I think the majority of people are voting for Obama because HE is the best candidate for the job. I know that I am.
McCain is more of the same with a “bimbo” on board for the ride and on November 4th history will begin.
“Joe the Non-Plumer’ is a Republican Right Wing Extremists destroying OUR country and needs to be put in his place. :flush:

Discuss how we can rid the US of Democrat Left Wing Extremists that are destroying OUR country.I like the idea of having a congress that will get something done other than fighting with ALL types of Extremists that are destroying OUR country like McPalin would do. :tongue:

A plumer eh? What the hell is a plumer? haha
nah, joe is just a regular middle class guy, but then again, many democrats like Obama consider people like that extremists, which is another reason I won’t vote for Obama.

Good for you. I’m sure that McPalin needs every single vote they manage to get! :roflmao:
Joe the plumber will benefit under Obama’s plan and therefore, is why the entire campaign is a waste of time, but McPalin (as usual) is out of touch and nearly out of time! :santa2:
the last week is the best week in american politics. love the fighting on tv.
especially fog news.Did you see that O’Reilly poll, fog news has 40% negative stories and 40% positive stories.
All the other stations were like 70% positive for Obama and 30% positive for McCain.Everytime I turn on fog news they’re bad mouthing Obama about taxes, Ayers, Wright and now this tape.
Maybe it’s just me but I find CNN much more fair and balanced.

Oh yea, I agree with you on that! I love CNN and the Live Stream is awesome.
When you have to TELL folks that you are ‘fair and balanced’ then you have a problem. :roflmao:
I watch all three daily and love to watch Keith/MSNBC & Bill/FOX take shots at each other because they are funny as heck. You would think they were two females! :tongue:
This election season has been the most intersting one in my history and I’m so glad that I started paying attention almost a year ago. :cappy:
Where are all the poor ass people voting for Obama from, I though bill Clinton made them all rich? Where did all these broke ass jokes come from? (For gametrack im talking about both white and black poor ass people btw)
The Tax plan Obama has only makes poor people have hope, they wont go anywhere unless they DO IT THEMSELVES.. Lazy ass people wont become non lazy if the fing goverment keeps paying them to be that way.
American dream is not a handout, its an opporunity but more and more people have their damn hands out expecing to be equal with no effort. A vote for Obama is a vote to screw this country plain and simple. Look at Jimmy Carter, same BS that set this country back 20 years.
You democrats are all blind and get caught up in the “hype” and the deceptive “smooth talk” of Obama, this pretty much sums up Obama:
Sure he seems like a nice guy, but he sure is good at hiding things. The democrats are good at ignoring facts and passing them up as trivial. It’s almost unpatriotic to vote for someone with that many bad ties.

whaaa…display of patriotism is in the fact that you care and vote. and the premise of voting is based on having more than 1 person compete, thus you vote. thats a bad comment man.
edit:
a few weeks ago you told me to go and educate myself, so i’ve taken your valuable criticism and not only completed a masters degree but also kept on reading many articles on the current state of affairs. like the article on esquire titled Why Not to Vote for McCain, and that Reagan Appointee and (Recent) McCain Adviser Charles Fried Supports Obama .if “important conservative thinkers” like Fried are supporting Obama, then for sure this supports the vast majority of this forum’s opinion that Obama’s agenda is much better than McCains.
Probably, John McCain and Sarah Palin will lose this election. Certainly, they deserve to.
With a campaign designed more to play on insecurities than promote ideas, McCain and Palin have practically framed Barack Obama’s “closing argument” for him. “The question in this election is not ‘Are you better off than you were four years ago?’ ” Obama told an audience Monday in Canton, Ohio. “We know the answer to that. The real question is ‘Will this country be better off four years from now?’ “
The Republicans don’t even try to formulate an answer, and with Obama’s lead growing by the day, it’s hard to imagine what might turn things around. An “October surprise” international incident might end up working against McCain rather than for him, given his all-over-the-map reaction to the financial crisis. The vaunted Republican get-out-the-vote machine looks almost puny beside Obama’s next-generation juggernaut.
There’s always race, of course, and we can’t say with certainty whether there’s some huge, hidden racist vote out there just waiting to emerge Tuesday. My hunch is that race is already factored into the poll numbers – that it has already been “discounted by the market,” to use the financial jargon that’s so fashionable these days. I believe that race is a subtext of Republican attack words such as “dangerous” or “socialist,” and that it’s the real target of the attempt to paint Obama as unknown, mysterious, exotic and somehow alien. My guess is that voters who are responsive to this kind of coded appeal have already responded.
So we’re not likely to see some kind of deus ex machina salvation for McCain, Palin and their down-ticket allies, and that’s as it should be. It’s not just that they have run a weirdly erratic campaign, bitingly sarcastic one minute, earnestly serious the next, uncertain whether to present McCain as a serious, experienced statesman or a hyper-caffeinated, overeager publicist for Joe the Plumber. It’s not just that Palin, and let’s be honest, should never have been allowed anywhere near the ticket – and certainly not anywhere near those frocks from Saks and Neiman Marcus.
More damning is the fact that at a time when it could hardly be more obvious that Americans desperately want to change direction – more than 80 percent tell pollsters the country is on the wrong track – the Republicans offer nothing new.
That’s a shame. McCain’s repeated references to “maverick” have drained all meaning from the word, but it’s true that he’s an iconoclast with little reverence for Republican orthodoxy. Why he chose, in an election that was always going to be decided by independents and Reagan Democrats, to campaign on a platform of slavish devotion to Republican orthodoxy is beyond me.
On the economy, McCain offers some relief for homeowners facing foreclosure, but only within a context of classic Republican trickle-down economics. He wants to lower taxes on business and rejects Obama’s plan – raise income taxes for the wealthy and lower them for the middle class – as rampant socialism. If you set aside the incendiary rhetoric about class warfare that McCain and Palin have been tossing around, basically what they propose is staying the course that brought us to this point of global crisis.
McCain makes much of wanting to get rid of congressional earmarks; everybody wants to get rid of earmarks, except the one that benefits my community or my industry. He proposes an across-the-board spending freeze – during a recession? – and then, in the next breath, proposes new spending. He overestimates the voters’ tolerance for incoherence.
On foreign policy, once the centerpiece of McCain’s campaign but now mostly an afterthought, McCain promises “victory” in Iraq and Afghanistan without telling war-weary voters how much more time, money or blood he will spend.
In choosing a running mate, McCain made absolute mockery of his “country first” slogan and instead put politics above all other considerations. It suffices to note that the Anchorage Daily News – the biggest newspaper in Palin’s state – endorsed Obama, saying that Palin was being stretched “beyond her range” and that she clearly is not ready to be “one 72-year-old heartbeat from the leadership of the free world.”
It’s hard to imagine that a McCain presidency could possibly be as scattered, irresponsible, uninspiring and intellectually bankrupt as the McCain campaign. It’s even harder to imagine that Americans, at this crucial juncture, will take that risk.
