Yes, that's certainly true (though Obama looks rather distinguished to me), but you'd find similar sentiments expressed in most of the genuine democracies around the world, about the choices before the electorates.
Japan and Italy, in particular stand out in this regard. Fukuda and Berlesconi seem to be, respectively, a nonentity and a rogue!
I wonder if there are any academic studies on why this seems to be so widespread.

Here's one. This was written about America, but its basic principles have been borne out in all democracies.

WOW there is 11 attempts to sink this. I think you are gett under someones skin. Look, how long can you lie to people before they realize that you are. I am just shocked that it took these guys this long to realize this fact about the GOPers.

This doesn't bode well for McCain at all. Nope. My guess is that a lot of Republicans who were thoroughly disillusioned, duped, and basically repeatedly lied to by Bush are going to stay home and chill out on the barcalounger on election day. And who could blame them, really? The party had control of all three branches of government for 6 years and what do they have to show for it? Extreme and disgraceful failure everywhere you turn. It's like they can't even turn on the TV without being reminded that what they got for their loyalty to Bush, Cheney and Big Oil are record national debt, $4 gas, $4 milk, incompetence, corruption, lies, destruction of the planet, and the disgust and disdain from the international community. Cosmic failure beyond all comprehension. McCain will be lucky to get a quarter of the vote Bush got in his second term. Oh well...

libsRfunny,
I usually don't call people out for negative votes--it's your prerogative.
But why would you neg my comment that included a link to the full text of Tocqueville's "Democracy in America," which is still taught today in most high-school history classes as one of the most incisive analyses of the pros and cons of democracy?
Is it simply too long for you to read?

Beau7890 - He does that to anyone that doesn't agree with his way of thinking, He will neg anything I post, if even it says god is good! I will make a post that gets 50 pos and one neg, however, this is how you know you are on point because he only does that to those who's makes sense. It's just stupid because he doesen't like McCain!

Id hesitate a guess to say the figures being presented are the ones who can be manipulated by the real powers that be. If you look at the REPUBLICAN candidates since RayGun they have fallen into the senile, althzhiemer, idiot category (with possibly the exception of Bush I who is a string puller). They can easily be manipulated by the men behind the curtain.

dumbkirk,
You know I am amazed with reality. I wake up every morning and know that anything I want to accomplish I can if I want it bad enough and willing to work for it.
You on the other hand wake up everyday and see nothing but negative. I really feel sorry for you.
