I agree neither choice is great, but will vote McCain just as a vote against Obama. nm

I don't feel the need to make the choice. It's a child, not a choice. n/t

A vote for Ron Paul is a wasted vote. No chance on Earth he can win. sm
Votes for him only take away from the real candidates.
Good point. I don't vote party, I vote for the
person. Every Democrat is not bad and every Republican good or vice versa.
Then you need to vote for Obama. A vote for McCain will...sm
not help you. Obama wants to give tax relief to 90% of Americans who earn 1% of the gross earnings in this country. The top 1% of earners bring in 90% of earnings. Any one person who earns $250,000 or less will benefit from Obama's tax plan.
they didn't vote - they registered to vote -
that is a big difference. The votes were not counted, they were stopped by the means in which they were supposed to be stopped - ID verification, address verification, etc. The cards were filled out by the ACORN workers and then given to the proper authorities to sort through.
The phony registrations were pulled out by the actual authorities. ACORN is just a middle man.
We get what we vote for. If we vote "party", we get extremes.
If we make it a point to try to identify candidates who hold moderate views and vote for them, rather than voting a "party ticket", we'll have a better chance of getting away from these extremes, whether right or left.
One of the problems, though, is that candidates often play games with their real positions. During the primaries, they talk the "party" line and then they move to the center for the general election. Both sides do this, unfortunately.
The only hope is to look at their past records - and take them seriously. History is prologue to the future. When a man has done certain things in his adult life, it tells us more about him than anything he says. If Obama hasn't taught us this fundamental truth, we'll never learn it. The evidence about him goes all the way back to his days in law school, and it was available for anyone to see. Some didn't bother to look. Others looked and didn't take it seriously. Either way, we weren't paying attention or he'd have probably never made it through the primaries.
No one can pull the wool over your eyes unless you let them, and the way they do it is by making smooth speeches filled with unlikely promises (and even glaring contradictions as they appeal to groups with opposite interests). They believe we won't notice the lies, exaggerations and mischaracterizations of their opponent's positions, etc. Unfortunately, they are often right.
Let's start taking the candidates' prior records and their life histories as the best evidence of who they really are - not their speeches. If we do this, we'll make better choices.
who cares
I dont care what the neocons think or say about me, my beliefs, my words. When a conservative gets ticked off at my words, Im actually quite proud. Im glad Bush and his ilk are screwing up badly because when we go to the polls it is the republicans that will be hurt the most. I have seen more people registering as democrat this year than I ever have. The shape America is in right now, due to Bush and the republican controlled Congress, would make me ashamed to be a republican. The rest of the world was astonished when he was voted in last November. We liberals have nothing to lose and only to gain by all of his screw ups.
LOL, who cares.

Who cares?
Who really cares? sm
The thing is, if we had to register, it would solve the problem. Anyways, if you feel that way, don't read or post there. It's pretty easy.
Who cares? nm

