Debate: Who is going to be the next President of the United States?
Side: Barack Obama

I think that the American people at this point in time have decided that things need to change. I think this election will see things change as often and in as many ways as the voters can have influence over. For example, here in Provo, Utah, the incumbent republican candidate for the house in my district actually lost, and will not be on the ticket as the Republican candidate in the actual election. Since this is Utah county Utah, a Democratic candidate doesn't stand much of a chance, but the people still spoke and their voices said "we want change." For that reason, regardless of platforms, positions or performance, I think that Obama will win. Also, he has a huge following in popular "hip" media, which I really think is going to bring out the College kids in droves.

Recently another move to make the United States part of a one-world government occurred in the United State Senate when the bill “Global Poverty Act” passed, which was sponsored and or created by Sen. Obama, Sen. Hagel and Sen. Cantwell.This bill would do the following:• Declares it official U.S. policy to promote the reduction of global poverty, the elimination of extreme global poverty, and the achievement of the Millennium Development Goal of cutting extreme global poverty in half by 2015.• Requires the President to develop and implement a comprehensive strategy to carry out that policy.• Includes guidelines for what the strategy should include - from aid, trade, and debt relief, to working with the international community, businesses and NGOs, to ensuring environmental sustainability.• Requires that the President’s strategy include specific and measurable goals, efforts to be undertaken, benchmarks, and timetables.• Requires the President to report back to Congress on progress made in the implementation of the global poverty strategy.

"Amend the North American Free Trade Agreement: Obama believes that NAFTA and its potential were oversold to the American people. Obama will work with the leaders of Canada and Mexico to fix NAFTA so that it works for American workers."Several things are wrong with this plan and contradictive at the same time. One) He will not end NAFTA, even if he believes his own rhetoric, it will not be allowed because of special interests. Two) His wife is part of the Council on Foreign Relations, and he, himself, is a member. Three) The North American Union is being implemented. Four) He stated in a town-hall meeting that he has never even heard of the NAU that, in itself, is grounds for not being President.

As we embark on the future the world will change in ways we have never seen before,I truly believe the emergence of Barack Obama is the beginning of that experience.The new energy,fresh breath and winning spirit Obama has created around the world will never be defeated by such a weak opponent such as McCain,to be honest his greatest challenge was defeating Clinton-which has done with ease and calculated moves unseen in my generation.So yes America should prepare herself for a HUGE CHANGE on all fronts

There's that word again "change". Everything changes, the world turns and new things happen. That doesn't mean that "change" is a good thing. Wake up. Pogo said it all: "I have seen the enemy, and it is us". Let's try and not be our own worse enemy, OK?? Try this "for a change" why not "google" some info on Obama and then make a clear decision. Don't you like the lifestyle your living? He will not make it any better, maybe worse. Take a look, wake up....
Debate: Who is going to be the next President of the United States?
Side: John McCain

The only thing you say in this paragraph is that Obama has energy, [is a?] fresh breath, and winning spirit. You then continue to call McCain weak, without any evidence. How can you call McCain weak when he was winning over Obama only a few months ago in polls (http://www.usatoday.com/news/polls/tables/live/2008-01-13-poll3.htm)? Also, how can you claim that defeating Clinton was the "greatest challenge"? I am sure that you are aware that half of the country did not vote in this election. Without such a substantial number of voters, nobody ought to claim that this was his greatest challenge. I am also appalled that you would claim his defeat of Clinton was done "with ease". Clinton still has not even admitted defeat, claims to own the popular vote, and is still fighting. I think that this argument has no basis, and that if you had to vote on this statement alone you should choose McCain.
Debate: Who is going to be the next President of the United States?

Easy win. McCain has been a tool for the Bush administration, supports ever more war, offers not one wit of an idea about how to move forward on anything except "stay the course," and everyone is sick of that now.As my senator, Arizonans are very skeptical of this idiot. Try calling his office some time. Who in their right mind plays John Phillps Souza marches on call waiting?! What a freaking nut.Soon the rest of the world will know what we in Arizona know and loathe.

