Okay, I know it's pointless to argue who is "going" to be president with how things look at the moment, but we can still debate on who "should" be president. I don't want to hear anyone saying "Oh well, obama already won". Last time I checked, it isn't November 4th.
Any way, here is how it breaks down WITH NO PREJUDICE:
War Strategy:
--Obama:
He plans on pulling out, no questions asked. This would lead to about a week of peace and then we'll see Iraq and Afiganistan break out in civil wars. In about a month or two following this we will see HUGE boosts in gas prices, followed by an even higher raise in world travel. Next, in about 5 months, the civil wars will be brought to America. No matter what you see in this war, you cannot forget that the biggest contributing factor is that it is being pushed by a group of people who hate the modern world, and the modern world is lead by the ideals of the "American Way of Life". Thus, they have a tremendous hatred of America and what we value. They will try to ask us to ally with a side, because they will feel that since Obama has had PAST MUSLIM SCHOOLING (not current, he's christian, not a muslim. Dear god, get your facts straight before you argue something that will change the world.) he will side with them. After we say no, they will undoubtedly begin to attack the cities. Probably starting in the subway systems and then moving to buildings. Thus, Obama's plans for leaving the war will do no more than bring it back to life 7 years ago.
--McCain
McCain wants the war to end. Seriously, no joke. Anybody alive in the world wants this war to end. However, McCain knows that you can't just be a **** ***** and cry to your ***** *** parents about a problem you don't want to be in. We're in this war and we can't leave. Stop being babies about it. I swear to god, if you people would just realize that the mistake has been made and we have to live with it. THERE IS NO BACKING OUT!!! The only way to actually end this war is to eradicate enough of the problem to set up safe precautions against possible attacks in the country that the war is being held in. Basically, we have to make sure we kill more of them then they kill us. Then, we have to set up local Military camps that can hold their own. As long as they don't die off quicker than they can kill, it will be fine. But first we have to own up to our title of being the "Strongest Country" and actually do something for once. So basically, in the end, McCain's strategy will take longer, and will probably involve more recent deaths, but it will be far far far more effective and safer for the nation overall.
Economy:
--Obama:
He wants to lower taxes for all people making less than $250,000 a year and raise taxes of big business. This is a trick to make people think they are making more money. You aren't, and you are just falling into a political trap. It wont help you at all. Sure, you'll be paying less and thus you keep more income. However, you have to realize that if the company you work for is being taxed more, then they will being to pay you less to compensate for the loss. Thus, you are taxed less, but paid less as well. So in the end you make the exact same amount you are now. Woo-hoo...
--McCain:
His tax plans will effect less people, but they allow businesses to pay the people that work for them the same. Thus, although less people get tax breaks, the people that do will actually benefit. And most likely, the people that actually get effected are the ones that really need the money.
Energy:
--Obama:
He support clean energy. Enough said. However, gas prices will probably rise due to our trying to get away from it. Also, as we switch to different fuels there will be periods of time where gas will be nearly a fortune and you wont be able to access the new energy yet. Although the transition will be rough, it will greatly be worth it.
--McCain:
Supports drilling. This will help the economy, and will most likely supply thousands of jobs. However, it will only help global warming get worse and will screw us up in the future. Personally, me being the next generation and all, I really want to live past 40 without burning to death from solar radiation or suffocate in my own CO2 footprint...
To Brad:
Hey, you replied while I was typing so forgive the contriteness of this post lol.
Bush actually didn't have a say in the war. If you look at congressional documents then you would find that Cheny's speech declared war and that bush never gave any say untill after the fact. It was the first war in American history that the congress, nor the preisdent, had a say and that was declared solely by the vice president. Although Bush is a huge backer of the war and most definitely used it to gain Oil power, he didn't start it.
Also, the war may have been used to find non-existent WMD's it was justified in that we found extreme anti-American views and groups that were planning on attacking America again. There are documents about this. You can't say I'm wrong, and if you do try to then you're the one that is uninformed and you are the one that believes what you are told and not what you yourself have uncovered.
The terrorist groups we against now had a two step plan.
1) Eradicate new ideology in Rome and reclaim they're rightful land.
2) Eradicate the place that started the new ideology. This included the Americas (not USA, the America's as in the Continents)
It would've been a matter of years till we were attacked. Personally, I would rather start a war to soon for them in their land than allow them to get ready and bring it to us. They're innocent are worth less to me than ours. It's the way the world is. Is your family worth more to you than mine? Obviously you want them safer than mine, and you would rather mine be in danger than yours. It's the way humans are.
