Thanks for summing me up, Inso!

Now I don't have to write the post, since Inso wrote it for me.

He has also slipped up nunerous times on his personal religon. He claims to be Christian, but on multiple occassions he talks about his faith being Muslim...So, which is it?!?!

Both of them (McCain/Obama) are idiots, and I do wish there was an independant to vote on that was worth a shit.

Yep- honestly, the only candidate both sides had to offer this entire cycle I respected was Ron Paul... just because hes the only one who I knew where he stood. The rest are so f'ing squishy on all issues you really have no idea where they stand. Every day they both slip on their own words...

I'm still trying to see the puppet strings that are used to make McCains limbs move. Special effects now a days are amazing. I do like McCains familiarity with curse words. Nothing says president like horse shit.

As for Palin...she speaks for her self.

He said horseshit....who cares? Do you really think a president sits in a vacuum and does nothing but think of the United States and is Jesus reincarnate so he would never say a curse word or think a bad thought if he saw a big ole pair of tittys and a ass in tight jeans?

I'm just sick of everyone that holds their politicians and sports figures to standards that they can't even commit their lives to.

On the old forums myself and Jess used to run we had a no politics/religion clause as it usually ends in arguements but to be fair, there were usually a lot of resultant laughs :p

Um...outragous claims....hmmm

Inso, I like ya bro...but do some investigation on how Obama got his credentials for yourself. I have, and ALOT of things do not add up. I am not saying he would make a bad president someday....but I am saying he needs to come clean on ALOT of questions that have been presented towards him that he evades every chance he gets. What does he have to hide?

And on the thought of either of these men in power. I'm scared, I'm really God Damn scared.

On one hand you have Mc Cain that up to about 2 years ago was someone that played by his own rules and did what he needed to do, but was probably sat down and told if you want to be president you will have to do this this and this and thats horseshit as well. Probably why he picked Palin was to ruffle the feathers of all those fuckers that did that. The man is a war hero and has a long history that we as Americans can look at and see what we will be getting. Good or bad I like being able to see what someone has done through out their life time so I can decide.

Obama has really no history and has never had to make a real stand or even have anything we as Americans can look at to a track record. What I have seen from him is a bigoted Preacher that he wrote a book about how much he admired. A trival track record as a Senator with less experience that Palin does. He is well spoken and well educated, has all the balls of a casturated goat.

I don't want either one of them and there is no lesser evil amoung the two and we have no other options I'll flip a coin and vote.

Now, normally I say my thing and get out of political conversations because they always leave a bad taste in my mouth.

You can't be serious.

I'm amazed how awful this propaganda is on both sides. I have to go to snopes.com after everything I hear, and most times it's totally not true. I used to think people that were voting along party lines without any research were totally ridiculous. Now, I'm not so sure. Whatever opinion these two candidates had has been superseded by their respective parties. I do think with a democratic majority, we'll get more stuff done than with a republican president and democratic majority.

I would really like a list each candidate's proposed cabinet members and have them debate issues pertaining to their area of expertise. I would also like to know potential supreme court appointments. Foreign policy is a good area for the candidates to debate. That and budget. Otherwise, I consider whatever each candidate has to say kind of useless.

Once again, I live in a state with a decided outcome, so there is little reason to cast a vote. Maybe I should move to Ohio or Florida, where my vote makes a difference!

Agreed! You will find very few Texans who are willing to claim Bush as our own, both McCain and Obama supporters.

I agree completely....

Anyone who is completely for either one of these candidates should really wake up because you have been brain washed into thinking they will be a great president.

Howard Stern did a street interview of 10 African Americans asking them who they would vote for...90% (so 9 out of 10) were voting for Obama. When asked why? They answered, because they want to see a black president....After getting this answer, he read them 10 quotes from both Obama and McCain on their views of various things. After these 10 quotes 7 of the 10 agreed with what McCain had to say, yet they were still going to vote for Obama....Very sad to live in a country where people will vote on someone even AFTER they agree with the political views of the other person.

Oh, and I went to Obama's own website to view his voting record. I only went back from 10-08-2008 to 12-7-2007, and this is what I found....

Total chances to vote - 243
Times not voting at all - 166 (68.3%)
Times voting no - 28 (11.5%)
Times voting yes - 49 (20.2%)
Percent of chances to vote where he actually voted - 31.7%

You can check it out for yourself at http://obama.senate.gov/votes/

I am not by ANY means saying vote for McCain....BUT...for those of you that have made posts saying you will have words with anyone going against Obama....Check him out a little further before speaking please....

I live in Illinois, and all I hear is Obama..Obama...Obama. Since he was elected to the Senate, he is on the news every single night. So I have heard it all. Lons is right though, his experience SHOULD be questioned...Just like Palins'.
