Where is the country headed?

People are going to vote for the wrong person, because they are uneducated. The sad part is, a lot of people (but not all) have the ability to do their research, but are too lazy. They would rather base their vote and the future of their country on what comes into their inboxes.

I realize the people in this clip are from Harlem. Some may have computers and access to factcheck.org, and others may not. But really, if you are going to vote at all, is there any excuse for not being educated about the candidates first?

For those of you who cannot open the radio link above, I'll summarize. A radio announcer went to Harlem and interviewed people. He asked, "Who are you voting for?" If someone said Obama, he asked how they felt about the issues Obama stood for, attributing McCain's platform to Obama. They said they agreed with those issues, essentially agreeing with McCain. At the end of the interview, they were asked, "If Obama wins, are you ok with having a woman VP? Do you feel that Sarah Palin would do a good job?" They answered yes.

If you don't understand why I posted this or you don't "get" the meaning of the above paragraph, please don't talk to me again until you have educated yourself. I really don't care how you vote, whether Republican, Democrat, or something else. Just don't vote blindly.
