I don't know about voting strictly based on race. I really don't see many differences between Obama and the traditional White Democratic candidate. I think a lot of people need to remember Barack is HALF-black and was raised by his White mother.
I agree voting is very important but I do struggle with it. Inside me I tend to believe voting in an unjust system does nothing to change it, only to take part and perpetuate it. So I highly doubt I will be voting in the upcoming election.
Ron Paul, those videos reminded me and I did know who he was. I do like him and he definitely seems like a candidate who speaks with integrity. However, he's as much a longshot as Gravel. We really do need more Americans getting involved before its narrowed down to 2 candidates for the nominations.
Does anyone else think its a bit corrupt to see usually the candidates with the most money make it farther, meaning they're making the most promises to big business for campaign money.
I hope everyone in this thread has seen Syriana, I know its a movie but I think it is one of the most important and informative films in years...
