phiphi – At first I thought you were inviting Sarah Palin to Canada.. LOL.
Can you take the Palin instead?
———————————————————————————————

@ginnie, haha….Sarah Palin can stay in the US to keep McCain companied.
We’ll do just fine without her in Canada. I do hope Obama win this election and looks like he heading right down to the White House soon.

After eletion here in Canada, we wasted milion dollars of tax payers’ hard earned money just to go back to status quo. Our Prime Minister was dreaming too much!

I went over my ballot today. Wow. I didn’t realize so many people were running for president. I mean, I expected Ralph Nader, but I haven’t even heard of these other people. Have they been on the news? Are they campaigning somewhere? Bet they’re using those public funds.

Okay, I did think of one good thing about the economy — it created a new topic for the candidates to sound stupid about. Everything else was just a rehash of the past 3, maybe 4 elections. Small wonder we’re all so tired of this. And I agree, Palin was a big mistake. She is no Hillary Clinton, if that’s what they were hoping for.

*sigh* voting. All I hear people talking about are prop 8 or the presidential election these days. I’m not quite old enough to vote =[

Palin’s voice drives me crazy.
I will be dancing in the streets with the rest of the world when Barack becomes president.

It is my 1st year voting, too! I am excited but I am actually torn between the major parties plus their running mates are not that impressive. With all this election talk and crappy economy, I don’t even want to think I Christmas. I work for State and we’re not getting a raise this year. SO.. while groceries go up in prices and the holidays are around the corner, I am broke. I just want to enjoy Halloween.

I love Saves the Day! “Through Being Cool” is their best work. If we want to go back to the good emo days, I’d mention the GetUpKids, “Letters to Write Home About.”

I guess I wasn’t the only person that considered relocating to Canada.
I think I would be content living there cuz I’m not really into shopping.
The problem is how to get a job there… well hopefully I won’t have to relocate

Christmas? What Christmas? Who’s thinking about Christmas already?
We can’t have Christmas until we have our Thanksgiving! And how can we have Thanksgiving in time like this? Sigh… It just gets harder to be grateful when you get older but not richer (hmm, even poorer?) : 0) Oh, well, it’s time to watch K-dramas and forget about this mess. And thanks epyc, I’m going to watch Lawyers now.

@katwoman, “I figure if you are still on the fence about who you’re voting for at this point in time, you’re probably hung up on the color issue. If he were pure white, you would have decided by now.”

Uhm. Wow. I can’t say that the ‘color issue’ is what [personally] has me hung up at this point. For me it’s that neither of my choices is all that satisfactory, so I’m still trying to decide where I should make compromises in my opinions. Believe it or not, color isn’t a huge factor for everyone. “If he were pure white” I’d still have the same issue I have right now, because when it comes down to it, for me (and a lot of people I know), color doesn’t have anything to do with this. You really shouldn’t make stupid assumptions like that, because color doesn’t occupy everyone’s mind like it seems to yours, and comments like that can be taken as offensive.
