Re: Doesn't really matter who wins the election....."

Yes, it matters; it matters a lot.

Re: " ....... as whoever it eventually is they will be a Politician and will Lie To and Cheat the voters."

Will be a politicians? Yes, by necessity.

But to automatically lie and cheat because of it? While we all have every good reason to be cynical and suspicious, it's not always the case. In the case of Mitt Romney, if you have some inside information in that regard, please share it with us. I'm one of the biggest cynics of government, but I'll stop short of calling a person (Mitt Romney, in this case) a liar and a cheater unless I specifically know of instances in which he (or she) engaged in such behavior. But rest assured, I, too, have my eye on him, and the first time I catch him lying and cheating, I'll pounce!

Segue: I never could understand why people who distrust ALL politicians on one hand, support bigger government on the other? You've seem to be the type of bloke who supports big government programs, which means you knowingly put your fate into the hands of those you deem all liars and cheaters. That doesn't make sense to me. I don't trust government either; but I don't shoot myself in the foot by wanting them to have anything to do with my own private affairs.

Re: "Just an observation though I can not believe that the current president is solely to blame for the current mess."

Nope, he's not. Did I ever say he was? In fact, if you've been paying attention over these past ten years, you've seen me say that "this mess" have been decades in the making. (See segue) Haven't you been paying attention?

Re: "You need to remember that he inherited a Complete Disaster ......"

Related to my previous comments.

Re: "..... and at every attempt to do anything he has been resisted by the Congress and Senate."

First of all, give me some specific examples, since you obviously follow our Congressional sessions closer than most Americans. Second of all, if "every attempt" he's made would actually make things worse (which is what I maintain), why shouldn't it be resisted? If we keep doing the same things, but more of them, that got us into this mess in the first place, wouldn't that make matters even worse? Or are you expecting someone to just better manage the mess?

Re: "There is a Rabid Bunch in the current system who are willing to destroy the country for their own personal political ends and to score cheap points."

And I want to get them out of the White House. But for my own sake, would you please give examples of who, what and when, as you see it to be?

Re: "After all what the difference between a Rabid Tea Party Person and Rabid Muslim? "

Now you're just being silly.

Regarding all your "Rabid" groups in Bosnia, or whatever, and that "genocide by anyone is unacceptable", therefore what? If "the west" did nothing, why didn't your very own Southern Hemisphere step up and do something? (Not to acknowledge that I even know what in the heck you're talking about.)
