yet another topic about the election
I just wanted to say that this is the first time I've ever heard so many people really supporting their candidate of choice. During every other election I can remember, most people didn't really like either of the candidates and saw their choice as the lesser of two evils.
An interesting thing to point out is that this may be the first time in history that the VP candidate could be the reason their running mate gets elected.
I have not been satisfied with either of the P or VP candidates so far.Originally Posted by Joy

Neither have I. They really need to start letting the libertarian candidate participate in the debates.
This is the only election i've ever taken an interest in.
Unfortunately, North Carolina has one of the nation's worst ballot access laws, which makes it practically impossible from most third parties to participate in state elections.

This is the way it will be from here on. Following McCain's defeat the age of visionaries running for president will be over. It'll just be charismatics from here on out, like the founders intended.
I must say I am rather appalled by both candidates, but McCain especially. Both of these men will bring more wars at a time the Western financial system is contracting at the largest pace since the Great Depression. This is a recipy for disaster.

I will hear Discojoe's twin, AKA my brother, give all Discojoe's anti-Obama messages to me all day tomorrow at my nephew's birthday. My brother likes McCain. He loves Ron Paul, but he likes McCain. He certainly does NOT like Obama or Biden. I have not yet heard his opinion on Palin but I'm sure he'll tell me tomorrow as he is very opinionated and he loves giving his opinion. Especially to me as I am a Democrat.
Those two are so alike when I read Discojoe's posts I hear them in my brother's voice. And I did before Discojoe considered himself ISFj even. They're just very similar.
My nephew just turned 5. He's such a little sweetheart. <3

I need a gamma NT to get me interested enough to put effort into reading and watching politics...I want to participate but I don't have any information to back up anything I might say.

Don't worry, that doesn't stop the politicians either.

You should better place your effort in more valuable pursuits. Politics are overrated.

That would be very nice! But you know that will probably not happen.

Your cute sentiments are superior to reason and facts.
Your Thomas Sowell sound bites are superior to reason and facts.

Lol, that doesn't even make sense.
this is an important election for sure. i'm paying attention. much more than usual. i honestly do not know how i'm going to vote. they're going to have to convince me.

those who are easily shocked.....should be shocked more often
Vote for the one who will raise taxes and expand the government, who will allow women to abort post-birth infants after botched abortions, and who takes his young children to listen to racist hate sermons.
That is because you lack reason and facts.

No, I don't.
That is because you lack reason, facts, and enough Thomas Sowell soundbites.No, I don't.

You can't lack reason and facts from a lack of reason and facts, silly.
I thought that once too, and then I encountered Phaedrus.

I've noticed
I have a real hard time watching political debates without getting really agitated at the debate styles. It sounds like a play ground fight.

It won't be me.I have no interest in such things. I already know who I'm voting for, so why sit through all of that crap?
If you're not sure who to vote for and are looking for a Gamma NT's perspective which issues he/she thinks is important and why, I'm all yours. Feel free to give me a call and we can discuss free market vs. socialism. At that point you'll only need to be vaguely aware of some of the candidates' policies/stances and you'll know who to vote for.I want to participate but I don't have any information to back up anything I might say.
That's interesting.
i kind of wish i had the drive to actually research the stuff like Peter seems to do, among other seeminly informed forum members....i dont have the patience for it >_<It won't be me.

What type's tone drips with malice?

Don't think that any site you visit is completely unbiased ... but I like how you can pick any candidate and it will show you the way that person has voted, things they've said (and they include links in case you're concerned things are being taken out of context), and they admit when they have no data on a particular issue (such as Palin on immigration).
Hey look everybody, it's a test! Go take it, quick!
