    If its one thing that I have learned is if you want to get along with someone never talk about religion and politics…. but if you must know giving the fact that the last 8 years of the Bush Administration has really brought this countries economy into the shitter and the deregulation of wall street has caused a bunch of firms to declare bankruptcy that had there investments in the housing market… and since McCain’s policies would be almost identical to that of Bush.. Considering that McCain could die in office and Plain has even less experience then Obama (being the mayor of a town of 1,000 people to me dose not count to the national level I have been to Wasilla) and only 2 yrs as governor of a state with less then a million people? And she has a shady background I am going to have to vote for Obama sure he might have only been in the US Senate for 4 yrs but he served in the Illinois state senate for years... Representing Chicago which has a bigger population the Alaska combined...

    I universally agree with everything proposed by the Democratic party sans their near-totalitarian stance on copyright. If they would not have such agressive and forceful limitations on freedom, they would be my choice party.

    Besides, it's clear to me that voting Republican again would just be leading America to more of having an exceptionalist, anti-intellectual, pro-religious stance regarding world view, foreign affairs, and overall social issues. Granted, while America itself probably wouldn't completely dissolve due to the Executive branch, I shall say that the government should be a reflection of intellectualism, clear judgment, and high-level thinking. Definitely not the opposite.

    Im going to have to say McCain. I don't think it would be a good idea to have such a fresh face in the White House -at this time-. Not saying that Obama would never be a good president, but with these circumstances and his lack of experience, it just doesn't bode well. Its not that I am a super conservative republican that will only vote for his party, because im not. In fact, my political views are very liberal, but I can't let my views rule over who will be the better president. Just my two cents, maybe four.

    I'm going with Obama. Even though he doesn't have experience, I believe he would be a lot better president than McCain. McCain is to much like Bush for me...

    Now, I'm not an American , I'm from Europe. And I would DEFINATELY vote for Obama. I dislike everything about McCain and Palin. Weapon in America shouldn't be so easy to get - and abortions should not be illegal. I don't see the point? Of course, abortions shoudn't be something every girl should be able to get - but what if it's a 14year old girl who can't even take care of herself!

    I saw "Bowling for Columbine" by Michael Moore and I was shocked. I know he manipulates alot in the movie, but still. And what's the fuss about being a soldier and go to war and killing "for your country". I know some Americans that have lived with us, and they all wanted to be in the army. They said: death before dishonour. It is just so wrong.. Killing civil people for what? Nothing! You can't force a people to have democracy if they don't want it!
    And America should have free health insurance! it should be a right for people to go to a hospital and don't pay.

    I'm thirteen.
    Unable to vote.
    But there is no possible way I'd ever vote for Obama.
    I'm not to nuts for McCain but I will die if Obama is elected.

    Since the last eight years have been near hell, I'm looking for change. They both claim to support change, but I want it now. Barack Obama baracks your momma. :)
    I'm not saying he is perfect in the least (lacking experience and other policies he is for), but McCain promises gradual change. We don't need a ten year plan, we need something done now. I think Obama is the one to offer that. Plus Obama's lack of experience may be a big flaw, but it's not like we are electing a god. He won't have as much power as many think, but only to influence policy.
    There's my two cents.

    McCain, because I don't trust Obama. He seems like a crowd pleaser and changes his words, according to the situation. Plus, McCain is more experienced

    I dont like either of them.
    Obama's just a superior talker, thats all. He could make dying of cancer or some other disease sound great. He just says what he knows you wanna hear. He's flip flopped so many times.
    McCain has the experience but I just dont like him either, for no specific reason.
    I plan on watching the debates (recorded) this weekend and see how I feel.

    I'm not old enough to vote, but I would vote Obama if I could.
    They lowered the voting age to 18 so people couldn't go to war without being able to vote. How is that different than Me, not being able to vote but when a draft could be reinstated by the next president and I would have to go?

    After watching all the debates so far. I can say that when election day comes I'll be voting for Obama. Mainly on the views he has, and that he actually has a running mate. Unlike the joke of pick that McCain choose. McCain being as old as he is and being a cancer survivor, that leaves a 1/3rd shot of him passing away in his first term as President if elected. Leaving Hockey Mom of a Alaska to lead our great nation. Thanks for the offer, but no thanks.

    you know, if Obama does win...we will be in trouble.

    From my perspective...everyone says that President Bush is the worst president we ever he had. However, this is really false because its not his fault. We are in trouble because we have a republican president with a democratic house/senate/congress that has more members then the republics. So, with democrats controlling these places. Bush can't really get anything through.

    Now, if Obama wins, then we will probably have so many issues. Since democrats control the house/senate/congress, we know that his bill will probably have a chance passing...which can ruin us. I just don't agree with some of his ideas.

    I don't know....its tough. America is in trouble either way...simple as that.

    Btw: where's a good country that i can flee to if Obama wins?
