Election 2008

The short story is, all the candidates suck.
That includes VPs, too.
With the exception of Nader, of course.
DISCLAIMER: I will spend the next eh, ten minutes explicating exactly what I have wrong with them.
Let it begin.
First up, Obama. He can talk, for sure, but I always get the impression he doesn't know what he's talking about. He has no experience, and I don't trust him running the country after being in the Senate for a measly 4 years, is it?
His whole campaign is based around change. I call BS. I feel like Obama should only base his campaign around change if he really plans to make drastic changes. And since when did people want drastic change? No doubt, even McCain will bring change in the two years he'll live in office.
Plus, I find his plan on the economy sketchy, at best. When he indicates that he will cut income taxes for middle-class peoples, I will bet four years of my life that that plan also includes higher sales and property taxes, as well as the same, if not higher, taxes for lower-class Americans.
In general, his plan for the economy seems to involved mass amounts of money that seem to come from nowhere. Plus, Americans with a high salary work for that salary, so personally I don't see why they should be taxed more just because they took the time to educate themselves and receive a better job.
Next, McCain.
He supports troops in Iraq. Automatic turnoff for me. Who still supports troops in Iraq? the figures say very few. There are also a similar number of people who are not OK in the head.
Plus, he has the physique of an 80-year-old man, which would be pretty accurate considering his age.
Another topic that I personally have strong beliefs in is energy, and McCain just doesn't cut it. He supports domestic sources of oil. This means Alaska, and I would be willing to bet four years of my life on it--after all, his VP is from Alaska. Supporting domestic oil means Arctic Oil spills, animal poisoning, and possible decimation of sea otter, artic fox, and caribou species.
Also, he wants to build 45 nuclear power plants. That ticks me off. On average, a power plant produces 2.2 tons of radioactive waste every year. That radioactive waste cannot have energy extracted from it. That's 99 TONS of radioactivity a year. Where does all that go?
Nevada, of course.

VPs
Palin seems a little cooky in the head to me. She doesn't really seem to have the best memory of all, and I don't feel America is ready to have her leading in two years. Plus, she's only on the ticket because she's a woman, and she's from Alaska.
Don't get me started on Biden. I saw him in DC, debating. No further comments.

Nader
Nader is awesome. Whoever can run as a third-party candidate for--what, like five elections?--and still be alive deserves a hand of applause.

Plus, it's not like I can vote, anyways.

Flipping to the Colbert Report,
