Bingo. Thank you for summing it up. I'm dissatisfied with both in a way that is more profound that ever before in my history of voting. I've read both of their websites, have followed both their public speeches, have listened to all the debates. The potential VPs are a real issue for me as well. I think I'd like Palin personally, but I don't feel she's qualified to be the potential President. I don't trust Biden at ALL. He was cozying up to McCain earlier in the year, kind of casting sideways comments at Obama, and now all is rosy.

..........and yes, I think a vote for someone other than those two would be utterly wasted. For the first time in my voting history, I will probably waste the PRIVILEDGE of voting, and decline.

I recognize that I loose my right to whine about it afterward. I just can't seem to get behind either one. I could've voted for Hillary Clinton. I don't think I'd like her personally, but I think she'd had done a good job as President. I'm at a loss here. Dismal choices. I think the last debate was a representation of the lack of substance of either of them. Zero substance, IMO. Sadness.

The problem with Iran is that they want to blow up Israel...their president has said so a few times. He wants to wipe Israel of the map. Now that worries me. They are trying to get nukes...if they get them....what happens then? All of these rogue nations are trying to obtain nukes. It's going to have one of two effects.

Either one...having the nukes will keep them from war because of the threat of destroying their countries.

Or two....they blow each other up.

Let's hope for one.

I don't think McCain would do anything in war that risks American lives unless he felt it was absolutely necessary to do so. Imagine if we had ignored everything going on in the middle east. Where would the world be right now?

I have more trust in McCain than i do for Obama for military matters...it's not even close.

I never said we were right by going there, i just wonder how things would be right now if we had not done anything. No one knows for sure. Would the world be better off with us staying out or no? And as for spending...this government wastes so much freakin money....10 billion a month is small in comparison to the 100's of billions wasted in other areas. The Iraq war alone did not put us 10 trillion in debt..although it most certainly didn't help matters.

Unfortunately many lives have been lost...which is terrible. I don't think it's going to get better either.
