August 10, 200817 yr Both need to employ more coherent speech writers. With so many trees in the city you could see the spring coming each day until a night of warm wind would bring it suddenly in one morning. Sometimes the heavy cold rains would beat it back so that it would seem that it would never come and that you were losing a season out of your life. But you knew that there would always be the spring as you knew the river would flow again after it was frozen. When the cold rains kept on and killed the spring, it was as though a young person had died for no reason. In those days though the spring always came finally but it was frightening that it had nearly failed.
August 10, 200817 yr I would say Obama because at least he claims to be able to bring change to America. I would love to see some reformation and change happen, rather than the boring usual flow of the past 16 years. I believe we should emulate the UK more to be honest. (As in gun control, etc.) I also like Obama's stance on GLBT rights. He wants to bring about marriage and more equality laws for the GLBT community (unlike McCain.) and he looks beyond his religious beliefs and empathizes for this community. Also I like him because he's African American. That'll be a change in the norm for US society. Yes, a lot of people will throw piss fits about it, but it's a major change and will make this election a first in history of the US. Not only that, but Obama is very encouraging and has a great charisma about him. I like that in a candidate. As for McCain, he's endorsed by Bush, who wasn't a very successful president. McCain says that people should not be discriminated against, yet he's strongly opposed to anti-discrimination laws and equal marriage laws for the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender community. That's a contradiction. He only caters to Evangelicals, rather than the rest of the nation. Also he appears a little weak to me. Plus, he's very old and possibly is still suffering trauma after being tortured in the Vietnamese War. We don't need a potentially unstable President. As far as the down side to the Democrats that they can't prove how they'll achieve their goals, you also cannot deny that it's not impossible to achieve them. I believe anti-discrimination laws, equal marriage laws, ending the Iraqi war, etc. aren't that far-fetched, especially with the Democratic majority in the House and Senate. I don't think it would be a good idea for a Republican to be elected with that majority because of conflict that will inevitably ensue. Basically, neither politician is perfect, but I would chose Obama over McCain any day of the week. Just my PoV here. Also I would like to point out that it doesn't matter who is elected, our country's problems will not be sorted overnight. It will take several regimes to really keep the country moving forward and more towards a near-perfect society. SWAG Mayn U wanna be like me but U can't be me cuz U ain't got ma swagga on.
August 10, 200817 yr I love how he brought the fist bump to politics, and his wife brought it to the women of The View. Pretty soon it'll replace the hand shake. You mean the "terrorist fist jab"? :lol: Oh man, the media is just hilarious some times. I just love how all these media commentators came out and protested the New Yorker cover when it was the media in the first place that made up the fiasco. Anyway as for who I think would be better, on face value both have good and bad points and Obama is a breath of fresh air as far as face value takes me, but I'm always suspicious of politicians. If for no other reason, I'd want Obama to win to see if his actions are true to his ambitious words. I'm sure I could sit down and compare issues to see the pros and cons of both candidates, and i would if I were American, but I don't have the time right now.
