This Is Totally Unfair Of Me...
... but I'm allowing my un-decidedness to be negatively influenced by the zealot supporters of certain candidates. I know that's wrong and I'm doing myself and the candidates a DISSERVICE.

I should probably spend more time at the candidate web sites instead of the GD2004 forum. (I kind of wish I had voted for the "Positive Only" alternate forum now. Sigh.)

1. I'm also undecided,
although I'm leaning toward Kerry or Clark, and I know what you mean. I used to lean toward Dean, but I'm not so sure anymore. But anything can happen!

2. I've done that with this campaign, with musical acts and other things.
Usually to my detriment. I'm REALLY trying to be open-minded and shut out all the unnecessary clutter. I avoid GD2004 like the plague. That place isn't going to help me forumlate my plans for whom to cast my vote.

4. True, though I find that reading some of the things........
that people say about various candidates gets me thinking down avenues that I may not have dicovered on my own.

3. You can post "positive" posts only if that is what you want to do

5. I hear you. La Rouche supporters are downright nasty
:evilgrin:

I read the posted articles and mostly disregard the oneline posts. If someone has an article rebutting the facts, I read that too and just ignore the posts themselves.

I could easily support Kerry, Clark, Kucinich, Edwards and Dean. I have my concerns about each of them, but NONE of them concern me as much as 4 more years of armageddon man.

6. Go here...
www.vote-smart.org

It is a nonpartisan/nonprofit group founded by Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford, that provids straight forward info on candidates.

You can find out their voting record, what ratings various advocacy groups give them, etc.

I have always found it to be an invaluable resource.

If I voted solely based on the attitude of certain supporters/posters here, I'd be voting third party. :)

7. You're undecided now
So what are you gonna do?

First you say you do
And then you don't
And then you say you will
And then you won't
You're undecided now
So what are you gonna do?
Now you want to play
And then it's no
And when you say you'll stay
That's when you go
You're undecided now
So what are you gonna do?
I've been sitting on a fence
And it doesn't make much sense
'Cause you keep me in suspense
And you know it
Then you promise to return
When you don't
I really burn
Well, I guess I'll never learn
And I show it
If you've got a heart
And if you're kind
Then don't keep us apart
Make up your mind
You're undecided now
So what are you gonna do?
