I haven't heard a single mention (not that I'm listening at all :) from either side about curbing the power of corporations. The corporations are already wielding more power than the government, and are rampantly bleeding the government dry as we speak. It's a strange coincidence that the extreme right and the communist theory agree that the government should die off eventually. It's the plan of the right to do it right away, with privatizing, outsourcing and defunding, that's went so far already that the federal government does probably less than half of what it used to do - the rest is left to subcontractors, on the pretext that they are more efficient, ergo cheaper, than the bureaucracy. Except they are not, they cost many times more, but the propaganda skips that, unless it's only to label any mention of the fact as propaganda.

That's pretty much what I meant by no good choice. I agree with Obama on some of the issues and I agree with McCain on some. I strongly disagree with both on some of their issues as well. It is a conunumdrum.

I'm not sure that working towards eroding coporate power would be a good idea during the election. Afterall, if either party did that, where would they get their money to run from? Even Obama took money from Exxon, Chevron, and BP...

“Through June, Exxon employees have given Obama $42,100 to McCain’s $35,166. Chevron favors Obama $35,157 to $28,500, and Obama edges out McCain with BP $16,046 vs. $11,500.”

but the big differenc here is that in most cases, Obama's came from the individuals which suggests an individual choice whereas McCain's came from the PAC. However, the PAC is hedging its bets by giving to both...
