Re: Obama vs. McCain
I was a Clinton fan, but I have to go with Obama because I'm a pretty die-hard liberal and there aren't many republicans I could support.
For the record though I don't much like Obama either, AND I'm even from Illinois.

Re: Obama vs. McCain
Let me explain to you the fundamental difference between Democrats and Republicans.
As we all know, Democrats are supporters of increased government size and spending, and wish to accomplish this by raising taxes, or changing the taxation system.
Republicans on the other hand, believe in limited government, and that The government that governs least, governs best". They often believe in at least part with the theory of laissez faire economics.
Now let me tell you what exactly makes the Republicans correct where the Democrats are incorrect. The Democratic platform is central around the idea of government growth and spending. One of the biggest resource sinks the Democrats support is social security. Social security is the policy our country has that guarentees citizens that if they get injured and can't work, or reach a certain age, or can't support their family despite their job, the government will provide for them some resources to help them cope with the situation. Now, if you are a democrat, there is a very good chance you support some form of social security.
Social security is a policy which only stays in place thanks to the fears of Americans. It is the fear that you might be injured and can't work, or that your skills might not be marketable enough, that people support social security. It is their belief that is someone puts them self in a situation in which they can't function normally in society, the government, and by proxy the tax payers, should bail them out. This is the result of insecurity in the skills of the people who choose to be democrats to support themselves for their entire lives. They wish for the government to force every American to purchase a security policy which, lets be frank, is only used the majority of the time by societies lowest common denominator, and that is unmotivated people.
This attitude of governmental intervention which has begun to define 20th and 21st century Democrats is essentially a form of limited socialism.
Let me say that again.
Democrats support socialism. They wish to give the government more and more control over the assets of the people of this country, and through that, they wish to eliminate liberty.
Let me say THAT again.
Democrats wish to eliminate liberty.
I haven't even touched upon the social engineering the Democrats attempt to undertake (I'm being fair by leaving that out, that isn't a uniquely democratic feature, and it is more the result of the way our media works that the result of the Democratic party's actions)
So, I will put it all together for you. If you wish to support Barrack Obama, the most populist presidential candidate we have ever seen, you are supporting a man who seeks to eliminate liberty. That is in addition to his other flaws, (Chiefly his lack of experience) of which we are all aware.
The rise of the Democratic party, and with it the elimination of Liberty, is directly the result of the weakening of the US Dollar. People feel they are losing buying power, and as a result, they become more afraid and insecure. As such they flock to the Democratic party, and reduce the USD's strength even more. It is a viscious cycle, and this age of media fed teenagers who seem to buy so far into this idea is only going to exacerbate the issue down the line.

The democratic party does not wish to eliminate freedom you dumbshit. Even suggesting that is idiotic.
You completely made up the last paragraph unfortunately, but don't worry I will enlighten you.
The weakening of the USD is a result of the Iraq War and over spending by the government without the tax dollars to back it up. Without tax dollars, the US gov is forced to borrow from foreign entities in order to fund this multi-billion dollar war. The current US deficit is at 9.5 trillion dollars! This means that 9.5 trillion dollars are owed to countries such as our friend China. Now, the US continues to spend and borrow, but has no way to pay it back because taxes keep going lower and lower. Unfortunately, many elitists refuse to see that taxes are necessary for a government to remain functional i.e. not be plunged into a 9.5 trillion dollar deficit. Tell me how this is the result of the Democratic party's fault.
For the record I have problems with both parties, although I am more sided to the left at the current moment.

First off, they might not think they are eliminating liberty, but they are. As you get to the radical left, such as environmentalists who want to pass legislation that will make the emissions standard even more harsh, it is obvious that they wish to put in place laws which restrict the economic flow of the country. In the same sense, they wish to limit our personal liberty by increasing how much we pay into the government in taxes. They may provide us with benefits, such as social security, but in the end, we are being forced into accepting them, not given the choice of how we wish to spend our money. The more radically you subscribe to theory of increased taxation, the more in line with socialism your philosophy is. Socialism is not freedom.
And you act like the only thing the government spends money on is the war. Well, the truth is, we spend more on Health and Human Services than we do on the war. The war isn't going to be there forever, eventually, be it next term, or two decades from now, we will no longer have significant involvement in the middle east. When that happens, where is it we are throwing our money into? It isn't even close, we will be spending it on Social Security. Last year Social Security spending was 6 times as much as that of the department of agriculture (The next most expensive department), and ~100 billion dollars more than on the war. The answer to the issue of the government budget is NOT increased taxes. That is a short sighted solution. The answer is decreased government spending. The problem is still there is they raise or adjust the tax rate, nothing has been solved, there is just less money for the American people (who the government is supposed to represent)
And lets not forget which party started deficit spending policies. Satan.

Re: Obama vs. McCain
I think I finally share your opinion on one thing (almost). I am not Democrat or Republican at the moment, but I have to say I am more Republican if I had to choose. I still just wish Ron Paul would have gotten the support and funding he deserved, it's about time we had an economic and foreign policy expert libertarian in the white house. I know I have said this before...but I can't help but wish it still.
