I am sure I will get a back lash for this, but here goes.

I do not vote by party lines. I chose to vote for the person that I believe will make my country better. I do not chose to vote only based on someones race, age or gender. So for all those who think I am anti-African American, I am not.

I would prefer to hear SPECIFIC details of what a person intends to do and how they will pay for it all. I also look at their integrity, in other words what they do not what they say. I do believe the company one keeps says alot about their integrity and judgement.

Now for my question, however naive, when is the finger pointing, name calling and stupidity going to stop. When are we going to hear from both candidates what they intend to do and how they are going to pay for it.

When are either one of them going to stop pandering to whatever audience they are speaking to and 'man up' to use a phrase. (not that I think a women should not be president before everyone gets riled up)

During the primaries, I took the time to visit the webpage of Hillary, Obama, Romny and all the rest I could find. So dont think that I am just depending on the media and their partialities.

How about a forum where a simple person like myself ask the questions and require a solid answer?

Because that would be too simple and instead of taking the time to listen for themselves, the Obama and Mccain supporters would rather cut and paste a link, shout about irrelevant BS and then say why there candidate is not as bad as the other.

It's an absolute joke and travesty that we are stuck with one of these two buffoons to take over what has already been a terrible 8 years.
