Anyway-
McCain rhymes with Cane. x]
Bush sent the Bin Laden family out of the nation while the rest of the country's air planes were grounded, on 9/11.
Bin laden > canes
Why did you start a thread about the presidential race when you don't even know who Joe Biden is?
And I'll be voting for Obama.

Here's a thought. McCain is 72.
That's getting pretty close to the point where most people start getting crippled by age related things

But since the world is living longer, wouldn't that mean that old perople get older slower? 0_o
and therefore age makes no difference to some old people...

Because I can, and it's free.

The world is living longer because of better diet, health, ect.
McCain was born in the 30s, long before most of those advancements existed. Only thing that will make him live longer is newer medicine. :]

Its annoying as hell but slandering someone's name is a common political tactic, amirite?
It really sucks that I'm one year off from voting in this election -___-. I would vote for Obama though since John McCain's policies are not very appealing to me.

I'm pro-choice, pro-gay marriage, pro-universal health care, pro-pull out of Iraq, pro-fix this economy, and for once the democrats actually have a candiate that makes sense (unlike Kerry in '04, or even Gore in '00 to some extent). I don't buy into all the "McCain is just Bush all over again", I'm well aware of the differences.
I just think that having a very educated and well-spoken president is more important then a war hero. We need to be making peace now, not war. Obama really looks like a near-perfect president in my eyes, not to mention I hardly agree with anything McCain offers (short of homeland sequrity). So I might have to give up marksmenship (.22) until I'm 21, its worth it to have a house and a job.

Reasons not to vote for McCain: 1. Old age - might not last long?
2. Tax cuts to big (oil) companies.
3. Extended war in Iraq/Middle East.
4. Always jumps the gun and thinks war is the answer.
5. Voted for middle class tax raises.
Many etc.
Reasons to: 1. Has a stable voting record.
2. Wants to throw aliens out of the country.
3. ...?
I dunno, if you're a war mongreling high-class citizen, why not!?
Sometimes people confuse me, why WOULDN'T you be pro-middle class, pro-peace, pro-universal health care, and pro-gay marriage? All of that either helps or is -neutral- towards the middle class. That only applies to just about EVERYONE here.

Anyone high in society can get medical help if needed. Besides, his VP would be cool as the real president anyway.
2. Tax cuts to big (oil) companies.
Good, them having less money means they charge less.
3. Extended war in Iraq/Middle East.
No. Obama wanted it over March 08. He wants it over March 09. The amount of productivity in the past 5 months has pretty much DOUBLED the amount in the past 4-5 years.
4. Always jumps the gun and thinks war is the answer.
Like Iraq?
5. Voted for middle class tax raises.
Obama voted for ALL tax cuts. Middle > Middle + upper + lower.
Vote McCain! (and waits for more posts to respond to)

Since when are people in government supposed to directly change their view due to one person who's close to them? That's called bias.

I never said that. But if they have a gay child and accepted it and supported them, you would think that they would support gay marriage. That is all I am saying.

If he did support it, even if he legitimately wanted it (for reasons other then his own children) he would get bashed by everybody for playing favorites and people would hate his administration more.

I understand what you are saying. It's just kind of messed up that you can't support gay marriage because your party doesn't want it or people with think you are biased or whatnot.

Considering a large amount of people in the '04 elections voted for Bush because of his stance on "moral issues" (aka, his gay bashing), it's not surprising Bush/Cheney didn't support gays despite the sexuality of Cheney's daughter.
Just my five cents. Personally, I don't care who wins the American election, because, while the winner will affect global economies in some way, I don't give a rat's ass about the economy, so it doesn't affect me down in New Zealand. Plus, I have New Zealand's own general election to consider.
John Key or Helen Clark anyone?

ok you guys talking about socialism know nothing about obamas health care plan
he plans to make health care cheaper,not make it universal.
universal health care has two draw backs.
1. its socialism,down right and simple, and 2. huge tax increases.
what most people dont know is that McCains tax plan ends up giving us a deficit worse than Obamas plan,50% worse. Obama and McCain both want tax cuts, but Obama only wants it for people making under $250k, roughly 96% of the population, where as McCain wants 100% of the population given tax cuts,and, amongst the people, corporations will get tax cuts as well.
Thus leading to our economy even worse because our government wont have even more money.

Vote McCain! (and waits for more posts to respond to) Sorry but you're a fool.
1. His VP choice is horrible,sorry,she just is. Republicans say Obama has no experience, yet their VP is a 2 year govenor of alaska
2. Supply and Demand, just because the high ranking officers of oil companies have more money in their pockets, doesnt mean our gas gets cheaper, thats a fucking no brainer
3. Obama never wanted to invade iraq to BEGIN with. Although I believe we should stay in Iraq until its stabalized, us staying there is costing us billions per month and has ruined our economy, Iraq needs to get on the ball.
4. No real answer for this one.
5. BOTH JOHN MCCAIN AND BARACK OBAMA WANT TO "RENEW" THE BUSH TAX CUTS, THE ONLY DIFFERENCES IS IN THE % OF THE BREAK AND THE FACT OBAMA'S PLAN ONLY REACHES PEOPLE WHO MAKE $250,000 A YEAR OR LESS, WHICH IS 96% OF THE POPULATION, WHERE AS MCCAIN WANTS IT FOR EVERYONE, INCLUDING COMPANIES THAT HAVE SENT JOBS OVERSEAS!!
