Honestly, both candidates scare me to death. McCain wants to destroy Net Neutrality, and Obama wants to federalize the oil companies. However, I suspect that Obama will win because he'll get the uninformed vote (not that people that vote for Obama ar...  [Read More]

Yep and considering his track record of doing precisely that, I'd be inclined to think that it isn't empty rhetoric. Well the fact that Obama is already in Washington gives me hope. Bush had a good record of working with Democrats in the Texas House...  [Read More]
