This will most likely be my last political blog for this election, (I might throw something in on election day), I have a hell of alot of Studying to catch up on, as I've practicly said "Fuck it" for the last month to work on the Obama Campaign here at the University. Anyways, this will be politically neutral, as I'm only curious as to the makeup of the voters here on ebaums.
If you care too, respond with the following information-
- What state you reside in, and whether you live in an Urban (Small and large cities) or Rurual area. (Townships and countryside)
- What your occupation is, how much you earn (Be truthful, most of you do NOT earn more then 30k and still hang out on ebaums for 4-6 hours a day).
- Who your voting for, whether you will be voting a straight ticket, or splitting your vote on a local level.
- Your reasons for voting for YOUR candidate. If voting for the "Lesser of Two Evils", then explain why, but do not go on an onslaught of attacking the ... Read more ...
As a warning, this is incredibly long. We all know that Sarah Palin was the governor and then VP pick for her home state of Alaska, but how did she get there? Here is an unbiased view at Sarah Palin, the self Proclaimed Hockey Mom, supporter of Joe Six-pack, and VP pick for McCain the Maverick.
It's unlikely the name Sarah Palin would mean much to anyone if not for a man named Nick Carney. Long before she stood up to Republican cronies and "the good old boys" of Alaska, Palin stood up to Carney, a colleague on Wasilla's city council. As Kaylene Johnson explains in her sympathetic biography, Sarah, Carney had the gall to propose an ordinance giving his own company the city contract for garbage removal. In Johnson's telling, it was the first time Palin bravely spoke truth to power: "'I said no and I voted no,' Sarah said. 'People should have the choice about whether or not to haul their garbage to the dump.'" Johnson writes that Palin's vote made Carney into a "political en ... Read more ...
I found out it's much easier to allow McCain to show his own Hypocrisy, then it is to try and explain it myself. So, lets go to the source! John McCain, speaking about his stances on issues, and then quickly changing them when it becomes Advantageous. His, "Straight Talk Express", obviously goes both ways, which of course McCain is both for and against.
On- The Iraq War, the Confederate Flag, The Religious Right, Gay Marriage
On- The threat level on ground forces in Iraq, Katrina, Experience on Economics, the current American Economy, his stance on Tax-Cuts
Now, you have all heard about Obama's reverend, and of course now Palin is trying to Tie Obama even closer to Dr. Reverend Jeremiah Wright. Well take a Look at McCains pastor! (Normally I say this is off limits, but since the McCain Campaign ... Read more ...
Wow, it's nice the we as Democrats finally have a candidate who is willing to fight back. I'm sure most of us have seen the blog written about Barracks ties to a Once Radical Ayers. Well, in response to past associations, Obama has decided to open guns on McCains past relationships with the "Keatin Five" Savings and loans scandal. Guilt by association goes both ways for all of you die-hard fans of McCain.
How could you possibly support a Candidate who helped start the current Mortgage crises we are in now!? God, everyone who votes for McCain must all be idiots. (See how that looks FuckTedKennedy?)
Have fun with this-
Whether you hate it or love it, these are the only times in your life where your voice, not matter how small, matters to those in government. Elections are crucial to our representative form of government. Go out and VOTE! Otherwise you mean nothing whatsoever, as you will be worthless to the people who represent the state or nation that you live in.
For those of you who say, "Your vote doesn't matter", then why do the very Politicians you despise are willing to spend millions of dollars just to reach your ears? It's worth something to them, and it can be worth something to you. If you do not like the candidates, then you can vote for who ever the hell you want! Write fucking Mickey mouse or Darth Vader in the Ballot! You're lazy, that's all it means, and there are NO excuses.
If you want more then your single voice, then go out and help ca ... Read more ...
