I'm sick of the double standards, so I'm doing this poll merely to point out the double standards that exist, mostly on the part of the left leaning liberals in this country.

I am a white male, 40 yrs. old. I am voting McCain. That being said, I challenge anyone to find a post from me that even hints at prejudice.

There are more liberals/Obama supporters on this board, so your poll is going to be skewed in their favor.

Believe me, I fully understand that. But my only intention isn't to point out the irony, but to provide some level of entertainment for myself. Relying on this forum for anything more than that would be ignorant.

And wow, your quick!! I just hit the post button and bam you were there!

There are more liberals on this board? It doesn't seem that way to me, but maybe that's because the conservatives post more.

Option F: Rational people who don't believe the Earth is 600 years old and who do not believe humans and dinosaurs co-existed together against McSame/Palindrone.

It depends on which threads you read I think. People tend to stick with their own because it's easier to agree then fight it out.

Me, I like the fight, so I peruse threads counter to my thinking. Not only that, I can't really learn anything from people who think just like me, so I like to get opposing view points.

There are defintely more. Seems to me the liberals post way more AND any time there is a poll the numbers are way higher for those stating they are Democrat.

Hey I think people are prejudiced against McCain's age for sure. BUT, one only has to look at the facts: he's old and he's had cancer 4 times. And had he chosen a "normal" VP candidate, I wouldn't be so against him (well yes I would, after the debate I really really don't like him even more), but even you people know it, Palin can't be president, that would be the craziest thing ever.

I don't think that being concerned about McCain's age is a prejudice. He is the oldest Presidential nominee, so we do need take this into consideration. It's no mystery that older people generally have deteriorating health. Perhaps if his VP pick wasn't such an issue, then his age wouldn't be such a concern if we were confident in her ability to replace him when needed.

What does that matter? There are more Obama supporters everywhere.
