3 point thread- Obama vs McCain

rocketbass88 · 10/06/2008, 03:06 PM

Amidst the overwhelming negativity in this election, I figured we should have a place where people can voice why they're supporting either candidate. I hope that everybody can keep their 3 points positive. For example, don't say you're an Obama supporter and then one of your 3 points be "I can't trust McCain". I'm curious to see what 3 things everybody comes up with.

So, just put who you support, and 3 reasons why you support them.

Hopefully this thread can stay away from the negativity and shed some light on the good that could come out of this election.

McCain
-Experience
-The Lexington Project
-Stance on the war in Iraq

McCain
-Iraq plan
-Experience (years in Senate, as well as military experience, and life experience)
-seems like he will go against popular trends to do what he feels is right

Obama-
1. Phased withdrawl from Iraq, new strategy in Afghanistan.
2. His support of abortion rights/pro-choice.
3. Tax cuts for middle class and poor, reducing tax cuts for richest 1% of taxpayers.

Obama
1. Better grasp of the Economy
2. Better grasp of middle class needs
3. Better grasp of today's technology and world in general

Obama -

1. Plan to end Iraq War, refocus efforts in Afghanistan, and use diplomacy abroad
2. Tax Plan - I believe taxes should be progressive and paid relative to ability.
3. Support of abortion rights

McCain
1) Experience - Both in Government and in International Level
2) Bi-Partisan - The Democrats gave him the nick name "Maverick" because of his willingness to cross party lines for what he believes in and what is best for this nation.
3) Willingness to Listen - McCain has changed his views in the past, and usually (note I don't say all the time) it is because some new information is available, not because his stance is un-popular.

Obama
1. Intelligent
2. Diplomacy abroad
3. Progressive, modern mindset

Why for McCain/Palin
1. Experience
2. 2nd ammendment rights advocate
3. International Policly
- I do not like the fact that he has many "liberal tendencies"

Why Againsist Obama/Badin*
1. History of association with questionable people (Mostly Rev White) and lack of expereicnce
2. His flip flip politics that has proven I cannot narrow down to what he really wants/believes.
3. Over all socialist agenda that seems to be anti-capitolist anti-BOR and anti-constution, which to me are three of the largest points this country was founded on.
*Please take these in a positive note and not as an attack, I am just showing 3 reasons why I dont want to see BO/JB in the oval office
