We aleady know who we're gonna vote for...
So why kick a tired horse?
Unless maybe it's fun to kick the old tired horse...
Let's be honest, let's face it:
There's NOTHING anyone here can say to make your mind change.
You KNOW right now, who you're gonna vote for.
Until the time you actually get down to vote, you need to reinforce your decision.
Right?
So you listen to the news, or talk radio, or you open an email from your friend who is trying like hell to make you vote for who she or HE thinks is the right one.
But you aren't stupid.
You've made up your mind.
There are reasons you're gonna vote for the tired old man or the affirmative action candidate.
Sure you can vote for some other nobody, but you're just throwing it all away.
Me?
I'm saturated.
I know who I'm gonna vote for.
Just like you.
Let;s just do it.
But for Christ sakes, whoever wins, let's not be crybabies and count the votes, and recount the votes, 17 times.
Accept whoever is elected, and stand together as a country.
(even if your candidate is fond of going to Europe and denouncing his own country) If he get's elected, I'll stand by him and hope for the best.
He''ll be the first affirmative action President, but he'll still be my president. I'll support him. I hope he proves me wrong. I hope he's a great president who can keep us safe, even if he has no knowledge of how the military works.
I hope someone will teach him.
Let's just vote tomorrow.
Why wait?
We already know who we are voting for.

The electoral college sucks btw,they made the losers win.

You're Right,The popular vote just means the nuts would like to run the asylum.
Origins of electoral colleges
Germanic law stated that the German king led only with the support of his nobles. Thus, Pelayo needed to be elected by his Visigothic nobles before becoming king of Asturias, and so did Pepin the Short by Frankish nobles in order to become the first Carolingian king. While most other Germanic nations went to make a strictly hereditary system by the first millennium, the Holy Roman Empire could not, and the King of the Romans, who would become Holy Roman Emperor or at least Emperor-elect, was selected by the college of prince-electors from the late Middle Ages until 1806 (the last election actually took place in 1792).
The word democracy is a joke-I think it only apllies to who wants Dunkin Donuts or McDonalds!

Ron Paul 2008, write it in...
9/10/2008 4:07:10 PM
cnn.com/2008/politics/09/10/pa...Paul said that he had received a call from the McCain campaign Tuesday asking for his endorsement. Paul's response: "I don't like the idea of getting 2 to 3 million people [Paul supporters] angry at me."
McCain's aides argued that the Texas Republican should endorse McCain because he would do a "little less harm" than Obama, Paul said, but "we just don't need to do that anymore."
"If you ever get to the point where you believe the two parties are essentially the same, if the majority is outside of the establishment, it's not very democratic. The process is not working," Paul said.

This just in....
University of Massachusetts officials yesterday quashed efforts by an Amherst campus chaplain to offer two college credits to any student willing to campaign in New Hampshire this fall for Democrat Barack Obama.
Chaplain Ken Higgins told students in a Sept. 18 e-mail, “If you’re scared about the prospects for this election, you’re not alone. The most important way to make a difference in the outcome is to activate yourself. It would be just fine with McCain if Obama supporters just think about helping, then sleep in and stay home between now and Election Day.”
Higgins added that an unnamed “sponsor” in the university’s History Department would offer a two-credit independent study for students willing to canvass or volunteer on behalf of the Democratic nominee.
“It is relatively (easy) to do late add-ons,” Higgins wrote.
But university officials disavowed themselves of the effort after inquiries yesterday by the Associated Press. They said it could run afoul of state ethics laws banning on-the-job political activity, as well as university policy.
“There is no independent study for credit in the History Department that involves partisan political work, and no such activity has ever been approved,” said a statement issued by UMass-Amherst spokesman Ed Blaguszewski.
Higgins refused to identify the History Department sponsor and referred all further questions to university officials.
Blaguszewski said Higgins is one of about a dozen chaplains from different faiths working in Amherst, the flagship campus among the university’s five schools.
