Cubby, I'm NOT one of the Ron Paul whackos who thinks the guy can walk on water...but I DO like SOME of what he has to say. BIG difference.

Neither am I an Obamabot...I agree he's a bit too far left...but he AIN'T MCCAIN! McSame strikes me as being perhaps the WORST person the Repubs could have offered this election cycle..are they TRYING to lose? (and with that, me thinks it's still gonna be close as hell on Tuesday)

The older I get, the more conservative I get, but I don't think I'll ever get so old that I become a Republican...

(BTW, Ron Paul SHOULD run as an independent...he's NOT a good Republican by current standards...he actually appears to have ethics)

I think their party is currently sufficiently messed up that McCain IS the best they could do. Are you telling me any of the other choices in the primaries were better?

heh-heh...nope...

Unfortunately, neither do I think the Dems offered any decent candidates again this cycle.

I'm voting McKinney because she isn't like either of the other two guys.

(might vote nader because he's slightly less insane.. But then again punching a security guard is a major plus for me so.. it's gonna be a tough decision tomorrow)


but the gist of it is that I'm disgusted by both the Democratic party and the Republican party. I feel that both are caught in the stranglehold of big corporations and neither candidate seems the slightest bit inclined to rectify that.

I dislike both so much that I flipped a pack of saltine crackers to determine the ultimate recipient of my vote.
