Yes, I ...Thanks for dropping by, Angry Independent! Yes, I do indeed remember the story about the majority of Americans thinking we need a third party. I think Americans are also pragmatists and therefore when it comes to voting, they don't vote third party because third parties don't win in a two-party system (by definition...) and that's what American politics is all about. Unless we change what American politics is all about!!! That's why we need reform. And not just reform, we need a new way of doing politics altogether!<BR/><BR/>(And, yes, I thought the cat was funny too!)Nancy Hankshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17428253702914703243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26340222.post-84063353054344319372008-08-26T03:28:00.000-04:002008-08-26T03:28:00.000-04:00Glad I am not the only one with reservations. I am...Glad I am not the only one with reservations. <BR/><BR/>I am still waiting for Obama to define himself and clearly articulate what he plans to do as President... regarding both domestic and foreign policy.<BR/><BR/>I don't think he is going to do this at the Convention. I suspect it will be more grand themes... w/ little substance. <BR/><BR/>I was flirting with voting for the first time this year.... but I can't vote for someone who has not explained his core beliefs or his plans for the country...regarding foreign policy in particular.<BR/><BR/>Regarding independents... there was a survey done either earlier this year or last year that indicated that most Americans believed that a 3rd Party was needed (but no one seemed interested in creating a 3rd Party). I don't know if you remember that article or not. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, I won't be voting for Obama... not this time... but I do hope that McSame is soundly defeated. He scares the crap out of me.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Oh yeah... the cat in the above video was too funny.Brian https://www.blogger.com/profile/07872444863142531165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26340222.post-17622052033489527822008-08-25T23:00:00.000-04:002008-08-25T23:00:00.000-04:00I am an independent voter, and my key concern in t...I am an independent voter, and my key concern in this election is that if we have 4 years with Obama as our president it will be much worse than 8 years with George W.
