Except for the little (R) and (D) behind their names, they might as well all be the same candidate! None of these guys are going to put an end to all these wars in the middle east. They are all in the pockets of AIPAC.
What about the candidates that are actually about some real issues, the issues for regular Americans, and are not just going to pick up where Bush leaves off?

Because its not in the best intrest of the big businessess that fund the parties and the canadiates. It all boils down to back room deals made way before the canadiates are even announced. They need funding, and the lobbyists are there, getting them in their pockets. And the big corperations own the media too.

Obama stated he will end the war if elected, and he is not in the pocket of AIPAC. I don't think a lot of Democrats want to continue the war. If that were so, then Pelosi wouldn't have been in the Middle East trying to come up with a solution. I will agree with you on the fact that many times, it doesn't matter if they have a D or R by their name. They seem and talk like a politician.

Maybe you should check out Sen. Biden, he actually has a plan for Iraq that differs from everyone currently in the race right now. He wants to set up a federated Iraq where all parties share in the oil wealth but have their own sections so they are not living right on top of each other. Have you heard the saying that "Familiarity breads contempt?" Most of these Republicans are looking extremely similar which really does worry me. Maybe they are all getting payouts from these contractors in Iraq? Personally, I like Obama too but feel that he would be a good Vice President to gain a little more experience. Who knows, there is alot of time left so I guess we will see what happens.

Actually, it might be a sign of how badly you've let yourself be used. They scream well, but not one of them is impeaching the President, not one of them is taking any serious action at ending the war (they just keep putting out bills designed to slip other things past the President - vote for all of it, Mr. President or YOUR the one refusing the troops money!)
They don't have proof he lied. They just accuse him without trying to prove it.
They don't have cause to end the war. They just blame him no matter what power they have to end it.
They know what's at stake. But they don't mind using you to get more power. They'll turn you against anyone as long they get your vote.
Don't vote for seditious people, and you won't be so disappointed. I've got a democrat in mind, myself, but I don't think he's going to get near the nomination, and I don't vote for those that are socialist or seditious.

Mainstream media is owned by Corporate America, Bush's other sponsor, and runs the media for profit. Bad news does not sell male enhancement products or face cream for women. Our media is for entertainment, not news. Entertainment, and pro corporate candidates will get media support. Anyone who would suggest we should not be killing Iraqis for control over their oil in the future is not going to get positive air time.

Bah! i've been saying this for years. there IS only one party in DC, and it's not two sides of the coin, it's two faces on the same side of the coin. i came under heavy fire in my local community when i asserted that billy clinton was nothing but a stand in stunt man for the raygun-bush contingent. don't get me wrong, i enjoyed the late nineties under billy, and have no problems with his sexual proclivities, indeed, i applaud what turned out to be the greatest period of peace, prosperity, and progess we've had in the last quarter century. however i have yet to change my mind on his political agenda; perhaps his wife is better, she certainly seems more liberal, but i have serious doubts, and there are major issues that have yet to be addressed, honesty being the one that concerns me most.
then i discovered a guy i kinda like. amazing. i could almost get behind this boy. he's brilliant and seems to have a heart. a shame that in right-leaning america he has little chance; probably appears to many in america as hardcore socialist, and perhaps he is. i'd like to invite you to check out his stand on the issues; his name is dennis. http://kucinich.us/

First of all you are using the whole Jewish/Muslim thing by mentioning the AIPAC just a ploy to plug your personal conspiracy theory notions.
However, our only hope is that the Voters will educate themselves before the Primaries, doubtful though.

Obama just said he'd end the war if elected, and I have yet to see anything linking him to AIPAC.
You're right about the rest as far as I can tell.
