I have to 2nd this.. Doesnt matter who. Thats the great thing about politics and democracy^^

 

don't know who i'm gonna vote for, probably democratic, but i'm a huge liberal.

 

Im voting for darknigh lol ( inside joke ).

 

yes yes, definately

 

i wish people would really actually know the policies of the nominees before just saying, hey i kinda want a change because i dont really like the way it is now, and they could make it better. But you dont even know how or what they want to do. One of my favorite quotes for things like this is:

"Sometimes the devil you know is better than the devil you dont know"

Please do your research and listen to the news before you make an imature decision about who your voting for. And im not talking about those gay speeches they make that doesnt really say anything besides a bunch of drunken promises. Especially i love how people just say a democrat will make the economy better.

Here is my little description of the democrat policy on taxes. They wish to tax more, not just more on big buisiness (but obviously thats the bulk of it) but more on the middle class as well. Now that will effect you in two different ways. The first is that you will be paying more taxes (thats the direct effect). However there is an indirect effect which is that they are now taking more money from buisnesses (in which they are already paying most of the taxes in the country anyway). Now how do you think these buisinesses are going to adjust to this....by cutting back on what they can give to the empoyees (wages, how many they can have, ect.).

 

That's a verygood point. When big business is taxed more it comes out of the consumers pocket, period. When the people (sometimes listed as 'the rich') who make the jobs have to pay their employees more than what the business can support because of compulsory taxes, they have to let employess go. That's you and me that loose jobs because of the fervor to tax the 'rich'. We are not undertaxed, we are overtaxed, and I do not want another program nor entitlement.

 

exactly, alot of people dont realize that right now the "rich" and buisiness already pay somewhere around 75% of the total taxes now. I dont remember the exact #.

If you read up on the issues and find that you agree with a curtian politicians views then by all means feel free to vote for any of them. But do it because you agree, and not simply because you feel the country needs a "change".

 

Nicely said.

 

i actually spend a lot of time reading on the views and ideas that the presidential hopefuls tell. and really i don't like any of them, but yes i have to vote for the less evil, even though they're pretty close to the same for me.

 

I choose Obama not so much based on what I like about him as much as what I really don't like about Clinton or McCain.

I don't like McCain's economic stance on giving businesses more tax incentives to increase production, because all that will do is put more jobs in the hands of Chinese, Southeast-Asians, and Mexicans (in Mexico) thanks to our FTAs.

I don't like Clinton's socialized healthcare program both because we can't afford it and I've read reports of other countries with horrible service for anything beyond a routine checkup (Canada) and/or socialized healthcare almost bankrupting the country (France).

Obama hasn't said anything I don't like, and I have read WSJ position analysises on all three cantidates and Obama's were the ones I liked best, especially with his proposal to give tax incentives and breaks to companies who have manufacturing done in the U.S.
