If You're Not Informed, You Probably Shouldn't Help Decide Our Next President

I'm really irritated/annoyed/irked when I ask someone who they're going to vote for President, or if they've watched the latest debate, or if they agree with Obama and McCain's policies or if they like Palin or Biden better... and they have no clue. They didn't watch the debate. They don't go online and read about the issues. They aren't involved. They don't know Sarah Palin is Alaska's Governor. They don't know Joe Biden is from Delaware. Geez, people! Get it together!

If you don't know about each candidate, then you shouldn't vote.

There's still time to repent. Go watch all the debates online. Go online to each candidate's website and read about their policies and what issues are important to them. Form your own opinions. Don't parrot what you hear on FOX News or CNN. As my new employer would say, Just Do It.

Read about McCain and Palin here.

Read about Obama and Biden here.

Go! Run! Hurry!

(If you're computer illiterate, email me and I will help you find the debates online.)

7 people have something to say about this:

TOTALLY agree! I'm completely undecided still because everytime I DO read something or hear someone say something, I am swayed the other way!

I think they should have an IQ test at the voting booth.

"If you're computer illiterate," she writes on her blog, "email me ..." Hmmm.

Amen and Amen. I'm sick of trying to discuss politics with people who have no idea how to vote because they don't know anything about the candidates.

I completely agree. I've watched enough to understand their policies. It is nice to live in a state where every vote counts.

I voted yesterday, even though it cost me a freakin 16.50 to overnight my ballot to colorado. so worth it though because colorado is a swing state and i want my vote to count!!! I think it is especially annoying when people are ignorant and then talk like they know something. Ahhhh Anyone who is informed and understands the true state of our economy and knows what the candidates' policies are and how they will affect us, knows who the best candidate is
