In here we can each give our confidential opinions on whether who should have won the election through FFR's polls. This is to give voice to those who believe would have made a fair election within our own community.

If you were underage or believe John McCain/Hilary Clinton should have won, post your thoughts here.

I don't want to risk getting banned, so I am taking this question on here.

Believe it or not, they do notice the money is gone. When we have richer and poorer people, it supports a free economy. They buy the nicer things and those businesses are supported. I understand that, as a lower class income person, I will have a hard time paying things throughout life. But, the idea of "spreading the wealth" is a completely socialist idea. And we have seen in other countries where this has been attempted. It just simply does not work.

But it's not socialism. It's social capitalism. It's demonstrated all throughout our economy.

For example, social security. People who can't afford to support themselves get a helping hand from people can easily offer it.

Obama is not raising taxes on really anyone but the big corporations. If they just payed their taxes like normal, that would easily even out the tax cuts for the lower and middle classes. If they payed say 5% more than what they would be if they even payed their taxes, then that provides us with extra money for a wealthier government, happier people, and better benefits.

We're taxing maybe the top 1% of the wealthy in America, who incidentally have 10% of America's money. It's not at all hurting them to tax a little more.

I don't like the idea of taking more money from one person than another. The reason I support Obama's tax policies is because not everyone can afford to pay their taxes, or afford to pay both their taxes and electricity bill. Well, that money has to come from somewhere, right? If you don't make up for those taxes, then firefighters and policemen are risking their lives for what, minimum wage? Just doesn't seem right to me.

By the way, I'm posting this in the thread. It definitely does not constitute for a ban, so I wouldn't worry about it. As long as we keep the debates clean and rational, I don't see a problem :)


Edit: Adraped D:



I am still not risking it.

Also, I see where you are coming from, but you have to understand a little thing called corporate greed. The big companies are not going to just pay the extra 5% out of pocket. They will cut it from the paychecks of people such as lineman and engineers. The working class would still be paying for it in the end.

Also, Social Security is a load of crap. Ask any older person who is trying to retire now. They have paid into social security for YEARS and now they are receiving as little as $300 a month. That doesn't pay bills. Social Security is a waste in my opinion, but I do realize that it is just another fancy way of the government taxing us.

Yeah. It's all bull****. I think if we can improve the country enough, we'll start cracking down on the little issues that affect American workers. That's why I personally like Obama better. He seems more interested in restoring our economy not only to what it was before Bush, but better and better.

@HK_pjpaveloffga: No, I am totally for Obama. The reason I used McCain and Hilary becase they had greater roles for this election and were given more publication than the other candidates.

@Devonin: True. But this would be more of an opinion matter so we're not going to entirely base this on politics. I decided to put up those three because they were of the most spoken elected candidates in the campaign.

@tha Guardians: Very well thought out statement. This is what a post should look like, if not, at least an opinion shared about the elected candidates.

Wait, an argument on whether the decision was fair? It was a valid election in which adult U.S. citizens were allowed to vote. How can there be discussion on whether the result was "fair"? You may disagree with it, but I don't understand how you can call it "unfair". Also, apathy won't fix anything, so hearing "they all suck" makes me laugh. If you're not even willing to participate in the system, don't bother criticizing it. And if you're too young, stop whining and wait your turn as I did.

Holy ****, excuse me for bothering to post again. Every time I do, whether the posts are valid or not, it always turns into a ****storm. Alright, I'm out.

It totally makes sense if you did not wish to vote. Many people out there still believe that the system isn't perfect, and its true.

But it was our choice on what we believe would make a stronger effect on our economy, government, and rights of the diversities and melting pots of this country.

I believe, that is the reason the majority voted for Obama. I think we deserve to discuss the aftermath because by looking at the polls, some strongly felt McCain or Clinton should have taken the title of President. And is the reason why I thread this was to read your opinions.

Also, there is never a reason to not vote. If you choose to support none of the candidates on the ticket, you need to go vote and either spoil your ballot, or mark 'none of these' as a write in. Those votes -are- counted, and if you simply decide to be apathetic and not vote at all, then you're just apathetic, not making an understandable decision.

Do you still not get it?

Guru + Obama Wins = Guru Happy

So that means I dont think it wasn't fair. But seeing as the minimum amount of people clicked McCain or Clinton on that poll means that there are people out there who believe still the election should have gone another way. This is to invite those who feel like they "lost" the campaign and discuss the outcome in a very educate manner by simply jotting down opinions on these candidates, because we already know Obama won.

You do know that pretty much every voter ever just votes for one meaningless purpose, right?

Some people voted for Obama because he's black.
Some people voted for McCain because he's not black.
Some people voted for Obama because he's not running with Palin.
Some people voted for McCain because he's running with Palin.

Some people voted for Obama/McCain because they saw a sign on the side of the road with their name on it.
Some people voted for Obama/McCain because they believe the ads they saw while watching football.

