OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!

[Harold]

If I could vote, I would vote for McCain. Obama's economic plans are just not fit for the current economy. Take money out of the pockets out of the very people that we pay for our goods will just result in offsetting the loss in prices and thus digging into the tax cuts he gives to the middle class. A national health care system is just another strike to the national debt, something the economy is not looking for. Obama has himself stated that the national health care problem will be put off by the current economic crisis, and none of us know how long it is going to continue. Don't forget that a while back Obama voted against the regulation of these huge national corporations that got us into this mess.

A lot people are just voting for Obama because they want to vote against the republican candidate because they think he's another Bush. Although he has voted with Bush 90% of the time, not every piece of law that Bush has put into effect has been of no value or worthless.

The fact remains that McCain has constantly been a maverick in Washington, and has put his hand over the aisle constantly to keep the country on track. Obama has nothing in the books that shows him doing so, mostly being that he is mostly one of the most far left presidential candidates we have seen in a long time. It doesn't help that his vice presidential candidate is also sitting in the far left. If those who don't know what I'm talking about when I say far left, I mean a huge amount of government involvement in your day to day life. "Spreading the wealth" may sound like a good idea, but this is borderline socialism, a sort of government that is a threat to the liberties that we have. People should not rely on the government to do everything for them.

In this discussion there are few things that caught my eye. First of all, let's pull the age thing off the table. Age may be a factor in the election, but it shouldn't affect your opinion enough to vote for a candidate that may or may not be against your own principles! McCain has been an advocate of pulling out of Iraq since his campaign started and he has constantly called for a pullout that will not end up threatening the safety of our nation, hence his famous "10 more years" quote which comes from the thought that we may well be there for another 10 years until the peace can be maintained without our help. Obama is not thinking about stealing our information through healthcare. Come on, that's outrageous. He has better things to do than that. As for Ron Paul, there's a reason why he has almost no support in this election...

Also, both candidate have already outlined their plans for the future (they both have their economic plans posted online), so I don't know what you're talking about when you say McCain doesn't have a plan for the future. Just because someone has more attack ads than another person doesn't make them any worse than someone who has attacked them. If you take two punches at me, and I take only punch at you, that doesn't mean I am a better person than you.
