NoShitThereIWas 0 #1 October 2, 2008 I was just watching the 60 minutes debate on the current issues facing America between Obama and McCain... All I can say is that I hope people have learned over the last 8 years what the Republicans and Bush have done to this country, spending, taxes, health care, education. It has gotten so horrible on all levels. I don't have that much faith in people since Bush not only got elected but then re-elected... But if people continue to be politically ignorant when they vote and we end up with another Republican like McCain... You are looking for destruction unless you are a multi-millionaire. If you are apathetic, get off your butt and get to the polls to vote and vote Democrat for President Obama. Yes, I wish his name was different and all but the bottom line is the guy is way more intelligent, way more prepared to lead America and his ideas are right on. I am and always have been pro Clinton. Anyone from that family in office is OK in my book. I still think Clinton was one of the best presidents (especially in my lifetime) so I was upset to hear that Hillary dropped out but I do understand. America may not have been ready for a female President, not in today's times. But the "First Gentleman" would have been a former Pres with good ratings and a good political track record. Bill would have been right behind her. His days in office were days I was proud to be an American and it was easier on the average Americans to live fruitfully. I really want to feel uplifted by my government again and not disgusted like I have been the last 8 years. All I have is my voice and my opinion so if you are reading this and you don't know who to vote for, go to Yahoo and look up 60 minutes debate Obama and McCain and listen to each candidate's responses before you decide who to vote for and then go and VOTE!!!Roy Bacon: "Elvises, light your fires."

billvon 2,991 #4 October 2, 2008 I honestly think Obama didn't stand too much of a chance. There are too many people who just won't vote for a black Muslim who won't say the Pledge of Allegiance no matter what. And yes, a lot of people still believe that (and they are not the type that participate in polls.) But now Obama is eleven points ahead in the general polls. I thought he'd need ten points to stand a chance of winning this, and he's got that now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

guppie01 0 #6 October 2, 2008 I've never really felt that my vote/voice meant a damn thing in this country... I did not vote 8 years ago.... I did vote 4 years ago b/c I was terrified at the prospect of Bush being re-elected. I sent in my registration yesterday - god help us if Palin is put in the office. g"Let's do something romantic this Saturday... how bout we bust out the restraints?"

NoShitThereIWas 0 #12 October 2, 2008 Well if my statements made you want to vote for McCain and you thought I was calling you ignorant I was not. Ignorant is not a bad thing or a stupid thing, it is a dangerous thing. If my opinion made you want to vote for McCain than I guess you will just join the other Americans who haven't seen enough abuse of this country for power.Roy Bacon: "Elvises, light your fires."

Actually what put me over the top against Obama was the $195,000 raise Michelle Obama received very shortly after Barrack was elected Senator.

Ion01 2 #25 October 2, 2008 I thought america was supposed to be capitalist country. http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0708/11670.html Does his 0-5 program not scare you! If you don't know what it is look it up please. And if you don't know if having the goverment run and control healthcare then just look at all the countries that do. It is a complete failure. Point being I don't want a socialist country. Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
