Can We Refer To Fence-Sitters As Splinter-Asses From Now On?
Ok, the final debate is over and people - I'd say miraculously - still can't figure out who they are going to vote for. No offense, but you people are morons. Poop or get off the pot already. If you can't make up your mind, it's because you are waiting to be spoon fed a decision by some dramatic Hollywood climax that reveals the truth to you. Which is retarded (in the grammar school sense of being a total moron).

These people are either yanking our chains or have been yanking their own chain for too long. You are no longer fence-sitters. I dub thee "Splinter-Asses."

2. There was an "undecided" on the radio this AM...and I quote," You
know, everyday I pull out my absentee ballot ready to make the mark...and then I find myself saying...I just don't know." It's attention grabbing BS. Do eeny meeny for creeper's sakes, if you really think they're that evenly matched. :eyes:

3. culture of blissful ignorance - typical American
These people basically don't want to educate themselves on anything. They want to watch the election like it is a TV show, where all their answers will be served up to them like fast food. Also, they like the attention.

I saw the CNN focus group thing, and the undecideds were saying very earnestly "I'm waiting to here more ." I was yelling at the screen, "Get off your lazy ass and go to johnkerry.com !"

For crying out loud, all of the information is easily accessible. Go to the public library if you don't have a computer or internet access. Geez, it's not that hard. Learn the difference between the parties - issue specifics and personality traits don't matter that much anyway in the grand scheme of things. From my experience with new voters and swing voters, when they learn the basic differences between a conservative and a liberal the issues usually don't seem so complex for them anymore.

4. Ask some of these splinter asses where the boy king was whilst
John Kerry was busting Reagan and Bush I over Iran Contra....

http://www.conspiracyplanet.com/channel.cfm?channelid=43&contentid=1519&page=2
John Kerry & The Bush Cabal Iran-Contra Conspiracy (continued)
by CONSPIRACY PLANET
>>"His general counsel Jeff Goldstein told me at that time that, despite many of the senior Democratic committee members that wanted to go there, so to speak, Kerry did not want to touch this issue of CIA narcotic trafficking. He felt that it was a divisive issue. He felt that the majority of the American people wouldn’t believe it.

"Was he quietly threatened? No, I don’t think so. What I believe is that Kerry did have a pretty good understanding of the situation, the bigger picture; that is, had he really acted to expose all of Iran-Contra, the fraud, the illicit weapons, the narcotics, the American people would have gotten too much.<<
