Obama vs. McCain

[Shiningmonkey]

I guess I'd go with McCain but I don't like any of the candidates this year.

It's interesting how the Obama supporters seem uniformally much more enthusiastic about thier candidate.

The McCain "supporters" are voting for McCain because he is the "lesser of two evils". Not exactly a moving endorsement.

I was just wondering what the "truth" you were referring to was?

You're right. You know how I feel about Obama, but I understand why people are putting thier hope into him. someone earlier in this thread noted that the States is lacking leadership. It's true. No one is at the helm. I've seen it start at local level - many people are involved in politics for the wrong reasons.

I think that is probably very true. Sometimes local politics can be even nastier and uglier than national politics...sometimes for that very reason.

If you're REALLY wondering, I suggest you go back a couple pages to when me and MMM were discussing the matter

I honeslty don't know about either of them. I won't be old enough to vote until a couple of months after November anyway. :/


I think I'll just hitch hike to Canada.

You are on the cusp of one of the potentially most important elections of America's lifetime. (I know, many Republicans don't think so.) But it has already been a history changing election season, and that was just the primaries.

Why would you hitch hike to Canada, when you are in the US for one of the most exciting election cycles EVER? It doesn't matter if you are old enough to vote or not. The person elected will affect your life. So you have two choices: be apathetic and ignore, or get interested and talk about it. You surely have friends who can vote. What do they think? Talk to your parents or other people. This is one of the things that is not only our right, but is our responsibility as people with the freedom to choose thier leader. Many people in the world aren't that lucky. It's easy to get spoiled, but we have already lost a lot of freedoms over the last 6 years, and I hope we don't lose more.

That is all true. I actually have been discussing the election a lot with friends and other people. It is truly a big deal, and that's why I'm feeling so overwhelmed. Knowing that I'm going to be out in the world on my own soon and having to worry about rent/gas/food/ect. has gotten me pretty stressed.

The bad part is, I don't find myself having much faith in either Obama or McCain. I'm not sure if they are just talking to get themselve in the white hourse, or if they are really concerned about the people of America. I've been trying to learn more and more though.

To be completely honest, I sort of wanted Hillary Clinton to be president. :/

Man you're a dipshit.

Oh my good GOD... I really can't believe it! I really do need to spell everything out for you don't I? When I was talking about caring about what you have to say, it's in response to me getting defensive and taking things personally. SO; when I say I don't care about what you have to say, it means I don't care ENOUGH to take things personal or to get defensive!!! Geez, I've seen slow, but this is just ridiculous... I suggest you sort out your ego problem, and stop looking for shit becuase it's pretty sad; especially from a grown man!
