Obama is now more of a lame duck after the mid terms than he has been this year.
A totally inept leader thats done nothing at all for the USA
The American people have spoken and Obama is the loser
Lets see how many of his inept policies get through both houses now......

So AZ, I'm not talking about having to vote, I'm talking about who what and why. And your telling me every 18 year old is interested in politics to really understand everything about who and why their voting, and that goes for the elderly as well. I'm just having a hard time believing 18 year olds are that interested in politics.
My point is just because you "have" to vote doesn't mean there's knowledge behind the vote.
I can only speak about those I know, my 14 yo niece is informed about who what and why but can't vote yet. The 18 yo knows probably more than me about the political parties.
I think to vote, you kind of need to know who what and wy to be able to fill out the forms.

I think that most everyone thought they only had the two choices. In my opinion, Obama is a better choice than Romney, in the same way a cold might be prefrable to the flu. Did they even know about Ron Paul, or Gary Johnson when Paul didn't get the nomination thrugh fruad? The news goes out of their way to ignore the better choices for president in efforts to keep them unknown. Since the news is globalists run, they only tell you about the globalist's picks.
If by some mircacle Jesse Ventura gets 50 state ballot access and in the debates for the 2016 election,, there will be no stopping him from winning by a landslide. He will burry a globalist puppet in a debate. It might be fun to see him go head to head with someone like Bush or Obama. His book about the party system scam (rebloodlicans and democrips) alone would be all he would need to quote from.
Hope this doesn't venture too far off topic, but I was excited when I saw Ron Paul running for President. His policies were some of the best I've heard in years. (Reduce government, audit the fed, wind down the wars O/S etc) Maybe this topic requires another thread but Joanie, can you elaborate as to what happened to his campaign? It's like one minute he was there, then the next he was gone...

I think you are looking for a disagreement and I am just saying what I know.
I know zip about the US and it's voting etc but I do know how it's done here. My family, friends, neighbours etc all seem to have a good grasp of what it is about, the who what and why's. It is taught in schools, too.
