OH, and YES…………I have done and am still doing my research so that I DO make a fully informed choice (rather than the sound bytes you will be voting for). I want someone who actually believes in the Constitution AND honoring their oath to uphold and protect it!

So I should vote for someone I DON’T want in office just because you think I’m wasting my vote? Perhaps if more Citizens grew some b*lls and did the same thing we could send a strong message to these people that WE THE PEOPLE ARE TAKING BACK CONTROL OF THE GOVERNMENT.

Sorry, I personally think you will be wasting your vote, because you are voting for more of the same.

I’m sick and tired of doing that and am now taking my stand. Too bad so many have drunk the kool-aid.

Freedomlover: you are going to vote for the 3rd party for the sole purpose of being able to bitch about who we elect? What makes you believe the 3rd party is any different than the other 2 “elites”?

I’m sorry, but you can’t bitch if you vote for someone you know CAN’T possibly win… and the logic behind your wasting your time to do it, is pathetic.

If you vote for the 3rd party, make it because you did the research, and their views most closely resembled your own. I hope you love your “I voted” sticker, because that’s all you are going to vote for…

Palin didn’t seem to have it together at the debate. She seemed nervous, unsteady and unprepared. She was able to efficiently speak when she needed to, but it just seemed like she was reaching the whole time, whereas Biden seems to have the debate under control. I’m neither democrat nor republican, and this is the first election I can use my power to vote in. I’m not going to use that privilege to vote for someone who seems dramatically under-qualified.

Godfather Added: Thanks for the comments. I highly suspect Palin was over coached. Then again, I wonder how she would have done had she not been.

I more consider myself a Libertarian, than anything else, and I do not vote along party lines. I will proudly be voting for “My Man (gov.) Mitch” Daniels (R, IN) and to contrast, I have decided my vote this year for President will be for Barack Obama. More than I like Obama, I feel like McCain has tried to “pull one” on the American People, with his selection of Sarah Palin as his running mate.

Sarah Palin was clearly, out-classed by Joe Biden last night. Her body language showed her to be nervous, and she did nothing to show me that she has the ability to be VP or (heaven forbid) President. Biden presented himself in an executive mannor, and really convinced me that Barack Obama made a responsible and intelligent decision on his running mate.

With all of the Tina Fey talk leading up to the debate, it was to be expected that Palin would have to say “I may not do this the way you (Biden) want me to, or the way she (moderator) wants me to…” The reason for that was simple, Sarah Palin had no shot of performing at the level of Biden in a real debate.

I don’t know what gimmicks to look for next! I respected McCain. I saw him as the bi-partisan candidate. I saw him as the experienced candidate; now I feel like he is trying to take the American people for a ride, with former Ms. Alaska, runner up in the passenger seat. The two Mavericks theme is just making me sick, the “Straight Talk Express” has been completely “off track” on the issues, and the American people are still looking for some “Straight Talk” about how McCain handled the economic crisis, and the debate. Sarah Palin is being hidden from America because it is plain to see she is not capable of even performing the simplist of campaign tasks, an interview. If McCain is elected President of the United States, that would instantly make Palin a diplomat… I don’t know about you but I don’t want Palin to tell foreign leaders that she can’t answer them, but she will “get back to them”.

I am saddened that the American people will even stand for this, much less the fact that so many republicans, stand by it. Do you really think Sarah Palin is some sort of savior? How can you say that she is not being used, it certainly would rattle me more if I were a female (especially, a mother).

Listen, I am pretty close to an average Joe here; and I could have killed Palin in a debate… (I challenge Palin!) While our nations leaders are supposed to relate to the average American, they should certainly be smarter, or God help us all.

Godfather Added: Good Stuff. Thanks for the comments Chris.

Who said I wasn’t going to vote? Where did you get that? (yes I realize you just assumed it).

All I said was that I wasn’t voting for either of the two puppets we are being forced to accept.

I AM voting, just not for them. I’ve spent my life voting for the “lesser of two evils”…………NO MORE! That plan hasn’t worked, ever, so now I will vote for a third party. I just refuse to accept any more of the “elites” that are shoved at us.

Granted one of them IS going to win…………but then I have more than ample right to bitch my ass off about whoever does win as I voted for someone else……LOL

Godfather Added: Yea, you got me. I forgot about the third option (I suspect you will not be alone this year).

“Aw shucks.” said the eye-candy cheerleader.

SP would make a great president for anybody’s local PTA. She’s got spirit. And yet she is clearly not able to put together sentences with subjects and predicates that actually make sense. She is dangerous.

Godfather Added: Come on Helen, just the local PTA?…I am ok with her handling “Cake Day” in DC.

One thing I’ve noticed is that the females running seem to have this urge or need to “screech”. Hillary did the same thing. Both she and Sarah sound shrill when they are speaking and it irritates my poor delicate hearing…..LOL

I’m also a registered independent and couldn’t care less who won any debate as I’m not voting for either of them. I’m sick and tired of voting for one of the only two choices that are forced on us.

But then I’m a real witch that way…..LOL

Godfather Added: Come on, you have to vote…even if it so the “other guy” doesn’t win.
