Do you get depressed when you see the candidates running for president?

Question

I do, i feel like they are all two face and just telling me what i want to hear. I especially hate when they dodge questions and feel we wont care that they are not answering question on an issue like abortion or immigration.

Thats what im talking about. We really have a two party system with a limited amount of candidates determined by a minute amount of people who decide for the whole country. and then you got the majority of the population who just follows there party line and votes for whover there party puts up there. and that doesnt give a third party candidate any chance. Or even a candidate whos a dem or rep who has opposing views, if he doesnt follow the partys platform he wont make it past the primarys.

Answer 1

Actually, you kind of hit the nail on the head. I'm not excited about any of them.

Usually I vote dem, but I'm very capable of voting either direction as needed, and I don't see much on either side.

America has around 300,000,000 people, and these are our choices?

Answer 2

No. What depresses me is that only half of eligible voters in the U.S. are registered to vote. What also depresses me is the belief that the people elect the President. They don't They participate in a Presidential Preference Election in November and pray that the Electoral College election in December votes the same way. But, in 26 of the states, the members of their Electoral College delegation are under no legal obligation to do so. I'm also deeply depressed by the major parties using the primary process to select their front runner. It's becoming more and more like "American Idol" every four years.

Answer 3

I was totally depressed before I knew that Ron Paul was running for President.
Once I heard he was running I was elated, to say the least.
Why?
Because I have been following his writings for over 20 years and have an economics book written by him.
Here are his views:

of Dr. Ron Paul:

Supports:

• Constitutional Republic & National Sovereignty
• Non Intervention Foreign policy
• Protect personal liberty and privacy
• Ron Paul's House Health Freedom Protection Bill (Your right for access to Dietary Supplements)

Against:

Only congressman that Voted against Iraq war 1 & 2
Only congressman that Voted against the Patriot Act 1 & 2
Voted against regulating the Internet
Will stop the North American Union and loss of US Sovereignty
Voted against the Real ID Act.
Stop the national ID card system
Stop special interests from violating property rights

A few of the first things he will do as president.

• Bring all of our troops home and stop policing the world and secure our borders.
• Shut down the Illegal Federal Reserve (Only candidate to ever say this, ever)
• Shut down the Illegal IRS (Only candidate to ever say this, ever)
• End our participation in Globalist organizations UN, NAFTA, GATT, WTO, ICC and CAFTA

Misc.

* He has never voted to raise taxes.
* He has never voted for an unbalanced budget.
* He has never voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership.
* He has never voted to raise congressional pay.
* He has never taken a government-paid junket.
* He has never voted to increase the power of the executive branch.
* He returns a portion of his annual congressional office budget to the U.S. treasury every year.

*** Unlike the other Democrat & Republican candidates he is not part of the New World Order or any globalist organizations such as The Bilderberg Group, Council on Foreign Relations or the Trilateral Commission. (Please google if you are currently not aware of these organizations and their agenda).
