Unfortunately, yes, I am voting. My disinterest for McCain doesn't quite overshadow my contempt for Obama. And I hate taxes. But I think Obama is going to win. The death of Investigative Journalism has seen to that. Edited Mon Oct 06 2008, 12:02AM |

No, because both of the candidates are mentally retarded, and have no idea what they're talking about. We got a guy that can't lift his arms and sounds like Sean Connery, and then we have a guy that looks like dumbo who wants to spend our money in other countries with a socialistic approach to things. If you're going to vote for Obama, enjoy higher taxes. As if we don't pay enough Goddamn taxes. He believes that raising taxes for the rich will solve the economic crisis when in reality, the rich supply jobs for the poor. Enjoy your layoffs because of inability to pay higher wages. You ever complain about how shitty your wages are now? Just imagine how low they'll be if the rich are going to be taxed to hell. It's a shame that there's a high chance Obama will not get in because he's black, and there are too many rednecks in America for that to happen. Aside from his and the democrat's shitty views on how to solve an economic crisis, the guy just puts off a vibe to me that's shady and strange. I'm sure there will be black presidents in the future, but now is not the time for a minority to lead our country. As for McCain? Shit, he's going to win the election probably, but he'll die in office anyways. You might as well say we're voting for the vice president. I'm tired of spending my tax money on a war we shouldn't be in, and I'm tired of Republicans making economical decisions where people who do not make a high income have no say in. It's easy for them to make spend money on everything decisions when they've had money their entire lives, and have no idea what it's like to live poor. McCain also gives off a negative vibe to me. I watched a little bit of the debate, and when Obama would counter an argument about what McCain's political decisions have been and what kinds of bills he would sign, he would sit back and laugh and then try to counter the argument by completely contradicting himself. In the same sense, you have to remember that both of them are politicians, and feed off of spewing out propaganda bullshit. All in all, the only thing I can say about this election is that regardless of who wins, we're fucked. |

I already registered and going to be voting for Obama. It seems that if Obama gets elected America will have a brighter feauture. And I dont want to vote for a president that has a 85 % chance of dying in the office and I dont see Palin running the country because she dumb as fuck and doesnt know anything but I got to give her one thing she is hot as fuck.

If I can be completely honest, I fear that within the next two decades, we are going to need a complete political reform, and unfortunately that means another civil war I just see our Nation split in too many ways, and too much bullshit going on, so we are going to need a Nintendo Restart for Government to work again. Unfortunately the only reason I believe in the electoral college is because Our nation's lower classes really don't know SHIT about SHIT. They vote on whether the candidate shoots guns or not, and ridiculous reasons like that, so I see a complete Political Reform coming. How it is going to be placed, or what is going to go on with it, I don't know. But this isn't working, and it hasn't worked for years, so something is going to be done about it soon, and unfortunately it's going to be paid for with blood, as always. if anything I would Vote for Obama. not because of anything he believes in, or what his platform is, just because He knows what he's talking about(for the most part...), he can argue anything with a good backup, he's honest(once again, a politician, so, for the most part...), and I just don't trust McCain as much as I do Obama. Plus I want a brighter feature. |

If I COULD vote, I'd vote Obama. At least he doesn't want to keep the troops out. I don't pay too many taxes yet, so I don't care enough about that to vote Mccaine. Either one will be bad in their own ways, I don't really care too much this election who gets elected, although I really think Obama's going to win. Obama Mccaine Bush <-----------------------|------------------------> Left Right Obama's so far to the left he's off my scale. Fuck paying for people who are too lazy to get off their ass and work. |

Same as KD, if I COULD, it'd be Obama. Even though both aren't that amazing, Obama looks like he can get most of the shit done that needs to be. Especially with McCain's choice for Palin, I'd have voted for anyone else... Oh, and Obama is going to win hands down. Edited Mon Oct 06 2008, 01:01AM |

wow. You all buy into the media too much. For those of you who are choosing not to vote for McCain because he may die in office, you're stupid. Obama has the same ammount of chance, or more (for being "black") of getting assassinated in office. And McCain, even though old, is pretty damn healthy. If you want to talk age, talk about McCain's struggle to remember simple things, like how many houses he has. I mean, in an interview or debate, it's legitimate to say "I don't know, let me get back to you about that" as both Obama and McCain have done, but that answer only works for questions you aren't expected to know, like, "What do you think about this bill that got passed in 1985" (theoretical question). But when asked how many houses do you own, that's something you should know. As for Obama being far left, that too is also a lie. He does have some qualities that are pretty left winged, like the age old democratic raise taxes to stabilize economy and help the middle and lower classes (which if you look back at the Clinton era, worked 100%). Also, you will see a drop in unemployment, which is a common Democratic trait, creating jobs where there aren't any. Speaking of left, if you look at McCain, he is as far left as a "republican" can go. There are actually people who have worked with him who quote him on wanting to change to be a democrat. All in all though, I think this comes down to more of a vote of a 4 year solution, since I highly doubt either would last 8 years in office. I think both of them will live through 4 years as well. I know a lot of people are thinking of voting for vice president, because of the fear of them gaining power, and that would lead a lot of people to lean towards Biden, because lets face it, Palin has really no political experience, as in, talking to the people as a politician, which is something the president really needs to do. Watching the debate, she proved to me that maybe she isn't as dumb as I once thought she was, just has no idea how to speak as a politician. She even mentioned that when she said "I don't have a lot of Washington based talk, as you can tell" or something around that. And even though Biden may have changed his stances over the years, he is the flipfloper the media is trying to make you think he is. He has changed his stance over many years, and not within a year of a vote. He even butts heads with Obama, staying true to his stance on the matters. I think this will really keep Obama in line, and hopefully will help form a good cabinet, which McCain will have. So all in all, don't buy into the media, because you can watch NBC, who is highly biased for Obama, or Fox who is highly biased to republicans (why they talk up McCain, but still don't like him). And watching CNN will give you a better feel for the world than the nominees. I'm not gonna lie, I'm going to probably vote for Obama (haven't settled on it 100% because there is at least 1 more debate to be seen) because I think Biden will really be a huge help to a "radical" thinker. And I just don't enjoy the word Maverick unless it is being used on Tom Cruise in Top Gun, and not an older man and a house wife. |
