Above is your quote, in context ! I do not believe I "put words...." in your mouth at all.
You said you are afraid of the emotion shown in this election, and I assume you mean ONLY on the Republican side and not the emotion on the Democrat side because you stand on that side...just my assumption based on what you say !
You very specifically said that you were scared of "Uneducated people in this country, filled with emotion, making this monumental decision. I find that very frightening."
All I can assume from this statement in context is that those poor uneducated folks who may support Gov Palin or Sen McCain will actually have a vote....my further assumption would be that you think if the smart people could vote, Sen Obama would be a shoo in.
Maybe nobody else finds that extremely offensive but I sure do. I will vote for Sen McCain and Gov Palin for the reasons I have said before, and I consider myself to be educated...perhaps not to your standards but educated enough to find my way to that polling place without getting lost !
Again, maybe I am alone finding your comments very offensive...but I certainly do ! Frankly if I supported Sen Obama I would find your comments to be offensive.

Well Bucco, you seem to think everything I write on this board is offensive and for some strange reason, directly aimed at you. That's simply not the case. There are extremely uneducated people on both sides. In this great country, that just should not be. Our educational system stinks to high Heaven Bucco and if you don't know that -- just google all the cheat sheets for the major colleges. Also, take a look at the cost of colleges. I have a stepson that went to Stanford, another stepson that went to Wharton and a daughter that went to Berkley. Can you even imagine the costs of these colleges? We need to reform our educational system. Period. Everyone deserves a great education and health care from the greatest country in the world. I don't think that's asking too much.
I'm not blaming the people! I'm blaming our government! So, my initial statement still stands. A surplus of uneducated people making a monumental decision! It's the truth. If you believe McCain can deliver this, then find your way to the voting booth (your words, not mine) and vote for him. I personally don't and won't vote for him. And, please, don't assume anything with me. It doesn't work.
