Debate: Who is going to be the next President of the United States?
Side: John McCain

I think that this is true to a certain extent. I believe that McCain will be the next President and I am sure that there are some people that will vote for him out of racism towards Obama. This is very sad. The real reason that people should vote for him is that he has the experience to run a nation. I like Barack Obama, and in a few more years I would probably vote for him. However, at this point in time I do not believe that he has the necessary experience to be President of the United States. He is a junior senator from Illinois. That is not enough experience!

Side: Barack Obama

The experience argument is a false argument. The only relevant experience anyone can actually agree on for President is if you were Vice President. Other than that, all bets are off. Woodrow Wilson was President of Princeton University before he became President of the United States. It's a specious argument that would be used no matter the amount of time any candidate has held an office as long as one has been there longer. It's the same specious crap when governors tell senators they would be better because they have relevant experience. Those who make this argument will never actually look at the other candidates accomplishments and merits to make valid points. They know the American public is too stupid to look for themselves and will gladly eat up that BS right? Time for a change.

Side: Barack Obama

There is much more than just experience in a presidential race. It is also about the views of the nation, in Obama is firmly placed in the minds of the American public.For example, according to a BBC report published in January 2007 (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/bsp/hi/pdfs/23_01_07_us_poll.pdf), 57% of the US population disprove of the handling of the war in Iraq, with 40% strongly disproving. This is a major issue in this election, which Obama firmly voiced his view on.Whether or not someone has experience should only be second to their views. If one does not support their candidate's views, why should they care how well they can get things done if they accomplish only bad things?

Racism is a two edged sword. People, please. If you didn't think about it before, now, after the ranting of the "Rev" Wright, you might want to rethink that "whites" are the only racist people in the US. Just because your great-great-granddaddy was a slave, so?? Remember they were freed, and much of American blood was shed over American soil for that fact. Instead of hating "whitey" they should start reading about Martin Luther King and start sharing his values and outlook for this country. Now there is a figure you never hear about anymore. And yet he did more for the black people of this country than any other man...

You seem to have a very selective memory on what MLK Jr. said. Either that or you just don't know. He said a lot more than "I have a dream..." and most of it was pretty fucking harsh and about Vietnam. The government was after his ass a lot even letting the FBI follow him and bug his phone and rooms. Thats how we know he screwed around on his wife so much. Not sayin the guy was evil, but the picture the national narrative has painted you is false. He was a real guy with real faults and sounded more like Jerimiah Wright than you want to believe. Please pick up a book or use "The Google" every once and a while.

And is there evidence of this racism? You can't just state that "middle America still has ingrained racism" without backing it up, that's a pretty big claim that involves a large amount of people. I would argue that this is absolutely false, at least without evidence.

you cant be serious?? there isnt any traces of racism in this campaign correct?? have you seen the footage from west virginia and all the other cracker jack towns where the tobacco chewing shit kickin rednecks let their sentiments be heard?? yeah racism never existed and we all love each other?? wake up brother and be honest about this sad reality you people try to deny
Debate: Who is going to be the next President of the United States?
Side: Barack Obama

I think that you misunderstood my comment. Of course there is racism. But, I highly doubt that "middle America still has ingrained racism". You said it yourself: "all the other cracker jack towns where the tobacco chewing... rednecks let their sentiments be heard??" I would not consider "cracker jack towns" in "West Virginia" to be "middle America". Of course some people are racist, I never denied that, I denied that most of middle America is.
Debate: Who is going to be the next President of the United States?
Side: Barack Obama

You think the only reason people won't vote for Obama is because they're racist?I guess it's a good campaign strategy for Obama though. I don't vote for someone because of their race, and I won't not vote for someone because of their race, sex, religion, or otherwise.So who is the racist here?(Posted by someone who is not voting for John McCain.)

Obama has youth and looks which the media loves, funny thing is that before TV most of our presidents we very ugly guys (please contest this i dare you). I think in the end most of us will end the popularity contest and agree Obama is a great guy but he's no president. I can see him having his own TV show when this is all over...maybe become a correspondent for some news channel or maybe even become John Stewart's new side kick. Whatever he does I am sure Chavez, Raul, and all their pals will have something new to tune in and tune out to.

Side: Politics

Barack will win in the same way that Gore and Kerry won. The GOP will, again, employ their dirty tricks to disenfranchise millions of voters. As long as electronic voting machines are allowed to count American votes, there will be no fair elections. As long as the elections are run by Premier Election Soultions (formerly Diebold) and Election Systems & Software, two large donors to the GOP, McCain will win. Furthermore, he will run the country into even more debt, as well as Iranian, and possibly Russian, quagmires. His energy and tax plans are moronic, showing little fundamental comprehension of the economy or environment. By all logic; Obama should win. The past two elections, democrats have actually won. They've had the most of the popular vote, yet have lost the election itself. What's more, Obama is NOT the most liberal senator; he is the senator most in line with the Democratic party. The anti-Obama campaign may be severe, but comparing it to Bush's swiftboating of Kerry in '04? It's a cake walk.

