Default McCain or Obama? Why?

Like the title says, who's your pick, McCain or Obama, and why?


Me personally, it's McCain, and it's not because I like him as a canidate or believe in most of what he says, I just dislike and don't believe Obama even more.

This time around... neither the donkey ass nor the elephant's. They have a lot of nice rethoric and fast replies (written by their PR people) and have spent hundred of millions of dollars to get were they are now.

And still are going to spend, perhaps, twice as much as they did for the primaries to try and get elected? What a waste, especially in these hard times our country is going through!

! When the time comes, I will put in a write-in candidate. emgriggs887, for example. And no, I am not kidding, absolutely not!

Ps... hey em, I though you said you did not want to get involved in politics here? Still, you opened the proverbial Pandora's Box? oi vei, not kosher!

Hahaha, well, typically I don't involved in politics, but I feel that on this forum we can all act like adults and have healthy debating amongst forum members.

So I figured I would be the one to open up this can o' worms.

Why can't you just choose the one who you agree more with instead of not voting? If I were stuck like you I'd try to choose who I thought was the strongest.

And to the rest of your post, I agree whoeheartedly, in fact I had though of putting a write-in canidate when I cast my vote, just not sure yet.

By the way, I appreciate your support for Emgriggs887 2008, lol, but I don't wanna be the POTUS, I'm more of a PITA.

No, Palito is a PITA with A LOT of fire sauce on it. I have a feeling he's going to come and get me for this one. *hiding*

I always vote, Moni. Been doing so ever since I turned 21 (at that time, the legal age was 21, not 18). I am an American first (born and raised in sunny southern california) and anthing else second. I also have been involved in politics for longer than I care to remember and served our country in different ways.

And yes, I care. But these two clowns... Never, in my 60+ years of life did I see two people with less qualifications for the highest job in the land as these two dumbbells.

And, please, dont get me started. Suffice to say I always vote with my heart, mind and conscience. The Party is one thing... MY country, quite another!!

I have to agree strongly with that statement, I don't believe anyone should vote simply because of their party, and when we face a situation like this year, I'm not sure what's worse, not voting, or voting for one of these two.
