Heres a question: How does one know that a Presidential Candidate is the "Right one" for the job without the use of hindsight after already making the choice? We already know that they all lie, cheat, and steal things.

Yes, but in some circles it's almost considered intellectually fashionable to complain about it with regards to the Bush administration.
"Hey guys, check out my wicked invention! I got the idea from a newspaper snippet on Bush." "It's a wheel." "Aha! Yes, but I've RE-invented it. Watch. Blablablabushbadgrrrrrr." When you vote for anyone, you go in blind. History makes the judgments.

Hindsight is 20/20. Here is an interesting article. Look at the rankings of Clinton and Bush. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidential_rankings

why do all of you even bother wasting the time to talk about the current situation, we all know that it sucks. talking will not help anything except to further fuel debates. besides look at it this way, bush cant be re-elected as president.
