Scoundrel is such a kind word for describing politicians. I’m not one to really dig deep and label politicians for what they truly are, in terms of adjectives, if I were the expletives would be many and vulgar.
One word I might label myself with, as a registered Republican, is embarrassed.
You see I had thought GW Bush was a fairly lame offering as a candidate but he was up against the moron Al Gore and then the lazy good for nothing John Kerry. Today, running against Barack Obama, it is very difficult as he appears to be the lesser of the two evils.
Example: a vote for Mitt is a vote for elitist rich white folks?
So for the first time in my life I’ll be voting for someone other than the major party candidates. Gary Johnson and Jill Stein, while not well funded, are both refreshing in their intelligence and their proximity to me in the social economic strata.
Gary Johnson – I liked him from the beginning but he could not get any traction because he didn’t pander to the extremists of the party.
I am voting for Gary Johnson too…
We voted in the Republican primaries, not sure what my registration says I am, there isn’t a description or place for that on the I.D. card..
I took an on-line questionaire that matches you with candidates based on your answers about all kinds of things from social issues to global issues – Mine said Gary Johnson and Ron Paul would be my ideal ticket… Obama beat Mitt & Mutt in the line-up… and it was not surprising to me…
I am white and our income is in the top 10% – and I don’t want ” an elitist rich white guy” like Mitt either.

And they ALL pander to it. I wish they would just keep it out of the discussion.
