At this point...

At this point I am still unsure which way my ballot will go in November. Despite some who think I have chosen McCain I have not made any decision at all. I am simply weighing the pros and cons of both tickets. The problem is I have more I don't like about Obama, the top of the democratic ticket, than I do about McCain. The problem is I don't like Biden at all and never liked him from the start and feel Obama's first executive decision was a poor one. Remember this is the guy who made the comment "you can't go into a 7-11 unless you have a slight Indian accent." So he has established himself as a bigot. In 1987 he was forced to pull out of the presidential race due to allegations of plagiarism. Yet Obama chose him. Hmmmmm.....

While I don't agree with a lot of what Palin brings to the table, she does bring a gutsy take no guff attitude and does impress me with her sticking with her beliefs regardless of popular polls. She doesn't sway on the issues like the others. So, far none of the candidates has my confidence. So, I will keep weighing the issues and remind myself of the belief's of the real Native Americans - every decision we make we should weigh how it will affect the next seven generations. Too many are only concerned with how we will affect "me" or "I" but now about the generations to come. Maybe that's why it's called the NOW generation. It's still awhile to November so I will keep listening, keep mulling over the issues, and when I walk in that booth it will be my personal vote and no one elses business.

If you want all the reasons why you shouldn't vote for Palin go to my sister's blog.

In the meantime, yes, the scales are leaning towards McCain, but nothing is etched in stone. So, I'll keep those scales out for weighing in on the issues! It aint over until the fat lady sings...and I'm still warming up my vocal chords.

I don't particularly like Biden either but I seem to remember a certain sister who said that I shouldn't care about Palin (a much, much, much worse VP choice than Biden in my book) because she is not running for President. I think both made poor choices, but as you pointed out, the VPs are not running for President.
