Whoever you vote for, get your facts straight about each man. They are both very bright men trying to deal with very complex issues. It is too easy to berate either one of them when you are too stupid to know what you are talking about. On a personal level, I respect the both of them, just not their politics.

Their politics are different. Good thing. Gives us a choice.

If you feel that you are better off today than you where 6-7 yrs ago, or you believe that the U.S. is better off today because of Bush and his friends, Vote Republican. That is your right.

If you feel worse off today, or that America is going in the wrong direction and we need a change of leadership, then Vote for Obama. That is your right.

If you just want to dog either man just to make yourself sound important, well, that is also your right. Just know that most people will consider those comments to be ignorant, ill formed, without merit or value, and nothing more than dribble. Nazis distorted the truth also.

Me... I already know that we need a very major change.

I will vote for change. Beats voting for dollars. My vote is not for sale to the highest bidder.

Thanks for a clear, thoughtful and level headed response. I agree with you.

If I were black. Which I am not.


By the way, the primaries showed that we are past the point of attributing Obama's success with the black community (despite the fact that he has never done a damn thing to help that community, as freezing cold tenants can attest to) due to the fact that he's a "democrat."

Lol....Some of this may be true and if nothing else it's candid (and I like that) but also unrealistic because you're not Black. Thank you for responding, though - I respect that as well.