I don't think that your argument is accurate. If everyone in Arizona "loathes" him, why does he keep winning reelection. Your argument needs to be reevaluated.

"Raise the Minimum Wage: Barack Obama will raise the minimum wage, index it to inflation and increase the Earned Income Tax Credit to make sure that full-time workers earn a living wage that allows them to raise their families and pay for basic needs."I always wondered why we had a federal minimum wage. Aren’t spending, the economy and jobs different in New York than it is in Utah? Leave it up to the States (see 10th Amendment)."Expand High-Quality Afterschool Opportunities: Obama will double funding for the main federal support for afterschool programs, the 21st Century Learning Centers program, to serve a million more children. Obama will include measures to maximize performance and effectiveness across grantees nationwide."This may give you a nice feeling in your stomach however, again, this is up to the States (see 10th Amendment) and former Senator and Presidential Candidate Barry Goldwater warned of this in his book The Conscience of a Conservative.

"Create Fund to Help Homeowners Avoid Foreclosures: Obama will create a fund to help people refinance their mortgages and provide comprehensive supports to innocent homeowners. The fund will be partially paid for by Obama's increased penalties on lenders who act irresponsibly and commit fraud."Isn’t buying a house up to the homeowner and not the Federal Government? Will we have any money left over at the end of Senator Obama’s first term? Why am I paying for someone else’s mortgage?

"For the last twenty-four hours headline news have been the New Yorker front cover" but not the recent passing of the FISA Bill Amendments Act of 2008 or the HCON Res 362, which is a blockade and sanctions against Iran.Mr. Obama had flip-flopped and actually voted for the FISA Amendments, which would give past, present and future immunity to telecommunications companies of wiretapping citizens of the United States, both foreign and domestic. This is unconstitutional and strictly goes against the fourth amendment
Debate: Who is going to be the next President of the United States?
Side: Obama's Math

An Associated Press article on MSNBC's website today reports that Barack Obama has already spent $3.3 million in television advertisements with a projected total of $90 million in campaign advertising to be spent by November 4th. The dollar amounts are also buttressed by Obama's 11 percent point lead over McCain in the Gallup polls ("the largest advantage since the organization began testing voter opinions in their matchup early in the summer" the report claims.)Yet, I think the most persuasive argument in support of Obama's advantage is the fact that his ad campaign has been predominantly positive as only a mere "34 percent of his ads attacked McCain directly."The McCain/Palin campaign, on the other hand, seems to be scraping for negative attacks against Obama and nearly all of McCain's television spots have focused on Obama. The GOP's resort to personal attacks on Obama's personal life, his past affiliations (see the Bill Ayers issue), and campaign finances wreak of desperation and (I think) will ultimately prove detrimental to the McCain/Palin ticket as the more they try to pin the tail on Obama the less they are able to effectively address the economic crisis, which is going to be the deciding issue for American voters in this election. Obviously, the economic crisis is playing into the hands of Democratic candidates across the nation as Republicans seem to be incapable of separating themselves from the disastrous fiscal idiocy of the last eight years and McCain is no exception. Whether or not the situation we're currently in actually is the Bush administration's fault or not is not the issue, in the collective voting conscience across America it is. Perhaps it'd be more beneficial to McCain and Palin to redirect their attack-dog-tactics towards the Bush Administration rather than Obama. The problem lies in the obvious risk in such a move, Palin's utter incapability of making such a turn, and the bottomless ocean of fresh material it'd give Democrats to use against the Republican ticket.The math for Obama, from this perspective, is much, much better than even the polls or dollar numbers can show.

