I don't believe those are our only two choices, thanks.
And the science has NOT yet demonstrated that we need any such choices at all.

Read up. Get educated.
Basically we do only have 2 choices s/m
Our whole election process needs to be revamped.  To start with how about doing away with the electoral college?  The popular vote should do just fine.  Then there was the matter of redistricting under Clinton?  Bush Sr?  Junior?  Bush Sr, I think, since the redistricting made it easier for the Republicans to win the electoral college vote.  Our government corruption, I believe, begins with the election process.
Shelly - there are other choices
We've still got over a week til the election. There is a lot you can read up on, and you never know what's going to happen in whatever time is left. I'm not going to say who you should vote for. That is an individual decision you should make. Also note that if you feel very strongly against both candidates there are other choices. Constitutional, Independent, Green party, etc. IMHO, if you want to look on a lighter side of it, just realize that your vote alone if you were to vote for either of them would not be the one that breaks the tie and wins a victory for them, but if you feel very strongly to vote there are other choices. At least you'll feel like you'll have contributed in the voting process but not chosen someone you don't feel strongly against.
Lifestyle choices
Just wondering where the line should be drawn.
Everyone here in the US can make choices and
why do you not just look? So simple.
novelty VP choices always lose

Geraldine Ferraro.  Gore and Lieberman, etc.


 


Delighted that I've still got choices.

Some of the reasons for this are:  I have saved as much money as possible.  I have never lived beyond my means, never bought too much house, new cars, or gone into debt for travel, bling or doodads. 


I was not able to afford college, but I paid attention in high school and made sure I got maximum benefit from my education.  For years I worked in an unglamorous civil service job I no longer much enjoyed, until I could retire with a pension and health insurance. (Of course, I may lose this option when healthcare becomes free to all, and rationed to people my age.)  Part-time MT is my retirement job; still working, still saving.  


I took a steady (plodding) course until, in my 60s, I may actually manage to fade out fairly comfortably.  No flash, no pizzazz, just careful planning and self-discipline.  I have supported the charities of my choice and voluntarily helped those (again, of my choice) who are less fortunate than I.


Aha!  But now here's Obama saying that I have been much too lucky in my life and that, as selfishness is NOT a virtue, I must be prepared to see all my careful work undone because, while I've been busy being an ant, others have been grasshoppers. 


Obama's policies will do me nothing but harm.  Those who feel they have no options but to wait around for rescue have not been paying attention. 


so the choices were a racist or a fiction writer...sm
If you think Allen only said *macacca once* then you are naive, and I know you are not. He was only caught on camera once. His own friends said he was prejudiced in college and the *macacca* statement on the record is evidence he has not changed. The man had a noose in his office for Pete's sake.

Judging a candidate by his fiction writing. He claims, *It's not a sexual act, Webb told [radio host Mark] Plotkin regarding the Lost Soldiers excerpt. I actually saw this happen in a slum in Bangkok when I was there as a journalist.

The duty of a writer is to illuminate his surroundings.*

Is what he wrote tasteless - YES, but it was fiction. I will hold out on defending his writing just yet. I have not read the novel, but being an avid fiction reader there is no way I would try to judge a writers integrity or personality from what's in their novel.
Hope you enjoyed your freedom/choices! sm
Sometimes what we thought was so bad starts to look better when we get something worse, especially when we did not see it coming.  Socialism is not going to be as great as you might think.
The catholic school offered several choices of

Fascist police state vs. socialism - great choices.nm

There are other choices. I find Obama and McCain equally offensive, so I am voting for Ralph Nader.
Bob Barr might also be a good choice.
So has mine. nm

Mine too
I was seriously bummed when he left the race. I really think he could have shaken up the party and turned Washington around. Oh well, guess we'll never know.
so are mine nm
nm
So were mine
I get aggravated too when people lie or use eloquent words to gloss over the real issue.
Neither are mine
x
None of mine
have either.  I usually lurk but I enjoy a good debate and intelligent conversation.
And clearly, neither did mine...
we are still spending money that doesn't exist to try to spend ourselves out of debt. But are you serious that everyone supports the troops? Have you not seen people protesting at military funerals? Or how about the people who stood outside our base with signs that said that all military men are terrorists who only want to murder helpless children. Whether or not you personally know them, there are people who are not behind troops. Take a look at the person who said they die for "no reason." Heaven forbid that my husband does not make it home from Iraq, God help anyone who has the audacity to say to my face that it was for nothing!
Unfortunately, not in mine......
nm
SP said it, too. In the post above mine. :) NM
..
and you keep making mine

So if something is amiss in the word you don't try to fix it at all you just hope that it goes away?


Would you rather deal with Iran, Syria, Hezbollah, Hamas before they get nukes or after?  Should we have let Saddam get nukes too?


This whole *Bush was too preoccupied with Iraq to deal with this situation* the Dems are crying is bull. Just like everything else they say in fact.  This situation has been ongoing for years.  The cease fires so touted by Madeline Albright and Clinton have never been true cease fires.  This is a conflict that has been going on ever since there were Jews and Arabs.  This is one situation you cannot historically place the blame on Bush.  Doesn't hold water.  So, if you are so concerned about our President supposedly not knowing history or geographics then I suggest you do some studying of your own, because your history and your perception of it is a little skewed itself.


so was mine, but I guess

the recipient didn't get it . . . .


