Obama is hope for the US

Stem cell research My opponent asked me "You don't feel that this is going to put Americans at a disadvantage?" My clear answer is no. America has an Technological Partnership with the UK and most members of the G8. The partnership is based on societal advances (TTP). Therefor, when the UK finds something out about Stem Cells that nobody else knows, we get the technology as well. "Even with embryonic research, it is impossible for it to develop into a child." I'm not really sure what my opponent meant by this but here we go... Embryonic stem cells (ES cells) are stem cells derived from the inner cell mass of an early stage embryo known as a blastocyst. Human embryos reach the blastocyst stage 4-5 days post fertilization, at which time they consist of 50-150 cells. - Wikipedia Where in the statement does it say that the embryo will not make it? "Money Hungry" "Obama will run this country in regards to the general public not the few wealthy." I see no quotes or statements to back that up. I will say it again, he is for more govt. funded programs, how do you fund government funded programs? Taxpayers! My opponent says and i quote: "The wealthy can afford taxes easily but yet they get the biggest breaks.". Then who pays for these programs? As my opponent puts it "The General Public". "War Mongrels" My oppoentnt ask me a very interesting question, "Why isn't the US in Darfur?" The truth is... WE ARE!!! according to the US Department Of States's Website our primary goals in darfur are this: * Engage with Government of Sudan officials to press for improved security and conditions for the 2.5 million people living in camps for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs). Regularly visit the camps to meet with civil society leaders and other community members. * Support a Peace Secretariat office in El Fasher, which helps to disseminate information about and broaden support for the May 2006 Darfur Peace Agreement and peace process. The Peace Secretariat also acts as a center for coordination on peace process-related implementation activities and provides much needed capacity – including office space, computers and communications – to DPA signatories. * Serve as U.S. observers on the Cease Fire Commission (CFC), established to conduct investigations into ceasefire violations and oversee progress in the implementation of the DPA's security provisions. U.S. officials provide counsel to the AU in strengthening the CFC and in enhancing its capability to carry out its security-related tasks. * Conduct fact-finding missions across Darfur and facilitate progress in reaching a political solution to the Darfur crisis. U.S. officials maintain contact with rebel groups to encourage their constructive engagement with the international and humanitarian communities and to urge their participation in political dialogue aimed at definitively resolving the conflict in Darfur. * Support the African Union Mission in Sudan (AMIS) and efforts to transition it to a United Nations/African Union hybrid force. The U.S. supports 34 AMIS camps, assisting with maintenance of its vehicles and communications equipment. It also provides training to AMIS troops. The U.S. has contributed about $4 billion in humanitarian, development, peacekeeping and reconstruction for the people of Sudan and eastern Chad in fiscal years 2005-2007. My friend, i assure you, The war in Iraq was based on aid to the people of Iraq-Kuwait My opponent has asked me a personal question, she asked me about my positions on Taxes, Abortion, And universal health care. I find this question highly irrelevant due to the fact that the debate is about Obama, Not me. Therefor I will not answer this irrelevant question, it is a waste of my time, as well as the readers. My opponent asks: "How can a woman with 5 small children, one being an infant still, have time to put our country first? Along with that, she has misguided her own child (in regards to her pregnant 17 daughter). How can we not expect that she will misguide us as well?" It is obvious that you do not realize the amount of Female democratic politicians with kids who have not been mentioned. Nancy Pelosi has five children: Nancy Corinne, Christine, Jacqueline, Paul, and Alexandra, as well as seven grandchildren. You also said she has "misguided her own child". 12 million teens have had sexual intercourse. Of this group, more than 1.1 million became pregnant; three- quarters of these pregnancies were unintended, and 434,000 ended in abortion (www.teenshleter.org). If every teen who has had premarital sex is "Misguided", America, in majority, is a misguided country. I bring a very interesting question to you, If Mr. Palin was running for office, would his family be an issue? We face a revolution in our country where Females, who are put down in other country's, are held up for political office. I believe it is time to stop sayin: Well she has 5 kids and her responsibility is to her family. And start saying: She isn't a single mother, their is a Mr. Palin! I will conclude with a very quick summery of the debate. My opponent offered no Evidents that supported "Obama is hope for the US" My opponent offered no Evidents to any of the statements she provided. They were merely opinion-based. My opponent slandered the Republican Party in whole (meaning from the beginning of time to present) I have successfully Provided reason as to why Barrack isn't hope. I have successfully Provided Cited sources, unlike my opponent I have successfully offered reasons as to why my opponents crude remarks were false. Thanks for reading, and thanks for the debate Amanda! Vote Labrat228
