Thread: Not sure who you're voting for next week?

This is very important, because its about the good of your country, "not voting" is very irresponsible.

Dont vote republican simply because your republican, and same goes with Dems. Look at their "on the issues" on their website, and see for yourself their views.

I worked for the John McCain campaign as a campaign director for a little over a year, and the obvious choice for the Presidency is simple.....Barack Obama. This is why Obama should win...

-McCain is barely winning in his OWN HOME STATE of Arizona.

-McCain supporters...I am so tired of people saying Obama is a terrorist and has ties to terrorists, and hating him for his color. If Obama was a terrorist, he wouldnt be a senator, he'd never pass their background investigations! If Bill Ayers was a terrorist, why isnt he in jail?! Why is he now a professor at a college??? Obama isnt even fully black, his mother and grandparents are white. Im sorry but many McCain supporters are so ignorant and racist.

-The amount of newly registered democrats is well over 2 million. Newly registered Republicans is around 200,000. States which Bush barely won, are now blue states. States which Bush barely won, he won because the majority of democrats didnt even vote! You think theyre gonna vote now? You bet!

-Obama wont raise taxes, nor will he invade Pakistan, he has stated that hundreds of times, and McCain continuously says he will raise taxes and invade Pakistan. Joe the Plumber isnt even a licensed plumber, and he owes money to the IRS. And McCain is using this guy to help himself??? Ouch.

-The GOP strategy on gas prices is pissing me off. Suddenly gas prices are going down, even though OPEC cut production. Some say OPEC wants to help McCain, well thats hilarious because McCain wants to drill HERE, and Obama wants to drill THERE. Drilling overseas is better, because most Arabs whoa re rich, are rich because of OIL. In 20 years when they run out of oil, they wont be rich anymore and we will be paying 2 dollars a gallon, and WE will be the rich ones since everyone will come to us for it. So uhh, why are gas prices going down then? Our country has enough control over the gas prices, and its a strategy by the GOP to help McCain.

-Just recently, the largest Alaskan newspaper endorsed.....OBAMA. Thats a slap in the face to Palin!

-Ron Paul will be on the ballot in almost 30 states. Ron Paul won a few primaries by the way. Bob Barr is an ultra conservative, and him and Paul WILL take many votes from McCain. McKinney and Nader wont take many votes from Obama, since nobody likes McKinney and people gave up on Nader.

-There is no Bradley Effect. Bradley ran for governor of California and lost in 1980. Who won the Presidency in 1980? Ronald Reagan. Where was Reagan from? California. Plus, Bradley wasnt winning in ALL the polls, just SOME. Thirdly, Bradley won the vote on election day, but it wasnt until all the absentee ballots came in, when he lost. So there is no "bradley effect". Research it!

-McCain bashes Obama's foreign policy experience, even though as a senator, Obama is on the foreign policy committee, AND Joe Biden (his VP) is the HEAD of the foreign policy committee.

-Sarah Palin has so much controversy everyday. First the troopergate, then her pregnant teenage daughter, NOW she has the money spending, about how she spent so much campaign money on flying her family around, and on her wardrobe. We dont need anymore controversy.

-The GOP and RNC have bailed on McCain, and are not giving him anymore money. Im sure they know hes gonna lose. Plus, McCain is old, and if you saw him during the debates, he sounded like an angry old man. He can barely lift his arms, and he wants to LEAD?

-McCain tries to bash Obama for Iraq. Obama said Iraq was a mistake, and SOME soldiers argue, and SOME agree. Yet a British general said we will never win in Iraq, and so did some of our commanders. Obama wants to move soldiers from Iraq, to Afghanistan, and THAT, is a good choice.

-McCain said something really stupid. He said "we are down in the polls and we are the underdogs, thats exactly what we want. I always do better when Im losing"......hmmm, and when was the last time McCain was losing??? He was the underdog in 2000 and LOST. Besides that, hes NEVER been the underdog....

-Choosing Sarah Palin was his biggest mistake and he knows it. He chose her simply for her image, and to attract Hillary supporters, which he has failed to do. He kept her out of interviews until late, and she never answers questions, dodges them. She makes false accusations constantly, AND she got whooped by Biden in the debate. If you notice when McCain and Palin are together, he blinks a lot...

-McCain voted with Bush 90% of the time. Enough said.

-McCain wants to give oil companies a tax break. He wants to give 4 billion in tax breaks to Exxon, whos been making double digit profits!

-McCain always talks about Obama being a socialist and raising taxes...well lets look at this, European countries are quite socialist, yet European countries are the happiest, most laid back. Plus they enjoy FREE healthcare and cheap education...and no u dont need to wait in lines for hours there. People who make over 250K can afford to pay more, rather than spend it on another car that they dont need!

-Obama is leading in Ohio, Missouri, hes gaining a lot in Georgia, winning in Florida, Ohio, even North Dakota and Montana. You can check for yourself on a very good site, its: electoral-vote.com the guy who makes that site has been correct for the past dozens of years, hes very accurate and provides lots of detail. So check daily for yourself.

-No matter who wins this election, it really doesnt matter who the president is....it has MORE to do with who the senators and congressmen are. The Dems are poised to take a controlling lead in both the house and senate BY FAR. As of now, theres 49 Dems and 40 Republicans, and 2 independents in the house. The past 4 years have sucked, because nobody can get anything done. Its not the Dems fault, the man who SIGNS and VETO'S these bills is a REPUBLICAN. After November 4th, the Dems are poised to add 10-15 Senators and MUCH MORE representatives, meaning McCain will get ZERO done.

-Colin Powell (General, and worked under Bush) just endorsed Obama. Scott McLellan (former White House spokesman under Bush) just endorsed Obama, and so did Billy Joel and Maria Shriver, lol.

well if the pianno man and a kennedy vote obama then maybe i should to?

i am so damn tired of the idea a celebrity endorsement should have anything to do with my vote.

How about this notnormal. answer me a few questions and prove obama has the right stuff.

Why should I vote for a junior senator who has not completed a term in a federal office and has no executive or foreign experience? (which one could argue is the traditional roll of the executive)

Why should I vote for a man who has views on the second ammendment that are the direct opposite of mine?

Why should I vote for a man who wants to raise taxes on a class of individual who already pays a disproportionate amount of his income compared to his fellow americans? out of fairness?

Why should I vote for a man who wishes to expand the governments roll in health care, when expanding these benifits to a greater population will put a strain both on the taxpayer and hospitals limiting the amount of resources to all? meaning I now have to wait for recourses which would have previously been available to me, but now I am paying for someone else to take my place.

Why would I vote for a man who I believe will be racially dividing to this country. not unifying. as shown in his "typical white person" comment?

why should vote for a man who has no experience dealing with the economy, in a time when confidence in the world economy has crumbled?

Why should I vote for an individual who if allowed would place an individual on the supreme court who would interpret the constitution completely contrary to my belief of how the founders intended it?

and finally please explain to me why I should vote for a man and party who ran on a platform of "bringing our troops home" though as soon as the election was won began backtracking and blaming others for why they are unable to fulfill the main promise of their campaign?

In my mind I see obama as a racially devisive individual who does not have the experience needed to deal with a strugling economy, or foreign leaders. obama represents a larger tax burden upon the populace for an expansion of social programs that will hurt the strength of the US in the long run. Obama represents an interpretation of the Constitution that weakens what I consider to be the core of the american founding. I see obama as the epitome of a politician who promises one thing with neither the desire or intention of following through.

I would be happy to discuss any one of these issues I have with obama and would love to see that I have made a mistake.
