Mr Pelland,

I appreciate your taking the time for the Obama educational stump speech. I commend you for your tenacity in your defense of Obama--you have every right to do so, and I don't hold any hard feelings against you for your views. But lets get something straight because it's a long time until November. It wouldn't matter to me if Obama stood up and promised 6-figure salaries for every teacher in America and abolition of all standards based testing...I would not vote for him. He has misled his supporters about his upbringing, his schooling, and he has sugar coated his religious views to the point that I don't trust him. His "vision" for America is a pipe dream. His tactics of talking about hope and change are great--but he cannot deliver. That being said, I'm certainly not a supporter of McCain--there were at least 3 GOP candidates that I would have voted for over him. I'm just stuck with him.

You can do it for the other readers, but in the future, you will not need to respond to me personally to defend or support Obama. My mind is made up. The regular readers of this forum know where you stand.

The only real candidate for change in America will be a candidate who refuses to prostitute themselves out to one of the two political parties. And with the current system, the Democrats and Republicans have made it virtually impossible for that to happen. Both parties know that they are very susceptible to major defeat if a serious 3rd party candidate emerges, so they have written the rules and manipulated the media to a point where that just simply can't occur.

America is in trouble--I think a lot of us would agree with that. But this election won't even begin to fix it. America needs a Presidential race between two or three people that appeal to a wide variety of folks--sadly we are forced to vote for the lesser of two evils.
