"I would love to have a real conversation with someone who is un-decided"
After reading your listing, I would love to accept that challenge.
Pilot scam alert.
The only way to be fair is to find an undecided voter who has either never voted before, or find one with a history that votes for BOTH dems and republicans. How can you claim a voter is undecided if they always vote for democrats or republicans? Since the Pilot is clearly biased in favor of democrats, I can already see the writing on the wall. The Pilot is going to claim that they have selected a panel of undecided voters but it will be clear that the majority of these so-called undecided voters after the debate will overwhelmingly be for the democrat. I know how the scam works. The fix is in. Furthermore, how can anyone with a brain possibly be undecided at this point? Make up your minds: you are either for or against higher taxes, abortion, a nanny welfare state that gives entitlements to people from cradle to grave, smaller gov't, the 2nd amendment, socialist healthcare, surrendering to our enem
Undecided
"Undecided" is a category that people get lumped into when they don't support D's or R's.
Last I checked, the Constitution doesn't require a D or an R to occupy the White House. Why should I have to choose between only those two?
How many millions of U.S. citizens are constitutionally eligable for the office? And we're being forced to decide between these two jacklegs?
Libertarians...
Always good for a laugh.
How about mentioning Ralph
How about mentioning Ralph Nader, Bob Barr, or Chuck Baldwin? Its time for real change, a third party candidate as president.
UNDECIDED
HEY here is a good idea what if the press were fair and reported instead of putting their personal choices into the mix. What if people were smart enough to make up ther own minds by doing a little listening and reading. ( because voter are generally uninformed and a little on the lazy side, that will never happen)
What if you did not have a campaign that lasted 3 years. What if we all take a deep breath and cast our votes and whoever wins wins. I doubt ther will be any real change people, money talks and right now it is not talking. All the promises about tax cuts and helping this and doing that are out the window because the good old USA is broke. Both Dems. and Reps. have done a good job in up everything, they cannot point the finger at each other instead both parties should take a bow on that point.
So marjorie
...are you saying if Obama does not get elected is because of racism? I'm sure thats what will happen.
How can one be undecided?
The question flabbergasts me!
Can't speak for others, but my reason is that neither McCain nor Obama are people I would trust to be President of the United States. I will not vote for either, but am going to choose one of the third party candidates, whether on the ballot or not. My leanings are toward either Bob Barr or Ron Paul as write ins if necessary. Still, there are many researching and thinking processes for me to go through.
Once again, I recommend to you all: http://www.vote-smart.org
Why just these two Senators?
The major candidates running for POTUS are Charles Baldwin, Bob Barr, John McCain, Cynthia McKinney, Ralph Nader, and Barack Obama. To date, just two of these candidates are on the Virginia ballot. Why?
Undecided? Yes, I am. Although I favor one of these, I have until November 4 to make a final decision. I cast my vote for a candidate based upon reasoning, not with emotion.
Not really
Hardly. The candidates are almost identical as they have been year after year. The only real difference is the flavor of the rhetoric. The consistent close elections is due to the law of averages and a large number of people making a random selection.
A Wide Chasm
I'm not sure why there are people who are still undecided. The difference between the candidates is like night and day. None of their policies is even close to each other. The decisions, the experiences and the past record of the two are far apart.
This tells me it is a personality contest among undecided voters or who makes them "feel" better than it is a policy decision. Surely their records and their stands have given voters more than enough information to make a reasoned choice.
Questions for Questions
What if John McCain disqualified his candidates to run unopposed?
What if Barack Obama didn’t bring home pork in his legislation?
What if McCain’s wife was only “now” proud of our country?
What if Obama served a single day in the military?
What if McCain voted “Present” 70% of the time he was in congress?
What if Obama had to speak in a Town Hall debate?
If these questions reflected reality, do you really believe that anyone would be un-decided -- What does this have to do with racism?
Absolutely NOTHING!
Where do you want to fight the war on terror? NYC? DC? LA?
These people in here are obviously biased...
I've not seen a single UNBIASED comment
How Can Anyone Be Un-decided
What if John McCain were a former president of the Harvard Law Review?
What if Barack Obama finished fifth from the bottom of his graduating class?
What if McCain were still married to the first woman he said "I DO" to?
What if Obama were the candidate who left his first wife after she no longer measured up to his standards?
What if Michelle Obama were a wife who not only became addicted to pain killers, but acquired them illegally through her charitable organization?
What if Cindy McCain graduated from Harvard?
What if Obama were a member of the "Keating 5"?
What if McCain was a charismatic, eloquent speaker?
If these questions reflected reality, do you really believe that anyone would be un-decided -- This is what racism does.
It covers up, rationalizes and minimizes positive qualities in one candidate and emphasizes negative qualities in another when there is a color difference.
I would love to have a real conversation with someone who is un-decided
I doubt this will work
We all know this will not work so why bother,, McCain and Obama supports will lie to make thier man look better.. so why bother no one here has the intregity to be truthful.. we all can tell whom Fox New supports and Whom the Pilot supports No form of news is without biais.
Undecided voters?
If someone is undecided who to vote for after the past eight years of garbage Americans have been fed they need their head(s) examined not a debate.
