What she sed.

To this generation, oh yes indeed.

Make no mistake, the young voters behind Obama don't have the scars of the Civil Rights movement, Vietnam, or Watergate to get over.  They've grown up in an integrated society and many don't even own CDs.  They buy everything digitally, communicate wirelessly, and are connected to friends all over the world 24 hours a day.  They care what the world thinks of us and they've been paying attention on social networking sites to all of this for years.

And for ANY Presidential candidate to be utterly technologically illiterate is just anathema to them.  Or in the language of McCain's more gray-haired supporters will grok...it's "totally squaresville, daddy-o."

The only question is will they come out and vote this time around.  If we could vote via Myspace, this election would already be over.

My greatest fear is not the outcome of this Presidential election, but whether I continue to have many a sleepless nights thinking that the attitudes expressed here by the individuals who's minds have been made up from the beginning are going to be the ones running this Country after I am gone.  What a legacy you've begun.  I'm glad the Electoral College still exists.  The general population has no business electing our leaders.  We have no business trying to get involved in our own lives and the government who decides our fate as an American. 

You have the opportunity, with all the resources available, to be one of the most informed and intellectually responsible group of voters than any time before in our 232 years as a Democracy, yet some of you choose to follow blindly the rants of each political party without confiming the details for yourselves.  If I were your teacher at any time during your schooling, I would have smacked you with a ruler for not checking your sources. 

With each Presidential election we ask ourselves, "Will we be better off 4 or 8 years from now if I choose Candidate A or B?"  "Will the policies of my previous choice continue into the next administration and will my choice this time be the one blamed for what has played out to be a mistake as with most previous administrations?"  "Will this new Adminstration actually fix the problems that plague this generation and the ones before?"  We Americans have a short memory. 

It is not a question of who has spent the most money, or whether one spends more on a wardrobe than the GNP of several small nations, the true question is, what have these candidates shown to the intellectually responsible voter that can convince us they have the experience necessary to run this complex nation of diversity.  That, my friends, will be the question I answer November 4.  God bless this United States. 

Oh, please.  That's a McEnroe if I've ever heard one.

This is complete BS. ALL communications to the Whitehouse are through someone else first. Just try to call the president directly and you will get the switchboard first and they will screen you. Do you really think that the President answers his own emails?? Nope, someone else sees them first...and may answer them instead of sending them to the President. Do you think he types his own letters? Hardly.

I still can't believe that this is an issue.

And I can't still believe that abortion is still an issue, (seems like a no brainer...if you're against them, don't have one; and if you're a guy and you're against them, make damn sure you wear a condom, because once the sperm hits the egg, you're opinion on the matter is of no consequence), yet every election I hear this one ad nauseum, followed almost in the same breath with who Jesus's choice would be.

Put on that tinfoil hat mr.idog. It must be a left wing conspiracy. Funny how the goes around - comes back around isn't it?

Quit whining and get used to it. Just as everybody else has had to get used to & deal with GWB - who I would guess you voted for. Am I right?

I bet you'd vote for GWB again though wouldn't you? You and many others here - judging from what I've seen in the past.

Laughable. Give me a break.

Oh right, she's not qualified, but no one's really qualified to be president unless they have enough money behind them to say so.

Well, this seems to support the assertion (I think by Lantec) that conservatives are more likely to vote outside of party lines, but such progressive thought tends to leave the route to presidency wide open for democrats.

Ha, I'm still reeling over that comparison. At least Obama's not just sitting down doing a crossword or something. . . Yeah, I definitely prefer the dedicated maverick.

You can stop reeling.

That picture was taken NOT during the pledge of allegiance as mistakenly posted across the internet, but during the NATIONAL ANTHEM.  And there are many, many Americans, myself among them, who were taught that you put your hand over your heart during the pledge, but NOT during the anthem, as during hockey/baseball games etc.  You stand in respect and sing if you can and/or want to during the anthem, but the hand over heart is SAVED FOR THE PLEDGE of allegiance only...to give it the added weight it is intended to have.

And I was tested on these things to become a US citizen. 

So, the right wing pretends it's a requirement, when it isn't, then gets the event wrong (there is video on snopes showing that this is indeed during a horribly mangled rendition of the star spangled banner - not during the pledge), and then tries to make Obama unpatriotic because he's doing what he and many Americans were raised to do. Hell the guy leads the pledge in the senate, and YES he puts his hand over his heart...always has.  There are pictures there of that.

Go to ANY hockey game, etc. and you'll see the same thing. I guess none of them hockey moms and dads are patriots either.

The sad thing is, even in this day and age, when the TRUTH is a 2 second search on Google away, people would rather let the ignorant lie stand because it supports their ideology to do so.

Hey! I resemble that remark.
On a more serious note, some folks shouldn't be voting. Idiots that can't point out the state of Texas on a map or tell ya who the vice President is don't have any business voting. That's like asking Joe the plumber what he thinks about your back pain. If Obama wins this it will be partly due to the deadbeats ACORN dug up(or made up).

I can't wait for this day to end.

I'll sum up this entire election...

I'm with ya on that one bud!

Talking time is over.......GO VOTE!

(by the way...they just announced that Republicans will vote today & Democrats will vote tomorrow)
