AMERICAN ELECTIONS '08

Posts

Honestly, I'm not that much more for Obama than McCain.
Well, for example... I agree with McCain on some things such as abortion and gun control, but not on things such as drilling and tax cuts.
I was expecting a much more interesting answer than that.
Ralph Nader is better than those two.

go ralph nader go

Nader -_-;

The few things on which I agree with him:

Foreign Policy (anti-empire)
Federal Reserve (anti-bailout)
Renewable Energy

The dude that's 22 sounds like he's never had faith in politics or taken time to understand politics.

The illusion that nothing changes is due to people only seeing the one change and assume that it was inevitable and bound to happen and they "like totally can't imagine anything else of happening". Or I guess there's the Orwellian option that they've forgotten that things were any different.

If you want to give a shit, educate yourself. If you want to wallow in your own apathy and cuddle up with your anomie, it's not a big deal. When people say "the ignorant masses" they have to be referring to someone.

I just realized "the dude" is a girl/woman, and that I came off a little arrogant and mean. I fully apologize and take back what I said.
No, you're pretty much absolutely right.
Well, today is the day, people. Get out there and vote.
Man I wish I was in America ... I have no idea what is going on out there lol ... I only recently found out that today was the day (After reading your post XD)

So you are for more government control of our lives and rights (abortion) while you are against more government control of our lives and rights (gun control)

I was for it before I was against it! I'm against it while I am for it! I was against it before I was for it! Go Politics!

Also, how is more precautions on who can buy hand guns a bad thing??? Who needs hand guns?!? or sub-machine guns?!? or assault rifles?!?

If you want to hunt use a bow, not a gun.

Say what? I just don't understand anti-gun people. Police don't really enforce laws in my town, so what would you suggest the people do to maintain order? A force of militia armed with bows?

But then we would outlaw bows. Then only the bad guys would get their hands on bows, because the good guys follow the rules. Bows don't kill people, people do!
I voted today at 7. And I was proud. It was my first time (voting).

I went with my dad, who was passively-aggressively bitching because he had to wait in line. Whoops!

Did Obama win yet?

Hopefully, in a few more hours!

As a side note...

Azn: Abortion is a fundamentally retarded political standpoint. Not because it's right or wrong, but because Republicans have no intention of banning it since it's a hot button topic that is occasionally useful.

Well, today is the day, people. Get out there and vote.

I don't think I can vote today (my dad is volunteering at the polls all day for $450 bucks, so I have no way to get anywhere, besides that I don't know if/where I'm registered to vote, and I'm going to be really busy from 7 onwards) but I think it's a given Obama will win New York anyway, no?

I care less about this election than the last one I was eligible to vote in because I no longer need to vote against bush.
