America is getting scary, i really don't see anybody i would vote on. Both republicans and democrats are bought. Corporations shouldn't be allowed to donate to campaigns, till then voting is useless...
Oddly, I think Steven Colbert and his Super Pac are going to help shed light on truly, how damaging it can be to have cooperations paying for elections... Ron Paul being a creationist has nothing to do with his politics. I am not sure if I will even vote, let alone whether or not I am for or against Ron Paul, who knows if he is really a different kind of politician or just the same thing with a different illusion. BUT - his spiritual beliefs can't be held against him. Some people choose to have faith in things because it makes them feel centered, or in control of their fate, or maybe because they fear death, or maybe they are right, who knows... maybe science is all a lie (SEE: Pastafarian, my religious choice.) and maybe all scientific fact is a ruse by a higher power just to keep us guessing. I highly doubt that to be the case, but my point is a religious debate is irrelevant when we are trying to take the steps America needs to take in order to get itself to the financial and economic stability we had not long ago,
PS - I know very little about politics and I get a lot of info from Colbert and google - haha so I am sorry if any of this is offensive to anyone religious or politically minded. I don't usually talk about such topics... but I am bored.
