I thought that McCain said hew was going to stop his campaign starting today he was not going to show any ad’s on TV. I just saw one so now I’m confused did I miss something. I was really looking forward to not seeing a bunch of negative ad’s for the next few days. I guess I lose and someone lied or the tv station was not told about it!

I’m getting very tired with the “they caused this” and “They did this” thing, they did not do anything. Congress as a whole does things. I really just wish they would stick to what they are going to do and not what their opponent did. Thats one reason I love Obamas new ad where he explains what he wants to do and points you to his website to read more. I don’t know if McCain has an ad like this as I haven’t seen one, but I think he needs to start telling us what he’s planning on doing. I don’t care about the past, I care about how we are going to fix our future. The past is done and we can not do anything about it.

That said, yes I still plan on voting for Obama in the election as I agree more with his views and ideas them McCain’s. I also feel that Obama knows more about normal everyday people and their life’s. He has been though many of the same issues I have and knows what it’s like to go hungry or not have money to buy something. They say that the things you have been though make you who you are today. I feel that what Obama has experienced has made him who he is, but also will be in the back of his mind as president. I’m not saying McCain has not been though things, just that they were different things and I don’t think they really help him relate to the average person.

I am sure Brarack Obama will not forget what he stands for if he makes it to the white house, end the war and get back to where we should be. One reason he will not forget it is because of the bracelet he wears. It was given to him by a mother of a solder in Iraq, she wanted him to remember her son when he was president. Remember what he fought for and the life that was taken. McCain also wears one to remind himself of the soldiers in Iraq.

Memorial Bracelets are a great way to show that you respect the past and hope for the future. There are many types of memorial bracelets there are some for 9-11, some for Vietnam and the gulf war. I think that these bracelets are a wonderful way to show that you are thinking about what goes on in the world around you and what happens to those that fight for what we as a nation stand for. I may be against the war, but I still respect what these guys are doing every day.

I was watching the news last night and saw that McCain is leading in the polls. Okay he’s got a lead good for him, well mostly good for Palin because I once again talked to a women online last night who said she is voting for anyone but Obama, because Hillary didn’t win and it’s likely McCain won’t last though the term.

I couldn’t believe she said that, not only does she not care about the issues, she hopes McCain dies so a women is in the white house? I’m at a loss for words here. I guess this is what it has come down to for some people. They don’t care about the future of the country except that there is a women in the white house. These are the people that drive me crazy, the ones that don’t seem to listen to what the candidates say, they just see what they look like or their gender and go that way. That is no way to vote and really I hate to say it, I would rather just see them all stay home.

I don’t really care who people vote for as long as they vote for the right reasons. Even friends of Palin have not made up their minds who they are going to vote for as they disagree with some of her or McCain’s views. We need to stop looking at who has the experience and who would look better or what their gender is and look at the issues.

Here are my feelings and if you disagree feel free to Politely state your side.

Right now the economy sucks and giving tax breaks to the rich is not going to help. Why? because even with their tax breaks they have stopped spending money on some things. The rich are rich for a reason, unless they win the lottery, they are good with money. They know when to spend and when not to. They can afford to cut back as they can buy food and clothing, even overseas if they want to. If you then drop down to the middle and lower class, they spend all of their money on food, clothing and all of that, they boost the economy because they can’t buy out of the country, they buy at wal-mart, sears, JcPenny or other department store. The middle class needs the tax break to have that extra to spend.

The other argument people have is that in order to get investments and businesses going we have to give tax cuts to the rich. Again, remember they already have the tax cuts, they are not investing it because interest rates are too high. Also if you look at the business world now, people in the middle and lower class are starting to take risk and start their own business. Many are doing this online because it cost almost nothing to start. If you don’t have any money you start small. I started small. I got a free blog on blogger and went from there. My start up cost was zero!

You can do with this many types of business. Start by using eBay, yes you pay fees, but you don’t have to worry about setting up a store or anything. It’s also not that expensive to start up a website, say you like making candles. You can sell those online, you can even use blogger to sell them and not pay anything!

If you look at it this way you see that McCain’s tax cuts just will not work in this new age of business that is starting, We need a fresh thinker who has been in our shoes, who has lived off of welfare and knows how the system really works. If you have never been on it, you don’t know.

