The Debate

I watched the whole debate last night. This was the first one I think I've stayed awake all the way through. They are always so boring with all the yada yada yada and bashing of each candidate. This year though I'm really on the fence about who to vote for. There are things about both of them I can't stand and also things about both I like. Growing up with a very republican father I have always leaned in that direction. But I also wonder about Obama's experience and the safety of our nation. I think both candidates would put us fursther into debt and that is a huge worry. So what do you do? I firmly believe that if you don't vote, you have no right to complain afterwards.....I've told Lou this over and over because he has never voted....but loves to complain about how things are run in our country. Ahhhh.....one thing is for sure, I'm tired of all the called from each party. Last night a woman from the Obama supporters called. I really didn't want to get into it with her and was trying to get off the phone. So I told her I supported McCain. She got defensive and had a snippy tone to her voice and asked me, "oh so you don't care about you child's health care then? (Hannah was fussy and she asked if I had a baby....duh). I just felt like she was attacking me for having a different opinion and it really rubbed me the wrong way. Two others have called about Obama asking for Lou. I already know he'd hang up on them so I told them he wasn't interested in talking with them. So guess what? They keep calling. At least McCain isn't wasting my time on the phone....ah well....maybe something will change in the next debate to sway me one way or the other.

When McCain's people call I cheerfully tell them I'm on their side. Right on. Way to go. When Obama's people call I cheerfully tell them I'm no their side. Right on. Way to go.
Nothing to argue about. Nothing to convince me of. It's all good. Bye!

Vote for Bob Barr. Not perfect, but better than the other two. And no, it's not throwing away a vote, it's voting your conscious, which is the point. Picking between the least of two idiots is simply what has gotten us where we are.
