  • Obama and McCain have both sold us out. It is clear that the voice of the people falls on the deaf ears of the two candidates who both constantly claim to want to put the government on the side of the people. They are playing all of us for fools.

    The only presidential candidate that is against the bailout is Ralph Nader. He is not a spoiler, he is long-time consumer advocate who wants to help the people of America. He is not owned by the corporations, unlike McCain and Obama.

    This is a critical time in our countries history, and we do indeed need real change. Fortunately, it is not too late. Take a look at votenader.org, read his position on the issues and vote your conscience and not just the "lesser of two evils."
