Don't Americans have to vote though to put someone in power?

It's sad that someone who isn't an American can see clearly that Paul is the only candidate with any real substance, when most Americans are blind to that fact. Besides, it's obvious that the presidency can be bought.

No this went out around 2000 with the Bush/Gore race...
Most Americans with a brain should have learned at that point that those who counts the votes actually decides who wins.. Not those who actually vote...

It should be disclosed, prior to my answer, that I am an employee of the Federal Government. As such, I have absolutely no interest in massively reducing the size of government.
I do wrestle with whether I will vote for Romney or Obama. I really don't know which way I will go at this point. I wasn't sure last time either. Sara Palin helped me make up my mind and I went Obama. I don't have an easy answer on who I will vote for.

Obama Saturday justified the war on Libya by proclaiming that “we cannot stand idly by when a tyrant tells his people that there will be no mercy, and his forces step up their assaults…”
American working people will pay the price for this aggression through redoubled attacks on their living standards, social conditions and basic rights. The cost of the 112 Tomahawk cruise missiles fired in a matter of hours is well over $100 million. The amount of wealth being squandered on the massive deployment of US warplanes and warships is far greater. Not a word is raised about the costs of this operation, under conditions where politicians and the media endlessly declare that the government has no money and schools must be shut down, teachers fired, vital social programs drastically curtailed and the wages, pensions and health coverage of public employees slashed.

But don't you see that Obama, Romney are just puppets? It frightens me that you could say you'd vote for Obama again.
Obama pushed for 'intervention' in Libya, it was one of the most unjust bombing campaigns that has ever been. There is still no proven evidence that Gaddafi was killing his own people, it is a complete lie yet here is Obama-

Ron Paul is at least addressing the problems of Obama and the status quo- US tax payers are paying for murder in these regions, billions of dollars worth of bombs being dropped on Libya- and for what? The official argument is 'humanitarian', yet how can anyone even remotely fall for the idea that dropping bombs saves lives? Seriously, think about it.
Obama is a puppet, as would Romney be, they serve the bankers and elites, and if it carries on, we are next headed to Iran, and it will continue to escalate.
Just listen to the lies and deceit from Obama-
THIS DECEIT HAS TO STOP! The number of lies in this video from Obama is unbelievable, he is a war criminal, lying to his people, people wake up NOW! Don't vote for Obama, Romney or any other puppet, for the sake of humanity, vote for Ron Paul and stop these wars of aggression that will never end under puppet presidents!