Side: John McCain

With each of the major tickets now having someone on it whose first term was set to expire in 2010, there's a distinct possibility that they could both lose to an independent ticket with a billionaire like Michael Bloomberg whatever role he would have on it. But between just McCain and Obama, I've been impressed at the Republicans' level of confidence and think they have done a great job of scrutinizing Obama that the mainstream media has neglected. History would tell us that Obama can't win with the electoral vote race now being this close at this point in time.

I think McCain will win - this race really comes down to demographics and the fact that anti-war candidates don't get elected

Anti-War candidates don't get elected if we were actually fight a war. Remember Bush said "Mission Accomplished" This an occupation to have force democracy in the Middle East because we want their oil.And this supposed war most American are against it. And with most of the country saying that we are in wrong directions doesn't help the incumbent party.http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/ other/direction_of_country-902.html

Does anyone REALLY believe that the party of slavery and segregation, the party of the KKK and lynching, the party of black codes and Jim Crow, the party that fought every piece of civil rights legislation from 1865 through 1965 is going to be the first to put a black man in the White House? The Democrats still have a former KKK Exalted Cyclops sitting in the Senate. The highest position a black has ever achieved in a Democrat administration is commerce secretary, and Ron Brown didn't live to tell about it.

The Libs are trying to get McCain to bash Pres Bush. That would be a bad move on hispart. We solid supporters of Pres Bush would drop out & I think there are thousandsof us that KNOW history will prove him to be one of our best presidents. What hasObama got to offer? RHETORIC! He could go to the middle to get elected, as Demsdo historically & then switch back to his real self- whatever that is. This frightens memore than anything about this unknown.

Why are people so caught up in who is the next president. Here is a question....think mentally since you can't respond....pick one of the numbers, 3, 5, or 7........you most likely picked 3....its generally how it works....the reason you picked a number, is one, there are three numbers only, and i gave you the choices. This presidential election is nothing different....yes i know we had primaries, but did you pick who went to the primary? no.....did you pick who won the primary? maybe.....the point is.....if people do not get involved in their civic duty, it doesn't matter who is elected, it's still going to be a selection made for you........Congress at 12% approval......the laughs on us.....they are still elected, and yet the approval of congress rarely tops 40%....seems americans need a change of venue, not just the leadership.

Senator McCain now leads Barack Obama among independent voters, according to recent polls, making the presidential contest appear much closer. Independents, a volatile electoral group, may be reacting to McCain's strong statements supporting the country of Georgia after Russia' recent invasion. The Arizona senator has consistently lead Obama among voters on national security issues, and McCain is also taking advantage of Obama newness on the international stage, questioning Obama's fitness to lead the nation in dangerous times. Both candidates have strong support from their bases, with more Republicans now satisfied with McCain.

Side: New Republican Chance

After the Palin choice and the effect her speech had on the Republican contigency of the RNC, much less this nation, I'm not going to be surprised to see the McCain/Palin ticket come out on top in November.I think it's perfectly valid, however, to wonder about the timing, the choice, and the nature of the VP pick on McCain's part as he's had ample time to gather a legitimate list of potential running mates as compared to his Democratic rival.The question that plagues the ticket is the influence of Hillary Clinton on the Democratic Party over the course of their Primary against Obama. And, while we still have a good bit of time to figure out how Gov. Palin will eventually stack up in the national stage, I can't help but wonder what kind of trickery was involved in placing her name on the GOP ballot and if she would have been even considered had Clinton taken the Democratic nod.This is, of course, all speculative thinking and such thinking never gets us anywhere productive. No matter what the Obama campaign tries to say to the contrary, the McCain/Palin ticket is NOT a reprise of the Bush/Cheney ticket of '00 or '04 and now with a legitimate stereoid shot into the all hallowed women vote and (though I'm sure this one will wane once the debates begin) the "fiscal, true Reagan-conservative" vote, McCain has at least one ace in his deck against the popular orator and his "experienced" wingman.

Side: John McCain

McCain is up against incredibly steep odds. He is being falsely tagged with being an extension of Bush, never mind that his own party has reviled him at times for his maverick stands. He is a Republican trying to follow a Republican with historically bad approval ratings. He is a member ( as is his opponent) of a congress with even lower approval ratings than the president. His opponent is in lockstep with the most extreme members of his base while McCain is a pariah to his party's base. His mere "whiteness" would engender cries of racism against him even if he stood perfectly still and never said a word. The economy is working heavily against a vote for an incumbent party. The war was a steady force against him when it went badly but now that it is going well, it has become a non issue. The guy cant win. His party despises him and his opponents call him an extension of the last 8 years. He makes the right call on the surge and it is so successful, it removes his being right as an issue. AND YET . . . here he is virtually tied with Obama, the self anointed one. They guy who casts light on us. The chosen one. The guy who cant pull away from McCain with all of the problems with McCain. Despite the Germans and French causing rock star sensations at his mere appearance. Despite teens and college kids massing behind him. Despite his vast paypal millions. Despite a media actively in his corner. This could be an eve bigger upset than Appalachian State over Michigan. Bigger than Israel in '67 vs the whole rest of the middle east. The smart money is all on Obama. The dumb money is all on Obama. No one believes McCain can win. So why cant Obama put him away? The longer McCain hangs around, the longer Obama lets McCain drive the debate, the longer we all see Obama take various tries to get his response right . . . the better McCain's chances get.

