Clinton isn't going to be Obama's VP. You can't berate a guy and suggest that his opponent is the better man and still expect him to make you his running mate.
Well, let me start by saying I take offense to that. All of it.
Obama's from Chicago, not Africa. My goodness, just because his father is Kenyan doesn't make him a total African as well.
McCain is becoming a Bush clone, but he would not start WWIII. Just because Bush has lost most of his support doesn't mean he has the right (in his final months as President) to
attack every major country in the world. He still needs Congress' approval to do that. McCain will have the same restriction.
Just because you don't like Obama doesn't make you a racist. In fact, voting for him because of his race is racist. Feel free to vote for whomever you want, but it should be based on their views, not race, gender, or health.
It does not matter who is voted in as the next president, there will always be hostility towards the United States. If we can prevent radicals and terrorist groups from obtaining WMDs, then we're safe. No "Nuclear Drill." To call McCain a warmonger is to overly exaggerate. Not all Republicans want to start WWIII. Not all Republicans are going to destroy the world.
Get a grip, man. If you don't support McCain, don't vote for him. But please don't say mean and untruthful things about him.
That said, I support Obama :P
George Washington warned us about political parties. Whoever brought up how only two parties is a bad thing, I agree. They only divide us as a country and as a government. Even in the earliest years of our country they have caused loads of problems.
The primary reason the United States has a two-party system is because the seats in Congress are assigned to the winners of Congressional District races and the Senate races at the state level. However if the amount of seats each party was decided in proportion to the amount of the vote each party received in the general election. If that was the case then third-parties would be stronger in the United States.One thing I've never understood is why the United States needs a two-party system. In just about every other country, you can't count the number of political parties on two hands, and yet America has two. Having only two parties really reduces the number of moderate viewpoints, and it discourages cooperation. In a system with more parties, the parties need to compromise and work together in order to find a solution because none of them ever hold the majority.
In addition, compartmentalizing and categorizing people based on their political party is lame. Not everyone is a mindless drone that completely copies their party's platform. Make your own decisions, and don't judge people based on theirs.
I guess it kind of doesn't make sense when you say it like that. Oh well.
