 (Of Course you can post debates!!! <3 you for doing so!!! lol)

Personally...I don't like either candidate. I didn't even love Hillary (Until she dropped out) but now, I wish she was back...I've been getting so many forwards and emails about all sides. And, although I don't take it all for fact through email, theres some things to think about...

First of all, on the experience issue. In an email I received, it said that Obama's only had 143 days working in the senate building....and like...it put it in perspective. After 143 days of a job, some people are just getting insurance...you can't go from peeon to CEO in 143 days, so why is it ok to go all the way to president??? Secondly, I don't love the way Obama carries himself. He's like the cocky teenager who feels like no one can touch him...He's going to other countries to do meet and greets, and preaching about change, and the enthusiasm is great...but you can almost tell, (like with a cocky teenager) that theres a hollowness to his promises, other than the "all politicians lie" promises. At first, I was really for him, thinking "well we need a younger opinion in the white house" But now, after listening to him speak...its very much so like..."THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK!!!!"

As far as McCain goes...I couldn't disagree more with half of his beliefs...BUT...He's at least got the wisdom of old age on his side...He seems to know when its appropriate to hold his tongue. For example, he was on Ellen a long time back...and when she asked hiim his views on gay marriage, he said something like "you know, this is something we're not going to agree on, but I respect your stand point..." but he said it MUCH nicer...and...if he can talk his way out of that situation...he can probably do better diplomacy...And, he'll do it on his own. I personally believe that Chaney has been the puppet master for 8 years...because theres no way dubbyah could have thought up half of his statements and actions...he was just convinced it was right, and then the meaning was lost in translation...because Chaney lost control of the mouthpiece for a while...McCain is going to go head first into it, and scrape off his skin cancer on the concrete.

I REALLY know nothing about Biden...but I seem to have taken a liking to Palin. And I know theres HUGE controversies surrounding her...but nothing can hurt her as bad as "SHE TRAINED WITH RADICAL MUSLIMS!" in my eyes. She really seems like a no nonsense sort of people...and she's going to get things done. (They may not be what we want done...or what we like, but they'll get done...)

So, I seem to be going with the Republicans this year. At least for now. My tune may change.

But here's some political candy for you all to chew on:

It'll get stuck in your head....but I love it because it attacks EVERYBODY :D
