    Oh it wasn't directed at you. It was more meant as a rant in regards to the quoted text I posted in my first post.

    Frankly, I couldn't care less if Obama's name were Adolf Hussein Obama or John Edwards were Mohandas Karamchand Edwards or if Hillary were Agnes Gonxha Clinton. It wouldn't sway me one way or another. It's a name, and they didn't choose it. I have no right to judge them for it. That's just my overall feeling about the whole not-voting-because-of-a-name thing. It wasn't meant to target you out. I guess it was more of a rant about this thing in general.

    Hey, I didn't post so people would jump all over me about what I said. And just because I don't update myself on political crap doesn't mean I'm lazy. It just means that I don't give a crap about politics or any of the stuff that goes with it. It's very boring to me and when the debates are on, I watch a movie. I really have no idea who's actually running for president (besides Obama and Clinton) and I really don't care. America isn't all it's cracked up to be (no, I'm not anti-American) In my parts the systems work a little backwards and people (important people) that other people think they can trust end up hurting everyone (on purpose)
    I don't trust people anymore, I don't trust the presidential canditates, so I don't vote. And I don't plan on complaining about whatever president is chosen.

    Sorry to wander off, but, that part made me lol in your general direction.

    That's ok. I just know sometimes things get read in a different manner in text than was intended by the poster and there are some people that do get rather easily upset online. I was just trying to smooth any ruffled feathers. NP
