I'm a registered Independent so here's my take:
I think McCain has the upper hand on experience and his vice-presidential partner is a really good choice. I think his plans for the energy crCIA make more sense than "Lol let's research crap we already knew works". I'm all for alternative fuels, but sometimes the govt thinks in strange ways.
I don't think Obama can put forth what he claims he can, he can't debate because he's torn between appeasing the staunch liberals and the more conservative side. Basically people like him because he is a great orator. The economy is in a dive and no matter who takes control, its going to stay the course until it finally lifts up, or the govt steps in. These things go in cycles, economic boom then a recession. (Only reason its not horrible right now, is because its an election year, next year won't be)
Caesar was great orator, look what happened there : / (obviously Obama won't claim the role of Emporer, but he's promising more than he has experience delivering)
I doubt any of you (except maybe 2 or 3) have a clue about the race except "Lul i loik obama cuz hes black which maeks him different and he say he can change the united states lul", maybe its because you don't really have a say in the process, or you listen to your parent's opinions. Not all Black people agree with Obama, I've talked to my friends and they don't agree with some of the things he's pitching. Saying all Black will vote Obama is just ignorant.
Here's how taxes play out (toned down version), Democrats want to take the tax out of your wage before you spend it (so the govt automatically has the money), Republicans give you money back so you spend it (so it helps the economy and eventually returns to the govt). So that govt check your parents received actually helped the economy. That's why Holidays are insane, govt is all for you spending money.
Buy a TV! BUY A TV! PUH-LEEZE BUY A TV!!!
The war isn't ending any time soon, a stuffe muslim is in power and the Sunnis don't like that; which means, TENSION/DISTRUST. Obama can't change a religion, and if we pull out of there, its going to be way worse than before.
I highly doubt the draft will be re-initiated. Even if it does happen, go to college if you don't want to get caught. But if you want to be a bum after highschool, then you will be boned.
