    Look, everyone is passionate about their candidate, i get that, but to come here crying about too many anti mccain/palin threads is a joke. Palin just has to open her mouth and it's a disaster waiting to happen. The only time it seems to bother some people is when it's agains their candidates.

    So toughen up princesses, build a bridge and get the fuck over it.

    Very eloquent.

    In case you've been in an Obama-induced daze, I'm not a fan of either candidate and won't be voting for either one. I don't think either of them says anything other than derogatory things about each other. I only phrased the thread the way I did because on this site it seems as if it's pretty one-sided...at least recently.
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    You're not a fan of either, but when the obama bashing was going on daily i guess you were too busy to make a similar thread to this one right.

    Who's saying leave him alone? Wouldn't a Palin/McCain comic be more appropriate for the people whining in this thread?

    I don't think it's ever been to the level that it is against McCain...at least on this site.

    Not exactly. As I type, first thread on the board is about how annoying her voice is.

    Thank you for taking the time to write this post. My sentiments exactly.

    That's a bullshit comment and you know it. Lately there are lots of negative posts about the other side, but you need to understand that the 'other side' are certainly giving people plenty of ammunition to use against them. I see people regulary and consistantly voicing their support for Obama and the reasons why.

    So here we go again, just for you, i'll post this again. I have plenty of positive and specific things to say about Obama......

    It's like back in the day when abook was posting regulary. It's not that no one is responding, it's like how many times do you get sick of saying the same thing, over and over. Daily it would be 'why do you support obama? So people would reply, and then the next day. Why do you support obama? Personally, i got really irked with that, because it was like, ok, why waste my time responding if you are going to ask the same question everytime Obama's name is mentioned. It gets very old. Quickly.

    So, for about the hundredth time..

    Obama speaks about responsibility, on both sides of the system. He wants government to be able to help those who need it the most. He also wants to be able to provide funds for college, raising children, providing health care to those without it… but he always reminds us that we have to be involved in the process. Under him, if you give back to your community, to the country, to the different service groups like peace and Americorps, if you give your time and effort, then government is going to be there to support you because you freakin’ deserve it. This is not socialism, it’s responsibility. Much more “American”.

    The best part is, Obama’s call to service isn’t strictly military. I love that. You mean, I don’t have to join the army to be considered an American. I don’t have to own a gun, don’t have to have slaved my entire life away just to earn the distinction of “salt of the earth” (which is the most condescending bull shit I’ve ever heard).

    Obama wants to end this nightmare of war that has cost the lives 100’s of thousands of civilians whose only crime is being born in Iraq. I'm guessing only a small % of those who have died were terrorists. Gut feel, i don't have facts to back this up. There's too many dead and they didn't have terrorists stamped on their head when they were murdered. Makes me sick to my stomach that the Republican Party has succeeded with associating one religion with absolute hatred, that they’ve been able to instil this idea that every single person in the Middle East has a bomb and a gun and a distinct hatred for Americans. Absolutely not true. Under Obama, this shit will end soon.

    John McCain makes me feel un-American. Always pandering to the idea that democrats never worked and that everyone in America is some kind of coal miner or steel worker just trying to get by. That’s absolutely not true and It's disgusting when he pulls out middle class buzz-words.

    A vote for John McCain is a vote for 100 more years of war. I feel like we will be in a war with Iran and Russia because that’s going to be his answer to the problems they stir up, and because of all this “need” for military presence, there’s going to be a draft which I will beg anyone i know to take up their American right to dodge the hell out of. Fuck going to war. We weren't born to kill or be killed.

    Obama’s tax cuts will benefit the bottom 80% of Americans. John McCain’s will benefit the wealthiest 20%. While both McCain and Obama plan to lower taxes for at least 95% of Americans, the Obama tax cuts are greater for those who need it the most. Yes, Obama plans to raise taxes on those who make over $2.5 million a year, but take a look at this data http://freakonomics.blogs.nytimes.co. ..-perspectives/ and see that John McCain’s plan cuts more taxes for the wealthiest than it does for the less well off. I don’t know where the McCain campaign got the idea that Obama plans to raise taxes on workers, just the top 1% of Americans.

    Palin governs probably the last great wilderness in the western world, and she wants to fuck it over for the last few drops of oil. Unbelievable. John McCain and Sarah Palin support drilling in ANWR, and I absolutely do not. There’s one reason I can’t vote for McCain. Drilling for oil in America is not going to quell the rising price of gas, just destroy parts of the Earth and sections of it’s ecosystem that some people believe are very important to human beings sticking around for a while. He also has said repeatedly that he wants more nuclear power plants (I think 15).

    Obama wants to rid us of the same dependence on foreign oil.
    Within 10 years save more oil than we currently import from the Middle East and Venezuela combined. He also understands that doing that doesn’t mean we have to bring the oil home. It means changing the way we produce, consume and reuse our energy sources.

    Put 1 million Plug-In Hybrid cars — cars that can get up to 150 miles per gallon — on the road by 2015, cars that we will work to make sure are built here in America. Sure, I can understand the desire to rid ourselves of foreign oil, but let’s do that by changing the energy infrastructure. Waaaaay better,as far as I am concerned, than voting for McCain.

    McCains old, if anything happens to him, Sarah Palin will position herself to become America's first female president. Awesome . She's anti-abortion, anti enviroment, anti-stem cell research, anti euthanasia, anti gay marriage, a climate change denier and a born again bible believing christian creatonist.

    She's opposed to sex education in schools and believes in promoting sexual abstinence among the unmarried. Mmm hmm. Sarah Palin wants to control the way any children i may have, receive sex ed., and wants to take away our reproductive rights so that there are no "choices" to make. Why is it i read post after post of people saying her private life and that of her family should stay removed from politics, but no criticizm from those same people that she should keep her nose out of my private life? So how can she then request that we do not discuss the choices her own family has made? If these are private matters for her family, what gives her the right to think she can control any decision i may make for my family?

    She's a warmonger who can't find 'overseas' in the atlas and she's all apple pie and moose burgers. She's a living, breathing caricature, who btw McCain had only met once before

    Seriously, if death does befall McCain, this woman could be the freakin president of the US.

    There's a lot a stake for me, i have not had children yet. I want something better than this to bring them into. I don't have 'blind faith' that Obama is going to solve all our problems, i am not unrealistic as to what he can and can't do, but i do have hope that with the right people around him, he is the best candidate.

    Say i'm wrong, and i'm placing faith and trust in someone that doesn't deserve it, obama gets in, and he continues with Bush doctrine, the conversation in 4 years will be much different. We won't be fooled twice now will we.

    Clearly i'm hoping this will not be the case.
