McCain chooses Sarah Palin for VP

Ron Paul would have got my vote if he had a chance.

You're not voting to pick a winner, you vote your conscience.

You should talk to the Floridians that voted for Ralph Nader in 2000 and see if voting with their conscience got them anywhere. I don't think they wanted Bush to win.

Save yourself the time, just don't vote and quit posting about irrelevant president hopefuls. Why not proclaim yourself as a better presidential hopeful. You, me, your neighbor, David Nolen, Ron Paul or Bob Barr could be better presidential hopefuls.

The relevant conversation is about McCain and Obama. One of the two will be president. Seems like every political post gets wrecked by some upholding the constitution blah blah blah....

I think most people are talking about the elections prefer to talk about people that can win. I could give some great talking points about how I would be a better choice. But guess what, who cares?


Back on topic, I thought at first when I heard about Sarah Palin, I thought McCain was a big dummy.

She has no experience at all. No business being a heartbeat away from being president yet, none. Horrible choice.

She has more experience than Obama.

I guess her inexperience glares in the face of Obama, maybe McCain isn't a dummy.

I still don't really get it. I don't know why anybody would vote for McCain. I could if only I disliked Obama more. I will probably not waste any time with voting or making any more posts about politics.

Not like it matters unless you live in a swing state anyways.

This is an assine assumption that because they voted for Nader that they would'nt have voted for Bush or would have voted for Gore. When in reallity they didn't vote for either because they liked Nader. However, Bush didn't win because of Nader. He won because he got more support and that's it.

Where exactly did I post about irrelevant presidential hopefuls in this thread? I merely stated that you should vote for who you believe would be best for the spot of POTUS, whether it be a mainstream candidate or a third party candidate. You shouldn't vote based on who you believe will win, which is how most people vote.

So you'd rather talk about how Palin's daughter is pregnant and how it's a "cover-up" for her supposed son Trig? Or would you rather talk about how much Obama's wife "hates America" and how he doesn't wear a flag pin? This is what's "relevant" in the elections today and if you'd like to talk about that be my guest, but I don't like taking part in the dumbing down of America. By the way, this goes much further than who the next president is.
