I care about the issues, and have been doing as much research of my own into them as time allows, and it drives me NUTS when McCain says, "My friends" over and over.
That doesn't mean I'm not qualified to vote- it means it annoys me when people get so caught up in using catch-phrases that they lose the ability to be original in their patterns of speech.
