I have no idea yet. I'm still undecieded. Since I'm 18, this will be my first chance to vote. Some people say its a big responsibility, so I have to pay more attention.
We will certainly be talking about this more in the weeks running up to the Election. Feel free, everybody, to express your views.

For the security of our country, Bush is our better choice........
Thanks man, I appreciate it. 
I do tend to think like you about Bush, that he would be the better protector of the homeland, but again I hate the image he gives to the onlookers throughout the world.
Has anybody seen Fahrenheit 911? I heard that it was okay, but there was a lot of cheap shots at the Prez.

It is a better version of Subway, but I'm not sure about a healthier version though. Jared will tell you to go on his Subway diet. It works, ya know.

...Unlike truly accurate and fair sources of information and opinion, like Fox News. 
Everyone's in the truth distortion game. So why not Michael Moore?
All I know is that our respect and credibility in the world at large has only gone in the toilet since the Bush presidency. And with the way we currently think that the rest of the world doesn't really matter, the seeds of eventual demise for every great, dominant world power in history has been this kind of hubris. And we're not just talking military either -- it's economic as well.
If anything, we've radicalized more and more of the world against us. The Bush administration has been a better recruitment tool for Al Queda than anything Bin Laden could do or say right now. And the majority of world opinion suggests that the U.S.'s tactics have lead to a more dangerous, and not a more secure, world right now.
And who can be held accountable -- and will take responsibility -- for sending hundreds of Americans and thousands of Iraqis to their deaths over a very public premise that was either a boldfaced lie or complete incompetence? I can't imagine any other arena where thousands of people die and billions of dollars are lost over a wrong decision (or worse, a deception) and yet no one loses their job over it... or is even asked to be held accountable for mistakes.
Of course, I have some liberal biases. But I have some very conservative tendencies as well (I'm not sure who hates hippies more -- me, or Eric Cartman). This is the first election in my memory where I've felt there were such moral responsibilities for voters. There is a lot of "ends justify the means" thinking going on now.

Oh -- and Quiznos? I almost punched out the guy in the inflatable Quiznos suit when he blocked my exit from the subway on the way to work yesterday. Quiznos and Subway can duke it out as much as they want. They'll get my business only if my remaining choice for something to eat is some tired formula of cold semi-edibles slapped on slices of bread.
