SUPER TUESDAY, Bitches... Options

[The Fanatic]

This is the official place to post reactions, stories, events, predictions etc associated with Super Tuesday which is tomorrow Feb 5th. For those of you who are not in the know, 24 states will hold primaries or Caucasus tomorrow which will ultimately lead to the confirmation of the official nominees.

I predict that Hillary Clinton and John McCain will be the nominees for their respective parties.

What's funny to me is that a majority of people who are supporting Obama can merely say, "Hilary is a bitch" or "Obama wants change"....but they don't use anything of SUBSTANCE to backup their stance.

I've been listening to political radio shows for weeks, and I can't think of A SINGLE Obama supporter who has called in and given any information on his platform as their reason for why they plan to vote for him. Just like him, they are all fluff.

I'll give you some reasons, based both on character and the issues.

Character
Hillary is a polarizing figure. Republicans like to actively work against her and many independents & democrats are leery of her too. Barack, on the other hand, has a history of working well with those across party lines in Congress and has broad appeal.

Under the Bush administration, we have lost face with the rest of the world. In large part, they don't like us. Hillary is too hard, too cold to help us with that. I think Barack has the charisma to get the job done. And yes, I'm aware this is just fluff.


Issues
Universal Health care. I don't like it, but if it's gonna be there, I'd rather have a plan without mandatory enrollment.

Clinton thinks that sexual/violent video games are a moral travesty and reminded me strongly of Jack Thompson back when she was commenting on GTA: San Andreas. Based on this alone, I don't think any self-respecting gamer should vote for her.

Free market. Barack has spoken in favor of the free market, Hillary has spoken against it.

Abstinence-only sex education. Clinton says the jury is still out on them, Obama believes that the federal government should stop funding such programs and should concentrate on comprehensive sex ed instead.

Warrantless wiretaps. Obama opposes them, Clinton supports them (at least in limited situations).



I'm sure there's more, but that's all that I feel like coming up with right now.

Hillary has worked with the Republicans well too on several occassions. I see you completely missing the target on this one

Under the Bush administration, we have lost face with the rest of the world. In large part, they don't like us. Hillary is too hard, too cold to help us with that. I think Barack has the charisma to get the job done. And yes, I'm aware this is just fluff.

forget that her husband was a huge diplomatic leader for this country. lets remember that the first spouse has a lot of responsibilities too...especially in another Clinton administration. Missed the target again

Issues
Universal Health care. I don't like it, but if it's gonna be there, I'd rather have a plan without mandatory enrollment.

to each their own. i argued this another thread so ill save it.

Clinton thinks that sexual/violent video games are a moral travesty and reminded me strongly of Jack Thompson back when she was commenting on GTA: San Andreas. Based on this alone, I don't think any self-respecting gamer should vote for her.

she's old... all older people see these games as bad. Hell, even I think a lot of them are.

Free market. Barack has spoken in favor of the free market, Hillary has spoken against it.

not an issue I care about so moving on

Abstinence-only sex education. Clinton says the jury is still out on them, Obama believes that the federal government should stop funding such programs and should concentrate on comprehensive sex ed instead.

Im for the teaching of abstinence. I dont think 13, 14 and 15 year olds should be fucking

Warrantless wiretaps. Obama opposes them, Clinton supports them (at least in limited situations).

again... another issue that i dont give a rats ass about because I dont do illegal shit so im fine



WAHHHHH THE GOVERNMENT IS OUT TO GET ME
