undecided?

How in the hell can you be undecided between these two??

I mean, if you were hungry and had to choose between a salad with fat free dressing or a steak dinner with baked potato smothered in butter, you would clearly be leaning in one direction...

I'm sure the candidates have a lot more in common then they would lead you to believe, but I look at it like this. If you as a person have certain values that are important to you or you feel are important for the world, then you should have a pretty good idea of where each of these candidates stand on your issues by now.

I can't understand how there can be this big jump in the polls for Kerry after the debates... If you don't know what Bush is about by now, then what have you been doing for the last four years???

Maybe this all says a lot about the complacent nature of our society. Most people would stick with what they have no matter how miserable or damning the situation rather than try to do something about it. You see this in people with the jobs they have, the relationships they are in, and so many people are reluctant to take risks in fear of failure. I suppose if everyone was proactive about the things in their lives that bother them, we would have a lot of mad employers, botched relationships, and no new entrepreneurs (sp?). So much of this world is based on control and if you empower people to stand up for what they believe, then that causes problems on the macro scale.

I can see how it's much better to allow people to be mad, let people protest, etc... because then they go home and are still mad, but nothing changes... I don't know where i'm going with this....

Where in the hell are Dean, Sharpton and the gang these days??? I at least expected Kucinich to still be out campaigning at this point.

I was trying to make a point..... oh yeah... how can all of these polls jump from day to day?? Are people that influenced by MSNBC and fox news??? If so, these people shouldn't be voting anyway. Have a damn backbone, do a little research on your own and form an opinion based on the issues dammit!! How could you still not know who you want to vote for at this point??

I have a lot on my mind concerning this shit.... First of all, all of this 'swing state' crap just goes to show you how wack the electoral college is.... that's some bullshit and you KNOW it is directly related to where all the people of the darker persuasion are... Did you know that California, New York and one other state... I forget control like 40% of the electoral college votes and the candidates aren't campaigning there at all... So you mean to tell me that the presidency is dependent upon people in the cornfields of Iowa, the mountains of Colorado / Pennsylvania, and the desert of Arizona are going to choose who are president is???

They don't even HAVE Arabs in those states!! So trying to make a case that our standing in the world is destroyed to these people is kinda pointless no???? Sure I'm generalizing, but so what, you get my point.

Then there is this whole thought I have about 'sticking with the status quo'... Our society generally speaking (again) is complacent. We stay in shitty relationships, shitty jobs, etc... and do nothing to get out of them. So maybe, if you think that most people want to elect a leader that is 'like them' there are a lot of people in this country that would rather stay with what we have rather than try something new. There a many people who are hard-headed and the idea that this president is sticking to 'his guns' rather than change the course no matter how wrong he is, is admirable to some people because he is 'like them'... hard headed and determined to prove that they are right no matter how wrong they are... So you can start to see why and how this president could be re-elected.

The masses are idiots. We already know this... just look at how popular Britney and Lil John are....
