Thread: Hilary Clinton or Barrack Obama?

Clinton's a woman?! No skirts in the office!" Most people cast polotics aside and vote for what they think is good for self. That's why we've seen plenty of republicans in office. I'm not gonna vote for race or gender either--although every black person I know will try to pressure me to do the "black" thing and vote Obama. I'm stuck, I don't know who to choose.

By the way, when I was watching CSPAN, Obama was like, "We need to lower the cost of perscription drugs and make drug companies compete with eachother like normal business do; because that's the white thing to do!" I put the word white in bold letters because I found it hilarious! I'm sure it was a weird speech slip up, but it was still funny as hell! ^_^

Haha ya I will probably have friends pressuring me to vote for Hilary cause she is a woman since I am one or Obama cause we need to support the blacks which I am half-black. I do notice people do vote for what they like/self such as the image of the person or will they support a certain issues hehe. Just the way people are .

Oh and u had me laughing with that comment about Obama saying its the white thing to do. Ah wish I could have seen that one .

I'm not sure who I will be rooting for. Both seem to have very good goals in mind. I don't really mind who wins as long as they clean up the mess Bush has gotten us into.

As for who will probably win, I'm thinking that Hilary probably has the better chance of winning because she has been in the political world or spotlight I guess I should say a good bit longer then Obama so people may be more comfortable going with her.

I do agree that some people are biased though when it comes to voting for the presidency (I mean that's one of the main reasons JFK won. Because it was the 1st televised presential race so a lot more people got to see the presidential candidates compared to past years. As a result, a lot of people voted JFK because they thought he looked better. Lol) One might pick Hilary because their a feminist and think "Woman power all the way!!" Some might pick Obama because he's black and the sound of a black president sounds like a good idea to them. Who knows?

Obama wheres your mama. lol.

I like Obama. So I'll vote for him.

Yeah. There are a lot of deciding factors surronding these two people. There's also alot of negative views floating around the two. A friend of mine and I were talking the other day, and we ultimately came up with a bunch of views from different perspectives. Y'know, presidents deal with many foriengn countries. And a good chunk of them are Muslim. Muslims don't really have good opinions of women, so what if Hilary went to Iraq to deal with officials there? Would they really heed her words? Or would they say, "This woman's talkin' shit! Attack!!!!" LOL.

Also, the same could be said about a black man. Will anyone take him seriously? Or will they think he's just talkin' out of his ass, like all the rappers do? This country's full of prejiduced people who are out for self; so it's hard to say they're gonna get a solid amount of votes--running against people like John McCain and Rudy Gullianni (Boooo! Hiss!)

Is it ok if I say... Ron Paul?
I don't like Hilary or Barack. I think either way. that for no matter who I vote for, My vote will be wasted. Our nation is doomed.. doom doom dee doomed. We waste our resources. We lie to our people, we try to regulate and track everyone and everything.. thusly taking away our feedoms. We legally drug ourselves just so that we are desensitized to the fact that we are being tracked. And I dont even want to get started on all the conspiracy that I believe is taking place in our government.

I rep Ron Paul (libertarian)... though he gets virtualy no publicity... he is the best candidate

OBAMA ALL THE WAY! I AM NOT OLD ENOUGH TO VOTE BUT STILL I WOULD CHOOSE OBAMA, WHY?.
i know it sounds dumb but he is black. plain and simple. we need a black man in the white house. but also barrack has interesting veiws and isnt afraid to speak up about them. he better win and if he gets assainated, i bet any amount of money a riot will start

GO OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ron Paul, eh? I don't know too much 'bout libertarians, and I've voted democrat since I was old enough. Nice job at pickin' the underdog, BTW, LOL. But out of the two democrats, which would you pick?
