Re: McCain or Obama?

I want Dennis Haysbert for president :(

Oh well McCain 08. Romney should have been VP, especially since we are facing an economic crisis right now.

more importantly no one has said why Obama is qualified yet...



Melanoma can kill fast.

I am not saying Obama is qualified, he's not. But Neither is McCain and Palin.

Both of them made very irresponsible decisions. McCain worse then Obama, as McCain is more likely to die within 4 years.

The point is mute though. Obama is going to win. I'll be surprised if it's even close. And you have NOBODY to thank, but Bush himself.



Also. Romney is slimy, he will never be anywhere near the top office. He's very much the politician, and not in the good way.

Re: McCain or Obama?

I like John McCain. I like him a lot, actually, and I genuinely think he'd make the better president.

My problem is that I really, really don't like Sarah Palin. I'm actually starting to believe that this stupid, stupid woman is going to singlehandedly destroy McCain's chances of election next month. Barely a day goes by when we don't hear about something stupid she's said done or did.

I'm struggling to understand why she was chosen, either. At a time when over eighty percent of the American electorate is disillusioned with the current administration, why does the Republican Party Selection Committee think it makes sense to select a VP candidate who is essentially George Bush in a dress.

One of the John McCain's primary strengths as a candidate, and one of the things I like the most about him, is that he's an independent thinker, and not another 'GGG' drone from the deep south. Adding Palin to his ticket undermines this. Not to mention that the various allegations about her personal life and tenure as the Governor of Alaska are having an equally detrimental effect on the campaign.

I do like McCain, and I do prefer him to Obama, but if he does get elected, and something happens to him, then Sarah Palin will become the leader of the free world, which really isn't something I'd like to see happen. As a result, I'm probably leaning more toward Obama nowadays.

Re: McCain or Obama?

if he really wanted to win....Palin should drop out and have McCain pick Hillery.



THAT, would tip things, and steal serious voters lol.

It'd also be fun to watch.

Re: McCain or Obama?

I love you guys.
*tear*

The last billion or so times I have tried to discuess this, I get pure bashing on both sides.
<3333

But. On topic.

I still think McCain has a large chance.
There is still three weeks left, Oui?
It won't take a miricle, but he will need some luck.

And to the people asking about why he chose Sarah Palin.
Her breasts, and her lower female parts.
I think he was trying to capitalize on all the people saying they would vote Republican if Hillary wasn't the democratic seat.

Im sorry if Im using wrong terms. ^.^
Canadian politics are so much different.

Re: McCain or Obama?

after thinking it over:

osama


[spoiler]the bottom line is both osama and cain will make their parties and the us a laughing stock in the world (more than bush did). so in the long run it's much better to have the liberals compromised all together with their idiotic pc fashist socialist ideas (as much worse than the neo-conserves).
hopfully then the american demos will wake up and understand a few things about running the country.[/spoiler]

I agree...not that I really like McCain now (if people know his history of political positions might know why I say "now")

very well said/put.

Palin will ruin McCain, I liked him a lot, and i still do, but not Palin, and between the two choices for P/VP, Obama is taking the lead as I said, sure Biden is cocky and si full of himself, he does have experience and knows about things going on and the situation in all of the world, thing's a 'hockey mom' who says maverick way too much, probably doesn't fully concept and/or understand how to take care of


What are you talking about, Palin has made McCain. Before McCain was a slightly popular republican without any of the republican strengths, he didn't have evangelicals he didn't that much republican support either. Then Sarah Palin comes around with a baby with downs syndrome she refused to abort, a sixteen year old daughter pregnant that she refuses to abort, a patriotic person, most importantly a very faithful person. The religious right has come flocking to McCain, mainly because of Palin.

Romney shoulda been president, not VP.

Don't get me wrong, I agree whole-heartedly, he's who I voted for in the primaries. He was extremely smart, successful, well-spoken, didn't look like an old-decrepit man and he had a very nice moral family background, and I always prefer my elected officials to not have tons of skeletons in their closet. Plus he crushed McCain in almost every debate.

If it wasn't for the Huckaboom, Romney would have dominated the early primaries and be our nominee. I personally would have loved to see a Romney Obama debate, but alas, hopefully we will see it in four years.

Besides, Romney had the best hair jokes.
