Americans -- Are we really that stupid?

Seems like a reasonable enough question.

Stay tuned until November 5 to find out.

What's the margin of error on that?

I think once you factor in the e-voting, you'll see the margin of error is like +/-30%.

I disagree on that statement. I voted early and I voted based on my reps voting record. I did not vote McCain or Obama. I will never vote for any candidate who votes to take our 2nd amendment right away and they both did.

While Obama has his voting record on his website McCain does not. So it took me a little bit of searching to find it but I did.

BOTH of them voted for the ban on assault weapons and to me, if you take one. How long before you take them all? Neither got my vote.

yes in the 2 years that they have not down much it's their fault, it doesn't matter the problem was loaded and ready to go when they took majority.

McCain has said the economy is not his strong point
