If I were a vegetable, I'd be a radish, because I'm only kind of rad.

There are, I think most are just too "scared" to say anything.

....the top 2 candidates are probably the worst we've had in our lifetime. What bums me out is how oblivious people are towards other parties, there's 3 other candidates but everyone completely ignores them. It doesn't always have to be 2 choices, humans aren't that simple (or so I like to think), you can't just lump everything into Number 1 or Number 2 and deny everything else o.O

My vote won't matter much in California (I'm voting Green), but at least I hope it makes some kind of statement. It just pains me to know our poor country's gonna suffer at least another 4yrs :cry:

the reason people don't vote for any except the two candidates is because it would be a wasted vote. the broken two party system forces all candidates to the extremes and there just aren't enough strong candidates running independent. you can't win being a moderate because you lose votes on both sides. look at both mccain and obama. the closer to election day, the more extreme conservative and liberal they become.

Yeah, I know. I find that very sad.

I hope someday people believe in changing that :)

....but yeah, as I said, I know voting green won't do anything, I'm just doing it to make a statement. And well, my views are very Green anyway =P

A man died and went to heaven. As he stood in front of St. Peter at the Pearly Gates, he saw a huge wall
of clocks behind him.

He asked, 'What are all those clocks?'

St. Peter answered, 'Those are Lie-Clocks. Everyone
on Earth has a Lie-Clock. Every time you lie the
hands on your clock will move.'

'Oh,' said the man, 'whose clock is that?'

'That's Mother Teresa's. The hands have never moved,
indicating that she never told a lie.'

'Incredible,' said the man. 'And whose clock is that
one?'

St. Peter responded, 'That's Abraham Lincoln's clock. The hands
have moved twice, telling us that Abe told only two
lies in his entire life.'

'Where's Barrack Obama's clock?' asked the man.

'Obama's clock is in Jesus' office. He's using it as
a ceiling fan. :laugh:

calling you a racist is just as ignorant as calling obama a terrorist or a muslim. people need to stick to the facts, no matter how muddied both candidates have made it.

people in my school actually have been beaten up/started fights because they support Senator Obama. and I have been called a racist due to the fact I gave my "mock" vote to McCain. :[

I agree, people who call others racist are ignorant, and probably slightly racist because they're still separating the two as different (superficially)

I just see two guys, whom I both dislike equally lol.

....by the way:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ynews/20081022/ ... news_pl106

I knew it was a gimmick all along, but it was gonna end up backfiring because she's NOTHING like Hilldog, and well, animal lovers/greens like myself completely hate her. She's probably the reason I would never vote McCain if I HAD to choose between the big 2 o.O

It's boring to write a five-paragraph analysis on a debate. Just saying.
