I think I'm leaning for McCain because he's for offshore drilling.
Obama isn't.

[conman1000]

And America is finally leaning to McCain, about a month ago, Obama had like 320 and Mcain was down to less than 200.

Obama isn't.

if you lean too much toward him you could kill him....he's old

Obama still has this, i will go crazy if McCain gets it - something about him that makes me think of Bush all over again, i mean look at this:

He slept? That's so awesome.

All I want is gas prices to go down and Obama doesn't want offshore drilling.
Poo on that :[

it'll just destroy our environment faster - it's better if we fund other fuel sources such as the ethanol which is more environment friendly and with so much corn in this country, it IS possible.

Oh, definitely.
I'm just looking for temporary relief while they get that ball rolling.
I'm sick of using all my money on my tank.
And until I can afford a new car, that's what I need.

lol, one good thing about NYC is public transportation, subway is everywhere, and where there isn't subway there are buses and i believe a majority of the city buses are Hybrids so they are already saving gas

but anyways, McCain seems slow to me. like if we are getting invaded by aliens, it'll probably take him a month to think of orders

we all know he was locked up abroad for years, but still....slow and old aren't good trails for a president

lol.
I'm mostly on Obama's side, except for the oil thing.

I wish I could use more public transportation or something.
It's ridiculous.

[Iceskater101]

I am for Obama all the way

[Trunks]

I think I rather have Mccain. He payed off his mansion with his election money, so that's a win for me = p

McCain.

No Obama, please. I want Offshore drilling, it won't ruin our environment. It is only gas.
Obama is anti-guns. So if you have a concealed Carry Permit, say BAI. If Obama becomes president, and you're in a dark alley and get robbed with gun point because you don't have a gun with you because of Obama, can you sue him?

Obama didn't tell the Russians to back off of Georgia. That was all McCain. Obama didn't have the balls to say that.
I'm getting my CCP as soon as I'm old enough...the world isn't that safe anymore.

lol wtf, neither McCain nor Obama has any power to tell russia anything, they can do whatever the hell they want, they are one of the strongest nations in the world.

Drilling doesn't destroy the environment, people using it too much destroys the atmosphere.

I am against offshore drilling as well, instead of spending money taking drills offshore for drilling, We should use the money to fund research that looks for other ways to make energy. We can do a lot with solar power but there isn't enough funding for research to do a great deal these days.

We all have our opinions :) I am for Obama and I am ready to debate anything you guys might have whether its about the war with Iraq, off shore drilling, global warming, or who's older than who :)

[Samus-Fan]

I laugh at the people who believe in Global Warming.
If Humans weren't here, it still would be happening. It is the clerean in the air that is thinning the ozone. Not making holes, its making it thin in certain spots. The pollution is, actually, helping it. It is making a film that is blocking a lot of UV rays. This is just nature having its ways.

I wouldn't say that Russia is a strong country, it's on a downswing.

I totally agree with you about alternative energies, but in the meantime I think we need offshore drilling to ease the strain of the gas suckers we have to deal with NOW.
We're not going to switch from gas to E85 overnight.
It's going to take years.

Why not help the people now?
While the research for alternative fuels is still in the process.

global warming is natural yes. but humans have accelerated it, no one said humans cause global warming, and the Pollution is not helping block UV rays from coming in, thats a different story - pollution is just keeping the Heat inside the earth longer heating up the planet, thus global warmingg

I won't argue with you there but they would actually save a lot of money if they can provide public transportation to more places other than the big cities. But they won't do that because they won't get the attention they want this way. Every politician wants to look like a hero so they bring up stuff that doesn't really matter and leave out the stuff that's important.

For example, Gay Marriages, who cares? Let them do whatever the hell they want. But you will constantly see politicians bringing it up and taking sides. You won't hear them talking about global warming too much because all politicians are paid off by the big companies. Oil Companies are HUGE and they have as big of an influence on the Gov't as the Pharmaceutical companies do which is just horrible.

And as for alternative energy, we have them already. Wind power, solar power, water power, earth power, they are all there. Only a few people have them because the parts are too expensive to mass produce. If the government took some money and gave them out as grants or something to just one alternative energy field, they could have those up and running in a few months and I know our oil won't run out for many more years.

There is a city somewhere in Europe which is completely green. All houses have their own solar panels and wind mills. They make their own energy. No Electricity bill. Same for their cars. We need something like that!

I'd lol so hard if they brought public transportation to Essex County.
Besides the trains which cost 20 bucks a ticket. Anyways, No trains stop in my town. They haven't for 20 years. Most people here are low on cash. I'm the only person in my class whose family can get a computer that is fast, +fast internet.

Anyways I'm wanting Obama. McCain's Bush again. Obama is more likely to get all the people with hummers in this town to get hydrids.

There is one thing everyone in this towns owns... a car. You have to have a car. Prices for Hydrids are going down and I'm sure plenty can save for them.

[conman1000]

Obama had a new ad, it says that McCain has made his choice, and it's just the same. No offense but a 44 year old Woman from Alsaka isn't the usual.
