lol-give some of us slightly over 30's [MOD CUT/crude] a better/younger category (j/k, but Im a bit vain)

Younger (much) than Palin and voting Obama- people in 30-49 age range have alot at stake- 401k's, $$$$ being lost, and years to work...

I've given him some thought. As well as Ron Paul and Chuck Baldwin. I know none of them will win. I do think about that when trying to make my decision. While I agree with McCain more than I do Obama, I'm not sure I can trust him enough to vote for him. McCain and Obama both make me nervous. Obama moreso than McCain.

Good thing we still have a few weeks to decide. Hopefully by then I'll have made up my mind.

Thats ridiculous. Third parties need to surpass a percentage of the vote in federal elections in order to obtain guaranteed ballot access. If they do not reach this goal they spend all their money and resources trying to just get on the ballot while the two major parties raise hundreds of millions of dollars and have guaranteed access. A third party vote is more patriotic then any "low informed voter" major party vote.

Just take a good look at the recent voting for the failout bill compared to the support from the American public. Not a single 3rd party candidate agreed with this legislation. Being a lifelong member of the LP until Barr I really wish that more people would understand the reality of this orgy of morons in the two parties that both promote socialist agendas.

And as long as you think this, they will not be elected, which will leave us with a democrat or rebublican, and look at where those parties have gotten us. I will not be voting for Obama or McCain. I refuse to vote for the lesser of two evils.
