Answer The Damn Question

Reasons NOT to vote for McCain and Palin:

• I'm not sure I can put up with another 4 years of someone pronouncing it "nu-cu-lar" - I can blame a lot of things on Palin's Alaska accent, but joining Bush in pronouncing it incorrect is probably more ignorance, not accent
• Yeah, I'm used to a Vice President not answering questions (Cheney disappears or gets things crossed out when the trouble arrives) but at some point it has to stop. Thursday night, Palin averaged about 20% in coming close to answering the questions she was asked.
• I want a president that knows how to use email. Obama has a blackberry (yeah, it's nerdy, but it's the way most people operate in 2008), McCain doesn't know how to use email. My grandmother is an email expert and reads my blog daily. To me, she's more qualified than McCain.
  
• I'm tired of hearing about "the Maverick" and "the Hockey Mom". That's not who I need to run my country.
• I was shocked to hear that the problems with the polar ice caps melting are "cyclical". Um..... seriously? What planet did you grow up on? Thankfully, I was relieved that Joe knew where the problem was.
• Gas prices are $3.20 something per my "daily gas price" email from Ames. That should not be a sense of relief, but further proof that we need an alternate solution. I want a president that uses innovation in energy as a potential growth for the US. Which side do you think is going to give us that?
• Using your experience as Mayor in Alaska as training for VP is like stating "When I worked as a waitress at Hooters, I learned how Corporate America worked so I should be CFO".
  
• Obama and Biden aren't afraid to admit when they aren't in 100% agreement. But I see them as able to consult people who know. Bush never had that, he was the "Decider". I didn't hear Palin state anything but "I agree with John McCain". Is she a VP or a robot?
• A "shoutout" to 3rd Graders? Seriously? Is she running for VP of PTA or USA?
  

You can agree or disagree with me - don't really care at this point. These are just my thoughts after watching the VP debate. Sorry, I did not get much of the Presidential debate last week. You know my mind has been made up for a while now anyway;)

We have SPORTS DAY tomorrow here in Taipei for our work event. I am signed up for Tug-O-War and I'm ready to win. We're limited to a certain number of people - I figure I count for at least 2 people in size:) When you have THE BIGGEST MAN IN TAIWAN on your side, you can't lose.

Sunday is either Go To The Beach Day, or Avoid Another Typhoon Day. Stay tuned.....
