Um ... how fucking self-defeating can you be?

Seriously ... your female candidate loses, so instead of getting over it and voting for the next best thing being offered in this particular election to what you wanted, you're going for the senile white guy who wants to stay at war for 100 years, and privatize Social Security (among other things not desirable for minorities or people who earn under $200K a year, I assure you)?

A vote for McCain is a third term for Bush. Your choice. Pass it on.

One of the girls I know online who is probably the most unreasonable person I know, admitted to me that she absolutely hates McCain but she decided he was her back up and she had to stick to that. As she said "it's important to vote, so he'll get mine, but ONLY because Hillary isn't on the ballot."

I'm sorry, but first of all, it's only important to vote if you're voting for a reason and not just to vote. You're hurting the country more by voting for someone you dislike. Second of all, if you supported at Hillary at all, then you owe it to this country to at least look at Obama's plans since they're so completely similar, at least compared to McCain's.

...it makes my head hurt. This is why I have no faith in Americans. Petty, petty, petty.

That's the key, right there: The lesser of two evils. There are things I know McCain stands for that I just can't agree with. Plus, looking at this election from an outsider's POV (i.e., anyone not an American), Obama is the only one of the three who can say: "I didn't vote for this war. I do not approve of this war, nor of the divisive foreign policies the previous administration espoused. I will work to rebuild America's relationships with other countries (because I'm not one who contributed to them being like they are!)."
