How Can You Not Have Your Mind Made Up?

I'm not judging Bush or Kerry in this thread. But they're pretty much opposites on most positions. How are there still undecided voters now? How in the world can someone not be aligned on one side or the other by now?
 
Because there is more than one issue. You may stand by Bush for national security but against him for social issues and unsure about economic issues. The debates may clear a lot of this up.
 
I agree it is incredible that there are voters who have not made up their minds. It's positively mind boggling. How can you not have made up you mind?

It's not that hard if candidates suck equally.

Unlike most RBH's and RKH's (which are fewer), you really need to look at the total package of issues. Not just party etc. Those that vote party line or on just one or two issues are insane.

 
Not everyone spends all day debating and reading politics online like we do? That's the obvious answer. Most people have at best a casual interest in politics.

I don't see how you can have a casual interest in the people who make the laws that govern your existance. Then again, my family was big into politics and my wife's family is big into politics. Oddly enough, they're on opposite ends of the spectrum.

Way to take it there, troll.

I don't see anything trollish about that. I imagine a few swing voters share that view
 
IMHO a majority of Americans are ignorant on most issues. I can't believe how many still believe Saddam was responsible for 9/11, or how many will vote strictly based on the Gay marriage issues. There is a local conservative radio show run by two ladies, there main 2 requirments with any political figure are; Must support Gay marriage ban to protect sanctity of marriage and must be pro-life. They seem to always ignore the big picture, but then again this is only my opinion.

FYI I am a strong Kerry Supporter and a middle of the road moderate / democrat by definition (Minority in my state - ID)

The government really doesn't have a day-to-day effect on the lives of the vast majority of our population. They vote, pay their taxes, and live their lives. When elections come around, they look over the platforms of each candidate and choose based on partisanship or an honest evaluation of the issues.

Gee calling the majority of america ignorant and self-proclaiming your knowledge? I would have never pinned you as a Kerry supporter.

Just rememeber that it is most of the libs in this country who are still fascinated by this Saddam\9-11 connection that was never there. The Bush admin has stated on several occasions there was no connection.

Given the poster's typically shrill and combative support for "Bush right or wrong", I'd have to agree it's a troll.
THe country is going over a cliff under Bush. If a majority of voters fail to see that at this juncture, it's cause for concern.
 
Dunno... I think it was Hannity that did a show awhile back interviewing people on the street... most didn't know who the VP/SefDec/etc was - didn't know Kerry or Edwards real name either. I think there's a lot of people out there that just don't care.

I know. I was going to mention ignorance...I think a lot of the people who take out their anger on Bush are really just frustrated with Joe Sixpack.

Ah yes. The old if-you-don't-agree-with-me-you're-stupid strategy 🙂

Maybe they are waiting to see which side will still give them the Bigger Cookie.
 
Are American Voters That Ignorant?

Not ignorant. That's the wrong word. Try apathetic. Like cows or sheep apathetic. How else do you account for the consistantly low voter turnout?
The majority believe (wisely unfortunately) that our 2 choices are simply 2 peas in a pod or 2 sides of the same coin. And they have been tricked into believing that there are no other viable choices. So just how do you choose the lesser of 2 evils when they are both so utterly evil?
