Undecided voters: an anomoly all on their own

The presidential election is just two weeks away. The economy is crashing. We are at war in two different countries. Our educational system is in disarray. Our civil liberties remain in question. Sen. Barack Obama and Sen. John McCain each have very different views on all of these issues. Some of their positions are even polar opposites. If you think their views on the state of America are different just take a look at their domestic husbandry records. Obama has no pets and McCain has 22 of them (yes, really). You see — the candidates cannot agree on anything. Obama is obviously a soulless animal hater, while McCain has a menagerie that would even make Michael Jackson jealous.

The choice between two presidential candidates has rarely in the country’s history been more dramatically different; however, many Americans are still having a difficult time deciding.

Bryan: Some national polls suggest there are currently around 7 percent of voters who fall squarely in the category of “undecided” in the upcoming presidential election. With over two-years of campaigning and the candidate’s stark differences on fundamental issues, how do you explain this phenomenon?

Anthony: People are idiots. I don’t care enough about these alleged undecided voters to care. If they haven’t made up their mind by now, they obviously don’t care that much about the voting process. Those who go to the polls blind deserve to be taken out to the back of the polling location and get their ass kicked for making an uninformed decision.

Those who don’t vote at all should be taken out to the back of where ever they are and get their ass kicked. It is historically these people that bitch and piss and moan that the government isn’t doing its job. “Oh did you vote?” “No. I don’t have time.” Bullshit. There is no excuse anymore for that. I don’t have time for these people. You have three options to vote and two of them give you all of time in the world to vote. So piss off if you don’t vote. I don’t want to hear your voice at all. Suck it up and eat crow for the next four years. Maybe you will learn your lesson then.

Bryan: Those are some harsh words. Does a person making a decision not to vote send a message as well? I agree if you choose not to vote, then you probably shouldn’t complain.

I am trying to get to the bottom of this undecided voter thing. I see them get interviewed on during the debates and have seen other news clips of the undecided’s going on and on about “taking a closer look at the issues” and “getting more informed.” I still don’t get how a person could be undecided at this point. I am hesitant to agree with you, but I think “undecided” may just be a code word for ill-informed idiot. How scary is the notion that this group of folks could decide this election?

Anthony: It’s an excuse of the fearful and lazy. There is plenty of information, no ALL of the information you need to make a decision on which candidate wants to do what. If people say they want more information they think they won’t be grilled for the “decision” they do make, if they decide to, in fact, make one.

Not voting to make a statement: that is crap. The people who say this usually have radical ideas of people running amuck with no rules or government at all. And we wonder why we are in the position we are in today. Nobody cares enough to stand up to their elected officials and tell them they are wrong and the decisions they are making are leading the country down the wrong path.

And if words aren’t enough to have you worried about what impact these undecided voters could have, how ’bout some video to illustrate our point:

So what’s your take? Are the so-called undecided’s just plain stupid or deliberate and uber educated decision-makers?