 


It's their own words, not yours or mine. nm

Sam, you give closed-minded people way too much of your time!  Oh well.  It's your call.


They may be off your radar, not mine...
nm
and I base mine on

available information .... don't just pull them out of my bellybutton.


 


In your world....thank God not in mine. nm

Mine is nm, stopping using that too.

I have a friend of mine who has a

few nieces who are biracial and they are absolutely beautiful kids.  I think some of the cutest kids are "oreos."


Your words, not mine.
Got it?
Her message....not mine..(sm)

"If there is an open door in 2012 or four years later, and if it is something that is going to be good for my family, for my state, for my nation, an opportunity for me, then I'll plough through that door," Mrs Palin said.


All indictations, from what I see, are that Palin is going to run for Prez in 2012.  I would guess that this means the pubs are going even farther to the right.


Mine's 148, and I'm just "Joe MT".

and you missed mine...
All I meant was she wasn't judging her on her LOOKS, but I believe how she looks at people. does that make sense? She is a beautiful woman and she does love her family, that is great. But I believe the poster was relating her personality... which some find abrasive and a little rude and "above" others you know? you dont see it that way, but some do. that's all. personally i have no opinion of her i dont know enough.
Your comparison, not mine.
Can't blame him at all for trying to grab a couple of gasps of fresh air after being immersed in the cesspool with the tax cuts for the rich or else monolith.
So did mine - but one wonders when?!
I've dropped all kinds of hints, and finally went upstairs and came back down in my pyjamas and slippers. But they're still sitting there swilling my punch, dropping cake on the carpet and acting like they own the joint.
Did mine. YOUR turn.nm
nm
That's your notion, not mine
As I said in a previous post, I believe in Jesus's death and resurrection. I just don't believe that belief is all it takes to get into heaven.
That's funny, it's in mine. s/m

But I can understand that it is not in yours since it has more than 3 letters. 


What exactly is your problem?  Why did you think it necessary to make a comment like that?  Tell me, did it make you feel more superior?  Or are you just so pathetic that you cannot even come up with something more grown-up sounding?  Were you the bully or the bullied in school?  Which was it -- something you never grew out of or something (or someone) you're trying to get back at?


contacted mine and...
also Nancy Pelosi. You can email her even if you aren't in her district. There is a place on her web site for anyone to email her. I hope everyone does the same.
I contacted mine too
I hope it does some good. There are just so many of them in lock-step with the big O and they don't want to cross him.

Her words (the missionary's), not mine.
Bush: A Case for Murder and Execution by Vincent Bugliosi, the Los Angeles prosecutor who so far has batted a thousand in murder cases: 21 trials, 21 convictions, including the Charles Manson case in 1971. He laid it all out there. Please do not come back with that tired rant about authors and book sales unless you have read it yourself.

Or maybe she just watched the horror unfold and came to her own conclusions. She and Mr. Bugliosi are not alone in this view/opinion. Despite the absence of mainstream media coverage, this book is enjoying brisk sales.

Like the OP suggested to you: If you come out of your comfort zone you might be surprised by what you find.
Pompous is your forte, not mine.

Writing mine in because I don't care
Many say that's a "wasted vote," but I think not. It shows both candidates that there are people that don't agree with either one of them! Besides, if I don't like either one, I'm not voting for the "lesser of two evils" because either way, it's still evil in the end, right? I'd rather "waste" a vote on a write-in candidate than have any remorse later for placing a vote I can't stand behind.
I couldn't live w/o mine

I have 3 CCrane radios, which are designed for AM radio, durability, etc.  At least you can catch many podcasts.  The thing I like about them (the free ones, of course, which basically all are), have the commercials extracted from them.  The only problem is that there literally aren't enough hours in the day for all of it.  The best part is that it's free--no cable, etc.

And since my job will probably end up in India soon anyway, I'll be the next one needing a government handout. So bet your bippy I'm voting for a democratic president!

NO!! Those are Palin's words, not mine!! She said that!
I was responding regarding qualification. Palin had no idea what the VP does... not sure what interview it was, but she said that the VP was in charge of the Senate.
Well, mine is definitely Okie. Never lost it.
Guess I haven't been gone long enough to lose it. I think NE Oklahoma/NW Arkansas accents pretty similar. So we probably do. I say "coke," (the Okie all purpose word for Coke, Pepsi, DP, lol) these folks up here say "soda." Drives me nuts. Soda is made by Arm & Hammer. LOL. The very FIRST thing I do when I get back to my old home town is get a chicken-fried steak, mashed potatoes and white gravy. These people up here don't even know what white gravy is. lol. Traveling for a few years has been real educational though. Still...ready to go home. :)
Woo-hoo...YES YOU CAN.....have a party of ca-ca.....your definition, not mine....
...sorry, couldn't resist, you left yourself wide open on that one.... :-=)
