Default Ok, lets get this political party started

So who are you voting for and why?
Election Day is not that far away. I know some people might take this as a very personal question, so please don't feel obligated to answer. Hopefully this thread can help introduce some of the key issues that some people might not know about. I've included a few helpfull links for you to check out, but do your own research! Debates are sure to arise, be civil!

We have Barack Obama on the Democrat side, and John McCain on the Republican side.

If you need help to decide, take this quiz http://www.politicalbase.com/toolbox...yTest&testId=8

Helpfull links:

Why McCain?
http://www.johnmccain.com/Undecided/WhyMcCain.htm

Why Obama?
http://factcheck.barackobama.com/

Whats the difference between a Republican and a Democrat?
http://www.americasdebate.com/forums...showtopic=1948
I really like the info here because like it says in the first post, it's not answered with the usual conservative vs. liberal answer.




Ok, well so far my vote is with McCain. My biggest reason is because McCain supports off-shore drilling for oil. My second biggest reason, is McCain also wants to open more nuclear power plants. Another reason, McCain strongly supports the Second Amendment (Right to bare arms), which I think is awesome.

"No political threads allowed, take it to SSU" -TITAN


My bet is something along those lines.

yeah becasue not voting makes sense....

"hmm in not going to vote so if something goes wrong i have no accountability because i didn't vote for him"

It's sad that people around the world are willing to go to war and give up their lives to overturn a dictator just to be able to vote and here where it's a basic right and should be required to be receive any sort of .gov benefits we take it for granted and dont vote.

I imagine this will be the largest voting turnout we've seen in our lifetimes.
