You're still not explaining how.

It's not so much that it creates corruption, more that there would be less without it, so I misrepresented my opinion I suppose. .

Really, how much can the GOP disrespect the integrity of American intelligence?
Yeah, but Obama is in the same boat.
Alot of people are going to vote for him simply because he would be the first black president, and if someone starts pointing fingers at me and yelling "racist", I'll e-murder you.

McCain is stupid, and Obama is inexperienced.

We're screwed either way.

I'm not an Obamaniac or anything, but his foreign policy is light years ahead of anything else we've had in possibly the history of our country. The biggest thing I look for right now is a candidate who will make a concerted effort to end Western Imperialism, which is mainly the US at this point. I doubt he'd really accomplish much but at least he'd try and hopefully it wouldn't get worse. I also don't care much about education, unless the candidate advocates real reform instead of just an idiotic 'more funding' rhetoric. Our public school system doesn't need more money, it needs better management of that money.

Yes, because anarchy is the answer.

Not being experienced isn't the same thing as being bad. Especially since he picked someone with experience as vice.

Yeh, because having even one more party with any say in our government is anarchy.

That's meaningless, see Bush\Cheany for an example. Experience aside, Obama has should nothing to suggest any change will come with his potential presidency anymore then McCain. McCain is exceedingly qualified based on his contributions to this country alone and Obama, while not very clever himself can deliver a well written speech with charisma and charm rivaled only by Clinton in recent memory.

I was being sarcastic...You implied that it was anarchy, hence my response.
