Yikes! America's republic gets boiled down to a tweet or status update... "Dude, how should I vote? (Tell me in 140 chars or less.)" Wake up America! Do some research before you decide the fate of the free world.

AYTM.COM reports:
A recent study shows that social media has a big influence on Americans' decision to vote. What do they have to say about voting influence?

I really do not think there are any undecided voters. Everything is pretty much in place for the election. The debates are pure and simply entertainment and watch who trips. Undecided will probably not show up. Independent voters will and they are not all about Obama . Just look at the middle east on fire while he is late night TV attention. Hard to believe that the middle east has that many American flags to burn. Think about it

That's very scary and not very smart. I'm still undecided because I don't like either one but social media will have absolutely no influence in my eventual decision.

Bingo. This country was ripe to elect an unqualified impostor. It actually wasn't a Presidential election but an American Idol contest. Our state owned media had Obama "Dancing with the Stars" while they made certain McCain never found his shoes. So to speak.

The problem with McCain was he was to old to tie his own shoes and his running mate was to stupid to know how.

The media has a very strong liberal bias. I would depend more on independent sources and watch the debates.

reply
Pamela ... to robert.... 2012/09/19 19:46:50

Yes they are bias. But the commentators at the debates are all going to be Liberals.

I'm aware of that, but my focus is going to be listening to Mitt and Obama when they speak. Also I'll be watching it on two news stations to compare: CNN and Fox. You have then one liberal biased and one that is more conservative.

Most of the media are not getting the truth fo their viewers and that is scary because if the truth is not told, then those that are undecided may just decide wrong. But, the truth is out there if they want it. They just have to do some research and they'll find it.

pinball, he's talking about those lazy individuals that want nothing more than hand-outs and those that don't really want to work,but love the idea of a Government giving them everything. And he's right. The only problem is, they don't seem to understand that with this President they will also lose their freedoms if he gets into office again and finishes what he has started. If you want to really see who Obama is, go to youtube and look at some of the old and new videos at his promises and who he is. And sadly there are some Republicans that seem to have gone to Obamas side along with many democrates. And while your doing some research, look into who Romney is and his character. Have an open mind and you'll learn a lot more than what the media is not saying.
