[olug] OT: evil poll

[Craig Wolf]

I firmly believe that this country is going to hell in a hand basket quickly.  I have started to consider what other country in the world I could handle living in because of the direction we are headed.  Don't get me wrong, I love my country, I did 10 years in the military, and maintain my flag on my house BUT I do NOT believe the the rich leaders we have, have us in their hearts.  I see power hungry, greedy individuals that just need me for one day every 4 years to get their rocks off.  That includes BOTH parties. 

I am putting my vote where my mind and heart tell me is someone that would treat us better, or at least with more respect.  If I wanted to live in a communist country I would move REALLY far east to a Russian area (so, extreme on the Democratic side).  If I wanted to live in a Nationalist country...hmmmm, still moving east I guess (extreme Republican side).  I just want to live my life without the interference of a govt. that could care less about me then they care about how many taxes they can suck out of me and grow a bureaucratic mess.

I am just tired of the asses and fat animals in general.  Put someone else in their and make the 2 parties consider what is REALLY important to the life blood of this country and not what is going to get them elected.

It matched me about 80% with  Bob Barr which didn't surprise me much.  I 
am surprised at the lack of Obama support on the list though.  The tech 
field usually tends so far to the left.

For those not voting for McCain or Obama, I'm curious about your 
reasoning.  Obviously your candidate will not win, do you still vote for 
them because you are trying to send a message to those running for 
office that there is support for their ideas or do you refuse to vote 
for someone you don't support?

For the record I'm voting McCain.
