Thread Name: BS: Prez al-Obama
Subject: RE: BS: Prez al-Obama.....
Yeah, I'd call it a "lesser of two evils" choice to vote for Obama. This is what we usually get to do in Canada too, is unenthusiastically vote for a lesser of 3 or more evils. The political parties, as far as I'm concerned, have long ago sold out to dominating corporate/financial/bankster interests that serve the richest 1 or 2% of the populace, and it is laughable to think that they represent the general public in any honest or responsible fashion. The bank bailout was an outrage that should have been followed by something like the Nuremberg trials...and that goes for America's foreign wars of choice as well.

That said, the Republican Party is so far out of touch with reality that voting for them amounts to an act of madness. I consider Obama a disaster (and a terrible disappointment, because I had great hopes for him back in '08). I would consider Romney worse than a disaster.
