They aren't elected by ghosts, Americans have the opportunity to pick someone else but if they don't, so what?

What's in a name? OK there is disgrace in the Bush name but not Clinton.

1. Isn't it true though that the final say of who becomes president is not done by the people regardles
of the amount of votes they receive?

8. at the very least the Bushes won their primaries and probably both Clintons will win theirs
There's no reason to hold someone's name against them is the point, at least just because someone else in their family served before

2. Americans don't have the opportunity to pick someone else.
All we have is what the corporate-owned media lets us see. And all we see are candidates who are beholden to big business.

4. And all we have is big business
That's why I am voting for DK, who stood up to big business back in the day even if his time as mayor was a tumultuous one.

GO DK GO!

5. The whole dynasty argument
is a non-issue with me. If she gets the nom, I'll happily vote for her. I think she'd do a great job.

6. So you think that all the votes are counted fairly?
and that all Americans are informed on the facts and choose who to vote for based on reason and logic without any undue outside influence?

7. I'm thinking Sen. Clinton might want to retake her maiden name.
