Assuming it is BO and JC in the general election, what's the chance you won't vote out of lack of interest?

bad odor and jesus christ are our choices ??
give me the stink
Exactly, its a trick question.
I opened this thread thinking it'd be about gas prices. I really almost couldn't bring myself to purchase gas this week (even though the tank was empty) because I was revolted by the price. I really resented being in a situation where I was forced to pay that!!
This time around I'm sitting this one out.
absolutely brilliant idea.
and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.

on behalf of the sane half of this population I'm begging you not to do that.
you'll feel really bad if McCain wins. you'll wonder if you couldn't have made a difference.
take 5 seconds to do the right thing.
um, unless you're voting republican than feel free to sit it out.
so what you are saying is 'vote the way i want you to or don't vote at all'?
if you're gonna vote for somebody i'd think it should be a much better reason than s/he's not someone else

Not voting is IMO one of the dumbest things you can possibly do. Then again I guess it give you a perfect excuse to bitch and moan. The idea that an individual not voting here and there will perhaps "say something" is saying nothing more than you being completely fucking worthless...especially on a year that 10's if not 100's of thousands more come out to vote given our current situation. Way to go! You showed them!
Is Obama perfect? Not by a long shot, but sitting at home frustrated by the daily news...and doing nothing more than logging on to a message board to vent your frustration (oh, and convincing nobody) will solve nothing. For a country that is as fucked up as ours, baby steps are better then no steps...or taking steps backwards (as we have for the last 7.5 years).
Hooray for doing nothing! Hooray for another 4 years of bitching on a Pearl Jam message board!
what baby steps will obama make???
our troops will still be in iraq in 2013
the for profit health 'care' and pharmaceutical industry will still be in control
israel will still illegally tear down and murder palestinians to build more illegal settlements
if we're lucky maybe 25% renewable energy by 2025
increased and 'modernized' military and budget
no gay marriage
oh, i think someone mentioned maybe women's health....sorry, i don't see those as any form of steps....well maybe some real tiny insect....

No one has said any candidate is perfect nor has anyone said we thought you viewed your candidate as such. The problem with Obama for some of us is just how faaaar from perfect he really is.
Also, I have changed my mind on issues because of well explained and thought out views on this message board. I'm not so stubborn in my beliefs that I would come on to a political message board and expect people to give my views a listen and take them into consideration if I wasn't going to be doing the exact same thing for their views. There are a few posters on this board who have caught my attention, gave me a lot to think about and actually helped change my views. I appreciate having this outlet available to express and evolve my outlook on this country, the world and life in general. To me, saying that no one will change your mind here is only pointing to a closed one.

I'll just continue being part of that 1 - 10% in the other columns
Who forced you?
As much as it pains me, and hits my pocket, we're not forced to buy gas for our cars by anyone but ourselves...I still wish it was cheaper!!!!
It's statements like this that actually make me consider voting fro him...I am a bit worried to do so, but if you don't like him, he must be ok for me.
shhhhh the ones bitching would have voted republican.....let them sit at home and sulk.
It's nice to know I'm still a part of influencing your decisions, cincy.

In the moment that you left the room, the album started skipping, goodbye to beauty shared with the ones that you love.........
yes, I agree. thanks.
I have been on political threads where we are all freedom of speech unless you disagree, so now I sit it out and only agree with those who have the guts to speak up.

Can we ever talk about something new on this board?
So now your choices are:
Body odor
Jesus Christ
OR
registered nurse.
You do the math.
hahaha
nice
and wouldn't you know it, RN is the only one out there doing real work to help people.

If I opened it now would you not understand?
i guess you could say his boss forced him, if he can't get to work he'd be fired

it shouldn't be about race or sex or anything other than who can do the job to the best of your ideals.
how will obama make the pirce of oil go down and the dollar go up??

wow.
i'd like to see that. endlessly.
He could live within walking distance...or bike, no?
Look, I love to blame things on others as much as the rest of us, but the oil cost, etc is all of our faults and we have control...we just don't want to inconvience ourselves...me included.
Certainly, it could be better...we could actually have a few more refineries for one...
see, now i opened this thread thinking that maybe someone had decided that the bellyaching and whining about barack and his kooky pastors, his church attendance, his facial expressions, his name, his wife, his lapel pin (or lack thereof), his ears... wtfEVER, had become really, really tiresome. but, alas, it's just another bellyaching thread. so much for evolution, baby.

Of course, the reason that won't work is that none of us can agree on what that change should be even if all of us could agree that the government is essentially making no progress on anything other than wasting our tax dollars.
...are those who've helped us.
Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.
