As my avatar shows I’ll be voting for John McCain.
I really don’t have any issues with him that I think make him less ideal and that is why he has my vote. I did have questions early on that I was concerned with (as stated in my previous post), but those issues were addressed and now I am completely satisfied that he is the right one for the job.
Obama
Less ideal traits:
1) his health care plan sucks (its a fake universal health care that requires all Americans too buy insurance lol)
2) He is rich, how can he know what us normal folk go through
3) I hate all poloticians (I guess he is just better too me than the other guy)
4) he is black (no I’m just kidding but somebody had to say it lol)
Ideal traits:
1) he has a health care plan
2)If he is wealthy he must know how to handle money maybe he can get us out of the **** were in
3) he wants to get out of Iraq
4) he is not a chick (once again I’m just kidding, I def would have voted for Hilary)

From this post, am I to believe you think McCain is perfect? There must be something about him that detracts him from the additive perfect because no person is perfect.

Thank you Kyle_C.
You said “he wants to get out of Iraq” does it bother you that he has back stepped on his hard lined position of getting out of Iraq quaky to a more moderate position of waiting until he is better able to make decisions on the matter with insight from the commanders on the ground, which lend them selves to the idea that he will most likely keep troops in Iraqi until the job there is complete?

Of course not, but nobody is, I thought this was about becoming the President, not about perfection. Nobody is perfect.
Ok no one is the perfect president eather. right? or do you disagree.

I agree 100% he has been the best leader this great country has ever known… hey you guys wanna go cow tipping, then go snort a line? Maybe after that we could go build a fence along the Mexico border and get untrained guys with guns too shoot anybody who crosses it, cause you know there not people.. there just Mexicans. Oh and when people don’t like that idea we can propose a plan to charge people who make $2 a day 5000 dollars too enter our county… the American citizens wont ever catch on to the fact that the immigrants cant afford to pay $5000. If that doesn’t work we can distract the Americans from it by blowing up Iraq. Lets get started hmm I wonder if I can get them to vote me in for a second term… Maybe I can convince some really boring guy too run against me… lets get started, I don’t see any flaws in the plan…
Lolz sorry :) I am bored
Please please; I did not start this thread to get unfettered and intellectually lazy attacks on public offices. Thank you for your understanding.

Sorry about that.. you are right I apologize.

No problem, I didn’t mind it, just didn’t want it to dominate this wonderful thread with all the activity it has :p
But seriously if a person doesnt like neither candidate how do one know who to vote for?

Look at what you believe in and would like to see in a president…
For example, are you pro-abortion or pro-choice?
There is actually a really good link for topics like this.

Well first, no one says you need to vote for Obama or McCain. Many other people with different platforms run for president. Maybe if you look into them you can find someone you do like and then vote for that person.
The second alternative is to vote for the person who you think will do the least amount of damage as president.
How do you find out the other candidates? Do you just type in other candidates who are running for presidency and see what it pulls up? Ooo maybe i can ask my professor if he could give me a link to look up other potential candidates, who are probably not going to win but i would rather vote for someone i like than someone who is “popular and or known” around the world. Because if the person i voted for made this country worse than it already is im going to feel guilty… Like if i wouldve voted for Bush i wouldve felt VERY guilty

George W. Bush is an idiot, he has always been an idiot and I was disgusted with the Republican party for nominating him in 2000, McCain should have been the nominee then.
BUT, though I really can’t stand Bush and think he should never have been VOTED in as President, I do have to add that not all of the problems in especially the last 4 years have been his fault. A Democrat controlled house has also been the problem, because they have been unwilling to work with the Republican President to get anything done.
That is just one of the reasons that McCain is the better candidate, because he has a proven record of working with Republicans and Democrats to get things done.
Bob Barr all the way.
I wish Ron Paul would have been nominated but oh well.

Can you name four or more issues and/or traits that cause Bob Barr to be less ideal then you would like?
and how about Ron Paul?
I can’t think of anything off the top of my head.
But the good thing about Barr is that he wants to take America back to it’s roots. He wants to get rid of the federal reserve, income tax, the patriot act. He wants to follow the constitution the way that it’s supposed to be followed.
Research him.
Research him? hmmm as a person interested in economics the idea that Barr wants to get rid of the federal reserve is scary to me. For that reason alone it would disqualify him in my opinion as a viable candidate. Why anyone would want to give a government who can’t control its own spending direct control over the piggy bank is beyond me. Why anyone would want to give politicians direct control over the only institute who can manipulate the economy in the short term, ie during an election, is beyond me as well. I assume Barr wants to cut spending loads and wouldn’t think of manipulating the economy just to win an election, but how could he possible control every one else into not doing so after he give them the power to do so? Its like giving child a peace of candy and then asking them not to eat it while you go away for a second. Sooner or later that child is going to eat the candy.
Same thing turned me off to Paul, as president he wanted to excurses as little executive control as possible. Sounds good to me. But did he really think that congress would simply see this gesture and follow suit. No of course not, they would simply take advantage of his use of power and usurp more.

Hey DA 11, what do you think?
I looks like I will be voting for McCain unless something changes between now and November.
Less then ideal traits about McCain are:
He is older and more stiff then I would like my president to be. FDR was in a wheel chair and turned out to be a good president, but unfortunately times have changed.
McCain is boring and not inspiring
He did not stick to his convictions on some issues, like illegal immigration for example but instead changed his position in order to appeal to his party base.
His personal life with his family is less honorable then I would like to see from a man
He is too quick to temper and it has gotten him into trouble in the past, who knows what trouble he can get into by it being president.
He is a Washington insider, when what the country wants is a new government (as evidenced by the low approval ratings of congress)
He appears to be week on the subject of economics

You think Iraqi is still in a state best described as a quagmire? Or you just dont want to be in that state again in the future?
This reply has been removed.
Actually due to the Surge that McCain supported Iraq is more stable, not so much a quagmire anymore.

Getting rid of the federal reserve scares you?
It needs to happen.
When the international bankers ‘loan’ the money to our government they do it at interest. This means that we are paying the amount of money being loaned to us plus an additional charge of interest. And since this is our only source of money, what does that mean? With this system, our government will be in debt to the international bankers, and it is impossible to get out of this debt because the only way to get money, is to go back through the bankers, in turn MAKING MORE DEBT.
America was formed to get away from this stuff. England was starting to do run this system right before we split ways with them. People like Bob Barr and Ron Paul just want to take America back to the way it is meant to be.
The Federal Reserve Union will do nothing good for us, only bad.
Thomas Jefferson even said, “I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies … The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs.”
Oh, and FDR was NOT a good president and I really wish people would quit buying in to that.
