THAT ONE Is Gonna Be My President

The third in a series pointing out that there is no intelligence required to be a qualified voter. That some choose to exercise none and we survive is a testimonial to the resilience of the American democracy.

you're right... if you actually want Obama as president then you are surely an idiot!

Thanks for adding your drivel here as well. I figured i'd jump in with my drivel and between your drivel and my drivel we can have a drivel extravaganza! Woo Hoo!!!!!!

Just curious Joel, but are you voting for Obama or voting against McCain? I'm voting against Obama because of his views on abortion and disarming law abiding citizens, plus I think he'll be more divisive than McCain. I have some sister-in-laws who are voting "for" Obama because they think McCain is creepy looking and they think President Bush is an idiot (which in my view are pretty poor reasons to cast a vote one way or the other).

I hear ya Erps... I would say both. You have the same reasoning as my father in law and my nephew... both single issue voters (not implying that you are.) I'm for Obama more than i'm against McCain because i see Obama as the Uniter and McCain as the Divider... i site both Obama's & McCain's behaviour during this campaign for my reasoning. There are a couple things about the old McCain that i liked but the old McCain is long lost and i feel that Obama is the one for me... just my opinion. There are a lot of crappy reasons out there which has become apparent from all the youtube clip we've seen from the political rallys. I wish people would be more proactive about doing there homework.

vague answer but i gotta get home!!

If Obama is elected, I hope you're right about him being a Uniter. That would be refreshing. I also hear you about McCain's recent election strategy. This whole thing has dragged on too long and I'm anxious just to have it over with and of course I'm hoping your guy loses. I don't like seeing both branches of the government held by the same party no matter what party it is.

Obama will be a uniter ...as long as you agree with him. Dissent will be crushed. Just look at their desire to implement the so called Fairness Doctrine. He has no history of crossing the isle to work with the other side. McCain has more of that than any politician of recent history.

Now that is hilarious. McCain has changed little, if at all. Which explains my reticence in voting for him. What has changed is that he's no longer the media darling he once was. Why is that? He was a media darling for the simple reason he was well practiced at sticking it to his own party, specifically in one area that now haunts him; campaign finance reform. The media were never going to love him once he was compared to any Democrat candidate, even such a non-entity as Obama.

What specifically is Obama going to unite us behind or about? I'm just curious because you're making a political decision on a basis I'm wholly unfamiliar with. I've done just a little bit of homework on the candidates and I'm really interested in what Obama stands for, I'm just too obtuse to figure it out. Perhaps you could be of assistance in the matter?

Guy, my assistance to you is that you find everything hilarious. Step out of your closed mind and see a different perspective for a change.
