    Ok Bob, all that is true.... but Shine's post nailed the real truth and does more then blame someone for all of our problems. Voter apathy and the resultant pitiful low voter turnout is the problem. I don't think everyone is fooled by the media, I'd like to give most people credit for having a bit more intelligence then that. It would seem to me that you and a lot of others view the majority of us as a bunch of babbling idiots who are like lambs being led to the slaughter.... If all your beliefs don't come from what you hear and what you read, then where do they come from??? But you are correct in saying we have the government we deserve, the government that apathy put into power and apathy allows to remain in power. It's easy to blame someone else, be it the media, liberals, conservatives, or whoever but we all must also remember that when one finger is pointing at some one, many times 3 fingers are pointing back at the real culprit!!!! It's just the same old blame game, "I didn't do it, it's all _______ fault". Much easier to just complain.... Just what is it that makes your sources any more credible then Alan's or anyone else's??? Right wing and left wing spread the propaganda and bs at the same rate!!!!!

    By the way, election time doesn't mean anything is going to be cured. The rising food prices will start before that and by the time January comes around and all the newbies actually take over in Congress and the White House (big maybe on the White House) rising prices will already be upon us. Again, we're waiting on a reactive government and not a proactive government....

    One final note, if Mitt Romney is our last best hope, we're all in a heap of trouble anyway!!!! The only plan our purpose I've heard him come up with is that somehow, magically, he's going to do away with Obama's health care plan his first day in office and the he has a plan to fix the economy Or is it just as secret as Obama's "secret agenda" that many would have us believe will cause the end of the country????

    Obama supporters are very enthusiastic about him for their own reason, and will probably show up at the polls in great numbers.. Let's just hope that Romney's supporters are just as enthusiastic and will show up at the polls in greater numbers!!!! I'm one of "them" who is not voting for Romney but rather voting against Obama..... I don't believe Romney is the right man for the job, but I guess he's better then what we have....

    One party is not all good, nor is the other party all bad.... Voter's need to vote for the man and not just the party....Both parties have good people and bad people.... Perhaps if for this election, voters would vote for the people who are going to best look out for ALL of us and not just the special interests who they represent.... If not, then it's correct that "it doesn't make any difference". A sad thing to say, but the way I see it, the truth.....


    PS--my prediction for voter turnout is 43%.....pitiful. We will again get just exactly what we deserve.....
