The Big Debate!

Yea I'm a geek! So? Of course i watched the debates. Hello People! It's Me your talking about! 

McCain and Obama took part in the first debate of the presidential election, and let me tell you something.... Obama brought his A game. McCain on the other hand, didn't really answer the questions directed to him. Instead he decided to tell stories about all the things he's done and places he's been. So if I learned anything about John McCain... Its that he isn't going to respond to a question with a DIRECT answer.  And I don't think that I'm being biased by saying that Obama did a good job because he answered more questions and he directed questions to John McCain who simply just shrugged them off and said that Obama "Just doesn't get it." 

Obama does get it, and he does understand what hes talking about. What

 I don't understand how John McCain can try and smear Obama with these lies because McCain said (HIMSELF!) that he doesn't understand economics. (The economy being the biggest issue in this Election Year)

Also, Obama had tons of chances to rub things in McCains face (Ex: Like when McCain asked Obama what his definition of rich was. Barack could've said: "Someone who owns 11 houses and 12 cars." Obviously in reference to McCains massive amount of wealth and luxurious lifestyle.)

But thats not how he plays the game. Which is great because a lot of people are sick and tired of just attack after attack after attack. 

So if I was the judge for these debates Thats:

Obama:1

McCain:0

Check back for my response to the VP Debates!

Palin......YES AGAIN....

As you should know Sarah Palin is the John McCains Vice-Presidential Candidate. Look at some of the things she believes.

Palin recently said that the war in Iraq is "God's task." She's even admitted she hasn't thought about the war much—just last year she was quoted saying, "I've been so focused on state government, I haven't really focused much on the war in Iraq."

(If you actually CARED enough about the well being of this country....The War would be on your mind almost all of the time)

Palin wants to teach creationism in public schools. She hasn't made clear whether she thinks evolution is a fact.

(Evolution is based on scientific FACT......Creationism and Intelligent Design is based on the opinion and BELIEF (not fact) that God created everything officially by the Christian Church..... In other words they cant prove it but you should believe them anyway. Thats like me telling you "If you give me $100 I will turn it into a million dollars.)

Palin doesn't believe that humans contribute to global warming. Speaking about climate change, she said, "I'm not one though who would attribute it to being manmade."

(Once again another Scientific Fact VERIFIED by Scientists: Carbon Dioxide ruins the ozone layer which believe it or not protects us even though we cant see it. AND we HUMANS create it by driving cars, planes etc. etc. etc.)

Palin has close ties to Big Oil. Her inauguration was even sponsored by BP.

(Doesnt that seem strange that her and john mccain want to "help heal the environment" and yet they both have huge ties to the oil companies whose "product" is destroying our environment?)

Palin is extremely anti-choice. She doesn't even support abortion in the case of rape, incest OR if the mothers health is in danger.

(First of all: Thats just cold. Say for instance your mom could die if she was pregnant because of complications with the baby (the baby will die too) this is common sense there is no reason to have 2 people die. Yes is sad that a baby died but there is no reason for the mother to die too..... Plus Republicans say they're the pro-life party and yet they enforce the death penalty, cut funding for schools, infustructure and transportation (roads and such)..... theyre the biggest bunch of hypocrites)

Palin opposes comprehensive sex-ed in public schools. She's said she will only support abstinence-only approaches.

(Okay we all know some teenagers are going to have sex..... its pretty much a fact of life.... but if you know that then why wouldnt you allow kids to understand that using a condom could end up saving someones life (or at least stopping a teen from becoming a parent when they would have no earthly idea how to do that, and save them from embarrasment in school) (or stop them from spreading VD) If Republicans dont want "big government that dictates a way of living" then why would they try and tell people they cant marry someone of another sex, or tell someone they cant get an abortion? That seems like BIG government to me)

As mayor, Palin tried to ban books from the library. Palin asked the library how she might go about banning books because some had inappropriate language in them—shocking the librarian, Mary Ellen Baker. According toTime, "news reports show that Palin had threatened to fire Baker for not giving "full support" to the mayor."

(Seriously they need to quit worrying about what people do. That is seriously on the verge of a dictatorship)

She DID support the $400 Billion Bridge to Nowhere (before she opposed it). Palin claimed that she said "thanks, but no thanks" to the infamous Bridge to Nowhere. But in 2006, Palin supported the project repeatedly, saying that Alaska should take advantage of earmarks "while our congressional delegation is in a strong position to assist."

(Okay Again HYPOCRATE!!!!! She says shes against "Wasteful Government Spending" and yet she approved building a $400 Billion dollar bridge that takes you nowhere. WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THE POINT OF THAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!???!!!!?!?!??!!!????!!!?!?!!?!"

I desperately urge anyone that reads this that is/or knows someone that is an "Undecided Voter" to share this information.

Will It Ever END?!?!?!?!?!!!?!???!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?

"You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig". Thats what Barack Obama said about John McCain and his sham of a campaign promise "to Bring Change to Washington." (How is he going to bring change to Washington when he wants to continue the same failed policies that George Bush instituted?!?!?) Instead McCain and the Republican Distortion Machine attacked Obama for calling Sarah Palin a pig. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!!! Do they really think that anyone with a morsel of a brain cell would actually believe Obama was calling Palin a pig?! What a basketful of fly covered CRAP! I dont understand how anyone in their right mind could come to that conclusion. 

Is this the way the rest of the election is going to go? Obama says something about a color he doesnt like or thinks is ugly (" i think the color green is the ugliest color in the history of ugly colors") and McCain and Palin are going to say he was referring to Palin. (Barack Obama crossed a line! He said Im ugly because i wear green!)

  That is 1 of the many reasons why i have absolutely no respect for John McCain. (or Sarah Palin for that matter) Sure he was captured by the Vietnamese and was tortured and all that. Yea thats all terribly horrific and sad, but people lose respect for anyone who has to attack his/her opponent for stupid trivial reasons. When your going to be campaigning for the highest office in the land, you had better be talking about issues like health care and education, NOT wether your opponent may have made a comment about your running mate. 

Also, when you say your against "wasteful government spending" and yet you would love to have a $400 BILLION bridge that leads to no-where, you had damn well be ready to be called out on it. She says shes been against it from the time it was proposed and yet she told the (indicted) Senator for Alaska Ted Stevens: "We need to take advantage of these opportunities while they are available." So please tell me Governor.

HOW ARE YOU AGAINST WASTEFUL SPENDING?

Ponder that while i think what my next rant is going to be about.
