Jack, While I understand your concerns, I do not think calling someone lazy due to their unwilling to vote for Obama is fair. Stating that one is a shallow thinker or saying if you vote for this party then you are not a citizen again is unfair. Sometimes a person is more comfortable with the same rather than the unknown. While I do not know if McCain would be exactly the same, there are several things that make me a bit uneasy about Obama. He has friends on the extreme left, he has said that Iran is a small country and we don’t need to worry about them, and his plans to cut the military funds at this time all makes me uneasy. I have not made my final pick yet because there is so much more that we need to learn. While Obama says he will cut taxes and increase healthcare, I need to know how this will be paid for. This should all be addressed in the debates and after I will make an informed decision. You mentioned how FOX ran commercials during the Gore address. I noticed that too and flipped to CNN but it was the same speech everyone else was giving. I did not find that unbalanced since Gore is not running for office and as far as we know has not been named to join the administration. When Obama made his first trip to Iraq a few months ago, all 3 major networks traveled with him as if he was already in office. I found this unfair since McCain has gone there several times and these trips were not escorted by the top anchors on the major networks or even reported. I will tell you that I voted for change when we got a new majority congress and I have been completely unhappy. Pelosi made so many promises about what will be done in the first 100 days and I have yet to see some action. I felt the need to respond to your post since you asked, but I think we would be better off keeping this message board focused on Asbury Park.

I hope you are proud of your post. I'm confident that you will vote on the party line instead of the thinking one. Votes like yours will keep this country continuing to go downhill. This just shows that you are lazy in your support of America, and you want to continue along the path that GW and company blazed for the past 8 years. Good for you. You appear to be one of those shallow thinkers that are helping to run our nation into the ground. That's something for you NOT to be proud of. But, it's more important for you to be a republican then be a citizen of a county. Lame, in my opinion. By the way, the network that you've defended in the past, Fox news, spent the entire time that Al Gore was giving a speech on commercials. Explain how that is fair and balanced? No other candidate has the balls to say "This isn't about me, it's about you" Obviously in your world you can't see that.

Every one of their time-honored shibboleths have failed. Trickle down? Failed. Tax cuts energize the economy? Huge failure. The government serves no purpose and must be "drowned in a bathtub"?
