Voting Is Irrelevant
Over 20 minutes of the presidential debate has gone by with McCain and Obama arguing over 932 million dollars in earmarks that McCain claims Obama approved.
Meanwhile, based on the chatter on CNN I heard today, the 700 billon dollar bailout will be wrapped up and done by Sunday.
This confirms what I've tenatively concluded for some time. Our democratic system has become a hollowed-out facade for the corporate-military putocracy that owns and runs this country. Voting is irrelevant. It changes the names of the pawns, nothing more.

It seems they simply switch party control every so often to keep Americans believing in the illusion of democracy. This is a sad state of affairs truly.
