A Question For American Voters

Why is it, if someone has reservations or misgivings about McCain/Palin, they are automatically a Obama/Biden lover or vice-versa?

Could it not be a question that the two choices before America are quite frankly
bleak.

Is there not another option?

BTW, we are facing the same thing in Canada & they believe there will be a 60%
or lower voter turnout for our election in two weeks.

People have lost faith in the system.

I heard in 2004 voter turnout in the US election was about 50%.

Could this also be about the lack of quality candidates?

Ron, the other choices are Independent and they don't have a chance at all in winning the Presidency.

Thank you, Renda. If you don't vote for the one that is closest to your ideals, the other will win. Pretty simple. We aren't electing a pastor here.

We aren't?

So it comes down to hold your nose & vote?

I will be voting for a leader & party in our upcoming election, but by all means I do not endorse him either.

Hold my nose it is.

Ron!!!! It's not Party Politics when you vote for the party that best represents your views!!!!

If we had a strong, outgoing, articulate, revolutionary run third party, this country would be on it. But, we don't. We are basically a two party system - thus far.

I don't have to hold my nose. I highly respect John McCain and Palin. I will be happy to trip to the voting booth and punch those buttons!
