I agree completely. I dont claim to know much about politics but it seems blatantly evident even to a dude like me with what little savvy I have, that
the corruption and power that are so firmly in place in the upper echelon of our federal gov't are such that no honest man with good intentions can even
get a look at the ladder it takes to climb to become president, let alone get on a rung or ascend to the top. Big $ and lobbyists seem to control our destiny and it will probably take granny git yur gun & a good civil clash before it will ever change, if it ever does. WE are no longer THE PEOPLE. "

I was reading the above when I decided to answer this thread.




I will not cast a vote for President this year. I can't support the direction we've headed the past 8 year, nor can I support a one term senator with a touch of arrogance.
I admire and I am thankful for McCain's service Grateful to a man that suffered for my freedoms. He will be our next President and I will then support him. I just can't support more of the same as a canidate. I'd also support Obama if he became President. I'd support any sitting President. I just can't find the name on the ballot this year I'd like to see in the whitehouse..

I am with soaker,everyone in this country no matter what color you are gets the position based on qualifications,credentials,and background ,why should this job be any different?

If these 2 guys were heart surgeons and I was laying on the table waiting for open heart surgery, I would like to think that the most qualified surgeon was going to perform the surgery,even if I wasn't that fond of either one of them.
It is true that the country has been thru a lot the past few years, but a Democrat or Republican President would have had bad publicity no matter what. The bottom line is we are who we are and it is gonna take more than a new President to make a change. Washington D.C. needs a whole new facelift and get those politicians that are just looking out for themselves out of there. I also would vote for a black man if he was the right man or woman for the job, but I honestly think that experience and qualifications are a must!!...Just my opinion, but how a Muslim raised man with not even a hint of an AMERICAN name with ties to our enemies has made it this far in our political circle is beyond me. Yes,we need a change...But be careful what you ask for.

Thousandfs upon thousands have fought and died to help give you the right to vote no matter who you vote for so please VOTE. Not voteing is a slap in the face of these brave men and women that have fought and died for us. If there is no one on the ballot you like then write in some one.

I'll vote, just not for president. Congress controls this country for the most part. If I don't care for either ticket, say i don't like 2 movies, Why should I buy a ticket to one of them if I don't want to see it????

I'll vote in the races where I am sure of the canidate I prefer.

Judging from the vote, it seems you guys are happy with the way this country has been run for the last eight years. So i guess at least four more wont make a difference to you. I'm retired now at 55 because my job was lost to imports. I make ends meet but thats about it. You think trying something new is bad? Hope your kids and grandkids are ready for the new regime. Or is it the same old, same old. God Bless America and good luck.

the last 8 years have not been perfect by any means but i have made the most money i have ever made in the last 8 years. i can remember when gas was $1.25 a gallon and i didnt have enough money to buy a gallon. now its $3.59 to$4.00 gallon and i dont like the price but i still fill up every time i need gas. i would love for it to be better but i am not sure it will ever get any better. but i want a president that intends on standing up for america. keeping america free. lowering taxes not raising them. a person that wants to make government smaller not bigger. obama's plan may be good for some people but it sounds like it will rip me a new one. i hope and pray everyday he does not get elected. the last thing we need in this country is another jimmy carter.

Amen Bigfish!

New regime? Not sure where that is headed or what it meant. Regime seems like a term I have heard during reports from overseas Islamic/Muslim problems. I hope and pray (and not to Allah) my children and grandchildren never see a regime in the USA. Judging from the vote, I see belief in picking the best of our choices. Complacency is not predicted from a poll. And as for the race card/general stereo-type bulllstink.........well that's just HORSE SNOT! But to be expected, unfortunately.

all you can do is vote for the man that will do the least amount of damage. our government doesnt run right because of the people. the people keep electing the same people and our government is not setup that way. you are not suppose to be a life long career politician. its setup to have someone elected and after their term is up, to hit the road and go back to farming the land if thats what you do, not to live in washington. its all about the dollar , getting ads, raising money, putting your face out there and that takes money.but i really think this poll should go away before someone gets their feelings hurt and the bashing starts. lets talk fish!

[gabulldog]

well i keep up with all of this stuff not that im the smartest person in the world or that iclam to be but like some has said the last 8 years has been the best for me pay wise then ever befor
most want to say the ysa is in a down turn but realy in the big pic theres only a few things thats hurting right now one bein housing and mogages and they kinda did that to them self
and the atuo is hurting bad becouse of gas
but every other market is up and has been for the last 3 quaters but some want to say we are in a down turn
and obma wants to tax the rich and bisnesses more well i can tell you last time they did that so many got layed off wasnt funny and
see in the usa small biz makes up 80% of all and they tax them more well prices go up and they start laying off to keep afloat and being one of them i just cant have that happen to me it would put me under and i would have to close my doors

anyways allen is right lets talk fishing =)
