If you're still "undecided" less than a week before the election, I'm sorry, but you're too stupid to vote. After all, it's not like you haven't had time to check out the candidates. Barak Obama announced his candidacy almost TWO YEARS ago - John McCain somewhat later. You've had ample time to research their past and present public statements, look up what their friends and enemies alike say about them - in other words, you've had plenty of time to do the "due diligence" that we, as your fellow citizens, have a right to expect of you.
You've also had all the resources of the modern world available to you: the Internet, talk radio, newspapers, not to mention the major networks (OK, they're in the tank for Obama, but even that is useful information). So, what in the name of the Constitution are you waiting for? A lightning bolt from heaven a la St. Paul? A clue from tomorrow morning's horoscope?
Sorry, but if you are STILL not able to make up your mind at this stage of the game, you should do us all a favor and stay home. Not just for this election, but from now on.
Ditto the legions of utterly uninformed voters. Like moronic college students, those Obamamaniacs who thought that Roe v. Wade was an "Ultimate Fighting match-up" and who, when asked who Karl Marx was, replied "one of that Groucho guy's brothers?"
Basically, I've had it with the populist vomit about how "every vote should count." No, every vote should NOT count. Every vote by a legal, verified, INFORMED citizen should count.
If you don't know in what century the Civil War occurred, if you don't know who the governor of your own state is, if you don't understand that the role of the Supreme Court is to act as a neutral umpire and not to "help out the little guy" then NO, you should not be allowed to pollute the voting pool with what amounts to little more than your electoral feces.
I know, I know, some liberal nitwit will howl about "equal rights" yadda, yadda, yadda - but I've always found it interesting how liberals think everyone should have equal influence at the ballot box no matter how much they TAKE from society, yet they have no problem at all UNequally taxing those who produce the most FOR society. Seems I recall something about "taxation without representation" being at the root of our country's founding...
So, all you undecided, and/or uninformed voters, how about you just get it over with and flip a coin - it's likely to yield a more intelligent choice than the one YOU come up with...still agonizing while standing in the voting booth.
