:lol:

 

I was going on memory. I meant to say 64-36. But it's better than the 106% that Panther came up with. :lol:

 

 

Actually, the sum of the %'s may be less than, equal to, or greater than 100%. This is because the %'s are determined independently of one another. For example, you can agree with Obama 64% of the time and McCain 46% of the time and there's no prob. This is possible because there are a few issues where McCain and Obama agree.:thumb:

Barack Obama - 65%

John McCain - 36%

 

 

I think both guys want to help this country, but have different plans to do so. I really enjoy the debates and I look forward to them.

At this moment, I'm not planning to vote this time, and I'm not moving out of the country either.

I've never refrained from voting since I've been eligible. It's not being lazy; I just don't really want to be responsible for either of them.

 

 

To me, it seems better to not vote at all, rather than vote for the wrong reasons....which many will do in this election.

 

My thing is, if you aren't going to vote, don't complain. If you vote, and the candidate of your choice doesn't win, you have every right to complain.

 

Edit: Wanted to throw in that I'm not talking about you, just giving my general feeling towards people who don't vote.

91% McCain

12% Obama

:lol:

Well actually it may've been right, when I did mine it gave me 91% and 12%, this is definitely a political website. It uses some "funny numbers"....

You gotta vote, man. If you don't want McCain to win, vote and make sure he doesn't. There's not really an excuse for not voting. But if McCain wins and you do move away, please make sure the people know wherever you move that we really didn't mean to elect McCain and it was just an accident.

 

There are excuses for not voting. How about this one. I'm tired of the junk our system produces in these elections and I'm not so sure that either are the best candidates we have to offer. I do not want either person to be the President, therefore I'm not voting for either one of them.

In the words of George Carlin (Not aimed at you specifically).

 

"If you vote, you have no right to complain. People like to twist that around, I know. They say, well if you don't vote you have no right to complain, but where's the logic in that? If you vote, and you elect dishonest incompetent people and they get into office and screw everything up, well you are responsible for what they have done. You caused the problem, you voted them in, you have no right to complain. I, on the other hand, who did not vote. Who in fact, did not even leave the house on election day, am in no way responsible for what these people have done and have every right to complain about the mess you created that I had nothing to do with".

Glad to see Halfback posted that Carlin quote on not voting and having the right to complain, sums it up perfectly for me.

I'm glad I got the chance to use it. I remembered hearing him say it on an HBO special and when I went back to quote him, I was hoping there would be no bad language. Thankfully, in that portion of his routine, there wasn't any. :lol:

Barack Obama 92%

John McCain 15%

I'd recommend voting 3rd party. A lot of the junk in our political system, IMO, stems from the constant bickering between R and D's. A lot of these politicians are in it for the money, fame, and power, but can you really say the same about politicians who are members of these much smaller parties?

 

The R's and D's have set up rules to keep these guys off the ballot- if you want to shake up DC, then maybe these guys deserve your vote, because that is certainly their goal as well.

Voting for a 3rd party is a waste of time, and gas.

John McCain - 62%.

Barack Obama - 32%

Sarah Palin - 99%

 

 

Yes , Yes and Yes! everybody should vote this election, every vote is needed. :thumb:

You're right, unless enough people do it to send a message to the two ruling parties.

I don't see that happening.
