3rd Party

I am well aware of that, but that doesn't mean he stopped being known as an actor which means just as much as actually being one. Arnold Schwarzenegger was the Governor of California, yet he can go into a public place without hearing a reference to the Terminator or Predator.

I wonder if when he leaves his house, he says to his family. "I'll be back."

Well off course people know a president's back round before electing him.

Sometimes not all of it... I'm looking at you Mitt.

Actually according to one far right news outlet I read Mitt is an illegal immigrant from Mexico.

That is a really out there belief only due to his father being born in Mexico. I was focusing more on his tax records, history at Baine, etc

Presidencial elections tend to have the highest turnout rate in the US. In the 2008 election, the US saw a little more than 50% of the population vote. On everything else, it is much less.
From what I can see, it appears that the US population simply doesn't have confidence in their system, therefore, they don't vote.
It isn't like there aren't reasons to lower voter moral, the infighting between the Republicans being one of them.

i don't know who any of those people are, nor do i care. its almost impossible for a 3rd party to win against the GOP and the Democrats. side note: after California, i don't think we should elect actors/ actresses into any political offices
