McCain or Obama, whom shall it be?
I guess in November that we will all see,
One is a liberal, the other quite old,
As old as Methusela, McCain is I'm told,
Obama the newbie, experienced he's not,
The choices we have, do not seem too hot,
Donkey or Elephant, how will it go?
It's all so confusing, I simply don't know,
Which one to vote for, I trust neither one,
To be a great president, to get the job done,
I can't get excited, I'm just not aroused,
I am at a loss, I haven't been "Wows'ed!"
There is only one thing that I know at this junction,
That I am a suffering, from electile disfunction.

I wish a little PiP Blue Pill would solve the problem ... I believe most of us are in the same boat.

Balladeer has as much experience as Obama and I feel as old as McCain.

As a Canadian, I of course I have no vote, but I would like to point out that Lincoln, Roosevelt and Jefferson had little experience. Look at the presidents they became!
I would choose wisdom anyday!


As to the poem, a delightfully witty sonnet!

You're exactly right, but you may want to read up on the "experience" all these folks had..not just militarily, but life experience...and, none were involved or associated with the likes of one of our candidates....and wisdom?...Yea, you're right...John McCain has alot of that...non rehearsed!!!

Yo Tim,

There is a solution to your problem.  Just look for the big "D" spot on the ballot, and vote the straight Democratic ticket.

You can't go wrong.

Electile disfunction. Ha ha. this is so funny but also has a lot of truth in it. I am an independent and will vote when there's someone to vote for.

Nice...actually its quite easy for me to vote...although not satisfied with either candidate I simple choose the one that is closest to my beliefs...right now Obama gets about a 20% and McCain gets about 70%...James

You wrote a good one here Tim and I'm very glad I dont have to vote, but if I did I

think I would be going for experience.
All I can say is may the best man win.
