The GOP and John McCain's campaign are now using robocalls. The call begins: "Hello. I'm calling for John McCain and the RNC," before telling recipients that they "need to know that Barack Obama has worked closely with domestic...

travelinjon Any phone call that is insolicited or not from family and friends should be illegal in my mind. When it comes to campaigns for president don't they innundate us with enough propaganda anyway do they need to robocall us. Now if one wanted to call me personally...

travelinjon I applaud the effort and the sentiment. I also feel that no matter who wins we're going to be on the short, sticky end of the stick. I do hope that we can affect some positive change at least on the local level.

Now THIS is how the debates should have been held. I watched the Alfred E Smith dinner last night. Traditionally, during an election year, both candidates are invited to speak and traditionally they roast each other and themselves...

travelinjon Its good to see the lighter side of politics again. This event did more to put a human face on the candidates than all three debates and most of the campaigns have managed to do in all these months. In trying time humor is often an aid I would love to see...

travelinjon I'll start with the classic quote. If you don't vote you can't complain. It sounds like you have an interest and I think you should expand that interest to action and the easiest political action is voting. Take the pluge into democracy you might like it and...

What ever excuse a person uses for not voting is merely a statement about what they consider more important than their right to vote.

travelinjon Would you consider disatisfaction a good reason. No matter who is in charge it seems to be more of the same. what about those who can't get to a polling station due to age, infirmity or because they work 12 hour days?

travelinjon Quick question. How many national elections has Canada had in the last couple of years. I realize the process is different there. Also wasn't this a really brief campaign season?

travelinjon Soon, all to soon. The lazy person in me loves the idea of having robots around to do so many things i just don't want to do. The utopian in me sees a world where we no longer have to rely on people to do the unpleasent tasks and we can become more...
