How will you vote this year?

[Anna Perenna]

I don't agree with several of the McCain/Palin policies. I don't like the way McCain is addressing several issues; his choice of core issues; and I hate the blatant spin/rhetoric in the wording on his website.

 

eg:

 

Yet each day he also saw in his fellow prisoners the power of human compassion and the will to prevail against

unimaginable evil

.

 

John McCain believes the institution of marriage is a union between one man and one woman.

 

McCain and Palin seem out of touch with modern life and the rest of the world.

 

I do agree with most of Obama's policies and I like his 'blueprint for change'. I think he is progressive rather than regressive (see McCain + Palin).

 

Therefore, my vote (if I had one) would lie with Obama.

 

Please learn to cope with the fact that I just don't agree with your opinion. This is probably not going to change - least of all if you call me an idiot.

First off. I still havn't made a choice on if I'll pull the lever for either of the major candidates. Second, your opinion doesn't matter because it won't be you or even a third of the population of the US that will be paying for the immense entitlemnt programs that Obama says he will promote. When he wants to increase the inheritance tax to that around 50% so that neither myself or my brothers willl be able to afford to keep the family farm in the familly, or that many Americans will only keep around a third of their paycheck because of the social programs Obama proposes that nobody is talking about, I hope everyone is happy with Cuiban or USSR style lines to get health care is worth it.

Your complaining about social programs that will benefit you? Explain.

How will they benefit me? I became a profitable member of society that pays taxes, earns a living and pays for their own medical insurance. Even with the BS "stimulus check" I still pay more in for tax than I got back so I don't fall in the "welfare" category.

 

All Obama's plan willl do for me is make me pay for someone elses' insurance plan and degrade the plan I already have.

 

Explain. We can't even afford the current social programs the Dems have strapped us with. Social Security, Medicare and Medicade are running in the red. Lets put a trillion dollars worth of programs on top to them. Yah.

[ImWithStupid]

Social programs are socialism. Obama wants to lable entitlement programs as social programs. charity should be from charities, not from the Federal Government.

 

I've lived poor. I've been in the position where I was living off of Ramen noodles, bread, peanut butter, butter, tomato and chicken noodle soup., and so were my kids. Not one bit was paid by charity or the government.

 

Unfortunately there are too many ready to accept the easy way from the governmet teet.

Show me the data to support this theory.

Let's just start with the current obligations we can't afford...

 

The Real National Debt

 

let alone the $700 billion Obama says he's going to give to buy votes.

Second, your opinion doesn't matter

 

So, why bother arguing with me?

I didn't. I spoke of those of the US population that would have to pay the taxes to support the ideas that you support but wouldn't have to pay for.

You disagreed with my opinion on a debate forum.

 

Ergo, you argued with me.

 

Anyway, I'm an idiot and my opinion doesn't matter so why bother answering my posts at all?

You aren't an idiot and the fact that I disagree doesn't say I think you are. My point is that you can voice any opinion you want on who you would vote for Pres in the US, but since you won't be the one suffering under the biggest tax increase since WWII, your decision is easy to make.

 

It's like if I were to say I'd vote for an increase in the minimum wage in Australia to improve the life of the poor there, but it would mean that you would have to pay 45 cents on every dollar you earned to the government to pay for it.

 

I'd be all for it too, because it wouldn't affect me.

I'm voting for mickey mouse!

[snafu]

I'm voting for mickey mouse!

 

Your gonna vote for McCain becuase you know a write in is a waste of a vote. You too hugo. It's gonna be McCain or Obama. Mickey has no chance in hell.

[hugo]

I see I have backed EVERYBODY into a corner. Simple question... who is the enemy?

.

.

 

 

The enemy is fundamentalist Islam that is waging a world war.Pakistan, Palestine, the Phillipines, Somalia, Indonesia, Afghanistan in all these nations moderates are attempting to hold their ground against the extremists. Iraq was a secular state and helped keep Iran and fundamentalist Islam in check, We screwed up. Now that we have opened Pandora's box simply closing it may not be enough.

McCain will win Texas by at least 15% points. I could never vote for the co-author of McCain/Feingold.

[ImWithStupid]

Mickey has no chance in hell.

 

Oh yea. He won in Venezuela...

Actually, I'd be all for that. I don't mind paying high taxes, so long as the money I am sacrificing is going to things like public education, health and welfare.

 

I am a lefty, remember
