It is a crime that only Republicans and Democrats are mentioned instead of Greens and Libertarians. The only positive aspect of John Mc Cain, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama is that they have all of the facilities to run for President of the Unied States of America but the Election of 2008 has more negative potential. Let us talk about each one.

John Mc Cain refuses to release his medical records to the public. John Mc Cain also talks about saying no to Gay Marriage and then declares himself in favour of it like most typical politicians. John Mc Cain also talks about his clean life but had a mistress with a lobbyist. We talk about Spitzer but refuses to discuss about Mc Cain's problem. To be President of the United States, a person has to be born in the United States and the Panama Canal Zone was never considered territory of the United States of America.

Hillary Clinton had at least a Health Care proposal which allows the people of the USA to keep their insurance or find another insurance programme which resembles that utilized by Members of Congress. I have yet to find something similar from John Mc Cain and Barack Obama.

Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton may have good intentions but their intentions have been overshadowed by the bitter acrimony between both of them in which their supporters are insulting each other and making each others lives miserable. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton [as well as Geraldine Ferraro] have contributed to the polarization of society in the United States with their racist and intolerant remarks. At the present time, people are hating each other secondary to race and ethnicity. I remember one incident in a hospital where an African American Nurse who was promoting African American Nurses especially those who support Obama while White Anglo American and Latin Nurses [even Latin Nurses born in the United States of America] are demoted or receive a negative marks.

The fights between Republicans and Democrats on the basis of race, creed, colour, and ethnicity have turned off many people to the electoral process and others could care less. I actually support the Libertarians since the Libertarian Party supports responsibility, a sane economy, and privatization of the United States Government. The Republicans and Democrats should take into account that they are a business and their business is to attract voters and make people miserable in the process. I hope one day to see the Libertarians and the Greens replace the Republicans and Democrats since the Libertarians and Greens make sense.
