I no longer wish to be a member of the Democratic party. Jason Cable wishes to be, as the State of Pennsylvania calls it, a member of the “No affiliation” party. Most places would call this being an Independent. Because Pennsylvania has closed primaries, I will not be able to vote in our primary elections. I’m done.
Today’s Presidential Masterdebation was the final straw. Obama was an ass and McCain actually looked better. That’s coming from a life-long Democrat. Yes, both lied more than told the truth, but it’s all about image. Both of these guys are so far out of touch with “Joe 6 pack” that it ain’t funny. At least Bill Clinton knew how to talk to ordinary folk because he was an ordinary guy with a hell of a mind. He also had a libido, heaven forbid! I’d rather watch Al Gore’s Keynote slide-show 5 consecutive times than watch these two try to follow debate rules.
Senators Barack Obama and John McCain are two fools who don’t belong running this country. If you can’t directly answer a question, you should not be able to be the President of the United States. This is a basic human leadership skill that BOTH are failing over and over again. Feel free to disagree but I am frankly just tired and done with this system. Also, some PLEASE disband the Commission on Presidential Debates. Their system is flawed and the constrained debate format was a joke. Tom Brokaw had little control and the questioners could not get straight-forward answers. I do think Tom did the best job that he could in controlling the “debate.”
To back up my position, look up the word “entitlement” in the dictionary. If I pay 7.65% of my salary towards Social Security and Medicare and my employer pays the same, how do you consider it an entitlement? If you pay for something, you own it. Are they saying that I am not entitled to my own money? A legal alien can at any time withdraw their entire Social Security paid-in benefits. A citizen cannot. To me, the term “entitled” sounds like that because we are citizens we are “marked” to receive these benefits. Can’t we use a term that says that we OWN our own slice because we paid for it?
Oh, by the way, the economy tanked this week and last. What’s the solution from either one of these guys? None. I didn’t see one solid answer on the economy that had a snowball’s chance in hell of working. 4 trillion US dollars have been lost in the US stock markets in the last week. Neither one of these men could say how to get us out of this situation. It’s quite shameful.
I have one magical question for each candidate: “You said that you are against gay marriage with grants full civil and equal rights to gay and lesbian couples. Why do you hate people in the LGBT community?”
McPalin or O’Biden? You choose.

Sorry for the rant, but I’m so sick and tired of this election cycle. Why can’t we have a leader in this country show enough balls to tell us that our markets have lost 4 trillion dollars in the last week and how that will or is getting fixed?
I agree. I feel like I would rather not vote than continue to support this system that sucks and doesn’t represent most of the country.
The best person for president is probably some small business owner out there making ends meet. But we’ll never see someone like that able to cast their hat in let alone make it to the election.
