MOCK US ELECTIONS!!!

[TOOLiTTLETOOLATE]

Anyone watch the last presidential debate? It was pretty interesting...I was with Obama the first two, but this one I was sort of leaning towards McCain. He seemed to do pretty good in my opinion...

I watched bits and parts of it.
Personally I think it's kinda late for McCain to finally start attacking Obama..
He should have been doing that along time ago if he wanted a real chance at winning.

Even though I don't support Obama, he's most likely going to win.

[Melindabear2002]

I'm going with Obama, here is something that some you may not know if you're American. If McCain were elected into office he wants to pour more troops into Iraq, the number he wanted to pour in could only be reached by bringing the draft back. But if this were ever done the age would be raised to 30, include women, and there would be exceptions only for medical reasons. This isn't the reason I'm choosing Obama, I wouldn't go for medical reasons and I don't think that it would go that fair since it wouldn't be just him, but to be honest, I can't tak another 4 years of Bush. And McCain voted with Bush 91 percent of the time, that's not the chance we need. And if a women were to ever hold an office as high as Palin would hold she would need to be smart and strong and while Palin is both, she is not polished enough. Other leaders would need to be able to see how strong she is, for some places it's going to take a woman beyond what she is to gain respect. And that being the case it could ruin how other countries look at us, and if another woman ever had another chance at an office like this. So on election day I'm Obama unless he does something that really scares me.

[Melindabear2002]

Right, so putting a Democrat in office would be much better.
Hope you like your gas prices at $4-$5 a gallon.

i'm pretty sure they've been that high with a republican in office.

Ahhh, but Obama doesn't approve of drilling on our own soil...
We have more than enough to sell our own instead of having to buy from Middle Eastern and Central American countries.

It would be a lot cheaper as well. However, it would take time.
But if gas prices keep going up, the average American isn't going to be able to afford to go anyplace.
Gas prices don't just affect driving, either. It affects everything.

Yep Oil is even used to make the shoes we were on our feet. But to be honest the president in office can't be all to blame for the situation we're in now. It goes back a long way, and by 2010 we will have peeked oil production around the globe, and if we tried to find new places to drill we could damage the environment more than we have and it would be irrepairable. We need a tighter clamp on what's on the road as far as cars, trucks, suvs and other things, and try to find new ways to travel. Americans use 25% of all the oil used around the glober every year. There have been electric cars made succesfully and high school students finding new ways to power cars. If they can do it surely our government will. McCain has backers from oil companies so someone I don't think that's going to be tops on his "to do" list.

Heh you say that like your reputation hasn't divebombed already, thanks to the past 8 years. I agree though, Palin is not strong enough to lead a country. I don't give a toss if she's a hockey mom (wtf is a hockey mom? Why define yourself by your kids' hobbies like that?!). She doesn't exactly command respect.

True most of the globe hates America. And to be honest I'm proud to be American but I can see why people hate us. I myself don't agree with everything we stand for. But I don't think Palin would help. And given that you have a VP in case something happens to a president even if he isn't killed but he can't run the country, if he ends up in the hospital or something, and McCain isn't the picture of health. Palin is not a solid person to take over.

i am so proud to be an american, although i really can't stand george bush. he has made our reputation worse and i think putting another republican in office would do nothing. barrack obama wants change, and sure i think john mccain would be better than bush but he made a terrible mistake when he picked palin as his vp.

To be honest most of the world hasnt' liked us since before Bush. He just didn't help, even our own allies don't like us. That's sad. I just think that there are too many things that Bush has done that McCain agrees with him on. And I voted for Bush but now I wonder if we'd be better off now if Bush hadn't been elected again

For all you liberals, here are some fun things to look at:

Her Resume:

-Business/Professional Experience: Television sports reporter, 1987-1989; Co-owner of a commercial fishing operation, 1988-2007; owner, sport vehicle rental business, 1994-1997; chairwoman, Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, 2003-2004

-Political Office: Governor of Alaska, elected 2006; mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, 1996-2002; Wasilla City Council, 1992-1996

- Bachelor's degree in journalism (with a minor in political science) from the University of Idaho. It took her 6 years and 5 school transfers to obtain this degree.

- Threatened a lawsuit to stop the listing of polar bears on the endangered species list, fearing that it would hurt oil and gas development in the bears' habitat off Alaska's northern and northwestern coasts.

- Is responsible for approving a $400,000 state-funded propaganda campaign to justify Alaska's barbaric wolf slaughter from the skies.

- Zero Foreign policy experience, if you exclude her negotiating with foreign energy companies to exploit American resources.

- She has a total of a little under 2 years in state government. In comparison, Sen. Obama has 7 years of experience in state government and 3 years in federal government.

- She backs capital punishment, and opposes same-sex marriage.

- Supported Alaska's decision to amend its Constitution to ban same-sex marriage and would support a ballot question to deny benefits to homosexual couples.

- Although Palin is aware of a climate change, she fails to recognize that we, as gas-guzzling humans, have played a large part in it. She is not interested in alternative energy choices. She's interested in drilling in the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge.

- Palin said in a 2006 debate that she supports teaching creationism alongside evolution in public schools on the grounds that "healthy debate is so important."

- Palin never left the country before July 2007 when she needed to first obtain a passport before visiting Alaskan National Guard troops stationed in Kuwait.

- As mayor, former city officials and Wasilla residents said that Palin approached the town librarian about the possibility of banning some books, though she never followed through and it was unclear which books or passages were in question.

- As mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, Palin enforced a policy of charging rape victims for their own rape examinations: an exam that costs $1200.

- Palin is against Stem Cell Research.

-In an interview with Couric, Palin defended her puzzling claim that geographic proximity makes her some sort of expert on Russia; went nearly blank when queried about McCain's achievements as a big-business regulator; agreed America "may find itself" on the road to another Great Depression; and, promoting a troop surge in Afghanistan, casually suggested that it "will lead us to victory there, as it has proven to have done in Iraq."

- In an interview with Couric, Palin was asked to cite an example of a newspaper or magazine that she read regularly prior to being named as McCain's running mate. Three separate times, Couric tried to elicit a response from Palin about which specific newspapers she reads. Seemingly caught off guard, Palin could not name a single news source, but when pressed, she replied that she has read "all of them."

- She can see Russia from her house.

And there are so many more that could've been put there.

Here's her debate flow chart:

Oh man...that is so right. I'm glad you posted that. Don't forget to add national laughing stock to her list of accomplishments.
