Foreign policy is pretty much all i care about. I wont be living here soon so i could care less about the other stuff. Obamas plan for health insurance and tax cuts for most of the country, but an increase for the people making over 250 also makes sense. I cant see McCains plan of cuting taxes for everyone working. |
thank you both. I have been saying pretty much the same thing over the past year, the world is waiting for us to get someone like Obama into office. And people argue this is for their own advantages, but let's wait and see what happens. Is America's language going to become Muslim all of a sudden? I don't think so. Other countries are just going to think of us more highly than they do now, that we (finally) were able to get Bush (and McCain) out of the White House. If the democrats had a stronger candidate in 2004 I am sure Bush would not have been re-elected. But even I myself could not stand Kerry. |

I wasn't claiming that Democrats are anti-American, and I don't think the war was a mistake, either. I think that things were overlooked, but I feel that the US' presence there was, and is, necessary. |
I agree that some action was necessary - I just think it was started in the wrong place. |

That's where my opinion differs from 99% of the rest of the people in this forum. I don't believe the US is "ing with the world". I believe as a world power we have a responsibility. Is Great Britain "ing with the world", too? |

Sometimes lives have to be taken in order to save the innocent lives of others.
You just can't grasp that concept, and I understand that. |

Ya you are right, i cant grasp the concept of displacing 3 million people and helping being part or actually killing 100,000 people becuase around 3,000 people died in a plane crash.
Thanks for understanding though. I guess you were right, your wisdom is so vast, you could of been a doctor. |