Who really cares...
except you???
Who cares?
Is this all you have to do all day? Too bad you don't get paid for it.
Who cares
I particularly could care less if she had a three-headed baby, never mind that she had one at all. She's gone, the republican party lost. As they say...let lying dogs lie (at least I think that's a saying LOL).
I think there is enough corruption in our own government and problems in our country than to be focusing on Palin's daughter.
Brother....even when they lose and are out of the spotlight some people can't let it go.
I think we should focus on issues like...
What's up with all these bail-outs. There has been so many I don't even know who is bailing out who and how many more trillions are going to be spent so the rich can remain rich while we all sink. All I know is everyone seems to be jumping on the bandwagon and getting approved to be given money - please don't ask me to explain because like I said there so many I just don't understand the whole thing except that people in govt are lying to us. All I understand is that people like you and I are going to end up paying for it.
Also under Obama's plan I see the rich getting richer and the middle getting poorer and I'm not quite sure I understand what is going to happen to the poor. I think probably they are going to lower the middle income so they we are in with the poor (after all it is only fair to give our hard earned money away to make us poor like them).
I see very hard times ahead. My dad just was laid off, in January his wife will be laid off, my BIL is out of work, my SIL will most likely be laid off, my other BIL's company is downsizing, he may be out of work, and my other SIL's company closed their doors and she is out of work. My DH is trying to find something to be retrained in so he can get a job. In our town we used to have 2 pages of employment opportunities, now we have 1/2 page. DH talked to a school up north today. They told him that 2 huge companies closed their doors today and over 6000 people are out of work. Nobody can count on what type of jobs/training is going to be a good investment for the future. When he finally decides on one area we read that that industry is going downhill. Luckily gas is down, but food prices are still high. Cost of heating is going up (imagine that...just in time for winter), along with taxes on just about everything else. Our DMV just released that the cost to get a DL has doubled, car registration has more than doubled (but not trippled). I am seeing more and more taxes on everything. How long is it going to be before just one income will not pay the bills.
So, I'm sorry, but I could care less if or when Bristol Palin is having her baby. I'd rather hear what Obama is going to do to get people back working and the country back on it's feet.
Who cares
And his name is Levi Johnson. But guess its too much to ask the dems to show a little respect for anyone who is not a dem.
How would you like it if we kept calling Obama "Long legged Mack Daddy".
But again - who cares!
Who cares?
What....is Sarah Palin's daughter the first teenager to get pregnant out of wedlock and then decided to break up with the father of her child? At least Bristol isn't receiving government help to pay for her child like so many young single mothers. People make mistakes in life. It doesn't make them bad people. OMG....she had sex! She should be locked up and how horrible Palin is for letting her daughter have sex. Sarah should lose her position as governor of Alaska because she can't keep her adult daughter from having sex. Sheesh. Are you people even listening to how ignorant you are getting with this subject? I'm sure none of us had premarital sex! To those of us who did though....did that make your parents bad parents?
Who cares!!!
First of all, stop calling us teabaggers as that his highly offensive. Secondly, we don't care about the GOP. This wasn't a support the GOP rally. This was a government sucks as a whole protest and stop spending our money like crazy.
I just don't see where you guys can't see the tea parties for what they really stood for. Surely you can't be happy with the government spending money left and right like it is. Aren't you worried about this huge deficit that keeps growing and growing and growing. Both pubs and crats are to blame for this and they just keep spending. I just don't see how you guys don't get it.
LOL. That is like saying who cares about
anything other than medical transcription.
Ugh...who cares?
I really couldn't care less about their emails. How would we like it if people were reading our emails out in public? We know what he did and we know it was wrong. All I care about is whether or not taxpayer's money paid for any of his rendevous with this woman. If he paid for things himself....I couldn't care less who he had an affair with. Not really my business. Now if he misused taxpayer money, he should be held accountable for that just like any other politician who misuses taxpayer dollars regardless of the reason behind it.
How silly. Who cares what
she goes to the bathroom. Why don't you focus on something that matters?
"Who really cares."
You ask who really cares? Well, that's the whole problem. We really should care. Who cares has been this administration's mantra all along and that is THE WHOLE PROBLEM>>>>>>>
As far as who cares, lots and lots of us care. But we are basically helpless. We need to start holding some folks accountable for their actions but as long as they are protected by the powers that be, that will never happen.
Who cares if you are liberal
This is the liberal board, no one asked you whether you wanted to be a liberal or democrat..Great..we dont need you, the majority of the country and world are left leaning and liberal..Go back to the conservative board and live your happy little insulated unrealistic life..dont bash the posters on this board because they state they are proud to be democrat or leftist or liberal..that is what this board is for..the liberal board, i.e., it is for liberals.
Again with the protesting too much. No one cares....
and it really doesn't matter to anyone other than you, I don't think. I certainly don't care. Did not mean to stir the hornet's nest by calling you by an old moniker. It's not like anyone who has been coming to the board for awhile doesn't know that anyway. And again...it doesn't matter, does it?
And if you are not angry, you are the angriest-sounding nonangry person I have come across in awhile.
:-)
We can all see how much your party cares
nm
Who cares about 'supposedly' nm
nm
ALLAH certainly cares
too bad young lady
Who cares what she has to say - she's a case
Just another. She tells him to stop being a hater????? She should eat those words.
Anybody who watches Newt and has read his books knows he is a highly intelligent gentleman who knows what he is talking about. Smart as a whip. Obama's administration would be a lot better off if they offered him a position, but then again Obama will not be uniting the two parties. It will be more separation and filled with liberals.
WHO CARES WHOSE FAULT IT IS??
This is past history. We need to move forward and come up with some real, workable solutions.
It matters not who created this mess, it is ALL of ours to fix!
What is gained by pointing fingers, name calling and childish, school yard games that go on on this board?
Thank God there are a few (VERY few) intelligent posters here that keep me coming back.
Let's bury the blame and get moving forward, shall we?
WHO CARES ABOUT PALIN????
Let's try to focus on real issues and try to mend this country.
I think it is fair to say that there are POLITICIANS on both sides who don't pay their taxes - what does that make them?? Crooks!! But it certainly is no-one's "fault" but their own!
This might interest you.......at least somebody CARES!!

