2008 US Debates & Election

[f6fhellcat13]

I know most of you are tired of this election already but I wanted to create a thread for it anyway.
So, discuss.
I'll start.
McCain seemed on his back foot in the debate definately.
McCain suggested that if you like universal healthcare you are unAmerican(implied) and should move to Canada or UK. I couldn't tell how tongue-in-cheek this remark was.

If this thread has already been created, I did a very quick search and found nothing, feel free to delete it, mods.

Try to keep the hate to a minimum.

i went to a large cafe/coffeeshop/bar (very cool place) to watch the debate. they gave out ping pong balls to everyone there watching, maybe about 100, and when McCain said something they didnt like they chucked the balls at the TV. it was a democrat heavy crowd, and proved to be very entertaining.

I'm not going to vote and yet I've watched two of the debates. I don't like either for president really. And everyone knows how my state will go anyways.

[f6fhellcat13]

Me too, this last one and the VP debate. I used to like Obama more than I do now, but I guess, if I could vote, I'd go for good 'ol Osama.

This is awesome hehehe:

Who does that remind you of...

Socialism has worked so well in the banking system, free houses for everyone!, that I can't wait until we try it in healthcare, etc. Welcome to the U.S.S.A. Obama's comment about how the government needs to distribute the wealth just put me off completely. He has obviuosly never read the constitution. George Bush was awful but the next President will amost certainly be just as bad.

Kinda reminds me of this:

Oh, and Tina Fey for President!

Whoever I vote for it won't be for Obama or McCain. Trying to decide between Bob Barr, Chuck Baldwin, or a Ron Paul write in.

[Rockefella]

I'm votin for mah n***a Obama

[baddabang]

**** Obama. I like my guns, and their rights. **** McCain too.

I look at the Democrats and say "this is the best you can come up with?" Then I look at the Republicans and say "this is the best you an come up with?" Then I look at both Vice Presidential candidates and begin to cry. I'd rather cast my vote for Hillary Clinton then a nigger or someone likely to suffer a coronary leaving Mrs. Winks-A-Lot as president.

I'm not voting. NY runs the train on the Republicans so it doesn't really matter.

Interesting.

Is Obama a competent politician? Depends on your views. If elected, will it be because of his competency and the voters' agreement with his policies? Absolutely not.

I really don't know enough about each candidate's policies to make an informed vote (I can't vote yet anyway) or judgment either way, however, it definitely seems to me, at least in having interacted with Obama supporters and from watching TV, that he's gotten so much support because he is the "cool candidate", because hey, "It'd be cool to have a black president!". None of the people I've talked to who plan to vote for him have any reasoning to explain it. This is about the best they can come up with;

"I'm voting for Obama!"
"Well, why?"
"Because McCain sucks, he's old."

...and this is the 18-22 year old voting base that is pretty much entirely for Obama, and has no idea why other than it being the cool thing to do.

He could be the greatest politician ever, and have the world's greatest fiscal policies, and he still would only get elected because he's hip.
