This is not the first time that I’ve come across comments about Trent or the way in which he runs his (awesome) blog. But that’s what it is. a BLOG. As owner of said blog Trent can do whatever he sees fit. So, Jennifer, if you don’t like it, go somewhere else. Like Foxnews.com maybe. Seems like your brand of “fair and balance” media.

If Obama wins there will most definitely be change, but is the change good or bad, that is yet to be seen, personally, I’m not too optimistic :~(

Wow, I’m very disappointed that my comment was removed. I said nothing more than the truth, and it was silenced. I hope you feel good about doing what you are so passionately against, and reinforcing the bias that is so sadly prominent in the mainstream media today. I didn’t want to believe that fair and balanced media was dead, but apparently I was very wrong.

Momo: Not every single Canadian thinks NAFTA is 100% perfect just the way it is. I will venture that its not been very good for us as is anyway in a lot of respects and likely could use a fresh looksee and change. And try not to assume that any Canadian who has decided to support Obama has not taken the time to learn facts for themselves. Even my father, a staunch, dyed in the wool traditional Conservative who has openly supported the US Republican party for at least my entire 35 years and is one of the most politically aware and astute people I know, actually told me three weeks ago that if he were American, he’d vote for Obama over McCain. But then he growled when I metioned Trudeau, so I know he’s not running a fever or anything. And Me? Get over it. Trent or any other human being can state their political thoughts at any time. Deal with it. Grownups scroll past posts they don’t care about.

While I don’t agree with Trent’s politics (or a lot of the comments posted here), I can definitely relate to the feeling of pride at voting this election. I voted in 2004, but with my party, not because of any particular connection I felt with the candidate. It is completely different this time around. I voted two weeks ago, but kept my sticker so I could proudly wear it today. I feel so blessed to live in a country where I am not only entitled to my opinion, but have the chance to make my voice heard by taking advantage of my right to vote. I am reminded at this time of a quote by Voltaire: “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.” Everyone, go cast your votes, and make your voice heard, but please let this be the last day that we attack each other, and intentionally injure those whose beliefs happen to be opposite of the other. Tomorrow, we will have a new president, and I pray that we can move on and forward together, and that the man elected is the right one for our country and that he has the wisdom and courage to unite liberals and conservatives alike.

Oh Me, Get off your high horse….

It is very possible to make up your own mind without being pursuaded by what is written in this BLOG (yeah that’s right, it’s a blog not the gospel). Man some people are just plain ridiculous..

Hey Me, I’m not trying to make you make up your mind, I’m expressing how I came to make up my mind. It actually makes me proud that I live in a country where I am free to express my beliefs proudly.

Why can’t you just make a great, fun, and entertaining website and let me make up my own mind about who I want to vote for? Does it make you feel cool or powerful or something? More or less you are just an entertainer – just entertain please! I love your site – just keep it fun and let me make up my own mind – please.

While I respect the opinions of everyone here regarding who they vote for, I have to say that this has been the most disturbing and disgusting of all presidential elections I’ve witnessed or studied. Regardless of the outcome, we are a nation divided, more so than ever before, and the results of this election will only deepen the divide. Rather than uniting the liberal left with the conservative right, the opposite has occurred. Threats of violence, acts of vandalism and are occurring while you vote. Think about it. I don’t know where our country is headed, but I do believe it is time for me to consider if this is where myself and my family will live out our days.

I voted two weeks ago and yet feel violated and insulted by the campaigns, the media and everyone associated…

I’m voting Obama but I have mixed feelings about it. Honestly, I don’t think either candidate is good enough. I still wish Hilary had won the Democratic nomination. Let’s see if Obama lives up to all the hype.

The US Election 2008 is very inspiring. I’ve never seen so much passion from the citizens as they make a decision for their country and their future. Both candidates are also not just focused on winning, but in forming a better country. You are an example to other countries, and we laud you for that.

Even though I am not American, I feel it is important that I still support the US Elections and urge my American friends to vote, because I know whoever acquires the formal title of US President, ultimately, has an effect on my country (Philippines) and I…

I support Barack Obama.

Hope in four years from now your enthusiasm is well founded. I just have serious doubts about Obama because of his associations and his resdistribution of wealth talk. We will see how he does. I voted McCain, but because of the collapse of George Bush’s administration it might be the time to give the Democrats a chance. Pray they pick up the ball and run with it instead of fumbling it like the Republicans have over the last 8 years. I fear the later.

Hey i’m not an american citizen in fact I live in Europe but the U.S election is a big deal here as well. They are gonna broadcast all night here in sweden about the election. I belive it’s important to vote and Iwill vote in the next election here in sweden (wasn’t old enough last time). It is a intresting election this year because eighter way it’s gonna be an historic one. I personally hope for Obama. He might be young but so was Kennedy. He also has a political line that I think is good both for the US and the rest of the world. Because it’s a huge deal for the rest of the world as well. And of course I don’t like Sarah Palin. Many women here in Sweden thinks she should get to office just becuse she is a woman but if she makes it, she is just gonna make it harder for women to be equal to men.
