McCain And Obama, what are your views?
Ok, well I am not taking sides in this one, I just think that it would be interesting to see the different types of views people have on the election. There are good things about both people and unfortunately somethings that people don't agree on, but hopefully those things can be fixed. Well I live here in the Dallas area where allot of Democrats are, and you cant even go threw town with an McCain sticker on the back of your car without getting dirty looks as you drive threw the town. This happened to our insurance lady, she said that she is going to have to tape an Obama sticker over the McCain sticker. Politics alone is not healthy for our economy, people are degrading and tearing each other apart over this. Its not right. But anyways, what are your
views over this election and just how this is effecting people by just who they are voting for!

The problem with the two Parties. Democrats still ring the bell "Democrats are for the working class". Well it is not true. Democratic leadershipp is more power hungry than ever before in history. They will promise anything and everything to be in power. The way they get votes is to promise socialism. "Government is going to do such and such for you."
Republicans typically is for big business. They believe by strengtheningg big business prosperity will trickle down to the masses. They do less for the working class. I think this part is actually good because the less government is in our private lives the more freedoms we have.
Which party is elected has minimal effect on the middle and lower classes. On the larger scale the party elected has a massive effect on world affairs and larger issues.

I think people are being really stupid about this election. It would only take me one hand to count the number of people I've met who can actually give me good reasons for supporting one candidate over another, rather than just quoting sound bytes and media hype at me. To be honest I don't much care for McCain's policies and I really don't understand how anyone could vote for him, but I have ten times more respect for a McCain supporter who supports him based on the issues than I have for an Obama supporter who has just drunk the kool-aid (to borrow a phrase I've seen thrown around here a lot).

I think they both suck. Case in point: Why were they the only two candidates at the debates? Why did they only have a few debates anyway? Also, I think McCain was wimpy that he wanted to skip a debate so he could do his job (he's a US Senator). If he can't be senator and run for president at the same time, maybe he should quit one! I'm a Bob Barr supporter by the way.

i'm rushing my answer, sorry, yet McCain has visited the Iraq area 9 cases and Obama has visited as quickly as, which he did purely in the near previous, the previous month. it truly is somewhat sparkling that McCain is properly won interior the area (Syria blanketed) and he's somewhat properly huge-unfold interior the area. Obama isn't huge-unfold in any respect, and whilst he does make an visual charm, he refuses to bypass to the veterens or the troops, that's marvelous on condition that he did no longer desire to positioned on the yankee flag as a pin on his in advantageous condition throughout the time of his campaign the two. McCain's view on Iraq seems to be certainly one of consistent the present "surge" and to maintain a troop removal it is innovative. Obama's view seems to be an entire removal on a extra speeded up time table, that's unrealistic. i may well be incorrect in this, simply by fact i've got no longer been analyzing present day information stuff approximately this, yet that fluctuate into the final I heard. somebody might proper me. McCain is very respected in protection rigidity circles, and speaks the language. Obama is largely an interloper, and it truly is confusing to think of him getting certainly one of those overdue start up in protection rigidity concerns and having Biden as a "adviser" like having a playskool champion borrow your celebrity Wars lego set.

Well, there you go. The Pubs have been in power 28 of the last 36 years. The paranoid schizophrenic meglomaniacs congregate to power. If the Dems get in, I just hope they won't be so dumb as to let that type hijack the party/country, not that the two parties put together are fit for human consumption.

I think Obama has a history he is not admitting to. I don't like the way he preaches when he makes a speech. I like Mc Cain because he really is a little liberal. I know that sounds weird. Right now he is saying (they all are) what he needs to say to make the republicans happy to get their vote. But when or if he gets in office, I think it will be different. I just don't trust Obama. Either way, I don't want the mess they will get when one of them takes over the oval office!

I personally like Obama for many reasons. I don't understand how our country will benefit from another president just like George Bush...he has already drove our country into the ground...how much deeper are willing to dig our hole?

The people in Dallas are smart. They are voting for the sensible and logical choice which is Obama. McCain and his erratic decision making is costing him lots of votes. A lot of people don't care for his attack dog, Sarah Palin.

I personally like Obama. I'm voting for him. I'm just glad that Bush will be out of office.

It is glad to see you haven't fallen for the liberal mindless Obama hype machine! A vote for him is a vote to destroy all that has made our country great !!!
