It is really hard to take as a proud american, because that situation I am really ashamed of.

It baffles me that so many Americans (especially those on the religious right) are opposed to biological Darwinism yet happily embrace Social Darwinism.

The thing that bothers me is that people who complain about the "change" Obama is talking about, and what it really means. Can anybody truly get into specifics? I mean, what are McCain's strategies, and how are they any more defined than Obama's? The "change" mantra, is a simple one. Change direction. People are tired of the way this country has been run for the last 8 years, and want somebody who is not like the current group in the White house. It's more of a generic change, we just want to give somebody else a chance to run the country. If they ruin it, it's on their heads, but we don't need more Republicans running things right now.

Originally Posted By WorldDisney Woah, just took that poll myself. I agreed with every issue Obama said except one....freaky ;D. But at the same time, I been so wrapped up in these elections, about two thirds of the quotes I already knew who said what. So, while I was trying to just read the quote on face value, I have to admit knowing who said what to say some of them automatically clouded some of my judgement. Funny thing though the one THOUGHT that McCain said and I clicked turned out to be for Obama afterall lol.

Frankly, at this point I'm all for "DOWN WITH REPUBLICANS"...everything they do is scummy and distasteful and, yes I'll go there...UNAMERICAN! Elizabeth Dole is yet the lastest example of "how low can you go?"... I think those mud-slingers need to find their place in (past) history and all go away...we don't need them...we don't want them...and the decent ones can form some new party imho. In other (stronger) words, SCREW them. Scumbags like that deserve NO consideration and NO sympathy, and yes, unfortunately I have to include the not yet late but formerly great, and should be thoroughly ashamed of himself Senator McCain in that bunch. Sad to say, but the truth is the truth.
