LEts look at this a bit

Obama seems like the average american who fights for what we the people belive in.

-- Hate to break this too you but NO POLITICIAN AT THIS LEVEL HAS ANY IDEA WHAT THE AVERAGE AMERICAN GOES THROUGH

not one- not McCain, not Clinton and Definately not Obama

He promises to lower taxes,

-- no, he is on RECORD he will RAISE taxes

will try to get more guns off the streets,

-- really? How does that help? Look at the crime rates of Washington DC and other cities-

Iran could take over Iraq which would make them stronger and a bigger threat to us. They would have more soliders and engineres to work on projects while having more protection of there prized cities and more space to build lazers, guns, and be better protected for a US attack.

-- Go read about the Iran/Iraq war- They fought for over EIGHT YEARS and one could not beat the other- even as beaten down as Iraq is- Iran is not much better as a military.

Im really seeing McCain differently now but if the election was today and I was 18 I would still vote for Obama

glad you can;t vote, sorry much love for you- but how ANYONE sane could vote for Obama escapes me

McCain is NOT my first,second, or even fifth choice but between these two?

Easy pick

David, NY, you're both right about the taxes.

Obama's going to lower it on the middle class and raise it ONLY ON THE TOP FIVE PERCENT OF TAXPAYERS.

<-- supports a flat tax

David, you can't spell, by the way... just saying.

Iran has a pretty impressive military. Between their knack for reverse-engineering American aircraft to their relatively large, Russian-equipped army, they're like the Wu-Tang Clan. They ain't nothin' to f*** with.

David, you do realize that Bush has CUT taxes, during TWO WARS and a RECESSION!? Like them or not, taxes are an essential part of our government, and without them we'd collapse in a matter of weeks.

Remember, Just because Obama says one thing, doesn't mean he's gonna do it. He's brainwashed many into "change." With no LOGICAL plan (he doesn't have one) Its impossible!!!! I think its great for young people like you and me to have such politcal thoughts...but I have to say "all little boys and girls grow up democrats until they earn their first dollar"-JAUbin the quote goes something like that.

Nice quote Carolinagirl

you still have a lot to learn about politics and promises

That quote is taken straight from Freaks and Geeks!

-- Lifer do you know that RONALD REAGAN Put the TWO LARGEST TAX INCREASES in HISTORY on the US Taxpayer?

and yet raised the biggest peacetime boom in US history that continues until Clinton?

Its not the TAXES -its HOW you slam the taxes

Yes the RICH pay the taxes and BENIFIT from the tax breaks

But as the story goes how many time have you got a job from a man making min wage? How many Jobs have the bottom 10% created?

I really don't understand politics so this blog isn't for me. haha

its all about trickle-down economics

David, you call raising a national debt that won't be paid off until well after I'm interred in the local cemetery an "economic boom"? False promises.

its all about trickle-down economics

Which doesn't work. Remember Herbert Hoover's administration?

First, I'd just like to say thank you to Ny for posting something in here and taking advantage of his writing privileges. While I do not necessarily agree with this viewpoint -- most any politician is capable of saying what the electorate wants and I am not sure that Obama offers any real, substantive change on that fact (you can see my post in this group, "Real change... really?", to see my thoughts on that) any more so than McCain or any of the other lifers who were ever in this race...

I do agree, though, that the continuing conflict in Darfur is being far too neglected by Washington leaders. This is one place where Obama, if he is sincere about change, could make a real difference. But, alas, both Obama AND McCain are increasingly shirking their legislative duties to traipse and stump across the country in advance of the conventions...

Interesting thoughts... and a note to ALL Spin Room members -- you have the ability to write here whenever you want. Take umbrage to something written here? Refute it with some intelligent and cohesive argumentation in a new post... we welcome ALL viewpoints around here...

I'm so confused. How has the Darfur killing rate been at 40,000 for around 2 years? Unless the killing has stopped, we're getting false numbers.

*400,000
