How can we make a difference?

I want to share some of my deeper thoughts on the coming USA election at this most critical time we face as a nation and world:

I'm trying to work out who I want to back in this Presidential race and how to go about it. I'm very concerned as I've fervent hopes that this Presidential election resolve the critical watershed events of our country's precarious future as a world power (and our retirement and livelihoods). Our collective futures are at stake, so I propose the following:

These two candidates, Billary and Obama, are effectively negating Democrats chances of winning the Presidency. Therefore, one of these two must take up the role for the other as Vice President. Alternatively, Edwards isn't a decent option for various reasons (perhaps he doesn't seem to stir up enough passionate voter interest, but I digress as this could be a debatable point.)

As this $3 Trillion war in Afghanistan/Iraq/Pakistan drains the resources of our country (already now more expensive than the 10 yrs of Vietnam War), it is CRITICAL that we remove ourselves as effectively and quickly as possible. I understand from reading McCain's promises and knowing of his nature as a former POW and military man with war-hero family...read HAWK), he probably won't do this task. His policy statements commit the military to "staying the course" for far more than the next 10 yrs. So my thought is that the Democrats MUST win! That means the Democrats unifying behind one candidate as quickly as possible.

So should we rally behind one of them and get behind a letter-writing campaign for one of these candidates to be VP? Or will we let both of their egos prevent a Democratic win? While they attack one another, they've already turned the campaign dangerously negative -- further feeding/strengthening the weak McCain's candidacy. McCain has made conservative Republican run toward Huckabee (Yikes) for a kindred spirit. This is a strategically good time for Democrats to rally behind a single candidate.

Must we watch another Democratic meltdown? Can we allow them to shoot themselves in the foot again? Can we continue to watch American (and Iraqi) lives and fortunes be wasted for the sake of...what? Arrogance?

Presidential debates will happen soon enough..and employment/economy discussions are absurdist arguments as the biggest drag on our economy is this war. Shouldn't we be dedicating our financial might to fighting global warming and finding alternative energy sources and moving closer to energy sufficiency? We need to become less dependent on the petrol reserves of foreign powers (who hate us). They're the ones trying to destroy our way of life. Why must we enrich them because we're too unfocused, apathetic or too damned lazy to find alternative energy?

Why can't our Presidential candidate sincerely work towards finding solutions to THESE problems and stop being selfish and egotistical or feeding their inferior political opponents?

Must the Democrats lose this (even more critical) election again?