There are other issues too, but this is getting long already so I’ll leave you with this. What are your thoughts?

I want to know why, not because I’m an Obama supporter, but because many of the people who have been saying this have been demicrats for years. Why give up your values just because it’s not a women up there. Now if you have switched because you actually agree with McCain more then okay that I understand, but I have talked to people who agree with everything that Obama says, but won’t vote for him because he’s not a women and didn’t choose a women for vp.

I just don’t think that some of these people realize that if the vote McCain in they will have to deal with what he belives in and what he want’s to do. The war will continue, US taxpayer money will continue to go to Iraq and nothing will change, if thats what they want, fine, but if they want an end to the war they need to grow up and do what is right, not act like a highschool kid and try to get back at Obama for winning the nomination.

This is the reasion that many young voters don’t vote, they figure voteing is a big scam because people just vote the party and don’t listen to the issues, they vote for the cute one or the person who looks better then the other. In this race I am sure that many will not vote for Obama because of race. It’s sad this is still going on, but it’s a truth that even he knows. I just think that if you are old enough to vote you need to vote because you agree with what the canidate has to say, not because your pissed off that they were nominated instead of someone else.

It was announced very early this morning apparently. I don’t have a cell phone so I couldn’t sign up for anything. Yes I know it’s crazy I don’t have one, but I’m still paying off the $900 bill a friend racked up for me. This is why this post is not being written at 3 am.

Anyway I have to say I’m not sure about this pick, mostly because I really don’t know much about this person and their views. I agree more with Obama’s views then McCain’s so he still gets my vote as of now, but I know I need to learn more about the next guy. Why? The job is not that important right? Wrong, people forget that the VP is next in line and should be someone you like just as much as the guy actually running for president. Also I think the job of the VP may one day start to mean something more and we better have a good guy in office when it does.

From what I have read about him it seems like he has all of the things that Obama lacks, but enough similarities to make the ticket work. He has foreign policy experience as well has having been in the national political scene for a while now. He’s even run for president himself. I think another good thing about him is that he has stated that he thinks Obama is not ready for president, this is a good thing because he will help him, he will be there to support him more then someone who just thinks they are there for the ride.

I was reading last night how women are writing into the democratic committee saying that both Michigan and Florida should be seated and Clinton should get all of the votes. I disagree with this as in Michigan we only had one democratic choice and many people including myself did not vote because of that fact alone. We felt we had no actual choice.

What I am wondering with all of this is do the women who are so supportive of Hillary know what she actually wants to do as president or have they just decided she’s female and I love her! Keep in mind there is nothing wrong with your choice I’m just wondering. This thought came into my head last night when I read this article because a women stated that she would rather support McCain then Obama. The thing is when you look at both Democratic candidates they really do have most of the same goals. Trust me I have done a lot of research into this, both before January, when I still wasn’t sure who to vote for, and when they talked about having a re vote. I judge based on what they want to do and how the candidate presents themselves. I just feel that Hillary has kind of cracked under pressure and because of that resulted to tactics that just did not make me feel she would make a good president. Just my opinion.

I’m one of those people who don’t choose a candidate based on anything but what that person themselves stands for. In January I believed that Hillary was a good choice for the job as president. Now I am a supporter of Obama. Why, well because I don’t agree with how Hillary has handled herself and some of the things she stands for. While I don’t agree with everything Obama has said either, I think he is a better person for the job.

The main reason being his background and what he has been though in life. He was poor he knows what it’s like to be on assistance and need help. He also speaks well which for me right now is a huge deal. I can not stand listening to Bush talk. I think we need a president who can command the attention of the citizens of the united states and people all over the world. This man could possibly do just that. My mom compares him to Kennedy. She has liked Obama since before he decided to run for president. Even then he knew how to grab your attention.

I think the problem with this election is that everyone wants and needs change, both of the democratic candidates are pushing for change and both could do it. On the Republican side I also think McCain could make some changes, but at the same time he supports things I don’t support. This election is monumental not just because of who is running but what this election will mean for the future of the united states and the world. I believe this is a huge turning point in our history and when they look back on it, I hope they will see a great and wonderful outcome, not just more war and violence.
