I know what you mean tallgnome. Makes me wish we had a bunch of different political parties like in Europe. Only two choices to vote for gives us this situation sometimes when neither candidate is a good candidate. Not to mention if there were more parties with a presence in congress it would force them to actually work to together instead of depending on party votes and trying to steal a few votes from across the isle.

Bob Dole........Bob Dole.....Bob Do-

*falls asleep*

I will cry if anyone wins. We lose, no matter what.

Protect the country our forefathers founded - dismantle the government.

The two candidates are better than what we are getting now, but I will be highly upset if McCain wins. Not as much as I would've been a few months ago, but I'm pullin for Obama.

yea, and Obama has been the senator of IL.... he was there for 1 year before he announced his intention to run. The only thing that would make him better than Palin would be YOUR perception. Which has most likely been given to you by the media outlets. Because the only 2 times she was on unfiltured she was dynamic. Now, I do not believe she is ready to be Prez, but I don't think she thinks she is either... But... Obama does. To me that is scary. And yes I would be more likely to vote for Biden. Don't get me wrong, I love Palin as VP, VP is a very small position (especially if you take Bidens viewpoint), McCain will not die anytime soon, and give her a few years she might be ready. Not now of course.

You people sound just like Margret Thatchers opponents back in the day... irony?

That actually brings up a point that really gets to me, bigjon. I remember there being a rumor that Obama was being labeled as the antichrist by someone and liberals and the media were all over that calling it bigoted slander that was typical of the conservatives/republicans, yet I've never seen more than about 1 person who has EVER actually voiced that themselves in any way, and they were actually talking about how the media is treating him, not Obama himself.
People I've talking to in real life, and even real people on the internet, I've seen them going "yes obama looks nice but everything is so scripted out that it all ends up being a performance, not what he actually believes, and says a lot of nice stuff bit doesn't really back anything up with real plans and he's campaigning way too much in other parts of the world" etc, basically just pointing out the issues they have with him in a national leadership position.

Yet when it comes to McCain, Palin and Bush (with how often he gets mentioned, I have to assume he's apparently running for a 3rd term on McCain's ticket somewhere) you get so much freaking HATE. I mean, just look at this thread alone and compare the number of times people swear when objecting to Palin and McCain vs those that are objecting to Obama.

You tend to get a lot of hate when parts of your platform are based on intolerance and/or ignorance. I'm not calling McCain ignorant or intolerant but a fair amount of the GOP's base viewpoint sure is.

It's not hard to stir up vitriolic hate in people when the Religious Right is involved in something. Add in the general public's extreme dislike for Bush and you've got a lot of really pissed off people on your hands.

I have a question for you, Halogamer...

Will you cry if Obama wins? What about Mark Warner?

Troll Dole.......... Dole's on a roll, he's outta control!

I have designed my Christmas cards for this year. I have done a painting of Sarah Palin Aerial hunting. The inside of the card will read "When Pigs Fly" I am optimistic that people will stop drinking the "koolaid", and vote Obama. Hopefully by 2009, this undynamic GOP duo will soon be forgotten!

But ... yes... if McCain wins I would  definately cry and then I would have a meltdown  :(
