As for POWER... of course it is about the power. The power to enact laws and control the direction of a nation. As for power of the people... isn't that what a democracy is about? Electing representatives to do your will? I am not sure how to reconcile those who are on the losing side. It's been 8 long years for many who did not vote for Bush... perhaps it will be the same for those who didn't vote for Obama.

You're assuming Obama is going to win though. Many Dems and liberals have a big problem with "power of the people". How many times do we get insulted here as being "too dumb to vote"? That is the most vile, elitist bullshit spewed here all too often. I am sick of that type of thinking. It's also that type of thinking that exposes liberal people for the frauds they are. They claim to be for the people but would gladly take away our right to vote because we are "too stupid". BULLSHIT!! FUCK THAT!! Who are they to tell us who and how to vote? How rude and condescending!
To answer the OP: Both parties suck ass and are morally bankrupt. Fuck parties, vote the individual. Another way to put it: Dems want to be your mommy and tell you what to do because they don't trust you to be able to do things yourself. Repubs want to be your daddy and tell you what to do but with "tough love" and want to tell you how to live your life.
That's why people like McCain, Obama, Lieberman, Nader, Paul, Kucinich are so refreshing. Because they are not as party oriented as the other idiots in power.
