Bipartisan is the way to go
Bipartisan is the way to go. I am certain that without some sort of bipartisan system American will falter. This groupthink of red versus blue is pointless it gets nothing done. This idea that one party is better than another is downright silly. People will vote with their party regardless of what that particular person is like or stands for. Just take a look at Bush who had horrible approval ratings but got elected anyway. How is this possible? It happened because people vote with their party.
I recently noticed the obscene amount of signs for candidates and wondered why. I asked somebody and her explanation was that it helps dictate the masses. This is to me ridiculous that name recognition really will change somebody’s mind. I also think that these people for Obama who are walking around door-to-door trying to get people who will be voting for Obama to register is ridiculous. Everybody seems to have his or her own agenda.
McCain would have been a God to me if he had picked a Vice President that crossed party lines, but instead he picked the most republican woman he could find. While it was a brilliant move on his part as far as getting elected goes (because people like their parties) I think it was the worst thing he could have done. I have yet to pick somebody I support in this election but I had been leaning on McCain for the simple reason that I thought his liberal tendencies would make for happy middle grounds for the presidency. Now I am not so sure.

McCain still offers a great middle ground I think. The greatest thing about him is that he stands for people changing the system BUT has a plan to do it. Obama likes the word change but how is it he proposes to do it? McCain wants people to know what is going on in office and claims that he will make things available to the general public to know. To me this more than anything is why I would vote for him over Obama. I like the way Obama speaks and it is extremely pleasing to watch him. On the same hand I do not like the way McCain ends his sentences he starts to go down towards the end of each sentence. Just because I do not like the way McCain turns a phrase and think Obama is estremely pleasing to the eye does not sway my vote.

Mr. McCain,
If you are the person you claim you are “for the people” than please don’t vote yes for the fat cats bail out, instead vote for to pay of all the morgages in the USA. It will put the money back in the banks we can pay higher taxes and maybe for the first time in peoples live’s the will have some peace to know that they will have a roof over their heads.
Thank you,

The fact that you think Mccain is bipartisan makes me laugh. He voted with bush 95% of the time…95% voting with bush in no way or form indicates that he is bipartisan. I like your thoughts of getting rid of the red vs blue mentality but you then stuck your foot in your mouth…
I’m not voting for either candidate personally, i think they both fail, but if i had to with a gun to my head, Obama without a second thought. McCain is as fake as a politician gets.
