I voted for Perot myself back in the day....Funny... I voted for Perot myself back in the day.<BR/><BR/>I deliberately made this as non-partisan as I knew how simply because what Sheila says is the plain truth. No matter which side of the fence you're on, you need to be informed about the candidates, their ideals and what policies they may affect (or <I>effect</I> if they're highly enough placed) and how they'll affect those policies.<BR/><BR/>For the record, I think most people who've known me for more than 5 minutes know I'll be voting mostly blue in this election -- certainly the Presidential one -- but policies and issues are far more important than party politics. And that was the reason for putting this post out here to begin with.<BR/><BR/>It's your vote, it matters.

I am an educated voter. I don't believe...So true! I am an educated voter. I don't believe a thing I hear unless I investigate it and check it out. Some of the crap coming up in this election makes me crazy. The lies out of the McLame campaign stun me, as well as the potential for throwing this country back 50 years racially.<BR/><BR/>Sorry if you are a republican, I don't mean to offend you or anyone. I can't tell if what party you are for. I, myself am an independent. I've voted both ways in the past...I tend to vote on issues and plans. I even voted Perot once! lol.<BR/><BR/>Anyhow, I'm voting for Obama. And I'm proud to say that. I cannot for the life of me fathom how people think Sarah is qualified for anything. And the fact that she's still 'not allowed' to speak to the public is appauling. <BR/><BR/>Again, sorry, no offensive intended to anyone personally. Ok, gotta go. Nice to see your post, whichever side, you are correct....it's everyone's duty to stay up to date on the truth.sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07183605567090197137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7717405548205026477.post-26475413965499082712008-10-15T16:04:00.000-04:002008-10-15T16:04:00.000-04:00Thank you!Thank you!tiffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01351692108818152561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7717405548205026477.post-10820819315968837272008-10-15T12:10:00.000-04:002008-10-15T12:10:00.000-04:00Very informative.

I was very lost ...Hiya!<BR/>And thanks for the reminder. I was very lost at the last election when I didn't know just who the treasure of watchmacallits was. I confessed on my blog to voting purely by name - I am not proud of this.<BR/><BR/>I did go look at my sample ballot just in case I was missing anyone. Good news! I'm much better informed this time around!<BR/><BR/>Also, I am very happy that I can vote EARLY instead of waiting til THE DAY. I hate all the lines, signs and people that think handing me a pamphlet 12 seconds before I cast my vote is somehow going to magically sway me to vote for their candidate. My local polling place will see me on October 23rd! yay!<BR/><BR/>jcCraverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13162735846773014967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7717405548205026477.post-87006427737912290172008-10-15T11:25:00.000-04:002008-10-15T11:25:00.000-04:00Excellent post ... excellent ...
