Who are you leaning in the race for the Presidency

[plugnickel]

Just wanted to see what people on TS is thinking on the November election of the US Presidency race.

I have avoided the other political threads simply because people can get too excited and emotional on touchy subjects.

I am all for McCain and gotta love the advertisement that pops up with this thread.

Thanks for the great video. The people need to know what the real threat is out there. I have 14 years of service to this country and seen a lot of 'stuff' overseas. They don't like our way of life.

Interesting read: snopes.com: Who Is Barack Obama?

This is not an Obama endorsment, however, I don't feel the people really know what most of the crap is. Let us get to the honest truth and know the leader who will run our country (and be my boss). We need foreign policy. We need a strong supporter of the troops. We need a level head to get us through the tough times.

Let the flaming begin. I spent the entire day on the Harley...nothing could bring me down from this high.

You're being short sighted if you think he can't make things worse then they are today.

Here's the features of an Obama Presidency:

HighER Gas Prices (no gas tax cuts or new drilling)
More Gun Control (criminals need all the help they can get)
Higher Taxes (new social programs require new funding)
Military Cutbacks (only can tax the folks so far, right?)
Defeat in Iraq (if it gets any harder he'll bolt, he will want to be reelected)
More Industries Overseas (they have a way around taxes, we don't)
Fewer None Government Jobs (see above)

None of these things will help our economy, our pocket books or world position.

just a few examples to think about.

Clinton simply danced on the economy rebound set in place by the prior administration.

Clinton really screwed up our foreign policy. He was offered Osama Bin Laudin's (SP?)head on a silver platter for a mere $100,000. Clinton refused and said Al Queda was not up on war crimes so he sould be tried in a US court. Look how bad he screwed up Somalia!?!

Those of us in the military suffered greatly under Clinton and still feel the effects today. All the current base closures and budget cut backs were placed into law during the Clinton administration.

Obama's all for CHANGE!

[mostsleek]

I am going to write myself in. Maybe some other people will just say screw it I am voting for that guy and point at me. I just need to be every poll at the same time. I might need some beer to pull this off.

does it benifit you?


This whole election is a serious waste of time both have some serious flaw's. If we want another George W in Office let's vote for the other Guy(Mccain). Seriously the concept in this country is like a country club i'll give you something in return if you give me your votes. Wile Obama in my opinion seem's to young and experinced he doesn't really focus on the topic's all too well either. Whatever happened to personal odservations based on what you say and do. I guess society is too buzy to read into the fine print.

Oh yea did you guy's know for a 2 term prisident term Obama think's the term is 10 year's try again and I received an A plus in history . Every four years, Americans elect a president and vice president. Every two years, Americans elect all 435 members of the U.S. House of Representatives and approximately one-third of the 100 members of the U.S. Senate. Senators serve staggered terms of six years each.

Bill Clinton now only f up that but his open Trade effected the free Trade in the country as a whole which benifited certain Retailers in this country. Since Hillary was in the board of directors for one retail based company in Arkansas i am not surprised.For those not in the know, Hillary Clinton served on Wal-Mart’s board for six years prior to her husband’s run for the presidency.I believe it speaks to the incumbent’s close ties to abusive corporate power her large corporate financial contributions, her support for so-called “free trade” (which is simply trade to benefit corporations) and her unwillingness to confront corporate power ). Like i stated before it's all who you know.

I am glad that I am not living south of the 49th parallel where the so called "Presidental Race" cumulatives in a chaotic election where corruption is present ever more every 4 years.

Sanosuke!
