I'm not an Obamaniac or anything, but his foreign policy is light years ahead of anything else we've had in possibly the history of our country. The biggest thing I look for right now is a candidate who will make a concerted effort to end Western Imperialism, which is mainly the US at this point. I doubt he'd really accomplish much but at least he'd try and hopefully it wouldn't get worse. I also don't care much about education, unless the candidate advocates real reform instead of just an idiotic 'more funding' rhetoric. Our public school system doesn't need more money, it needs better management of that money.

Yes, because anarchy is the answer.

Not being experienced isn't the same thing as being bad. Especially since he picked someone with experience as vice.

Yeh, because having even one more party with any say in our government is anarchy.

That's meaningless, see Bush\Cheany for an example. Experience aside, Obama has should nothing to suggest any change will come with his potential presidency anymore then McCain. McCain is exceedingly qualified based on his contributions to this country alone and Obama, while not very clever himself can deliver a well written speech with charisma and charm rivaled only by Clinton in recent memory.

I was being sarcastic...You implied that it was anarchy, hence my response.

Yeah, he picked someone who called him inexperienced only months beforehand.

Call it a "bold move" or whatever it was, but do you honestly think Biden would still say he's inexperienced if he wanted to be his running mate?

I've never liked Obama since he wanted to do that whole ban gun thing.
You're supposed to uphold the constitution, not try to change it.

Nevermind the fact that once guns are outlawed, the only one with the guns are the outlaws.
I try not to get to wrapped up in politics, it's such a headache.
And I don't know a whole hell of alot of what's going on, but put it this way.

If you were a psychopath and wanted to go on a shooting spree at a college, would you choose a completely defenseless college where guns were not allowed on campus, or would you choose a college where the campus police are armed?

Obama can talk. Alot. And very well. And if he proves me wrong, I'm not going to be asshurt about it. If he's elected, I hope I eat my words.

I do not approve of everything McCain wants to do, but I'd rather have him over Obama.
No one I wanted to win will get the chance anyway.

A side note..how exactly (in your views) did Clinton actually obtain a surplus?

Son of JayJamJah 08-29-2008 08:18 PM
