In my opinion, a large percentage of Americans voters are dumb. In a recent interview aired on World News Tonight, a woman was touting her support for McCain and Palin and how she loves Palin. She was then asked "Do you know what she stands for?" The woman replied, "No." It's this kind of blind following that is really troubling to me. Is America going to once again vote Republican because Americans were too stupid to understand who stands for what? It is the duty of American citizens to be at least somewhat informed about the issues so that when they cast their votes they will truly mean something.
I'm not saying that I know all the issues...I certainly do not. But at least I'm not out there shouting "OBAMA! OBAMA!" without knowing what "OBAMA!" really means. I "Don't want to be an American Idiot."

Sarah Palin
Is Sarah Palin a good choice for VP? I say "NO!" Picking her was purely a political stunt to gain support of all the emotional and ignorant people in America. What if McCain dies and she becomes the President? She doesn't have the leadership skills, the values, the experience needed to run the country. The only reason Republicans love her is because she's like the "woman next door" and that she has a pretty face and decent personality. That's one of the main reasons Bush was elected...people saw him as a regular Joe and decided to go with him. Look what happened...America has gone the wrong direction for 8 years.
