As for the topic. Honestly this is why I have trouble with elections that are so focused around persona.

But, to be honest, that may be the protrayal, but it isn\'t really the truth.

For those who care to know more in depth plans there are plenty of avenues to learn about the policies as opposed to the persona.

I did that, starting way back 2 years ago. This is the most I have paid attention to a political campaign, and I feel very comfortable about my final choice.

In fact, I just went and did my duty of voting about an hour ago. I was actually EXCITED to vote. The first time I\'ve ever felt that way.

Vote Bobby the Cat!
He\'s cute
He\'s caddy
He\'s Pro nap and sunbeam
He\'s for clean, cold, fresh water
He\'s worked with both sides of the aliae, both fish and dogs

On a more serious note, all be happy when the votes are all counted up. It will finally be the end to all these damned political ads! 22 plus months of hearing all these knuckleheads (on all sides) spouting is way too much! I fear that January 21 2009, it will all start again:cussing::cussing::cussing: Who hear thinks that it should be only like, say 18 months for the whole circus only!

I still wonder who would really wants the job? something like 250 thousand a year, no privacy, in a fish bowl 24/7, and anything that goes wrong, from war to natural disaster is YOUR FAULT!! The budget not balanced? Your fault, not the the other 500+ people that are adding pork to it. It\'s like any one who sits in that office has a big target on their back, any problem, anything at all, is your fault. What is draw of the job? The power? Free room and board? A personal Army?
Sorry about that, sometimes you just have to rave abit...

 

[Theomar Pius]

A sense of civic duty I believe.

 

[Bill]

At least Obama\'s good-looking. Having another ugly president would just be adding insult to injury lol

Personally, I\'ll be shooting for the job just to get my portrait on the $13 bill!

 

[darthfoley]

Anyone who *wants* the job shouldn\'t be allowed to *have* the job.

\"Al-Queda\" is pretty broad, it\'s hard to get a definitive stance from a spread out group of people connected only by name.

The endorsements of foreign dictators however, is pretty pinpoint.

 

[Ritual]

Can\'t see any of that as an argument either for or against either of the candidates.

 

[supervike]

Actually, my point really was more of surprise..

Guilty by Endorsement just doesn\'t really work for me.

It\'s an old campaign trick, and both parties seem to be guity of it.

Heres a complete list of the John McCain endorsements (according to Wikapedia):
