The problem is that Americans have become complacent and just accept what the Govt says.

We have given up making our elected officials be responsible for their actions and votes.


just my 2 cents

I know I will still vote. I always will...but this time, for who? The Democrats seem to do very well with non-binding resolutions but, not much else. It's sad to think but I don't think the country is ready for a Woman or a Black President. So, all that's left is Edwards/08

Heh heh I agree with you. I do however like Edwards and Obama.

I don't think Clinton is electable in a general election and I think Obama has a very unfortunate name to go along with him being black that will tend to make the general population scared of him.

That leaves Edwards and with all the hype about his $400 haircut it pretty much shows the maturity and intelligence of the media and 'golly gee whiz maw, I cun vote' crowd
