I thought I'd never agree with you, but this statement has my full support. The reason might be that the programs of the partys hardly differ, so using those as arguments wouldn't give any advantages. The campaigns in Germany are going in a similar direction these days, and it makes me sick.FEOS wrote:
One question: Why won't either campaign run ads describing why the American voter should vote for them...instead of constantly running ads for why we shouldn't vote for the other guy?
If I go into a car dealership and the salesperson just trashes the competition without pointing out why their product is the right one for me to buy...I walk out.
Presidential election politics is utterly sickening. Just lay out your detailed policies and specifics that you will have the power to enact as the chief executive, FFS.

He's a tough bastard but he's in all the wrong demographics when it comes to life expectancy... he should really be dead already.
im really glad the video game crowd does not represent main stream america
You miss my point. What I am saying is that if you are going to demand medical records demand them from everyone. The point of forcing them to be open would be to find something that might not be obvious.. say like someones age. Again, life threating diseases affect everyone.. no matter your age, no matter your activity level (Lance Armstrong).Mason4Assassin444 wrote:

So, you would take away my parents' rights to choose where their child goes to school to? Sounds socialist/communist, now you definately made me not want Barack Obama even morenukchebi0 wrote:
No, there is no point explaining things to you. If I wanted a perfect example why homeschooling should be amended out of the Constitution, I would use you. Your parents have clearly indoctrinated you to support conservatives, and have left you without a shred of rational or critical thought. I recognize faults with Obama. I wrote a student council speech that said nothing in terms of a real message, but mentioned 'change' 27 times in 300 words, purposely mocking how some of what Obama says is empty rhetoric. I have analyzed both sides, and I know Obama is not perfect. Its just that the other side is a complete travesty.War Man wrote:

I mean.. that's kind of pushing it.. If he does get elected and is voted in for a second term, he'd be there until he's 80, wouldn't he?
Maybe this is normal though.. I'm Canadian so I'm not all up on American politics.. But I'm interested in knowing what will happen if John McCain takes office and has some serious health problems while he is the President.. If he was to pass away while in office, would Vice Pres. Palin take his position for good until the next term? What if she's not really ready to be President?
IMO it's a pretty big issue.. If what I stated above was to happen everyone would have to look at Palins capabilities for Vice Pres. and President as well when voting in the two of them this election.*Facepalm* no point of explaining things to you.nukchebi0 wrote:
We've already had eight years of alcoholism in office. But really, seeing Palin's interview on CBS makes me wonder why anyone in their right mind would vote for McCain. I am seriously scared looking at her clear lack of intellect, and, of course, her dogmatic lying.
Edit: corrected my grammar

Your parents should have the right to choose your school, that goes without saying. But to refuse you that option and home school you without a set curriculum, standardised testing and benchmarks your education is ultimately worthless.
They are considering putting me in a private school, but money is an issue.TheAussieReaper wrote:
