I totally agree with you..I did do my research on Obama as I did and do on other candidates and I do wish others would do the same.. The only reason I voted for McCain was because of Sarah Palin..There was no other choice out there at the time other than Obama or McCain.That is the reason McCain did get as many votes as he did I think it was because of Sarah..
I have always liked Palin, but my vote for McCain was more of a vote against Zero. That’s the way I have voted for many years. The Lesser of the two Evils. I hope my vote in 2012 is actually, honestly FOR our candidate.
