But I really can't, for the life of me, figure out what it is about either candidate that people are so excited about.

They're both liars, albeit motivational, but liars nonetheless. I'm so appalled by the complete inadequacy of our own country to find candidates worth serving as president that I was, until somewhat recently anyway, planning on not voting. I guess I hoped that my vote, or lack thereof anyway, would get through to whatever social circle I have and really show them how pathetic the direction this country has gone is.

That all changed when Mccain chose what I can only guess is the closest living descendant of what I thought to be extinct: the Homo neanderthalensis, to be his running mate.

Sarah Palin is, by a wide margin, the stupidest person I have yet to see run for any office higher than middle school secretary of student government. So, after some deliberation, I decided I have to vote if for no other reason than to do my part in keeping her out of the White House, and in Alaska, where word is she can put all her extensive foreign policy experience to good use.

Overwhelming sarcasm and insults to Sarah Palin notwithstanding, she really isn't someone I want even thinking about possibly looking at anything that could even remotely be considered running this country. With John Mccain, the oldest person to get elected to office in American history if he does do so, and what I'm going to air on the side of caution and assume is recurring skin cancer, she'd be, quite literally, a heartbeat away from being president.

So no, I don't like Obama or Biden, and I'm not fond of Mccain, and Hillary is just as bad as all three, but Palin, I must say, has definitely gotten my vote.



P.S.
I would have voted Ron Paul given the chance.

Yeah, well in HER words: "I'll have to research that and get back to you on that".

(((Dan Quayle)))

I've only heard rumors, but I have heard from George Carlin (Rest in peace) that his wife was quite the stomach-turner.

from the Wiki....

Vice Presidency

The Bush/Quayle ticket went on to win the November election with a 53–46% margin by sweeping 40 states and capturing 426 electoral votes.

President Bush named Quayle head of the Council on Competitiveness and the first chairman of the National Space Council. As head of the NSC he called for greater efforts to protect the earth against the danger of potential asteroid impacts. [11]

Throughout his time as vice president, Quayle was widely ridiculed in the media and by many in the general public, in both the USA and overseas, as an intellectual lightweight.[12] Contributing greatly to the perception of Quayle's incompetence was his tendency to make public statements which were either self-contradictory ("We don't want to go back to tomorrow, we want to go forward"), logically redundant ("The future will be better tomorrow"), obvious ("For NASA, space is still a high priority"), geographically wrong ("I love California. I practically grew up in Phoenix."), fallacious ("It's time for the human race to enter the solar system"),[13][14] or painfully confused and inappropriate, as when he addressed the United Negro College Fund, whose slogan is "A mind is a terrible thing to waste", Quayle said "You take the United Negro College Fund model that what a waste it is to lose one's mind or not to have a mind is being very wasteful. How true that is."[15]

Shortly after Bush announced the Space Exploration Initiative, which included a manned landing on Mars, Quayle was asked his thoughts on sending humans to Mars. In his response he made a number of errors: "Mars is essentially in the same orbit [as earth]....Mars is somewhat the same distance from the Sun, which is very important. We have seen pictures where there are canals, we believe, and water. If there is water, that means there is oxygen. If oxygen, that means we can breathe."[16]

His most famous blunder occurred when he corrected a student's correct spelling of "potato" to "potatoe" at an elementary school spelling bee in Trenton, New Jersey, on June 15, 1992.[17] According to his memoirs, Quayle was uncomfortable with the version he gave, but did so because he decided to trust what he described as incorrect written materials provided by the school. He informed student William Figueroa that he had misspelled the word "potato", when in fact Figueroa had spelled it correctly. Quayle then had Figueroa add an "e", not only making it incorrect, but once again making himself a target with this misspelling. Quayle was widely lambasted for his apparent inability to spell the word "potato". Figueroa was a guest on Late Night with David Letterman and was asked to lead the pledge of allegiance at the 1992 Democratic National Convention.

Palin, seriously? So what do you have against Harry Potter? And you believe that women should have to pay for their rape kits? And what if a 13 year old is a victim of incest and gets pregnant? She should be forced to keep it?

I agree with you, but no moose out the window, only in a helicopter.

Joe Biden's are the BESTEST ever!!
