So I'm not all that surprised that no one has been talking about the presidential election, but i'd like to know what everyone thinks of our canidates.
I first thing I heard about John McCain was that he was going to try to abolish the acts that went against our constitutional rights, but I havn't heard anymore about it. I dont know much about his campaign other then that he is going to make things better for old people and he wants to keep fighting in Iraq and drilling offshores and make abortion illegal.
As for Obama, I think he is just a pure fake. I feel like everything he does and says is just to make people who are sick of Republicans vote for him. He claims to be part of the "middle class" and acts like he's part of us, but when wallstreet was going to hell and all those banks went under, he had a few close friends who walked away with over a million dollars. And he is using some of that money to help run his campaign. He and McCain had agreed to not do commercials, cause they couldnt afford it, but then Obama went and did it anyway. One of stand was political campaign finance reformation, where people who have friends in "high places" and make money from crooked corperations cant run. But he took more money for his campaign than anyone else. Alot of politicians are claiming to try to bring a reformation, no one has yet to accomplish this. And, to boot, if you look at Obama's term as state senate of illinois, he claimed he would decrease the amount of money that the state would spend, and he increased it. It's obvious he is no man of his word, and I dont trust him.
Abortion- I for one am kind of torn up about abortion. About 90% of 'fetus'' are aborted when they have been diagnosed with downsyndrom before birth. I just think thats plain fucked up. I also think partial-birth abortion is fucked up. I'm not against abortion if it is a matter of the womans own health, that it might cause death to her to give birth. But i also think that the world is way too over populated and with so far about 38 million legal abortions since it was legalized in the 70s, I can only wonder how much different things would be if we had that many more people procreating! I have no idea of how anything about that subject could be solved, either way it seems fucked.
I dont have any sources, so I'm not garunteeing that everything I have said is true to any degree but my own understanding.
THIS IS JUST WHAT I THINK. I'D LIKE TO HEAR WHAT EVERYONE ELSE THINKS OF OUR PRESIDENTIAL CANIDATES...
