You guys.
Barack. Obama. heart

(If you don't know about him, here's his Wiki article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obama )

He wants to end the war, and give us free healthcare, and fix the poverty issues, and he's honest, and he's trying to quit smoking, and omigosh if he weren't married and old, I'd be all over him. <3

Discuss:
Your favorite presidential candidate(s)
Your views on the issues
Politics in general
Crushes on old guys XD

(I know that they say you should never discuss sports, religion, and politics, buuuut... We're all very civil here, so I doubt there will be any fighting.)

I somehow find faults in all of em for me.
I like Giuliani but they say he's running a Sanctuary City.
I like Barack, but he was having some odd moments with the whole no flag pin and no hand across the chest during the anthem thing.
I am kinda liking Romney at the moment.
Abortion is the thing that has me puzzled. I'm for it in only one case: Rape.
But it's harder to do that. It's either one way or the other, so If I had to be, I guess I'd be anti-abortion. But I'm only for it in rape cases.
But just because people didn't use protection. That'd be a noway Jose thing. xP

I'm in Canada, so I don't really know much about the election going on down there right now.
But that Obama guy sounds good, the way you describe him. :]
Isn't the US in really bad debt right now?
I think they should concentrate on getting out of it.
Because free health care will just add to it.

Miss Voli: Yeah, the not-putting-his-arm-across-his-chest thing was a little odd... He probably had some reasoning behind it, but I haven't really learned much about that story yet, so I can't say for sure. The no-flag-pin thing doesn't seem like that big of a deal to me. I mean, really, that's mostly a fashion choice. XD It might be more symbolic to other people, but... I dunno.

Smirk: Yes. ._. Our debt is like... 3 billion? Trillion? Something huge like that. >_< But free health care would probably be mostly paid for by the people's taxes. So technically, each working person WOULD still be paying for health care... just in a different way.

I haven't paid much attention to the candidates. I'm not that interested. All i know is, i don't want Hillary Clinton to win. Ever. >>; No offense to anyone who supports her.

I like Guliani. I don't know much about him, though. And i hate that he's always bringing up 911.

Barack... I dunno. He seems good at face value, but he also seems like the kind of guy that has a lot of skeletons in the closet...

Anyway.
