vote or die
EDUCATION
McCain graduated in the bottom five of his class in the United States Naval Academy.
Then he attended national war college
Obama went to a small private liberal arts college for two years then transferred to Columbia university where he majored in political science with a specialization in international relations he graduated with a bachelors degree. Five years later he enter Harvard Law School. He graduated from Harvard with a Juris Doctor which is a professional doctorate in law and in the top 10% in his class.
As you can see Obama is allot smarter and definitely allot more educated then McCain. Why would anyone chose to have someone who graduated in the bottom five of his class to be the leader of their country? That is ridiculous and i can't imagine how anyone can look past this fact.
THE WAR IN IRAQ
McCain supports President Bush's policies and if elected as president he favors the troop increase and wants to maintain troop levels.
Obama was against the war in 2004 saying "I am not opposed to all wars, I am opposed to dumb wars." He is against the presidents troop increase and supports a phased redeployment, meaning he wants to cut the number of troops in phases.
Obama's plan makes most sense because McCain wants to do what we have been doing for the past six years and it has not been working. I believe that we need to try something different because what we are doing is not working. I understand that if we pull all of our troops out we will have a problem because we are leaving Iraq alone and unable to support themselves leaving them susceptible and some say it could end in a genocide. But i believe if we have a well thought out and organized plan to take troops out slowly and carefully we could make it work. I believe that Obama has this well thought out plan.
TAXES
McCain wants to make Bush's tax cuts permanent. This give people earning $250,000 a year a cut on their taxes
Obama wants to let the tax cuts expire as scheduled
What is the point of giving people earning this much money a break on their taxes? They have enough money so why do they not have to pay to government the same proportion as everyone else? There is absolutely no reason for them to pay less. It would actually make more sense for them to pay more. If they have enough money they should be able to help out their country. I would feel the same way if i made $250,000 a year.
Compare and contrast
Everyone should do their own research and find out things about the people who may run our country. Also anyone who is eligible should get out and vote tomorrow!
