Can you name one positive thing to say about the candidate that you *don't* support, if he gets elected?

Question

Please stay on topic, and think a little bit harder if you can't find *anything* positive to say. ;) Maybe keep sarcasm to a minimum. Thanks in advance for the answers.

Answer 1

Well, I like Sen McCain's position on doing away with school zones and allowing the parents to enroll their child in the school that they feel is better for their child, without having to fight the superintendent in their county.  Most schools (unless they are private) have your child attending only the schools within the "zone" that you live in.  I personally felt the sting of this when we had to move to another part of the city, and my child was forced to go to a more substandard (in my opinion) school, because we moved out of the "zone".  Great idea on Sen McCains part.

Answer 2

I'm for McCain and I can say that Obama loves power. I don't know if that's a positive but I can respect it.

Answer 3

Yes, just because i disagree with john McCain on just about everything, doesn't mean I don't respect his as a man. He volunteered to serve our country in the military and today he is trying to help our country, he's just going about it the wrong way.

Answer 4

I did find it admirable that he (Obama) publicly asked for the smears about Palins daughter to stop.

Answer 5

He's tried (thus far) not to sling mud in the direction of the other campaign and tried to keep it to policy issues, not personal ones.

ANd he has a pretty wife.

Answer 6

nope.............I tried , I really did, but no way can I answer this question . AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGG  .......now my head hurts....thnx alot

Answer 7

I admire what he did when he was in the POW camp. That's a great story and it shows what courage and companionship truly is.

Answer 8

I am undecided because they both have wonderful points.   I am a lifelong Republican so I will probably go with McCain/Palin.

That said - Obama is a charismatic exceptional speaker who has a lot of class and elogance.  He brings joy and hope to the office.  He has a lot of wonderful ideas.  Joe Biden brings experience and power.

At first I was shocked about Palin but as I read more and listen intently - - -  she seems to be quite a sharp quick thinking independent free spirited person.  She seems to be a mover and a worker.  McCain is a solid US citizen with great love for our country.

God Bless America!  The best country in the world.

Answer 9

I think hes too old to be part of a s*x scandal.

Answer 10

Good question, I think this is something everyone needs to ask themselves to keep their emotions in check.

Obama:  Has good intentions and is a change from the administration now.

            Wants to develop ethanol as an alternative energy source.

            "Open" to the idea of drilling.

             May adopt more conservative policies once his learning

              curve kicks in and he becomes more of a centrist.

            

              

Answer 11

i am for obama.

two positive things about mccain are:

he was a brave prisinor of war so he respects our country,

and he's not bush.

but still

Obama 08

Answer 12

Obama: He will work to reform and promote higher education.

McCain: He won't tax us to death.  

I really don't care that much for either of them overall, so I picked both.

Answer 13

He's not actually a Republican

(or so he says, at least)  

Answer 14

I support Obama, and I believe McCain has good intentions for America.

Answer 15

He's not Fred Thompson.

Answer 16

I am only voting McCain because Obama is so lacking in experience, but he does have nice white teeth to grin out of.

Answer 17

Yea, i will be in a country with a better leader..

GO OBAMA!!!!!

Answer 18

He can read telepromter well?

Answer 19

Sure.  I think Obama is an intelligent, optimistic man who honestly wants what is best for the country.  I also think he is reasonable and has respect for the other members of government from all parties.  I don't see him as some malicious anti-christ that some people, for whatever reason, do.  I'm just not going to vote for him.  I don't think he's a bad guy...I think he is just naive and inexperience.  Also, obviously, as a conservative, I am clearly opposed to the majority of his stances on various issues.  I'm sure he's a good guy...it's not personal...it's politics.

Answer 20

Ummm...

he wear nice ties...usually

Answer 21

I was taught a long time ago to never show my hand when politics are involved, so I'll keep the person I am voting for to myself (thank my 5th grade teacher for that). I'll say something positive about both men.

McCain: as an Army veteran I have a huge soft spot for WWII and Vietnam vets/POW MIA's. His military service is impeccable and he has proven that he can cross party lines and help get bills passed in Congress. He is one of few politicians that you can't put a label on and that is a huge plus IMO.

Obama: Super intelligent and to be honest he has run one of the most intelligent campaigns in my recent memory. That Jeremiah Wright thing would have killed most candidates, but he fought through it and finds himself in this position now. I'm not turned off by his inexperience (didn't stop Bush from being nominated and elected) .

I am such a cynic when it comes to politicians at my age. When I go to the polls it's like picking poison.

Cyanide or Arsenic. I'll take the cyanide...a quick and painless death.

Answer 22

No.

Answer 23

I can't stand Obama but he is clearly brilliant in his ability to inspire people.  When he gives a speech I find my optimism growing despite the fact I know what he has just said is nonsense.  

Answer 24

McCain is a seasoned politician.  I probably would have voted for him if he had chosen a different VP.  I also like his wife (even if she is a rich blond).

Answer 25

He actually looks nice for a seventy two year old.
