Alot of you support McCain/Palin or Obama/Biden.
I know alot of Members of the Church support McCain/Palin just because of their values and standards...but is that the only reason why you think they'd do a good job? It's a little confusing to me... I have the same values as fellow members of the LDS church but I don't think McCain/Palin are good examples and I think we'd be in a lot of trouble if they were to take over the Whitehouse. McCain is testy and a timebomb ready to explode. Palin is extremely under experienced and quite ignorant. I don't think it's very good to compare yourself to a DOG! Let alone a Pitbull, who's vicious and known to turn on their owners at any given time. She did however hold her own on the VP Debate..but why is she geting more publicity then McCain? Do you think McCain knew this would happen and therefore it'd help his campaign for the extra exposure? I don't like how he's always geeting on his soapbox about being a Prisoner of War. We all know it now. Move on. I too get uncomfortable knowing he's sang songs like, " Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran."
I was scared when he held up a Sharpie and said he'd veto everything that came his way. Where's the balance? We need equalibrium. Not too much right or too much left. BALANCE. Do either candidates demonstrate balance? Um, not really. Can't we get a President who'll put Politics aside and make realistic and bi-partisen decisions? Do I respect McCain and Palin's values? OF COURSE! I feel family values are number ONE and don't supprt Gay Marriage for the sanctity of it being between a man and a woman..which gives the family BALANCE. BUT, do I believe a president and his/her personal beliefs should force a Nation of variety to follow what they follow? Isn't that taking away our Free Agency? And don't you think these Evangelical Christians a bit Extreme? What about Balance? I think Mitt Romney came the closest to this and he unfortuneatly didn't make it. (Some may beg to differ but you have to remember he governed a liberal State and his standpoint on, for example, Abortion, he felt was for the States to decide.) Do you think Domestic oil drilling will help our energy crisis? It will take along time to build pipes in Alaska first and that will only help minisually for a brief period of time. What about the future? What will help us for the Future? Do I think McCain is a good man, sure! And Sarah Palin? Yes! But to run this Country? Noway.
I am very unsure who to vote for in a few weeks...what about you?

Honestly Soosie... I am at a complete loss. I don't know what I'll do. The election seemed so far away... I had a lot of time to decide... here it is less than a month away and I am still lost. I have no idea.
Sometimes you have to go with the lesser of two evils.
Frankly, Obama's ideas of big government (which sounds an awful lot like socialism to me) frighten me. Lesser of two evils is a good way to put it.
When McCain said he'd veto everything, he was talking about bills with excessive spending. And, I don't think Palin is ignorant, she just hasn't had as much press experience.
Agreed that McCain is not the pick most conservatives wanted as President, however, some of your arguements are very weak (domestic drilling, forcing others to live values, free agency, etc.) are nieve and shows you don't really understand.
Free agency is a misused word that we don't have. We have agency which enables us to make decissions and live with the consequences. We are not given freedom in our agency.
And yes, stoping the legitimising of homosexuality IS ALWAYS worthy of the battle. And until any of us are POWs of any war, it is very degrading of our military and the service they give to tell someone who was a POW to "get over it."
I think Palin is a good speaker when it comes to press...but I mean, she even said herself to a certain question that she couldn't answer it, as she's only been studying for 5 weeks. I'm sure she's a nice woman. I just think she is a little impulsive with some the things she says...it's kind of a joke. And about McCain being a POW, saying it once or twice is enough. It was nice to hear at first, than I started ot feel he's repeating it to win the hearts of Americans. And I think he's an angry man because of it. Don't get me wrong, I used to like him a few years ago. But you're right, sometimes you do have to go with the lesser of two evils.
