Why do you think McCain is better and why do you think Obama wants a socialist nation?

Oh believe me I have muted several as soon as I posted that. It really does seem interesting that the biggest amount of hate here has come from the McCain side... proves the point of them allowing hate and yes even racism to spread. I'll be taking a break today as my blood pressure is up anyway but now that certain people are on mute maybe it will be tolerable again. I came here for lively debate.. not to hear disrespect and actual hate. And they wonder why people see them as *angry*. *rolls eyes*

Maybe I can help a little. Granted this is my own personal opinion so please bear that in mind. I don't think it is really a big deal when people experiment with drugs when they are young. Obama and Clinton are far from alone. G.W. Bush had a drinking problem...and a reported cocaine problem...McCain has admitted to drinking quite a bit when he was young..and so have many many senators and firgures of authority. I think the key is that they all learned from past mistakes. When you have a difficult time in your life....you learn from it and hopefully never repeat it. I thought the whole Clinton and pot thing was so rediculous....but then again I really see less harm in pot than say drinking to excess. I think by public figures sharing their past troubles...it can help others..and can also to help people see they are human..and they have learned a hard lesson..and have become a better person because of it. If Obama was still using drugs..of McCain was still drinking to excess...that would show he never learned and shows bad judgement still. We all make mistakes..but we also learn from them. It is in the learning that we become who we are and can see the difference in good and bad choices in manner some never will. Just my 2 cents.


I agree with you.

6th cousin once removed, 10th cousin - I wonder if you know how many people you're related to when you get that far out in your family tree.

If you do a little research you'll see they were accusing him of exactly the same thing Rev. Wright has been accused of. He was accused of being racist, of advancing the precurse to black liberation theology. Rev King also practiced prophetic theology.

Okay, I know everyone in here is like totally either for one or the other, HOWEVER, when people start picking on my sister, calling her full of hate, is where I DRAW THE LINE! This IS my little sister, and she IS biologically so don't even ask if I am really her sister. The bottom line is everyone has their candidates. I, for one, support McCain because he seems to have a very good track record with the senate. Yeah, Sarah Palin may not have much experience, but that's the VP seat we're talking about. THAT is OJT, the office of President isn't. And we really don't need someone in there who hasn't had much experience with military matters. That is my main concern, as my DH is in the army and currently in Iraq. I came here to check it out, and when I saw the words everyone was spewing towards my sister, it really hurt me. My sister HATES no one, and neither do I, but I seriously think everyone should give a little more thought before the elections about who they choose. I've given my pick some thought, did my research, and I was quite pleased with the results. Which is why I made my choice. Just because everyone has differences doesn't mean that everyone needs to insult each other over it.
