i have attended city hall meetings, yes.

i make no excuses, i am not an avid voter. i do not know of all positions on the ticket, i also dont give a shit. but i'm certainly not talking down to others based on the fact that they may not either.

Seriously! The reason I question that is that you have this idealized view that you will be familiar with the candiates in each race. Most of the experienced voters that I know readily admit that nearly everytime they have voted that there has been at least one race where they really had no basis for making an informed decision. Due to the nature of some of these races it is almost inevitable.

this is true, however I feel that Mc/Pa are more inline with my core values, I also like the fact that she is not form DC, and is closer to the typical middle class family. I also like the fact that she has a special needs child, I like the fact that He has actually been in the military, and he will cross party lines. I think we need to drill and screw the spotted owl. I think we need smaller government, let the free market figure it out. the government is notorious for being inefficient. (SS for example). I could go on and on.

God it's killling me... I'm in the same boat where I don't want to have to choose between a douche and a turd sandwich, thus I shouldn't vote. But it almost seems Un-American to not do it.

There is now way that I will vote Obama but I don't know if I can vote for an upper 70ish man with a 45 year old alaskan cougar on the ticket for president. I just can't see Palin running this country.

does voting 3rd party not run across anyones mind? or are you unhappy with those candidates as well?

if you think obama and mccain are douches, but you feel unamerican to not vote, why limit yourself to only those parties? there are other candidates out there, they just dont get any air time from fox and cnn. id rather vote third party knowing my vote wont do shit, and feel good that i voted for who i actually wanted, rather than just waste my vote completely, or vote for a specific party based on their general points of view on things

i'm sorry. its not that i hate mccain. but anyone that sides with palin or identifies with her religious views is a ****ing wack job. why would you want that naive bitch running the country?

Do you not realize that we are in the middle of an energy crisis? I can't believe that you would encourage people to waste our resoursces to drive down to the polling station and vote for a candidate who has absolutely no chance at winning.

YOU, George, have fvcked up this country.

I don't get why you don't fully support Obama? I don't believe it's race, so what is it?
