Bull crap, these Super Pacs take in money secretly all year long then on one day they have to disclose the donor info, just so happens to be after the elections too.  View

here comes your bump in the economy right before elections... hope everyone purchased a home to sell in about 2-3 years  View

Lol, leadership eh? What is the house leadership doing? Oh right, fighting tooth and nail to block everything Obama and the Dems want to pass and running a non-stop campaign (even when no elections are near) of spin and blame. Last I checked, getting anything done required both chambers of congress and the president. I guess they feel it's Obama's fault that he can't lead them to break from their lockstep ideological stance.  View

The elitist control everything in our society, even the elections.  View

*sigh* Another entry in the Newsy pro-Paul bias column. Can't you focus on the REAL frontrunner in this race, Mitt Romney? Mitt's been kicking butt and taking names in all the elections and polls so far, but you just want to push your radical Randian agenda on your consumers. Romney/Pelosi 2012!  View

U.S elections has always been a shame, Ron Paul is, in my opinion, leading this election but poses a great threat to the illuminati elitists through his foreign policy propositions.  View

Blame obama. Seems to be all people do. Forget the previous regimes record? To far back to remember for most I guess. How about blaming the voters. The small percentage that actually vote and the ones who do not. They tolerate rigged us elections. A system fed by money from the lobbyists. Controlled by the rich, corporations and military interests. a corporate media filled with opinion and conjecture designed to coherce a gullible,complacent and ignorant public who don't care about anybody but their own selfish wants and desires. Average american. You are an endangered species. Welcome to the land of the 1%. God bless america indeed.  View

If he lies about his past, it certainly doesn't reflect well on his ability to speak the truth to his constituents. But as @georgiagonder says, only politicians with rags-to-riches, compelling pasts win elections. You'd hope the best candidate, regardless of how exciting his or her past, would win the office. But charisma and narrative play an important role in any election.  View

It's funny how the last guy too comment before I did said "republicans won't elect a black American for president" I think we will if hes better than the others I think he can be president he sure will have my vote. Everybody at my school during elections said "go Obama!" I asked them why? They answered bcuz he's black They didnt care that his policies would screw us over they jus cared bcuz he was black if that's not brainwashing idk wat is. I'm not votin bcuz he's black I'm voting bcuz he's obviously smart educated person not an idiot like barrack obama  View

Obama was elected by people who thought he was far more progressive than he actually is. By challenging Obama to be ACTUALLY progressive (rather than Bush-lite, or Bush-heavy in some cases) then it will energize more of his voter base and attract people to the polls who have been turned off by his conservative ways since in office (which is why the 2010 elections went so overwhelmingly for conservatives- the Dems stayed home because Obama let them down). If Obama started pushing a truly progressive agenda, and did so from the time he was elected, he'd have enthusiastic support. Fact is he doesn't. If pushed to the left then he will.  View
