This Presidential election is about Washington insiders arguing nuances versus real change in the politic and substance.

This election for President has all the signs of being a battle between the insiders in washington and not aligned to the wishes of the electorate. What do I mean here? Well, take for example the illegal wiretapping of our phones by the Bush Administration without the FISA Court approval. The Senate has passed a Bill to grant immunity from prosecution of the Telephone companies. The House it appears is now willing to pass a similar Bill. That's what the Insiders in Washington, the elected Representatives and Senators are doing. These are the same people who are supposed to be representing the people's business, not the Corporations business nor the Executive Branch's interests. But they lack the guts to do what's really right here.

So the upcoming election between the certain candidacy of Sen. John McCain and say, Hillary Clinton, will be arguing about nuances and defending positions that are not those of the American people. This is looking more and more like an inside the Beltway race and we are all the losers in this, unless we dare to choose Barack Obama for President. If people in Texas, Ohio, and Vermont vote for Barack in overwhelm ing numbers, this might actually turn into a campaign of the insider (John McCain) versus the new ideas and politic of Sen. Barack Obama. Dare they vote putting their country and their self interests first this time. I hope so for all our sake.
