Not that fond of either, but Obama is certainly the lesser of two evils.
The fact McCain has voted with Bush 90-odd% of the time shows anyone who wants McCain probably just wants another 4 years of failed Bush-like thinking.
First of all, What do you mean lesser of two evils.
Second of all, Please explain to me what bush has done wrong. Don't even try and say "The economy."
Second of all, the economy wasn't bush's fault either, and to prove that I'll explain why. First of all, the mortgage industry is a large buisness industry for housing. Fanny Mae and Fanny Mac are the biggest companies within this industry, basically ALL mortgage transactions revolve around them. The ceo's of both are black. So knowing that, the CEO's of Fanny Mae and Mac decided, we need to get loans to people who have bad credit. (Bad credit: People who have a known cause for not paying bills, ect.) So the CEO's of these large companies decided, they needed a plan to give people with bad credit a chance to have a loan for them to get a house.
Mccain, didn't support this, and ofcourse Barack Obama had a huge say in it. He pretty much approved it, what was called 'The Minority Plan.' Like I said above, it gave loans to all Minorities who had bad credit. So billions of dollars in loans we're given to these minorites, and guess what. THEY NEVER PAID THEM BACK. WHAT a surprise, they had bad credit!
Anyways, the reasoning for this, was that, those houses that weren't payed for, were forclosed and taken by the bank. and the Bank has to SELL THEM LOW in order to get them off they're hands. This causes ALL the houses around that one foreclosed house to decrease in value. This continusly happened and no one could stop him, and eventually the housing market crashed. When that happened, the economy also started to crash over the years.
I hope you understand, that bush had little involvement of the economy and couldn't stop it from happening. THIS all was happening throughout clintons presidency and some of bush's. So after it's go this far down, you can't bring it back up for years, which is the reason to why BUSH could not fix the economy that easily.
Oh and also, Don't say the war either.
I hope you understand that the president doesn't decide whether we're going to war or not. HE has tiny say in it, but if he thinks we should doesn't mean we will.
Secondly, the WAR had to be done. Maybe you don't find it important, but the US always helps other countries when they're in trouble. Iraq, don't you realize we're trying to help them? We're fighting for their democracy, just like the Vietnamese war.
Why we aren't pulling out? Think about it, we already spent trillions of dollars and millions of lives, what's the point of pulling out at this point. Hilary clinton even agreed to that exact statement, I don't like war, not many people do, but we're trying to show our leadership just like we have in the past WHEN A DEMOCRAT WAS LEADING, but no one commented on that, ofcourse.
This had to be done also, not only for Iraq's democracy, but also Saddam had Alkhada stored around where he was hiding with toxic weapons that he was using to threatening us, and we finally had to step in.
One more thing about the war. If you think it's bush's fault we're in the war think again. President Bush had tiny say whether we go to war or not.
Anyways, tell me what bush has done wrong.
No... read my post.
I am saying people offering reasons NOT to vote for Obama are only able to supply reasons like 'He's a muslim', 'he's friends with terrorists', 'he's not American', fear mongering and untrue allegations. The majority of the McCain campaign has been run on reasons NOT to vote for Obama rather than reasons TO vote for McCain. In an election the candidates should be saying 'vote for me because..' not 'don't vote for him because...'.[/quote]
One again brad, your being completely biased and not looking at the other side.
I hope you know that WAY more democrats are voting Obama for these reasons: 'Because he's black' 'Because Bush fails' 'Because Palin is a retard
