how did you vote




Posted by #061402

If I were American, I'd vote Obama. I generally dislike liberals (They're much too liberal around here.), but Obama is exactly what America needs right now. There's enough tension in the world without McSame. (I liked that nickname. Very informative.)

[quote=The X;898043]how did you vote

Prop 100: Block the legislature from enacting a real estate transfer tax. Voted Yes.

Prop 101: Guarantee that Arizonans can choose their own health care. Voted yes.

Prop 102: Amends the constitution to recognize marriage as only between one man and one woman. Voted no.

Prop 105: Any initiative that imposes additional taxes or spending, in order to pass, would require support from a majority of qualified electors (not just those voting). Voted yes.

Prop 202: Increases penalties on cash-based businesses who bypass current laws as well as employees who engage in identity theft to verify employment eligibility. Voted yes.

I did not vote on propositions 200 or 201.




Posted by WillisGreeny

I voted for Obama, aswell as the rest of the dems that were running.
I was a bit dissapointed looking at Iowa's local ballot measures:

Yes/No : use 20 million tax dollars to improve conservation of land, lakes, rivers, and streams.
I voted yes because I'm sick of the Iowa River looking like a movie's clich

i'm complaining about your opinion because quite frankly it is terrible and embarrassing.

anybody who could even CONSIDER having that thing as VP (or even a potential president - voting a senile stroke victim into office isn't exactly a lifetime guarantee) is a traitor to human common sense.

What the hell possible reason could you have for supporting the republicans this time around? Do you want to bomb THE EYE-RACK and THE EYE-RAN? Do you believe abortion kills babies? Does gay marriage result in a total dissolution of morality? Are atheists a secret illuminati-like cabal? Have you been living with your head in the sand for the past year?

You're entitled to your opinion, but keep in mind: All opinions are not equal. some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated and well supported in logic and argument than others. yours falls short.

[FONT="Comic Sans MS"][COLOR="Yellow"]No actually, its nothing to do with any of those things at all, save for the Iraq and Iran thing. I supported Guliani from the start of this whole thing, just so you know. To be perfectly honest, I see Obama's policies as ridiculous and fool-hardy in a time like this.

First things first, Iraq. Pulling out now would be a disaster. Think Germany post World War I. Why did Hitler rise to power? Because the Entente left Germany with a weak infastructure that created a power vacuum. The same thing will happen in Iraq if America pulls out immidetly. Then, all your deaths will be in vain. Its the same reason why Canada is still in Afghanistan.

Secondly, his demilitarization policies in general are foolish, with Korea and Iran knocking on the back door, eighty percent of the Arabs screaming "death to America," and Russia looming over a broken USA, to demilitarize would be stupid.


My biggest concern is his economic plan. He promises to cut middle class taxes and raise it on the rich. Wheres the liberty in raising the taxes of the rich? But thats a different issue altogether. Sure cutting middle class taxes will benefit in the short term, but if the rich are taxed heavier, expect layoffs and an unemployment rise in the long term. Not to mention his promises of programs and reform that require money that the treasury doesn't have. Wheres the money coming from?

Bottom line, I don't give two ****s about his liberal policies (being the lovely stuff like abortion and all that). I'm against it, but thats not the reason I didn't want Obama in office. Like I said, I supported Guliani, and he was all for that stuff. Hell, he was more of a Democrat than a Republican, but whatever.

Yeah, the ridiculous war-debts had nothing to do with it. Hitler was a very strong leader who managed to rally the German people using the Jews/weak previous leaders as scapegoats.

You sound quite paranoid. If America goes for a more peaceful way, there is no reason for anyone to attack. People in general dislike America because they shoot first and ask questions later. And, even if someone did attack, the UN would take action, seeing as how the US has a great deal of power there.

[QUOTE=UncleYaris;898303][FONT="Comic Sans MS"][COLOR="Yellow"]Wheres the liberty in raising the taxes of the rich?[/COLOR][/FONT]

They have more money, they can afford higher taxes. Having it the other way simply means that you're widening the gap even further between rich and middle class/poor.

Typically, I wouldn't get involved but this is actually a great move on Obama's part. The middle class is getting smaller, the lower class growing bigger, and the rich are getting richer. These are the ingredients for a complete break down in a governmental system and the building blocks of a totalitarian nation. And even if your negatives did take place, the government can always produce enough jobs to get the money flowing again. If major corporations begin laying off because their personal pay checks are getting taxed heavier than the every-man, then I think there's a bigger issue we need to address than taxes. But hey, that last part's just my opinion.

You have no grasp of economics. Nothing more need be said.




Posted by WillisGreeny

Less taxes != more jobs.

Less taxes = More jobs sent overseas.

How is it that fiscal conservatives still say lowing taxes is good when the past 8 years have proved otherwise? Do they even look at the ****ing statistics they run their mouths on? Less taxes hasn't increased US's job growth because our country seems to be in denial of the effects of globalization. Cut taxes = job growth for cheaper labor in other countries &! USjobs. It's quite funny to hear how bad socialism will be to our economy when China's GDP is growing just fine.

Also, what's up with this all or nothing bull ****? It's not asif we can't adopt certain socialist policies without going completely socialist (since going socialist is a very bad thing according to so many with so few reasons). eeck. politics...

Someone predict the obvious, right?



Posted by The Judge

What this country really needs is to not have a bi-party system. Until that day comes (which it never will) there needs to be equal division between the parties that are placed in power. With Bush ruling with a stupid fist for the past 8 years and proving himself to be one of the worst presidents in history, the time for a republican candidate is well since gone. This country needs a democrat, just like 4 to 8 years from now, we'll need a republican. You can't have a country that prides itself on equality between all ideals run by a singular way of thinking.

Canada is still in Afghanistan because we don't want to **** off America. We don't want to be involved in any wars but we're forced because of our ties to America. We tried going down the road of peace and you guys got amazingly mad. That's the only reason we're still over there, and though we want to pull out Obama will likely ask us to stay and we'll have to.

Also, do you really think the US will ignore Iraq after they pull out? No. They'll keep a very close eye on what they do and who's in power. Another Hitler wouldn't be possible.

[quote=O.T.L;898874]Bribing wetbacks with papers if they join the army is also not cool.

It's a waste of federal tax dollars and further proof that our own government is not always there to work for us. I can see US military communications being a failed branch, what with all the language barriers being dumped back in-in bulk from that method. Enlistment contracts should be amended with a permanent check box (for US citizens) listing if they are fluent in Spanish.

If I could put a name on this, I'd call it "Operation Taco Shield".