I guarantee you maybe 1% of the voters actually understood or care about the issues the candidates talk about. This is America, man. We don't have the time for a real election. We settle for this.

If you were to make people take a quiz before voting with simple questions about the candidates' policies, you would have very few votes actually counted.

I agree with his plan to raise taxes for the people who earn $250,000 or more a year, while we gives a tax break to everyone else who falls below that line.

Obama and I both want to get our troops out of Iraq really soon, but by doing it rationally.

We are both pro-choice.

I'm not trying to argue with you rzr, I'm just answering your questions and clarifying myself.

I agree with his plan to raise taxes for the people who earn $250,000 or more a year, while we gives a tax break to everyone else who falls below that line.

Obama and I both want to get our troops out of Iraq really soon, but by doing it rationally.

We are both pro-choice.

I'm not trying to argue with you rzr, I'm just answering your questions and clarifying myself. Basically, I always knew that I wanted to vote, and I wanted to do it with as much of an informed decision as possible. So I watch the news, debates, and search the internet for information on every candidate so that I can make my decision and tell others why I chose him.

This isn't an argument, it's a debate. More hostility would be presented in an argument. I'm simply picking you out because I don't like you, and you know why.

Now, to the actual discussion:

Everyone knows a Democrat is a financially more strategic choice than a Republican, any day. His tax plans are on mark. If he follows through with them, and Congress allows him to, we have a much better footing on our economy. However, everyone wants the damn troops out. I have two cousins in the hospital and one dead from being in Iraq. However, there's factors to look at other than just not liking war. If we pull out abruptly their unstable government could crumble, America could be attacked, the options are endless. We need to stay in Iraq until at least they have a secure government holding the country together. My point is, saying that's the policy you agree with is kind of stupid. Everyone wants the troops out, the sooner the better.

Squeek, I know. Which sucks because, and this is kind of ironic, it's the children that are actually the ones being educatated on the subject, who can't vote. If I thought it had chance in hell of meaning something I'd propose some ideas.

That literally shows everywhere I go at school. Also, my parents are one of those people...

Here's their excuse for voting for McCain:

He's Republican.


I know, It's dumb... I would vote for someone that would best fit as president.

Is it not entirely possible that they thought a Republican would be someone best fit for president? I mean, I personally disagree. A Republican is the last thing we need. But, you're making it seem like your parent's are completely ignorant for making a decision you didn't agree with. Who did/would you vote for? Why? Until you back up your claims of why it's "stupid" to vote for someone for being a Republican, your points remains invalid. I am actually really interested in hearing your views.

I had a cousin go over to Iraq too. Thank God he wasn't seriously injured (except being gored in the leg by a bull, but thats a different story). I know that pulling out too soon could be disasterous. That's why I said that we had to do it rationally.


P.S rzr, if you would like to have a peaceful converastion about what happened, I'm ready when you are.

To be honest, I think non-voters have it easier cause if someone f*cks up then they know their not responsible.

You should have put Mitt Romney on there.

Like I said, I only included those three because they were the candidates most spoken of through campaigns and other media such as CNN, and other broadcast news that concerns political debates, such as electoral votes.

You could have at least put an other in. I mean, I still haven't voted on that poll, and I'm floating around this thread a lot. It's too limited.

Ah, devonin! I see you have taken care of the problem. Kudos n.n

So McCain insulted the media and mocked the reporters about the election between him and Obama, sad but true....

Does McCain forget his goals? Lets see...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvJqBEwXklE

@tha Guardians: Very well thought out statement. This is what a post should look like, if not, at least an opinion shared about the elected candidates.

I win cookie, yes? :3

i hope some of you realize..most people probably (dont take it in an "absolute" way) voted for Barack because hes black. No, i'am not saying im agaisnt him. No, i'am not saying im racist (never). Im not into the whole voting issue stuff because well, im under age -_-.

At school im already hearing rumors of another (maybe) "Martin Luther King shooting" going to happen. To me thats just taking this a little to far =\.

By the way, even though an African American is in office now, DOENT MEAN other African Americans get special benefits. Thats also something i heard someone say at my school-eth. Lets hope some people out there know that already.


But at the same time many people didn't vote for him simply because he's "black" or "Muslim" or a "terrorist". When it comes down to it, those votes probably even out, giving Obama a fair chance. I believe he won the election because of his ability to speak to the people.


i doubt the margin of people who voted for obama strictly because he is black anywhere near outweighs the projected 7% of voters who feel they simply cannot vote for a black candidate. in the week preceding the election i got a series of pamplets entitled "The Real Negro Problem" warning of the black takeover that would come with an African-American president.

also i get the feeling that some of the people who say they supported ron paul are actually serious lmao and if that's true
kill yaself


Umm. I know one black person that didn't want Obama in president because Obama "likes fags". Every other black person I know wanted Obama in office. At least 90% of them wanted Obama because he's black. Then again most of those people are idiot teenagers who also happen to hate krakas.
