How can anyone still be undecided at this point?
I mean, seriously. I always know well ahead of time who I'm going to vote for in any election.

This year it's pretty darn simple - don't like Kerry but hate Bush and want to seriously vote? Vote for Kerry

Love Bush? Vote for Bush.

Think Bush is okay but not sure about Kerry? Vote for Bush.

Hate Bush, hate Nadar? Vote Kerry.

What is the major problem here? I don't understand how people can still be undecided at this point.

1. I agree

With the strong personality of Bush and his NeoCon ideas, what is not to hate?

I could understand it if we had two nicey,nicey candidates but we don't,

In my mind any body that is undecided right now is probably going to vote for Bush when they get to the polls. They are just afraid to let people know how stupid they really are about this election.

3. some people are not paying attention
I had a visit from a friend this weekend. After telling me that one of his other friends has anti-Bush bumper stickers I started to trash Bush and his administration...he interrupted me asking me to explain what I mean with "right" or "left" and which party is what

:shrug:

He said he is not following the debate and he just isn't politically involved. Some people are so pre-occupied with their own lives that they just don't give a sh*t about what is going on here in America or in the world.

4. I think it's not so much undecided voters

as it is people who have never or rarely voted having someone get them fired up enough to get to the polls. I was plain old politically lazy for most of my life. Didn't even know where you went to register to vote. It was BUSH the first who brought me to the ballot box. For some reason, I could not stand that man. Now he seems like a nice guy compared to his devil spawn Jeb( gov of my state:puke: ) and his evil twin Georgie. God, to think that a good chunk of my life could possibly be under the power of the revolting, nausea inducing Bush family is almost too much to bear. There are already rumors of Jeb being groomed for 2008, although I can't really see that happening. But, I never thought Georgie would ever be president either.

I'm going to try and get a couple of my elderly neighbors to the polls or at least help them with their absentee ballots. But, like the young lady in the peace march said yesterday. "I'm from Florida, so my vote doesn't count. So I thought I would at least make it to the march."

Right on, sister.

7. Well, tandot

my step-brother who is a die hard Republican, and someone that for years I had little "fun" fights about politics, you know, just little jabs here and there then a laugh, JUST mentioned to me again in an instant message that people in Florida don't deserve to vote because they don't know how. Honestly, I think that's the last time I will speak to him. Electronically or any other way. I always knew that he wasn't the smartest guy around. Now I realize his type of ignorance is going to cause a lot of trouble in this world.

6. And those people amaze me
Those and the ones who say, "I think I'll just vote for Nader."

Gripes my goat, I tell you.
