    Bottom line, if you want to change the government you cannot re-elect people or return them to office.

    You need to fill every position with a newbie, over and over and over and never stop doing it.

    Single-term limits are the only real answer.

    No kidding? Fantasy world? Really?

    For the record, I'm not even close to actually deciding to vote for this guy. Please tell me why I shouldn't.

    "old man"...what a good one.

    "on the defensive"? No, not really. There's a long ways to go before I finally make up my mind who to vote for. There's only one thing for certain: It ain't gonna be Obama.

    the "he isn't" mantra brought us Al Gore "He's not Clinton!" and John Kerry "he's not Bush!" and John McCain "he's not Bush!"

    um, the "he isn't" bandwagon is owned and driven by our current President. Unless there way something meritorious in his past that everyone missed?

    totally agree, though, that it's a really crappy way of deciding our leaders. Unfortunately, it appeals to the lowest common denominators.

    its a two party system for gods sake, one of them will always be "not like the other guy". sometimes both of them even.

    but you are too smart for any of that nonsense...

    what do you mean, did you shit yourself and lose like 10 lbs?

    or just burned all the calories off from jumping for joy?

    i meant that for a large portion of the country, they couldn't tell you where the eff Afghanistan (or Pittsburgh, for that matter) is on a map, or what a QE2 actually is. Saying "I'm not the guy that's making your life suck right now" is easy, and between that and the automatic votes for (D) or (R) make up a more-than-I'd-personally-like amount of votes for the Leader of the Free World.

    So yeah, I think I'm smarter than that.

    I lost over 30 lbs.

    1) Eating right

    2) Walking 3 miles about 3 to 4 times per week

    3) Sleeping better
