You’ve got one good trick and you’re hanging on you’re hanging on to it

I thought I'd try opening this up more, and not just go back and forth with just_xbreathe. I don't want her to be the only one supporting McCain either. I know my LJ is a hot bed for politics and all

Its so much easier to just repeat what other people say.

Obama becomes president and the war comes to the states. Sadly though i won't be voting this year because i don't want jury duty.

fuck jury duty!

I imagine I will see a sea of flames coming my way for sticking my neck out

Since I have a "I don't like talking about politics" rule with myself (and among friends...it's just better than getting into heated arguments), I won't go into too many details (i.e. what you want :P), but I actually do support John McCain and have wanted him to be our President since 2000 when Bush said he had an illegitimate black baby and derailed his chances with a lie. Oh well, play to win or GTFO -_

I also realize I didn't give you a list of actual reasons to vote for him or anything and that's on purpose. Most folks believe what they believe and it's difficult to actually convince someone otherwise and I'm fine with you disagreeing with me. I just wanted to highlight things that are important to me and why I think he's more inline with *me* not necessarily what he'll do for *you*. I'm 99% sure I won't convince you and I'm fine with that and would rather not waste my time ;).

I did debate on providing my own list of 'bad' things like you did for McCain, but will assume you also realize Obama has done some stupid things as of late. If not, I *can* do it, but would rather not since it's not very constructive.

Well I'm not asking for someone to change my mind, but to give me reasons as to what he's done that makes him stand out. Choices that he's made that makes you appreciate him

I am busy right now, but I'll see what I can do either in a reply or an IM to you later today.

[ecpcorran]

Do I have to show you why you should be ok with McCain, because honestly I'm very low on good points after watching his campaign drill itself into the ground since the conventions

[ecpcorran]

Slightly off topic, but in regards to the economic bailout, that is an issue all unto itself. I am not satisfied, and my above comment does not necessarily mean that I support it or the current plan. However, I do realize something has to be done...

[ecpcorran]

Point of order: The talks failed because someone in McCain's party chose to refuse the current plan and present yet another one.

The talks failed because the Democratic party couldn't get its own people behind it. The Democrats are in control of both houses & had the support of Bush (no veto). ie, they didn't need Republican support at all.

Either would be better than Bush right now, but I'd rather it be Obama. McCain would be some of the same old, and I really don't want Palin anywhere near the white house.

[just_xbreathe]

eh, truly i dont support either. I just think that McCain is the lesser of the two evils. They say Obama stands for change... ok... well I change my underwear everyday but that doesn't mean I'd make a good president.

and you know what.... fuck jury duty, i'm not flying my ass back out to the states just because I have to decide weather some teenage punk is guilty or not.

anyway I miss you guys! :( Wish you two could have come up to see us before we leave :( Always got a place to stay if you two actually decide to spend the money to travel over there :D I hear the anime conventions are pretty good *wink

Changing your underwear every day makes you not smell.

I've personally always wanted to go to Japan, so I will try to make that happen.
