FYI: Not everyone who plans to vote Republican in this year's presidential election is stupid. (For that matter, not everyone who plans to vote Democrat is, either.) Will people please STFU with the insults already? Just because someone has different views than you, places different values on certain issues, whatever, does not automatically mean that it's okay to make rude, disparaging comments about them. Doing so makes you look like a jackass.

I'm assuming this means you're voting Republican

You can probably guess I think you guys have your priorities totally out of whack^*, but I've tried not to insult the Republican voters (as opposed to their politicians) and I'm going to keep trying harder.

(But then, unless something has changed, most of my mom's family--though not Mom--will be voting Republican. And they're good people and not stupid.)

^*And I'm going to guess you guys think the same of my side.

I usually vote Democratic--I placed a Ladbrokes bet on Clinton to win and stood outside in the dark for hours waiting to shake Al Gore's hand--but I just have too many reservations about Obama/Biden to go with them. OTOH, though I like McCain himself, I don't support a lot of his positions. So I probably won't vote.

I snapped tonight and made this post because I saw one too many "you must be stupid if you vote for McCain" comments. My grandmother is voting for him. So are a few of my friends.