How come no one ever discusses his ties to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac when he was a lawyer promoting Government to give loans out to people who couldn't afford them? Giving loans out to people with little or not credit. Obama is a fraud and should never be trusted.
Debate: Who is going to be the next President of the United States?
Side: Barack Obama

Presidential Candidate Barack Obama never states an actual timetable. When the surge was first enacted President Bush stated he would increase troops by 30,000 but would only take out 5,000 by summer of 2008 (that still has not happened).The supposed anti-war party, the Democrats, won the election in 2006 on promising removal of troops in Iraq, which was a complete lie. Democratic officials keep claiming that their bills keep getting vetoed. All they have to do is not supply the troops with funding and that would end the war.Every week a new meeting is held in either Afghanistan or Iraq to discuss future long-term deals when a week before a public official says the war will come to an end soon. No progress is being made in Iraq and Afghanistan.The only reason why there is less violence in Iraq is because the U.S.-led coalition is paying off insurgent groups. Not to mention any time a soldier or civilian dies, that is not a win in my book. What are soldiers dying for in Iraq? Proponents of the war cannot give the same precise answer because no one knows why we have 4,000 dead Americans.Mr. Obama was in Afghanistan last week to; once again, discuss long-term initiatives with President Hamid Karzai. Mr. Obama wants to redeploy, at least, 10,000 American troops from Iraq into Afghanistan.

Obama is young, energetic, a great speaker with big ideas. He's exactly the man (or woman, but this just happens to be a male presidential race) that we need to bring change to this country. He's got all the right ideas, form the Global economic crisis, to the war in Iraq, he's just a guy bursting to get his ideas into the playing field. He's a great man for the job, and he beats out McCain by a mile.

Side: Barack Obama

As an independent, I don't agree with the beliefs of either candidate, but as an informed citizen, I am regretful to say that Barack Obama will win. It is unfortunate, however, because most of his policies are Bull-S* and a lot of what he says will weaken this country. But I grew up with this rule of life my dad always made sure I remembered: ":People are stupid." and that is exactly why Obama is going to win, because uniformed voters are stupid voters, and a lot of the people that vote are uninformed, and a lot of what Obama says appeals to the uninformed voter. Informed voters should know that Obama talks nonsense and shouldn't be trusted at the head of this country, but following my first rule of life, I say that Obama will win. We were stupid enough to put Bush # 2 into office and with G-d as my witness we will be stupid enough to put Obama into office!

Debate: Who is going to be the next President of the United States?
Side: Barack Obama

I think Obama will win, but I don't want him to. I think of him as an "empty suit". One of the reasons I think he will win is because I think a lot of people who have gone through college (which doesn't necessarily make one smart, just educated), what to show the world that "America" is color blind. And they really don't know much about this man, except that he is a man of "color". The want to say to the world "look at America, we are so ethnically non-discriminative that we can elect a "black" man. Just look how far we have come. This might not be the right time nor the right man, but that doesn't matter to many. If you quiz a college student about Barack, they don't know much, just that he is for change. What in the world does CHANGE mean anyhow??? Change for higher taxes, change for more terrorism??? Change, does he want everyone to change clothes all the time??? I know that was stupid, but so is "a Change we can believe in". What???? How many people know his voting average in the Senate. How many people know where he came from, how he got into politics and who helped him climb the ladder to be a Senator. No easy feat in Chicago!!! The biggest and most corrupt "party machine" in the country. But how many people know this, how many people care to find out about the man?? I know this for sure, he is a smooth talker. Always praising Hilliary and the way she is running for President. Boo.

I think you may have misunderstood Joe's reasons for these posts. If you read his earlier post you would realize that he said "How many points do I have to lose before my efficiency drops to zero?" It may be a stretch for me to say this, but that could very possibly be his reasoning.And apart for the spam posts, I think that Joe is a very intelligent intellectual who just likes to have a little fun.

Debate: Who should be the next President?
Side: McCain

The reason that I want to see McCain become our next president is for many reasons. One being that he is not a socialist like Senator Obama. Obama plans on doing a little something called redistributing the wealth, something an infamous man did about fifty years ago, his name was Joseph Stalin leader of Communist Russia better known as the U.S.S.R. McCain wants to continue the war, which we have not won yet. Obama wants to pull our troops over a period of of eight months. He wants to keep drilling for oil, which is something we need. McCain does not want to raise taxes like Obama does. Obama wants to invest billions of tax dollars to finding an alternative to oil, not just because we are running out, but because of global warming, which has been disproven. Another reason is experience, something that Senator Obama does not have. Obama has been a senator for less than a decade, McCain has been in politics since 1982. Now personnaly I don't like McCain but I see him as the lesser of two evils.
