John McCain: The War Hero

[FluxCapacitorClock]

Have you ever noticed that for some reason all the people that need a Democrat vote republican? or is it just me

Elaborate.

I disagree. I find most people generally vote for somebody who fits their personal beliefs. These personal beliefs expand to all sorts of different social classes. Nobody ever really votes for simple good policy, because everyone is trying to cram morality down everyone else's throat.

I still wouldn't vote for McCain since he's for continueing No Child Left Behind and that's fucked my school enough as it is.

I heard from my old school a lot of the arts programs got closed down. If it wasn't for art classes I never would have graduated because I never would have shown up at school.

Damn that sucks
Yeah, thank you Bush.  Now my school focuses on teaching what's on the damn state tests instead of teaching us anything helpful.

Midway through my junior year I discovered that I was interested in history and I got pissed because I wasn't actually being taught anything in history classes. The civil war unit went like this:

The south seceded.
Then a war happened.

We covered a shitload of reconstruction stuff, but that was about it. The teacher even said "I really wish we could cover this stuff more, but it's just not on the exam".

You can't blame only Bush for No Child Left Behind, its co-Authored by Democratic Rep. George Miller of California and Democratic U.S. Sen. Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts.

And a couple of winners those assholes are. The difference between a democrat and a republican is the difference between a black man's asshole and a white man's asshole. They parade around in different colors even though they both smell just as bad.

I'm voting for Obama since he is going to try and fix the economical crisis.

How? Spending all of our already debt-ridden money on some imaginary project? It's not a management problem with the economy, it's a world problem, lessening the dependence on oil would only slightly help, and even then it wouldn't get us out of our ten trillion dollar debt, there's barely that much money in the world (around 60-80 Trillion(?)) let alone enough to fix our economy from the shit that monopoly loving companies have driven it into.


Unless of course he's planning on changing us from the Free market system, which honestly would be the best idea at this point. And fuck stock based economies.

Thanks for that completely relevant post in a totally not-dead thread.

You seem to be under the impression that private businesses own the government's money. It's the government that had the power to get us into debt, and it's through governing alone that we can be brought out of debt. Even if Obama doesn't get us out of debt, McCain's oh-so-vast knowledge of economics will cause us to somehow owe more money than there exists in the world, which is REALLY saying something, since more than 90% of the world's money is already imaginary.

A TRUE HERO WOULD FIGHT TO THE DEATH RATHER THEN GET CAPTURED!

DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR!

[NintendrCkolc]

I dont care if hes a POW. 8 years of failed policies is enough.

Thread over.

[Marlin Clock]

I love how everyone missed what I'm trying to say completely.
It really shows our debate skills when y'all can't even grasp the beginning statement.

A thread where everyone said "you're right, although it barely reflects on his political platform John Mccain certainly was an honorable American who sacrificed much in Veitnam blah blah blah" would be boring and not really a debate at all would it?

Also I don't remember who said this but it does seem odd that someone who suffered in a foreign prison camp would advocate a prolonged war overseas and oppose phased withdrawal.

[Loki Clock]

Yes, there's really not much to debate, unless you expect people to be challenging the fact that he even fought. And then when someone did actually do that no one debated it. I mean, yeah. We're reminded that he was a war hero. But there's not really anywhere else to go from there except where it went.

OBAMA HAD TO FIGHT THE WHITE MAN ALL HIS LIFE!
