of cash with his presidency, using his power to wrong ends, then turning around and calling everyone terrorists? It seems the only terrorist at the moment in the US is Bush, keeping the people afraid. The people should not be afraid of their government, the government should be afraid of it's people. The French might be dicks at time, but when their government screws up, there not scared to voice their thoughts. The first 3 words in your constitution are "We, The people.." To me, it's the most important part, often overlooked.

Comments appreciated. (Non-retarded, constructive ones please.)

In 2000, we were given the choice between Bush and Gore. We chose Gore, but because of the electoral college we got Bush. Oh well, I guess.

In 2004, we were given the choice between Bush and Kerry. Kerry is a pathetic ketchup-guzzling traitor, so we chose the candidate with the best corporate connections (and therefore, the most money).

In 2008, we will choose a war-mongering idiot who will mis-use our country's power for his or her own self-serving and destructive desires. This is what America wants, and has always wanted. This is the country that killed teenage girls as witches because the insane preachers told us to. This is the country that had to fight a civil war over whether or not slavery could continue. We have never, ever considered using nuclear weapons against anyone other than helpless civilians. THIS IS HOW WE ROLL!

That's the entire problem. Why the hell are people proud of acting like such? "Yea, were monsters, and we love it!"

At least more and more American youth are starting to think elsewise. Praise them.

At least we're not as bad as the Khmer rouge. I don't hear you complaining about them.

We don't hold elections for the Khmer Rouge here in America.  We hold elections for our people instead.  Why are you so uncomfortable with the idea of an American trying to get control of his own government?

The politics of one's own nation is the properly place to focus one's attention.

I didn't say my country was perfect. Far from it. Yea, we have our share of problems, but strangely enough, our country welcome anyone. We don't build fences around our borders.

I really want to vote Democrat in 2008 but if the Democratic candidate is a black man or a woman I'm voting Republican.

I'm assuming you're not talking about the USA or Israel.  How do you handle illegal aliens?

Is this referring to current candidates, or just on principle?

He's Canadian, as he's already stated. They don't really have a process for handling illegal aliens, partly because their only border is an industrialized immigrant-magnet.

Nice selection process you have there. Care to explain your rationale for that?
