Its between Obama really and McCain and neither really does anything for me. Obama is just too out there and only cares for the poor underprivileged people. McCain on the other hand, he seems kinda like a big gunner on keeping the war going which I don't know anyone who is in support of it at this point.

More Americans are below the poverty line than above it. I think Obama is justified in that respect.
I'm voting for Obama. I was originally going to vote for Edwards before he dropped out but Obama has since won me over.
I have to vote, I'm a card carrying NDP, plus, I don't want Stephan Harper to get another term, and I DEFINITELY don't want Stephan Dion to get in, bleh...I'm pro-Jack Layton.

What's wrong with helping those in need? Sure rich people ought to be favoured, since they clearly need it and social heritage and paterns surely do not exist... Oh, well... I'll never understand capitalism...
On-topic... Neglecting to vote is never a good thing, it might not matter that much whether you're voice isn't heard, but if everbody thinks like that, then there is a problem...
The only reason I would not vote is if I didn't feel that I knew enough information about all the candidates or if I couldn't make a mind who was the better candidate.
I'll vote for McCain, though I do hate politics. It's better to have a war over there then over here. Imagine, for a second, if we pulled the troops out right away, as Obama plans to do... There's a good chance more terrorist attacks could happen. Do you want that?

You could say that I'm curious as to what would happen if we just dissolved our involvement precipitously. :P

Probably another 9/11... :( War is a bad thing, but I think it's a good thing because in a way, it keeps me, my friends, and family safe.

War... keeps you safe? I'm sorry, but that baffles me.
My bad, not clear enough... The war over there keeps me safe from a war over here in America where we could all be in danger. I had an argument in class about this, and totally won. Though they are single-minded teenagers... :D

Your stance is based on two false assumptions. 1) There MUST be war. 2) There can't be war here while there is war there. Edit: In fact, it weakens us, because the more forces we have deployed, the less we have for defense.
[QUOTE="ice_radon"]I dunno, its almost as you are just choosing the "lesser of two evils". I mean say that out loud and ask yourself how right that sounds?!?!Jandurin
I know. It's awful >_> Not voting isn't going to solve anything, though.
I believe that's how Nixon got into power: many people didn't vote.

IMO the majority of attacks on troops in Iraq isn't because they want to try to fly planes into your buildings, but because your country invaded theirs and they want you out.
And Obama doesn't plan on pulling troops out right away. His words were that it would take about 16-18 months, if memory serves me, for all the troops to be out, and that he'd take them out over time. Either re-word or research.
