LOL Oldman!  He does look like George!  Perhaps a Smurf George, but George for sure!

As for party affiliation, my view is that you decide what your own view is first, then see if a party platform and candidate matches that view.  Unfortunately, we only seem to have two parties for the most part, so your "match" may not be the best.  Then you have to decide if you want your vote to count or not.  If so, you probably have to pick one of the two (although I did vote for "that sucking sound" Ross Perot a while back).  Over the years I have voted for Democrats and Republicans as my view seemed to best match theirs.  In some cases, I made a bad choice (Mr. Reagan did a fine job, much to my surprise), but that's a good problem to have.

What is disappointing is the theory by one of the parties that yelling louder constitutes wisdom or truth.  It's just yelling louder.  So all the cute Photoshop work and the constant stream of noise from the right doesn't really indicate any wisdom or even good information, in my opinion.  Clearly you can disagree and many of you do, and that's fine, but I'm with lepomus_micro on the bottom line of this election.  The Republicans have royally screwed the pooch and Mr. McCain, good man that he is, is part of that machine.  He hasn't been much of a maverick, or admittedly, the kind of maverick I would like to see.  Absence any rational explanation for the war, the fact that he suggested we throw more troops at it seems irrelevant.  We should never have been there.  The candidate I will cancel TP's vote with, said that.  Had John McCain been enough of a real maverick in his own party and said the same, he might have my vote.

Instead, he chooses to be a "maverick" by picking young inexperienced politician from a state that might as well be another planet - not exactly in tune with the rest of the US - and puts her up as a confidence builder in case something happens to him?  I don't need that kind of maverick decision making in the White House and I really doubt many of you in your heart of hearts really does either.

Hope none of the above came across as yelling or I'd be missing my own point!   :P

Sorry no Photoshop in my post.  I don't vote that way.

If your counting on Obama for helping education, here is his legacy in Chicago.

Quoted from the Chicago Tribune

Then Secretary of Education, William Bennett stated that the Chicago educational system was the worst in the Nation.

William Ayers prepared the proposal that got the seed money for the education reform program that would become the Chicago Annenberg Challenge - some $50M from the Annenberg Foundation, which was then matched by philanthropists and business interests - to total over $100M for Chicago's failing school system.


As you can see from the rankings in the above link, district 299 schools rank last in the state, and are well behind in the county standings.

Obama's education record is extremely poor, not what I would base my vote on.

At least Palin would be a heartbeat away from being president. Obama would be president and in my point of view he has much less experience then Palin. I am sure some of you can point out the managerial and accountability positions he has had but so far I have not heard any of them touted in the media.

I am not using my heart in this decision. I have a gut feeling.

I have heard that this election may not be won just yet. I heard his support is waning in the black community >:D ;D :angel:

But will it turn out the gay vote?

As someone else said, some of you macho-men protestith too much about Barney being gay. He is, it seems, more of a man by coming out than the sick losers on the right who pretend to be all-holy and righteous while getting busted with their same-sex partners.
Kinda makes me wonder why the fixation with mens peckers by the right.  8)
We all know by now that it's the Republican who preach the anti-gay mantra all the while taking same-sex interns from behind or while trolling in rest areas looking for a same-sex partner.
Then there is this little tidbit:
The co-chairman of the campaign to select Senator John McCain as the Republican US Presidential candidate has resigned after offering an undercover police officer $20 for oral sex.


I'm not so sure i would keep playing the gay card seeing as the Repugnantans have a lock on men-on-men sex!
Just a suggestion.

Maybe it best you keep to what your Kool-Aid drinking, tin-foil hat wearing community does best, regurgitate lies and half-truths over and over to make sure you all get a warm and fuzzy feeling when nodding in robot-like agreement with each other.

'Jes sayin'

All who have been converted over to change their votes by constant child-like rants please raise your hand.

The republican gays, don't make $750 billion dollar fuck ups, then spin the debacle to deflect blame.

I don't quite get your point???????

Maybe a look at your x-ray will clear things up?

OH FUCK!............ I see the problem clearly now.

Talk about fuckin brain dead!
Your fucking buttheads blew it big time over the past eight years, face it. Also, face the facts people are getting tired of being burned by pulling the lever for assholes who haven't done a GD thing for them but take their money and put their asses deep in debt!

I know, but 'dey gonne git yer guns if'n ya vote any other way'. That's fucking bullshit too but a very effective scare tactic sure to lock-in the ever faithful single issue voter!
