Ok, so it's been a while since we've seriously discussed politics on this site, the gay marriage thing was more of a slaughter than a discussion, and I thought we should have another go at it. So, who do you prefer; McCain or Obama? And of course why? Don't say "He's just an old white douche!" or "I hate them negras." Let's have a serious discussion, so 12 year olds please don't make dumb ass comments.

vote for obama.

we'd all be racist cracka's if we didnt.

Sadly, some people actualy feel that by not voting for him or criticizing him I'd be doing it because he's black. I know you're joking though.

Seriously though, why Obama?

I think McCain has better policies, better experience and a clear head.

But hey, it's not my country ^^

I like McCain all accept for the fact hes Rep and hes got 2000 pages of medical records...I respect Obama and McCain both as people, But Obama supports my views so I'm voting for him =)

Also I don't wanna be a "Racist muttha Fukka"

Neither, both are so close to facist / socialists I can't vote for either. I don't think either really intends to "defend and uphold the Constitution" and this election voting for the "lesser of two evils" would be evil also. It is time for a GOOD third party candidate to shine; too bad our media won't give them a chance.

Get more specific, what views?

My vote will be set for neither. Neither mainstream party are going to solve any problems. My vote is going to the liberitarian party under Bob Barr. to get things slowly set back to personal freedoms and personal liability for money. huge taxcuts/tax reforms and step in the direction of the traditional constitution which the current main parties seem to have no respect for.
Just to point out. there are more than 2 parties. no reason to keep voting for the lesser of 2 evils.

your vote would be a complete waste.

someone's going to see your "I voted for Bob Barr! I'm Unique." bumper sticker on your '94 ford tauras and say to themselves, "who the hell is bob barr?"

Im actually going obama with this one.. Normally Im republican.. but obama doesnt represent an oil cartel so he doesnt care about high gas prices because he doesnt get payed for it.. unlike everyone else that is/was running for president.. although honestly im glad hillary is gone.. I dont care who wins really.. I live my pathetic life day by day.. if I die tommorow then oh well.. shit happens... and thats my outlook to the future of america

WOW, better look around, you will probably be seeing lot's of those stickers. Right now he is probably the most electable conservative out there (McCain isn't a conservative).

And it isn't a wasted vote either. I expect a lot of "third party" votes this season as there isn't enough of a difference between McCain and Obama for lots of people. The two major parties aren't solving problems anymore. The both expand goverment, limit freedoms and reduce personal responsibility.

I was going too accept I ran outta time and needed to go.

Not alot more to say than I've seen that republicans tend to support upper class America 7figure + incomes. Me not being one of those and Obama supporting middle class Americans I tend to side with him more. Also tax cuts for middle class America, health care plan, a plan to end that ****ing war that Bush started and more.

McCain = 3rd term bush

I really wanted Hilary to be president, because that means Bill will be president too. I mean hes at least going to help Hilary.

But Obama seems cool. I think Obama is going to appeal to younger voters like us.

John F. Kennedy was the youngest president of the United States and now Obama is the second youngest. Lets hope he does just as good of a job.

Lol. Well. He has the most resemblance of one.

Edit: This is post number 1,111. Haha.

Really? Like he voted with his party on everything? or most things? or even supported Bush sometimes? Not very likely. (not that I am happy with Bush's performace on many issues)

That's just ignorant, the only things they really agree on is off shore drilling, staying in Iraq, and keeping the tax cuts. Obama plans to raise taxes about 25%...how is that going to help the people struggling? And if he creates new taxes for oil companies that's only going to make prices go up faster, especially since he doesn't support domestic drilling.

Tax increases wouldn't have to be imposed if it weren't for our dipshit country putting a big toddler with the IQ of a retarded baby in the White House. That said, all you stupid ****s stay home this time around. Let the smart people vote our country (at least partway) out of debt.

EDIT: That comment wasn't meant to blast you Spoon... Just speaking my mind.

EDIT: The oil companies deserve to be taxed. Lets move out of the 1800's and into the new millenium. Obama could be what sparks a race for invention. The time our country is in now is dark, what we need are darker times. The country should be punished for it's own sins... One of which was electing you-know-who.

Think of it this way, things are going to get worse before they get better. I think that is how it is going to happen at least, so you may as well make it better sooner than waste another 4 years with someone who doesn't know shit about economics.
