The difference between Obama and McCain is mainly window dressing.

Agreed. I've never had a candidate in a national election that I could vote for. I was too young to vote in 80 and 84. I've been stuck with a bunch of RINO senators, and the Representatives aren't a bit better.

I've always just voted against the other yahoo. It's a bit frustrating; I don't think I'm alone. The first national candidate that can articulately express a conservative viewpoint....and stick to it....will get a landslide victory, IMHO. Granted, my opinion is prejudiced, but I'm fairly certain there's a massive conservative constituency out there just looking for decent leadership.

I think the Dems know it too. Look how hard they're working to promote "moderates" (read: RINOs) like Romney and McCain, and tear down real conservatives like Palin.

This is telling, not to mention that Palin represents and therefore disrupts one of their favorite enclaves of power, er sheeple, er voters so well.

I agree. I find when I talk to many people (including life long democrats)they would rather not have the government interfering so much in their lives or taking so much of their money. Slowly more people are realizing that the leaders of both the republican and democratic parties are bought and paid for by global corporations, banks, and financiers.

I’ve hit the point where I just can’t vote for the ‘lesser’ of two evils. It’s still voting for evil and it seems each time the ‘lesser’ evil gets worse. We just keep sidling to the left.

The problem I see is how does someone who will not bend to political correctness, and who has not been bought and paid get a chance to be elected and get play in the MSM. In the last presidential election, there were several interesting people in the republican primary who were either ignored or trashed. How do we get past that. Also how do we, or can we get past the PC brainwashing going on in schools.
