I like Obama but then there's...

[The Paperboy]

Like I said, you weren't ever voting for him, IMO, of course.

Probably not but I did consider it. I'm pretty cynical about politicians on both sides of the aisle. If Obama would agree to eliminate all pork barrel spending and only use tax increases to balance the budget I'd take a look at voting for him. I would also find it fascinating to see if he could use his obvious communication talents to deal with the Irans of the world.

As for the war I'm not sure one American life is worth a drop of Middle East oil but I am interested to see how the Middle East looks ten years from now. Personally I would rather have seen all the money we spent on the war be used to increase our own domestic oil supply, build nuclear power plants and figure out realistic alternative oil sources.

Maybe the silver lining of the war will be that we escalated by decades our energy independence.

All that being said I won't be crushed if Obama is elected. I think he might accomplish some good things.

I think both candidates are good people.

i feel it is really important for the budget to be balanced, but i dont think mccain or obama will do that. very depressing

Agreed. Like I said the silver lining could be we become energy independent sooner than later and begin to find workable sources of alternative energy. Perhaps just like the tech boom smart people will figure it out. And hopefully smart politicians will use the windfall to make us a debt free country. I'll vote for anyone who has a realistic, workable program to accomplish that!

Obama is The Messiah and the oceans will no longer rise, the planet will heal and the people will rejoice in peace and comfort.

To all you conservative whiners who want America to become a third world nation as corporation rob and steal:

LOL - get over it sissies, the left needs to paint you tools and fools for what you are, and if we have to repeat the truth a million times so be it.

A vote for John McCain is a vote against the fundamental principle of America, the right of the individual to lead their life privately without the government interfering.

Please explain this one to me, cause it sounds a bit like jealousy to me...

Another tool for corporate America. Do they create all you guys in the same lab?

Why is it the first person I think of whenever I see one of your baseless insults is YOU?

 

[chapstic]

I see none of you liberal whiners complained about this Obama troll: http://www.usmessageboard.com/751847-post2.html

haha glockmail, i appreciate it

you wouldn't catch me dead voting for 0bama.

 

[Gunny]

but only a moron becomes the first leader in history to cut taxes during wartime

And an even bigger moron raises taxes during a recession.

Jealousy is a Liberal trait, not mine.

I simply paraphrase the Messiah's words:

the great assembly line manufacturers of the 20th century can turn out cars that run on renewable energy. The dictators who hold our security hostage will see their leverage disappear along with their revenue. The oceans will no longer rise, and our planet will be preserved.

The Congress and Presidency in the hands of Democrats. And not just any Democrats. Very liberal Democrats (Pelosi, Reid and Obama). Please. I may be dumb but I'm not stupid.
