But I'll bite. I'm an Obama girl all the way. Now, lol. I used to be 100% Hillary, but since that's not an option and she's supporting Obama, he gets my vote now. He does seem like an amazing candidate. Watching the Democratic convention was, ahhh. SO emotional for me and my family (we're all big ol' Democrats :P) And even if I didn't like him all that well...It's better than G.D. MCCAIN! I'd rather drink paint stripper.

My father thinks that the worst thing he ever did in his life was to vote for Carter.
Coming from that background, and mostly hating politics, ...
I think I'm going to have to vote for Obama. I didn't do much research, don't have a lot of backup, and was probably going to vote for McCain until he picked Palin and I found out how hardcore anti-abortion she was, and how anti-environmental.
However, just for laughs, I want to share a picture of McCain from his younger days. Nobody can argue that he was a major hottie in his day, and if I were voting based entirely on good looks, he'd get my vote EASY.

What a square headed idiot.

I don't know a huge amount about it, I haven't been following it that closely...

But what I do know. McCain is an old faggot, who will continue the republican b/s until Europe finally goes to war with America.

Obama is cool. He's black, so he's definately cool. That aside, he's made some pretty decent speaches and the fact that it's so dangerous for him to run makes him a winner in my books.

Also, McCain has made a complete nipple of himself many times throughout his campaign, to the point that you'd have to be a retard to vote for him. Good thing America is full of retards.

And now irrelevent, Hilary is a psychotic b1tch.

My mother is convinced that Hillary kills people who get in their way. Reasons why I didn't like politics as a kid and continue to dislike it now.
Europe is so anti-war that I think they'd hardly raise a shotgun in their own defense, and if they went to war with the US, Russia would probably take that opportunity to sneak in the back door ... again. Funny how oil dependence can keep a war from starting just as easily as it can start it.
while I might not agree with war in general, I do get why we were in Iraq in the first place. That's not a popular opinion right now, but that doesn't mean I won't stand by it. Neither do I think that Bush is the most godawful president America ever had ... Grant anybody? Gilded Era? The only decent president was an accident.

Yeah, Europe is so anti war that they didn't bother fighting two of the biggest wars the world has ever seen, while America sat on their hands until Japan started playing up :P...

I hate the whole "if it weren't for us, you'd be speaking German" argument, but ...
The US saved the day in WWII, but we get blamed for being a previously uninvolved aggressor in Iraq?
The Munich Agreement - Europe giving up land to the aggressor rather than fight a war. Too bad that didn't work out for them.
I don't think we'll be able to come to an agreement here, Anon. Our political and historical opinions are much too different.

I'm sorry, but this pisses me off to no end. If she were a man, any aggression on her part would only be seen as her willingness and ability to be a strong leader. Because she's a woman she's a psychotic nutjob? My god. People are so intimidated by the fact she's a strong, intelligent woman. It's just so...pathetic. If you can give me one good example of something she's done that's psychotic, I'll shut up. If not, you shut up. K?
