I don't think anyone believes that any candidate from any party is going to be able to do everything they say they want to. Especially in this election. Unfortunately most people are stupid and the election is a big exercise in marketing and neither candidate believes people can handle the whole truth or wants to lose the race by telling it to them during their campaign.
I made my decision based on a lot of different factors. The candidates positions on major issues, but also watching how they reacted to the financial crisis and how they have run their campaigns. I can see who reacts calmly and consults with experts and makes a deliberative and rational response and who reacts flippantly based on emotion and "gut instinct" and I know which shows more wisdom and consciousness.
Right because asking American people to participate in the political process and their own government is wrong?? Another reason I am a firm believer that if you do not vote you cannot complain.
