It's getting down to the wire. I've heard again and again...we have no good choices for the Presidential election. But let me ask you this...do we EVER have a good choice really? As long as I can remember, it's been choosing the better of the two and not necessarily the best. Abraham Lincoln would be rolling over in his grave...or maybe he already is at this point. Look, if you can't decide...strip it down to the bare issues. I know we like to throw emotions into it or that "can't quite put your finger on" women's intuition...he's an old, old man or the other guy looks and sounds like a terrorist and can't be trusted and that kind of cr*p...let's break it down to the very basics.
This website does a pretty good job of letting you choose how you stand on a variety of issues..and yes, I was a bit confused too after this last debate...why do they keep changing things around or at least seeming to confuse us? Anyway, go to Glass Booth and answer the questions honestly. It'll tell you at the end who most aligns with your values and beliefs. In the end, that's what's most important. Now if you're one of those REALLY lucky people who has a sixth sense, then use that in your decision making...especially if it hasn't failed you yet. Me, I'm not that lucky and will go back to the basics. Looks like I align 71% with one of the candidates. It's a good thing that's who I picked on my absentee ballot! If you are overseas and haven't voted yet, please see your unit's voting assistance officer! Even though the deadline of timely arrival has passed, please still send in your vote. It still may make it in time.
