Decision '08.

[Achilles]

I'm just curious as to why you personally have chosen McCain.

Careful. You're very close to falling into the same trap that I have been nearly snared in a few times. So far Rev7 simply seems to be against Obama. This doesn't necessarily mean that he's for McCain.

 

This could be that he's against Obama because he doesn't like his policies, or it might be because Sean Hannity told him not like him. Regardless, I find the whole "I just don't like your guy" mentality fascinating.

Regardless, I find the whole "I just don't like your guy" mentality fascinating.

 

The McCain supporters aren't the only ones guilty of this.

[Rev7]

Well, that's why I'm asking. I understand you're probably all "Yay, **** fags" and "hurrah, poor investment planning" for McCain, I'm just curious as to why you personally have chosen McCain. What about his policies makes you agree with him, where do you draw your lines?

Well, I am no political expert and have no experiance in this kinda thing. In fact I know very little about McCain and Obama. I have been researching into both of them when I have had time to. I did watch the debate and this is partially why I am for McCain. How one would handle the military is a very key thing, IMO. I am under the impression that McCain would use it more wisely than Obama would. Yeah, the debate on Friday evening answered some of the things that I have had on my mind regarding other countries and how each of them would handle things.

 

They were kinda just throwing statistics at each other on several occasions. That didn't answer much of what I wanted to know, other than some of the ways that they would try to cut spending.

Careful. You're very close to falling into the same trap that I have been nearly snared in a few times. So far Rev7 simply seems to be against Obama. This doesn't necessarily mean that he's for McCain.

Yeah, if you think that I just love McCain you are very mistaken. I think that Obama does have some great plans regarding education, health care, ect. Education mainly. I personally want to go to college. I want to be able to afford it. I really do because I am serious about my education. Things regarding education, I am for Obama. Healthcare for everyone would be great! Obama is a great, motivational speaker and that is an awesome characteristic to have.

This could be that he's against Obama because he doesn't like his policies, or it might be because Sean Hannity told him not like him. Regardless, I find the whole "I just don't like your guy" mentality fascinating.

No. I don't even watch Sean Hannity. Nobody has told me to like McCain. This is more of my own opinion. There are many things that I admire about Obama. When I point some of them out, even my parents don't agree with me. I am like, "you don't notice these things?!"

 

However, IMO, I think that Obama would take this country back even further. He would 'de-militarize', so to say, this country. I think that America's military is very important, and we cannot go back in such a serious hour. McCain has morals, not saying that Obama doesn't, that I can notice. I think that McCain could really lead this country. I think that Palin was a good choice as VP. That is just me though....

 

Either way, I can't vote yet. Next election I will, but not this one. That doesn't mean that I shouldn't have a voice though...

Clearly you have an excellent foundation upon which to form an opinion then.

 

Education mainly. I personally want to go to college. I want to be able to afford it.

And you're pro-McCain why?

 

I think that Palin was a good choice as VP. That is just me though....

Pretty much.

 

Either way, I can't vote yet.

Woo.

[Achilles]

How one would handle the military is a very key thing, IMO.

I couldn't agree more.

 

I am under the impression that McCain would use it more wisely than Obama would.

Why?

 

Being in the military doesn't cut it. Being a POW is irrelevant. Attending the Naval Academy might sway me, but knowing that he barely skated through (several decades ago) kinda makes that a wash.

 

They were kinda just throwing statistics at each other on several occasions.

I hope this doesn't come across as condescending, but those "statistics" are important.

 

However, IMO, I think that Obama would take this country back even further. He would 'de-militarize', so to say, this country.

Please help me understand how you came to this conclusion? I've followed Obama's campaign for quite some time and have not once seen or heard anything that makes me think this is true.

 

You said that you watched the debates Friday. If you did, then you heard him say that he wouldn't hesitate to us military force...if he deemed it necessary. Big difference between not being a chickenhawk and wanting to "demilitarize". My 2 cents.

Sorry, wut? Last time I checked being a liar was not a characteristic of a highly moral person.

You're absolutely entitled to your opinion. Just remember that voting is a serious responsibility and you have a duty to your fellow citizen to make informed decisions. Remember that when you step into the voting booth in 2012.

[El Sitherino]

Being a P.O.W. isn't irrelevant when we're discussing political strategy and warfare strategy.

A P.O.W. lost and got tortured, doesn't sound like the makings of a brilliant military leader. Not unless he took a nation by force using prisoner scum that he was locked up with as a slave in the Chinese service industry or used as a Mongol yak post.

 

This is by no means an attack on P.O.W's, I'm simply stating out of all former military people the Republicans are going with a guy that crashed multiple planes, got caught and tortured, didn't have military affects afterwards.

 

Sounds awesome to me, **** Alexander the Great.

 

Though I"ll concede, unless he's a grand chessmaster, I don't think Obama is the perfect military leader either. But then again that's why I agree with him to leave it up to the officers that went to school for this and have dedicated their careers to leading these men. From what I hear, it's when politicians get involved and make plans that **** goes a little haywire.