When Obama talks about change, what does he mean? We could vote for Fidel Castro and get change. We could vote for some Iranian Ayatollah and get change. Obama is black. That is a change to welcome. He is not named Bush which is something to be welcomed. He is a Dem instead of a Repub, which some consider a good thing tho I personally think it is just about alphabet since a Republican Congress most recently behaved like drunken Dem when it came to spending. So why is he REALLY different? As a street organizer, he worked in the single most corrupt city party organization in America. He joined a racist church because they put the most money on the streets so it was a smart career move. That is EXACTLY like a small town businessman joining the restricted country club because of the contacts he could make. No difference. Does he take unpopular stands at risk to his career? Well he was all for reforming election funding until it meant giving up his own personal advantage in this race. Did that show any selfless devotion to the people or to his principles? He did reach across party lines to push legislation reigning in proliferation of nukes and supporting rounding up missing nukes. That was real bold, it took real spine to push THAT project. I mean who in their right mind is AGAINST that?! Did that demonstrate any real backbone? Is he firm in his principles and can he articulate a new message as opposed to just preaching at us? Well when the Rev Wright videos first played it took his campaign three times to get their response right. When McCain named Palin, the Obama campaign had to remove the now famous mean spirited attack on her small town roots hours after it appeared in favor of a less snide response. When charges of sexism were levied against his campaign by Clinton supporters, it took three tries to get the response right. If he has core unshakable beliefs, why cant he ever get his response right the first time? I don't see how he is different from most politicians. Obviously being a Dem he is different from a Repub. Obviously his policies are a change from Bush policies. But is that really what is important? Change for change's sake? Or change that means something!

My vote as a US citizen would be not to vote for either one !! I have not heard anything from either one that really has me convinced that they will be excepting this position as the USA President that says they are going to WORK FOR us. They economy is so bad right now and I feel that we need someone in office to not only straighten this mess up, but to protect and bring home our men at war. People are loosing everything they own right now and it does not really seem to a matter to someone that make big money and does not have any worries over such things as gas. I seen Hillary on the tv one day speaking at the gas pumps with a customer and she was asking him his thought and her preply was, She hand't had to worry about gas for she gets cheauffered. Now be for real this is a huge issue !! She wasn't AWARE ?? Nope these two are not for us at all. Obama, not so bad but still I do not feel he is for US.

"John McCain Will End Policies That Contribute To Higher Transportation And Food Costs. Ethanol subsidies, tariff barriers and sugar quotas drive up food prices and hurt Americans. However, we cannot take the wrong direction and cut off trade for American goods."The only ways to do this and Senator McCain will not even think about approaching these solutions: One) End burning certain foods for energy, it does not work. Two) End Federal subsidies, again, it does not work. Three) End our constant federal aid."John McCain Is Proposing A New "HOME Plan" To Provide Robust, Timely And Targeted Help To Those Hurt By The Housing Crisis. Under his HOME Plan, every deserving American family or homeowner will be afforded the opportunity to trade a burdensome mortgage for a manageable loan that reflects their home's market value."As Senator Obama, Senator McCain believes the Federal Government has an obligation to enter the housing market and enforce code and bail out homeowners. That is far from the truth. At most, this should be left up to the States. Nevertheless, since the Fed became involved in the housing market, these foreclosures occurred. The Fed needs to stay out of the market.

"John McCain Is Proposing A Student Loan Continuity Plan. Students face the possibility that the credit crunch will disrupt loans for the fall semester. John McCain calls on the federal government and the 50 governors to anticipate loan problems and expand the lender-of-last resort capabilities for each state's guarantee agency."I have been discussing and researching this topic for several months now and the reason why tuition is expensive are for many reasons: We have a federal reserve. They print the money, devalue the currency and create the inflation tax. This, therefore, raises the prices. Obviously this would affect the cost of school. The Federal Government gives out student loans and the only way to give out those loans is to print the money and the schools get the big fat twenty thousand dollar check for a piece of paper at the end of four years.To solve this problem you end the Federal Reserve, inflation would lower, and kids would not get any student loans and not be able to afford tuition. The post-secondary facilities would realize this and obviously lower the school fees. Students would get jobs and pay their way through school (as I do). Why should I pay for someone else’s tuition when I am paying for my own without the Government’s help or your hard earned money?
