Why should McCain or Obama be President
Everyone always asking Why I think Obama should be President heres why. Last year I was in a really bad car wreck. I didnt know if I was going to make it. I was in a coma for a month and when I came out of it the first thing I saw was my kids. All I could think about was them. Before he annouced he was running me and my wife where going to vote for Hilliary. But after hearing him speak and reading about him he inspired me. I know your going to say its all just a speech but its more than that. He is saying its going to take all americans to bring us out of this rut where in. We all have to do our part. Im doing that now my kids mean more to me than anything. Heres what Im doing Im buying american made products I traded my honda motorcycle in on a Hybrid malibu solar panels on my house drivng less doing all the things he's Inspired me to do. McCain doesnt do that for me. So with Obama I see a brighter future for my kids and with McCain I dont see that.
What I want to know is why should McCain be president. I want to hear about how he Inspires you not campain promises. Something from the heart no bashing but from the heart.
Thats the reason why I want Obama to be president he Inspires me to be a better AMERICAN. Thats all.:rasta::rastasmoke::pimp:

I haven't been inspired by a candidate since the Kennedy bros. Its been a while.lol
I don't think either candidate is really qualified to move this country out of the mess its in.The only choice is, Is it going to be another 4 years of all talk and no action or is it going to be another 8 years of all talk and no action.

For the last few months I have been listening and reading all I can about the choices this year....Obama I think is less poisoned by the "Inside The Beltway" type of thinking than anyone else. No one person (Obama or McCain) can fix whats wrong with this country...Its gonna take ALL of us-Democrat or Republican

Last I checked we vote based on who we feel is more qualified. Not who is a better inspirational speaker. If that were the case motivational speakers all around the nation would be running for office :hippy:

People base their votes on whatever they want.
For some it might be a strictly clinical look at the candidate's qualifications. For others it might be inspiration. For some it is purely their own self interest that they look at. For some it is partisan loyalty. For some it is ideology. Some people make all decisions based on logic, and others base decisions on emotion. And then there are psychological factors as well --- some people probably do not even know thier own motivations.

Touchè!!! I would hope people would vote on more than inspirational sounding speeches as they do not prove anything and really a solid voting record would say a lot more for what a candidate will do in office.
But different strokes for different folks I guess.

Very true, I guess I just wish people would stop using 'hype' as their reason for voting for Obama. It's a little irritating to think that our next president might be elected just because he's a good speaker and not because of what he's done during his time in politics(everyone saying they're inspired over words and no action.).
Again different strokes for different folks. :hippy:

That's pretty much the reason there's not a true democracy in the world. Imagine everyone voting on every piece of legislations, we'd have some strange policies.
Why should McCain or Obama be President
Unfortunately these elections have come down to the lesser of two evils. Like usual.
So pretty much I look at both sides views and prioritize, what can stay and what has to become a 2nd or third priority. For example: Obama says he will decriminalize weed. That's very cool and I think he's right on that one however his other views such as socialised healthcare and guns cancel ANY good that marijuana decrimilization can bring.
I don't like McCain, actually I really don't like ANY big politicians. They are all shady as can be, both sides. If the Libertarians could show me they have a fighting chance at Presidential level I WILL vote for them. Until then I will vote for them on a local and state level (or any others really).
McCain should be president because we have to pick one of them. And I agree with McCain on the slightly more "important" issues. And I'll vote for him because Obama's views are way too Liberal (and not the good Liberal views I agree with, like gay marriage, ant-religion and other social issues). I say we may just have to tough it out for another 4 years and maybe (crosses fingers) someone MUCH better than Obama and McCain and Palin and Biden will come along.

well, i know 1 true democracy: Switzerland has ballots and referendums for every piece of law the put in effect
and i cant agree more with what was said above that people vote on different basis all the time
I would say Obama's word is promising, I for one don't mind to put him to test despite his lack of experience so to speak, than using a wrecked up, cranky idiot who still insists we should "win" in Iraq, win what? the war that was started over lies? for what? win al-qaeda in Iraq... then is turn to attack al-qaeda in Iran? or maybe al-qaeda in Russia? where and when will we finish them? we started fighting communism under "containment" policy... and we had a number of bloody wars and billions of $s lost @ our debt expense, thousands of our personnel's lives lost and hundreds of thousands of innocent people killed in our wars, maybe not all by us, but wars are the price of the defenseless civilians
yet we still have our greatest rival under the red flag of communism!
this makes me wanna cry or erase all my historical.political memory, then they say why u smoke weed!
how about we get the guy who actually attacked us? where the fuck is this prior servant of anti-communist america? this mad man who then supposedly turned on us... where the F is he, fuck iraq... that state was a shithole after Kuwait, incapable of doing harm even to its next door enemy Iran!
reminds of 30 years of war to "win" Vietnam and we totally lost at the end and Vietnam remains a socialist country... funny, on good terms with us!

That's not completely true. Swiss has a parliament and laws are passed through parliament. It's just people have the right to reject laws if they collect enough signatures. By far the closest to a democracy, but not a completely democracy.
