If anyone knows of anywhere that is taking applications for a pundit, would you please point me there? Because I have decided that I would make an awesome pundit

When I first heard Palin was chosen, I was cheering--"Woo, the republicans have FINALLY chosen someone who isn't an Old White Guy!!" I even considered voting for her (um, I mean, voting for McCain), until I did a bit more research. UGH. She is the embodyment of all those chicks who have picked on me most of my life. And she's a former beauty pagent queen who married a jock. VOMIT!
I am going to do a "throw away" vote this election. I don't like Obama. I think he'll win, and he will probably do some good for the country, but he will also push us further towards socialism, and I HATE that. (Hello? We want the government handling healthcare? The same government that handles education and social security??! No thank you! Plus, look at the dismal health care in socialist countries.)
Actually, people who I've talked to who live in other countries specifically say that they'd never want to live in the US because of our lack of universal health care. Find a few on the internet and ask them if you don't believe me. We're the only first world country that doesn't have it, and I've heard people in other countries say that they consider us barbaric because of it

I know a lot of people who are in the middle ground, not poor enough to get government health insurance, but not wealthy enough to pay for their own. Most of these people are students, or working retail. (Or both.) They're paying their rent and buying food okay, but they couldn't afford an extra $200/month, or whatever they'd be forced to pay. You -can- get a modicum of health insurance pretty cheap, but it's not going to cover more than the basics. If you need medication for something, for example, the co-pay is usually pretty high, and a lot of things aren't covered

I don't know why people keep saying that about abortion. Right now, there is a one justice advantage in terms of overturning it. McCain and Palin have both stated that their goal is to get it overturned, and while I think McCain is probably neutral on the issue, Palin is all for it. And McCain, who probably doesn't feel very strongly either way, is sure to see the benefit to his political career in doing something that will make him a living legend and forever hero in the eyes of the religious right

Roe vs Wade. I am perhaps behing naive, but I don't think they CAN overturn it. They may talk about it, say they're pro-life, etc, but all the protesting and other Republican presidents and congresses haven't gotten rid of Roe vs Wade, so I don't think McCain can either.
I am curious what you like about Obama.
I am, as yet, undecided in the upcoming election, mostly because I can't stand either party's candidate.

We'll have to "agree to disagree" on abortion--I think it's all talk, they couldn't possibly overturn R -v- W.
