I voted for Obama mainly because I thought that McCain would continue the assault on our environment that we have seen in the past 8 years of the Bush administration. I don't give a crap if anyone believes in global warming or not. It is fact that petroleum poisons our environment in every stage of it's extraction, refining, and consumption. Even if our emissions are not causing global warming ( which the general scientific consensus says it is) fossil fuels are still killing our planet. drilling for more is not the answer. And STFU about abortion, a woman has the right to her own body. I will concede on late term abortions however after 6 months a fetus could potentially survive if ripped from the womb, if you're going to abort chances are you would do it withing the first 3 months anyway. If you want to force women to carry out unwanted pregnancies be prepared for a massive influx of criminal activity when those unwanted babies grow up. You are assuming alot.

I am an American so i don't know why people in other countries hate us so much. i do know that China hates us partially because of the stimulus bill, though. If i lived in a different country, i wouldn't hate America, and if i did it wouldnt be because we are the best or because our armies are where they need to be. it would be because our values have changed. for instance we are spending so much money on the environment, entertainment, so called "stimulus", animal protection, stem cell research, abortion, and other things rather than helping other people.<br><br>6.

1. We can't leave Iraq before our job is done and expect that everything will be fine, and that they won't follow us home

2. I can't think of anything to say here

3. well, i think that there is global warming, but i don't think it is our fault, and i think that the government is trying to use this to scare us into changing our lives by buying things that are supposed to help the environment, the world is always changing and there is nothing we can do to stop it's natural ups and downs, nature changes the temperature on its own more than we do, global warming is a scam to make the government money.

4. Oil is useful, there is plenty of oil left, and on our own land too. liberals are trying to save the precious animals by telling us we cant drill in certain places.

5. I am an American so i don't know why people in other countries hate us so much. i do know that China hates us partially because of the stimulus bill, though. If i lived in a different country, i wouldn't hate America, and if i did it wouldnt be because we are the best or because our armies are where they need to be. it would be because our values have changed. for instance we are spending so much money on the environment, entertainment, so called “stimulus”, animal protection, stem cell research, abortion, and other things rather than helping other people.

6. I don't understand how this is relavent.

7. I don't know where or how Obama and Mccain got the money they did, but so far w/Obama we spent over a trillion dollars of borrowed money on a bill that most of Congress did not even read

8. I believe the Correct term is Socialism

1. I do not see how this is important

2. this is really important, they cannot take away our right to bear arms, it is unconstitutional, but that hasn't stopped the government on other things

Also i must comment, why did you keep using the same words: ignorant, Misinformed, etc.? I am sorry this is very late, but i must also add that George Bush had a higher approval rating 2 months into his presidency then Obama has now
