Does anyone else get the feeling that it doesn't matter who we vote for?

Question

Seems like we get screwed no matter who gets elected. The only thing that changes is what positions are being used and whether or not we are aware that we are being screwed. At least with W. everyone seems to be well aware that we have all been getting screwed for the last 8 years. And with "no child left behind" the kids were getting screwed too, and thats not cool. but really if Gore or Kerry would have gotten elected, we would have been getting equally screwed, just from a different direction.

When clinton was s******g us, at least we had a little bit more money, and he wasn't so rough so we kinda enjoyed it. So now the question is who would you rather get screwed by this time; a somewhat senile man approaching his 90's or a younger viral younger man who probably has some new ideas about how to s***w us. I think the answer is clear. any thoughts?

Answer 1

How many here are without a job?

Under Clinton, how many jobs did you have to work just to make ends meet?

We don't know what it would have been like under Gore or Kerry.  One can assume which means makes an @zz u me; so don't assume.

But, most the time we the people do get s***w by our employees.

Answer 2

McCain is 72.  Regardless of your comments, there are other considerations about whether  your vote counts.  I was a democrat for many years but live in a red state that hasn't gone blue since Johnson.  I'm no longer a democrat or a republican so my vote will mean even less.  Also, much of the blame for what happens in the country must be shared by the House.  People don't check out their state's representatives very well and tend to vote for a familiar name.  That is a common mistake and effects the direction of the country every bit as much as the president.

Answer 3

Considering that the last time a Democrat promised middle class relief, they ended up giving us the highest income tax increase in history..  I think that leaves me very cautious of Obama.  Well that and there's his addiction to smoking Socialism.

I do agree though that rarely do the people ever win in an election.  Why do you think Congress has so pitifully low approval?  They completely forgot who they work for and who they are supposed to be representing.

Answer 4

I would definately rather get screwed by Obama...I think it would be a very intelligent sort of s******g which will be a major change from the last 8 years.

McCain cannot even remember how many houses he has...I am afraid that he would forget mid-s***w that he was s******g us.

Answer 5

Like you say it really doesn't matter who it is. When you stop and think about it, one person isn't going to change the world, but alot of the same kind would if we could fit that group. Money has always and will always be the big factor in our lifes, because the people that are receiving the most of it find no problems with what is happening with the people that elected them.

The biggest s******g we are receiving is with the price of  gas and the big profits the oil companies are making. Gas is a big factor in our lifes, no matter where you turn, gas is that factor in the price we have to pay for whatever we buy.

Answer 6

if obama win's, it's gonna be big and it's gonna hurt

Answer 7

It matters, Obama & Biden are definitely better than McCain & Palin...

Obama & Biden went to Law School the other two well, let's just say they follow the Bush playbook on education.

Obama/Biden 08

Answer 8

You are right, we get screwed either way.  Doesn't even matter in Kansas who I vote for - the majority rules where the electoral college votes go - so unless I vote with the majority my vote doesn't count at all.  

Answer 9

I believe with your first premise that we get screwed either, but I do not agree with your second premise that the choice is clear.

I see McCain as a c**p shot (i.e. gamble) whether he will return conservatism to the Oval Office or purse the big government policies and fiscal irresponsibility of Bush.  

If McCain can bring conservatism back to the Oval Office, then he clearly the better pick.  If McCain continues along the lines of George Bush's big government and fiscal irresponsibility, then Obama is the better pick.  

It is a gamble that I am not  going to play along with not playing the "lesser of two evils" game.  I am supporting the libertarian party. That is the clear answer to me.

Answer 10

Absolutely, they are all in the pocket of big business.