The unemployment numbers for May were recently released and are truly disheartening. More than 345,000 Americans lost their jobs last month and unemployment rocketed to 9.4% (the highest since August, 1983). Clearly, it is time for Congress to reduce or suspend most immigration. However, the Congressional leadership is pushing for a mass amnesty!
This push for Comprehensive Amnesty is happening because the White House is holding an immigration summit this week -- the purpose of which is to pave the way for various amnesties (AgJOBS, the DREAM Act, and comprehensive amnesty).
Please fax your Members of Congress and urge them to oppose any attempts by open borders and pro-illegal alien lawmakers to foist an amnesty on the American people. Any amnesty, no matter how small, would have a devastating impact on America's 14 million unemployed workers.

You are welcome. (and totally clueless but who cares). nm
Cares about what ? that there is 1 person posting as 4 or
that I have always been me? Evidently you do. You posted about this twice. I am not on the conservative board; you are on the liberal board and my initial post said I was going to try to keep from going over there. Everything I post over there gets deleted anyway. The last post was quite inocuous but within less than 1 hour it was gone. Why don't we register? Would not bother me.
Whether Rush is disabled or not, who cares?...sm
He has positioned himself as a no holes barred blowhard showing his insensitivity to other's disabilities and now you are expected to come on here and be sensitive to his *disabilities* (like being an addict..ha). Like you said those in glass pill bottles (i.e., houses), should be careful to throw stones. He apologized, but has continued to justify his comments (any new news?)
Saw MJF in a news conference and he had tremors and to the audience he joked, *I'm not supposed to be talking to you unless I'm not shaking.*
He's chalked it up to ignorance and so should everyone else.
Who cares what Michelle Obama wants....
She was not even proud to be American majority of her life. 
I dont think the left cares. They are always this way.
nm
Who cares - she is not running. Even Obama said
Out. For some reason you seem to think Gov. Palin would have been able to stop her daughter. If you want a baby bad enough your going to find a way (place) to get pregnant. Her daughter didn't consult with the parents. This is not Gov. Palins fault and even then it's not a "fault". Her daughter wanted to have a baby and so she got pregnant. End of deal! Leave the spouses and kids out of the hatred you hold for the candidates.
Who cares what Europe thinks? They are no
nm
nobody cares about your pro mccain rant
loser
Yeah, he won! Who cares if he is a citizen?!
nm
Who cares what he did as an occupation or didn't do
He was trying to get the O to admit to his plans for the American people. The dems just were upset that it came out that the O plans to screw us all.
I want the truth. I don't care if a plumber or non-plumbar, plant or no plant was there. He didn't do anything wrong except expose the O for what he is. Out of O's own mouth - were going to take the money you earn by working and spread it around to the people who are not working because it's not fair that they aren't making what you are.
Again, who cares - give it a rest
This kind of mentality is not what is going to lead our country into the future.
Even Obama himself has more class than this. Nobody in his campaign is talking about Palin's daughter or making totally unnecessary remarks.
Didn't you read my post below. I already said who cares about Palin's baby.
This is old news! WHO CARES? Adultery is on both

Michael moore only cares about two things....
Michael Moore and his checkbook.
Who the heck is Parker, and who cares what she thinks.
Anytime anyone says anything against Gov. Palin the dems will jump all over it, "guess who so-n-so said that Gov. Palin should get out". What's going to be next "Harry the garbage man said Gov. Palin should get out", then that will be posted all over the place. I have never heard of this Parker lady and I doubt very much she has any knowledge about Gov. Palin. Maybe we should stop listening to all insignificant people. For as many people who say Gov. Palin should get out there are an equal number saying she is doing just fine, and many more saying Biden should have never been selected as VP.
who cares about the stock market anymore? it's
my stock-based 401K is all but gone, and even if i had the money next year, or ever, not a cent of it will ever go back into the stock market's house of cards. so i personally dont give a rip what happens to it from here on out.
Right. "The people" that he cares about so darn
nm
What puzzles me is who cares what any actors think about anything other than acting?
Why should I care what Tom Hanks thinks about politics? Or what Sean Penn thinks about Hugo Chavez? They have no particular expertise that makes their opinions one bit more interesting or any more valid than my mailman. In fact, I'd be more interested to know what an ordinary citizen like my mailman thinks.
I can't understand why anyone interviews them or quotes them on such topics AT ALL. Even more, I can't understand why any of us would listen to them or give 2 cents for their opinions.
Who cares? Got bigger fish to fry.... geesh!!

Who cares....that's just business as usual in Detroit. sm
That is not as flippant as it sounds. Detroit has been sucking off the gov't teat for as long as I have lived in Michigan. They got rid of the mayor because of stuff like this. The Synagro scandal even reached over to my side of the state, in Grand Rapids. So there was a big who-ha and then all the righteous indignation died down and life went on.
IMHO Detroit needs to be cut off Michigan, floated up the St. Lawrence Seaway and out into the ocean. Maybe somebody out there will take pity on them and give them a home.
Whoops, spelled Cheney wrong...but who cares..
