I understand where your coming from, JD.

For instance, from the man on the street interviews I've seen, to Acorn busing
voters to the polls, there are a lot of people who don't know diddley.

Then there are those that follow a political party like sheep and won't
open their eyes to looking at other candidates or issues no matter what.

However, i think that most people don't have the time trying to work and
raise a family to really know and study the issues. The politicians count
on it knowing if they can throw enough $$$$ on negative TV adds against
their opponent they can win.

In the end, most people vote their own pocketbooks, but thank God
we live in a country where everybody has a right, privilege and obligation to vote.

You're got it exactly.

Voting for President is one of the most important times for this country. I refuse to accept the excuse "I just don't have time to know what's going on." During the last election, it was very easy to find multiple websites that stated what the candidates position was on a large range of subjects, what their voting histories were and what they were campaigning about. This is all the information needed to make the minimum educated vote.

Everyone can put aside 30 minutes the week before an election to learn the facts. All the BS and drama in the months prior does nothing but give us something to talk about on internet forums.

If someone truly can't put aside the time to learn the facts, then they shouldn't vote. Period.
