Can’t Decide Who to Vote for in 2008?
- get out and vote in the 2008 presidential election
With the 2008 presidential election just one week away, I ceratinly hope you have decided which candidate to for for in this crucial election. If you haven’t seen the debates, you must live on the dark side of the moon. There are many issues in this election that may decide the future direction of our country; either to stay the current course and risk repeating our mistakes or to move forward for a more promising future with a better international image. Here’s one website that will help you decide which candidate better suits your philosophy and possibly help you decide for yourself. One thing is for sure, this campaign has provided us with hours of laughter in the form of both outright political gaffs and loads of politcal humor, like the Saturday Night Live parodies of Sarah Palin, performed by Tina Fey. Other gems include the John McCain stump speach as he addresses his constituents as ”My Fellow Prisoners” (Palin’s expression is priceless), was this a chilling flashback from his POW days perhaps? Do we want a guy like this with his shaky finger poised on the button? What was the RNC thinking when they picked these candidates??? If you think things are bad now, and they get in, we’ll need to call Joe the Plumber to unclog their mess. Even for this long time republican, Senator Obama looks better every day.

Well, maybe he’s a little shaky because his “Hanoi Hilton” captors spent a great deal of time hanging him up by his hands and dislocating his shoulders.
If Senator Obama looks good to you, I suggest you use some compressed air to dust off your safety glasses. Your vision ain’t what it used to be.
I notice your citation of political gaffes don’t include Biden telling a wheelchair-bound politician to “stand up, Chuck” or my esteemed Illinois senator’s inability to get through a west coast appearance without derogatory comments about middle Americans inability to get by without bitterly clinging to our guns and religion.
Oh, and the RNC didn’t pick McCain. The news media did.

If that’s why he’s shaky, then he belongs in a VA hospital, not the White House.
His running mate is a real joke. And I thought Nancy Pilosi was bad.
Neither candidate impress me much, but I’m switching for the lesser of two weevils (sic). No need for a political debate here, just get out and vote what you feel is best for our country.

Well, I hate it when someone who seems otherwise reasonable is situationally daft. I have found the level of ignorance about Sarah Palin to be quite stunning. And what I really find puzzling is that regular people, which I assume you to be, don’t think that regular people are capable of rising to high office or governing in Washington. So the only people that are capable of federal governance are born into it? You have to be a Bush or Kennedy or Clinton, or have a parent who was in politics?
Bleccchhhhhhh.

The bottom line is who is comes across as more presidential and more of a leader with a plan of action. As a republican, I am disappointed to see how John McCain\’s plans blow like the wind and seems desperate to copy his opponents platform. Palin is downright failin\’ and if you haven\’t seen the interviews and debates, go back & watch them. It scares me when she says \"we\’re gonna get in there and shake up Washington\", damn, it\’s shaken up enough already! We don\’t need any more mavericks in Washington.
Like Dennis Hopper says, \"you my friend, you need a plan!\" and that\’s what this country needs, a plan! Not a bunch of desperate maverick mudslinging.
