Undecided and Almost Out Of Time.

I still don't know who to vote for.

I don't like or trust Obama. I don't like McCain either, and Sarah Palin just gets on my nerves. (My daughter calls her Mrs. Folksy Moose Killer. )

If I think about their platforms, I have issues with and like some things about both.

I know I certainly don't want Obama to represent this country. For many reasons that I won't go into because you guys have already batted most of them back and forth enough. I'd write in Larry Gude or Vrai if I thought I could, but I feel like any vote that's not for McCain is one for Obama.

I'm still confused and unsure and I hate just voting for the lesser of two evils.

Well first let me tell you that Maryland is a Democratic State so we will probably go Democrat again since PG and Baltimore is majority Dem and they have bigger populations than we do....

Second here is something to think about...If Obama gets elected that will mean a Dem House and Senate and President.........imagine the damage that Obama, Pelosi and Barney Frank can do together with no checks and balances.......

Vote for the issues and not the candidates.

One guy has released his medical and education records, one has not
One has a long record of service to his country and one has a record of service to himself
One has provided proof of his citizenship, one has refused to do so even though sued in court.

Does anybody actually know who obama is?

I think you just answered your own question.

I'm sorry, but I really don't see how someone could really be undecided at this point in the PRESIDENTAL race. You obviously have the Internet, so you can go out and find the message of each candidate. The real message and not the ones from the entire Internet nut jobs (and there are a lot on both sides)... Vote w/ you heart, vote for the person who is more aligned w/ your views... The two candidates are so different; the choice should really be an easy one...........

All while successfully conducting 23 combat missions over Viet Nam, and the cost of those planes is less than 1/3rd the cost Obama, Ayers, the Annenberg Fund, Wood Foundation lost ($148 million dollars) in funds provided that were suppose to help Chicago Schools. Most of the money was funneled off to special interest pockets and radical groups and in the end, Ayers declares the program was a failure and the money is gone. Most who managed these funds (Obama was the chairman) live in mansions now in exclusive Chicago neighborhoods. Including REV Wright who bought a 10 million dollar mansion after stepping down from radical Trinity Church. WOW, what's the salary of Reverends these days???

And Grades don't mean sh*t, some people are book smart and some are better at practical application, the Democrats use to trump Bush on his "C" grade till the Republicans found out John Kerry had lower grades, then the Democrats STFU!!!


And since Obama REFUSES to release his Columbia, Harvard, school transcripts and Thesis, how the hell do you know how good a student Obama was. Get off the Obama Kool-Aid, the only thing you know about Obama is what he wants you to know!!! Like Joe the plumber you should question Obama about it and see how much of the liberal media crawls up your ass with a microscope to discredit you verse getting an answer from Obama!!!

And one drinks, smokes pot, and does coke when stressed. Is that what you want in a President?

Hey, if you can throw out non-sensical, irrelevant BS so can I.

Try an issue for once instead of spewing your BS party line crap you get in emails.

Mystical, the only advice I can give is to ask yourself what issues matter the most to you, and then ask who will do the best for that issue.

My biggest issues: (in order):

National Security
Defense
Terrorism
Anti-socialism
Taxes

Then I asked myself which candidate is closest to my position on these issues.

Yes, it is the lesser of two evils, but it has been for decades. Just think how bad it's going to get.

Nothing stops you from writing in Larry or Vrai, but why waste the time going to the polls to do so.?

You seem to be strongly opposed to Obama from your statements. None of us are in love with McCain, but we know he is a patriot, His wife is proud to be American, we know Mccain will be bi-partisan, the Democrats loved him until he started running against their Messiah. We fear he will be too bi-partisan, but better a bi-partisan President than one so far on the left. Pelosi and Reid need some sort of buffer between them and a complete Dem takeover, even if its only Mccain.
