    I mean no offense QD, but this is how it comes across to me. Take a step back and look at what you're saying, man. This doesn't make you any better than the rednecks, it brings you down to their level. Don't vote for Obama because he's black, educate yourself and vote because you agree with his policies. An old man like yourself should be past this rebellious stage.
    but heres the thing...

    i get where you're coming from but isnt the man entitled to his own opinion or reason for voting for who he sees fit?

    everyone has there specific reasons for choosing whichever candidate. at least people are exercising their right.

    there are a large amount of people that just arent that into politics. Politics dont have to be on everyones mind 24/7 like some of these Nazi's here.
    for those people that have lives outside of politics they have their own "not so worthy" reasons. some folks vote because of the candidates character or even good looks!
    hell... when they campaign they go to some of the most remote places in America getting hands on with regular folk. they get the regular folks to vote and their reason may simply be because he or she took the time to come to their trailer and shake their hand.

    my point is... EVERYONE has their own reasons. it may seem like ignorance to some but just because someone isnt as politically versed as yourself doesnt mean you can rag on them excercising their right to vote.
    it would seriously suck if only the anal politic lovin' citizens voted.


    i dont know if i made any sense...

    i think i started to ramble. being hungover is for the birds

    I hear you on this, but you can't criticize someone's actions and then imitate them in the opposite direction. QD calls them stupid, white trash and "political experts" and then does the exact same thing they're doing but checks the Obama box instead...

    I don't know where all of you get the idea that the president makes the rules. Remember we have a LIBERAL-weighted congress.

    um congress would not make this ruling ... and most of the justices are republican optioned. you obviously don't understand how this works. roe/wade is only 30-35 years old. republicans have been pushing for the past decade to make it a state decision.

    Scalia has gone on the record numerous times that the constitution does not support abortion. Most important power decision a president can make is appointing justices.
