Back to the topic.

2 news items today:

1. McCain suspends his campaign to ostensibly focus on the financial meltdown that Bush wants solved really quickly.

My analysis: pure grandstanding on McCain's part. How idiotic. His campaign pumps money back into a faltering economy. Suspending it sends the wrong signal. And Bush's eagerness to wrap the matter up before the warts are exposed is just more of the covert crap for which his administration is infamous. Vet the debacle thoroughly, and put safeguards in place TO KEEP IT FROM HAPPENING AGAIN.

2. Obama/Biden were found to have supported the idiotic "bridge to nowhere" that is also tripping up Sarah Palin.

My analysis: pure hypocrisy on their part, just like Obama's flimsy reasoning for voting for a war he doesn't agree with.

I'm tired of candidates' words not matching their actions. I'm tired of the top 2 parties getting elected despite (or because of) spin and malfeasance. I'm tired of dinosaurs like Ted Kennedy who won't step aside for new blood.

Vote for an alternative. Those guys are trying harder and have more integrity. Your vote is only really wasted if you keep supporting the same tired old insanity instead of using it for real change.
