text: why are american so worried about the 2008 presidential elections? why are american so worried about the 2008 presidential elections? when we still have 2 more years of a retard running the usa? how are the middle and lower classes sure to make under his so called leadership? this is a time for those who are looking for leadership other than the kind we currently have to be working towards electing a government that works for all people.  i am working on a campaign for a candidate that is running for attorney general in my state.  he is one of bush's cronies. atty general in my state is such a powerful position that things can literally change overnight if the right person is elected.  that reason among many others is why i have chosen to be a part of that campaign.  i know what you mean about the way things are for the middle and lower class.  i was making over 60k plus benefits and bonus in 2000 and now make less than 20k with no medical benefits. my lifestyle has had to change drastically and my quality of life has taken a nosedive literally.  i hate living this way so i am committed to making a change in 2006 and 2008.  keep in mind that 2006 is just as important as 2008.  if we dont change the congress and the senate we are sunk still.
