I am sorry but I think I can only use the word 'insane' to describe McCain's policy on Iraq. Americans should retreat from there, not send more troops to Iraq.

hmm...
Bush relys on people in the mid-west & mid USA last round... If no one comes from the mid-west and speaks, this vote is equal or almost equal to useless. I wanna know why they vote for Bush.

As I said months before: Obama will be the next president. Still believe it :wink:

The US could use higher taxes. Just compare the taxes from other countries. Although I dont trust wiki this one shows sources:

I think Scandinavia has a higher burden than Germany coz of the high taxes on alcoholic drinks and cigarettes  :wink:

The only reason why I voted Omaba is I HATE WARS.
i don't care if the taxation is high or not.  Every nation has its own flaw.

Iraq wars = ~$100/barrel, Iran War? $200/barrel?

Look, if you guys are askin for $200/barrel of oil, fine to you, but NOT US!!! And stop complaining cos youre one of the acco*plice. :evil:  :x

Askin for sudden death of all buses, airlines? Fine to you, but again, not us. Most American have cars, but NOT here! cos we rely on public transport.  :evil:

BTW, Isreal government shouldn't be here if America is not helping them. And now, askin for help to attack Iran?
I'd rather ba a terrorist than being a person that sits elsewhere and doin nothin to help this situation. :x

Hey, hey, hey, HEY, we Americans hate the war too, and we are FEELING THE EFFECT OF IT just as much as you guys.  OUR GAS PRICES ARE NO LOWER THAN YOURS.  IN FACT, THERE PROBABLY HIGHER!!!!!!!!1 :-x :-x :-x

American gas prices are actually some of the lowest in the planet. We have it good at 4.00 dollars a gallon. In europe, notably France, It's at 9.00 dollars a gallon at least.

Its the US presidential elections, nobody expected G.W. Bush to be reelected for a second term either. Remember, Obama is still the first black candidate for the US presidency post.

G.W. still had an approval rating above 50% then, you have to remember that; It was before Hurricane Katrina which made it plummet (It's under 30% these days, according to a couple Of sources I've read). The difference between him and McCain is that McCain has many similar policies than Bush, and Independents will thus probably vote for Obama.
Also, I think that the Electoral College isn't a good Idea, seeing as the majority of people can want a candidate, but the other win. (i.e., the 2000 elections)

Nate, I don't know where you are but in the US we have some of the lowest gas prices for non-major oil producing countires, because the government isn't taxing the hell out of us... That's why (I'm afraid Obama was right on this) the gas tax holiday was ridiculous, as the taxes on our gas is only 20-30 cents a gallon.

And Nate, yes, I see I'm outnumbered here on the forums, on a margin of 20-1...
But still, I'm fairly sure I don't stand alone in the real world.
