I'm just curious if there is anyone who reads these posts that hasn't already made up his mind about the candidates.

Actually two questions, I think. First, nothing in these posts will affect my determination about who I'll vote for. Second, I haven't made up my mind 100%, who I will vote for.

you should stay home. You'll likely get lost trying to find the voting booth at the grammar school. Only the truly stupid are still weighing who they will vote for.

I heard a Democrat hack in my city say today that if Obama gets elected he will surround himself with smart people who won't let him do what he wants anyway so, No Problem! Good Democrat thinking.

The contrast has never been so stark. In a time of war to even think about voting for Obama is evidence you should be stripped of your right to vote.

that sounds just like the stupid shit that he says all the time. lol

the posts have no effect on how I will vote.

From what I've read, close to 25% of people polled said that the debates could influence how they voted. I guess I'm in a pretty good crowd. There are many things I like about McCain and many things I like about Obama, and deep concerns I have with both. So sue me!

Actually I'm holding my decision to see whether McCain kicks the bucket, or Obama's birth certificate proves to be fake, before the election.

P.S. 1. I've never lost my way to the voting booth yet. 2. I've served my country with honor and pay my taxes. 3. So, if you try to come to try and strip me of my right to vote you'll get your face kicked in.

but honestly despite liking McCain 8 years ago and liking Obama now, the happenings within the Republican party over the last few months have made the election a slam dunk.

Bush is an idiot, McCain is not.  However, many of Bush's policies were very helpful to the greedy superwealthy and apparently, McCain has been pressured into pursuing a similar agenda.  As bad as that is, I would still be listening were it not for another recent decision - Sarah Palin.

I LOATHE SARAH PALIN.  I find the combination of decisiveness and ignorance horribly frightening in a leader.  Furthermore, she is like the dumb kids in school in that she mocks the intellectuals.  I for one would like the officials whom I elect to be better than I am.

I find McCain's political maneuverings to be an embarrassment to his supporters.  Win at all costs does not work for me.  He's lost my attention, that's worse than losing my vote.

For the occasional lurker that reads the threads, I'm sure that my thoughtful considerate posts have---oh never mind----

Oooooh.  We were going to endorse [fill in republican nominee] but since he has [fill in VP nominee] we just can't endorse him now.  We have to endorse the [fill in dem nominee].

I think it's the NY Time that has pulled that shit for the last 20 years.

That psychological warfare shit is really old but what the heck.

...the use of "shit" and "heck" in the same sentence?

and this old skinny black guy dressed to the nines espensive suit and a barret was right at the table in front of us with an old hot white babe.  Everyone is listening to the jazz players but this fat ugly white lady is going around to all the tables bugging people about buying flowers. And when she went to his table he said "I'll give you a dollar for all of it." and then she said something and then he said "get that shit outa here." and he waived her away.   IT was really awesome.

Mattrad, I assume you know what that is since you are not really going to kick anyone's face in, are you, Tough Guy. LOL. Real tough guys don't tell you what they're going to do before they do it. They let someone else tell afterwards, if there is an afterwards.

What you say is generally true, with at least one exception, telling someone you're going to strip them of their right to vote. As to hyperbole, I have a couple of veteran's groups that I can invite you to, to be the guest speaker, and you can voice the same hyperbole to them. We can see how many of them warn you first before they kick your face in. Some things you just doen't joke about with certain people.

By the way, it's your hyperbole that is the reason I don't read your posts. Just a major waste of time.

Don't read anymore of them either. After this one, of course. LOL

I'm not surprised you don't get it. I can see you at the Post, hitching up your pants, beer in your mustache, stains on your pants, threatening to kick everyone's face in. With your buddies.

Tough Guy.

Clown.
