We don't have to put up with it...

Election 2004

Voting Age Population: 215,694,000

Turnout: 122,295,345

Turnout of Voting Age Population: 56.69%
-------------------------------------------------------

As an example, say that the 2008 election voting age population is 217 million, and the turnout is 60%. That would be 130.2 million voting.

Now, assume that a mass of new voters — young people who have had enough of being the scapegoat for the elder generations follies, and tired of the "fiscal child abuse" — decided to vote the Demolicans out, and bring in someone who had more the country's interests in mind.

%.......Million
100.....130.2......Total Voters

31.......40.36......Democrat
28.......36.46......Republican
7.........9.11.......Libertarian
34.......44.27......Independent

Out of the total of 217 million eligible voters, the Independent would need only 20.4%, and 34% of the 130.2 million who voted. It could happen if the electorate really wanted a change...

If Bob Barr or Ralph Nadar were elected, the Democrats and Republicans in Congress would negate their best efforts.

If we truly want to change the political dynamics, we really need to change the composition of Congress first.

It real life hes voting for Obama

Of course Colbert is voting for Obama. What sane, rational & intelligent person isn't?

Even millionaires are voting for Obama.

What the GOP did to the economy is crazy. They even went so far as to hurt millionaires with all their free trade/deregulations.

And then to rob us of $700 billion more right before they leave office?

And try to say it was all Freddy & Fannie?

See gas is under $3? A MONTH before the election? They know you will forget that it was $4.

Real clear difference. If you want $3 gas, vote Obama. Clearly the oil companies were gouging us all this time.

If you want $4 a gallon gas, vote McCain.

Right. Vote Green & Libertarian in your state first and let's see them fix state politics first. If they can't do that in even one state, why should we expect them to be a good national party?

No! "Vote Green & Libertarian in your state" ALSO. NADER for President, and anything but the DEMOLICANS for Congress.

How few people on this board who think you and I communists truly seem to understand that, Sealy.

Don't you find it rather odd that you and I are in fact may be the best defenders of capitialism on this board?

Apparently far too many people here seem to think if you attack ANY CAPITALIST who is cheating every other investor or capitalist, or if you call for regulations to prevent people from cheating, that must mean you hate capitalism, or something.

Trying to explain things to NEO-con supporters is like talking to children, at times.

elitist pseudo-intellectual crap, again.
