Too early anyway. Let's see a couple of debates first.

The debates should be interesting.

Dont need debates. Everybody knows who to vote for.

You mean dog and pony show? They aren't debates by any stretch. It's just a way of seeing who can avoid f'n up the least and looking less stupid - rather than show the qualities that makes a great leader or statesman for our country. Shame, really, since the commission that makes the rules for them essentially keep 3rd party candidates out (since the commission is headed by Reps/Dems). We might have discourse with a 3rd party, and the Libertarian Party has a strong candidate this time around.

The powers that be brainwashed us into 2 groups without analytical thinking skills a long time ago

United states its democrat/republican, uk its labour/conservatives

We get 50 choices for miss america and only 2 scumbag choices for president, both of which continue awful wars and deficit spending

They can debate unimportant bullshit all they want, and the country still goes morally and financially bankrupt killing, torturing, and raping people halfway around the world that have done nothing wrong

Agree, I think regardless or whether or not Romney or Obama wins, or whether the dems or reps control congress, nothing is going to change. If Romney wins and Republicans take both chambers, I can see the GOP going on a spending binge. GOP establishment is only opposed to big spending when the dems do it, not because they are opposed to deficits/spending but because they want to control the purse strings and control the flow of money to their preferred groups/special interests instead of the dem's. GOP establishment wants nothing more than to control the purse strings, fat chance they would ever agree to actually cut spending in a meaningful way.

Neither party is serious about cutting spending because its ridiculous spending that keeps both parties in power. Greasing the palms of their preferred groups/people/special interests is how they get votes.
