Depends. Most are, but still.

I just feel that McCain was much more convincing than the circus clowns that are in the race this year.

Well, the electoral college system makes my vote worthless anyway. New York will vote Democrat. It always does.

Because you're a swing state, candidates will actually campaign there. Republicans don't even bother here.

May just be my euro bias though

Does your media not report approval polls?

I've seen them, but still. That most people aren't happy with the performance of the incumbent doesn't mean they'll vote for whoever wins the repub primaries.

the enslavement to nature of people today cannot be separated from social progress. the increase in economic productivity which creates the conditions for a more just world also affords the technical apparatus and the social groups controlling it disproportionate advantage over the rest of the population. the individual is entirely nullified in face of the economic powers. these powers are taking society's domination over nature to unimagined heights. while individuals as such are vanishing before the apparatus they serve, they are provided for by that apparatus and better than ever before. in the unjust state of society the powerlessness and pliability of the masses increase with the quantity of goods allocated to them. the materially considerable and socially paltry rise in the standard of living of the lower classes is reflected in the hypocritical propagation of intellect. intellect's true concern is a negation of reification. it must perish when it is solidified into a cultural asset and handled out for consumption purposes. the flood of precise information and brand-new amusements make people smarter and more stupid at once.

Huntsman has more substance than McCain. Too bad it seems it's going to be Newts vs Romney.

I still have hope though. I would volunteer for Huntsman if he won the nomination.

Three weeks ago it was Cain vs. Romney. A month before that, it was Perry vs. Romney. A month before that, it was Bachman vs. Romney.

Guess who the Republican candidate is actually going to be.

Jews vote Democrat. Shouldn't you be supporting the Republicans now?

I don't think Romney is that bad of a candidate. It really doesn't matter though, no matter who wins the next election their reign will be hijacked by myriad special interest groups. It's funny that we go through this dog and pony show called presidential elections every four years and pretend that it has some significance in changing the way the country is run.

The root of the problem is money.

It's absolutely appalling the way these GOP candidates (except Ron Paul) have all been pushed into supporting war with Iran. News Corp has been pushing for war with them for years now, and I fail to see why... I think the defense industry is in terror right now and funding the madness in back rooms.
