Well said. That's my line of reasoning as well. One of my new roommates is a huge political junkie, so I've recently become more aware of the current presidential race. And Goddamn do I think McCain is full of shit. Sarah Palin is worse. The entire Republican National Convention was a complete joke. It reached a level of parody rivaled only by Stephen Colbert.

I don't think I'll vote though. I don't want to feel responsible for voting in a candidate I know next to nothing about and have no intention of defending. I love Obama's plan for National Health Care, but I don't see too much else in his policies that attract me. I don't want to vote for the guy I'm indifferent about just to keep the shitheads out of office.
