WE ?

FYI - You have a Prime Minister not a President.
First of all....you're too young to vote.. and you couldn't vote in the U.S. unless you lived here and were granted citizenship.

I'm glad you care...but come on, kid...Seriously. :rolleyes:

The first time I voted for president I DID vote for Howard the Duck. He was actually running- though I never did get my "Get Down America" button I paid for- bastard.

Yeah, and talking about nothing but change isn't cliché at all. Fuck politics, they piss me off, especially when people don't realize that their fucking opinions are just that... opinion. When you start insulting people for who they pick or begin to insinuate things about their mental health and/or stereotype them and what they believe in you become more of a joke than the politicians that lie to us every year.

now the green lantern ... hmmm ... you might be onto something there.

Which is so interesting (good or bad depending on the person) is America's opportunity for Prez. All you have to be is:

---35
--A US born citizen
---Lived in the country for at least over 14 yrs.

we have an impending election up here - the signs are on the lawns ...

there has been multiple instances of people having their brake lines on their cars cut because of who they are supporting via a sign..

nice..

politics dont piss me off so much - but the general public sure does.

Yeh, they all promise change but it is necessary and considering Obama himself is a change from the usual kind of people being put forward I think he could bring it.

Exactly, we wonder why the candidates run attack ads when we're attacking those who don't agree with our decision.

Technically no...but that's what they often are. Not all of them were born with Silver Spoons in their mouths though, like John McCain and George W. Bush were though. But I give you that. Most of them all are rich, white male, protestants.

But I assume most of them are rich specifically because of the jobs they had before. Most people (although you don't have to but it's pretty sensical to) who run for the Oval office have been at least some representative for a town, commmunity or State. Whether it be mayor (city), town (city concil representative) or state (Governor or Senator) and senators I know make a little over $165,000 a year--that's just a newbie one. Most are around a quarter of a million ($250,000). If you have rank in congress too, say a majority or minority leader, you make 500,000 a year. Speaker of the house about 150,000. More local officials such as city council reps, mayors, and governors make between $70,000 - $206, 500.

But not all of them are. I don't remember the kids name. But one day on the Ellen Degenres show, she had the nation's youngest mayor. He was 18; he turned 19 soon after the show I believe. He didn't think he was going to win--said he campaigned just for the heck of it, and won! So every story isn't the old fashioned way every time.:)
