Does anyone else notice that Y!A is very similar to Palin's speech?

Question

Instead of people legitimately voicing their opinions as to why they are voting for McCain and how he is going to better this country, all they can do is bash Obama and those of us voting for him.

Answer 1

I had the same impression.

Answer 2

Sorry for talking about your god.  Obama sucks and I guess you will follow his cult.  Don't put your trust in him.

Answer 3

well i respond by saying this.  I've voiced my concern for a Obama presidency, and get called a racist.  I wonder if he is qualified and get called a racist.  I am concerned with his affialiation with a domestic terrorist, racist pastor, and fund raiser now serving time and i get called a racist.  Palin made great points.  If you didn't see that, you either are totally in the obama camp (which is your right) or you weren't listening.

Answer 4

I am voting for McCain because his energy policy make economic and political sense.  

I am voting for McCain because he is pro-life.

I am voting for McCain because he believes that the g*y issue should be handled by the states.  Small federal government.

I am voting for McCain because he will help lower taxes.

I am voting for McCain because he has experience in foreign policies.

I am voting for McCain because he picked a conservative VP.  

Answer 5

Someone has to point out Obama's flaws. You know the biased media never will.

Answer 6

I did notice that there is a similarity between Palin and Y!A. It was that people with experience give the best answers both in life and in Y!A. It is amazing to me that people who answer question and have no experience on the subject there are responding to. Look at the amount of answers that are "I don't know" or :I hope not" or "I think so". People with the real life experience give better answers because they have lived the answers they give.

How many old white guys have every had to face the "Should I get an abortion?: question. None.

It is one thing to have an opinion and never have to stand by it in real life, it is a completely different thing to have to stand by your convictions when you know the going is going to be tough

Answer 7

That's what happen when people live in denial.

Obama/Biden 08!!

Answer 8

You are right.  The woman is a hypocrite.

Answer 9

I think I have seen more Mccain and Palin bashing than Obama bashing.......therefor whats good for the goose is good for the gander.

Answer 10

Someone has to Bash him all the TV Networks never do

Answer 11

Can you seriously say that with a straight face?

There has been plenty of bashing on both sides of isle.

Answer 12

That's because they know Palin is a gimmick and it's only a matter of time before the "sexist media" exposes it.

Last nights speech was like a movie whose climax comes too early. She gave a good speech, now what? The audience is gone, and the media exposes her for what she is.

It's like Batman beating up the Joker in the first 15 minutes, then for the last hour and a half, watching him sitting at a bar, getting drunk and talking to some chick.

Answer 13

For all the "closet racists" in America, it gives them a seemingly 'legit' avenue to express their racist attitudes.  The phrases, "He's an unknown" or "I couldn't vote for a person like him" , or "He's a terrorist because of his middle name is Hussein" are just code words for American racism.  The one good thing that came out of the extended dem. primary, was it showed just how FEW racists there are in America, and where most of them live!

Answer 14

can't take the heat.....get out of the kitchen.

Answer 15

You are so wrong!

Answer 16

It just shows how deep and fundamental the divide between republicans and democrats is becoming. It's been this way ever since the christian conservatives overtook the republican party.

Answer 17

OK, I'll take a shot at legitimately voicing my opinion:

1.  ECONOMY -- McCain's platform is no new taxes for citizens and tax breaks for small business (READ:  Not corporate giants).  Will it work?  It can't hurt.  Tax breaks for small businesses will help them stay in business in a troubled economy, and less taxes mean more disposable income for citizens to spend or invest.  By contrast, Obama plans to raise taxes.  There is a lot of debate as to exactly whose taxes will be raised and whose will be lowered, but a simple study of political science and economics will tell you that no administration has ever taxed the U.S. into prosperity.  Higher taxes (even on the rich only) lead to increased inflation, increased interest rates, and oftentimes recession.  I also have to mention the fact that Obama is pushing the Windfall Profits Tax against oil companies.  President Carter tried that in the '70's and it failed miserably.  It did NOTHING to help the American commuters and resulted in even higher prices at the pump.

2.  ENERGY POLICY -- McCain aims to develop alternative sources of energy while reducing our dependence on foreign oil by developing the resources we have here in the U.S.  He realizes that we can't just shut off the flow of oil overnight, and he's also savvy enough to understand that it'll take more than 10 years to develop and fully implement any alternative fuel source.  Furthermore, he also sees that developing alternative fuel sources for motor vehicles is a good start, but not everyone will be able to afford an alternative fuel vehicle once they're in widespread production.  So he's thinking short-term and long-term.  He knows the oil will run out, and his plan is aimed at weaning us off fossil fuels as opposed to cutting them off completely.

3.  HEALTH CARE -- McCain intends to make the system we have in place more affordable and available to more Americans through stricter regulation of health care and pharmaceutical companies, incentives for businesses that don't provide health care to start providing health care, and cutting red tape with Medicaid and Medicare.  Obama has made it very clear that his ultimate aim is to chuck the current system and start over with universal health care.  For starters, the experts in the U.S. and other countries that have universal health care have determined that it'll cost at least five times more than Obama has projected (some experts say it could cost as much as 12 times as much as he has projected), which will result in even higher taxes, thousands of Americans who work for health care providers would lose their jobs, it would give the Federal Government more power while taking freedom of choice away from private citizens, and it would result in a lower standard of care for everyone.  Remember the uproar about the mold and rats at Walter Reed Medical Center in DC?  That's a perfect example of what universal health care would be like in this country (Walter Reed is a government-run health care facility!)

4.  FOREIGN POLICY -- The Iraq War is a big issue here.  McCain intends to keep the troops in Iraq until they get their infrastructure to the point where it's self-sustaining.  He also intends to keep up the war on terrorism by taking the fight to the terrorists' back yards.  Obama intends to pull the troops out at the earliest possible date and proposes negotiations with the terrorists.  This position shows that Obama truly does not understand our enemy.  You cannot reason with people who believe that the most glorious thing they can do with their lives is blow themselves up while taking out as many white infidels as possible.  Remember, they declared war on us long before we went to Iraq.  They have named us as their enemies, they believe it is their sacred duty to kill us, and they are not afraid to die for their cause -- heck, they believe Allah will reward them if they martyr themselves.  Negotiations with these people will only lead to more innocent Americans getting killed.  I don't like the idea of putting our troops in harm's way, but I would rather have an all-volunteer force out hunting down the terrorists than have them here on U.S. soil flying jets into buildings and killing innocent civilians who are just trying to make a living.

BOTTOM LINE:  There's no guarantee that McCain would make this country better if he were elected.  However, I believe McCain is the better candidate because Obama's plans, which may look and sound good, will ultimately mean disaster for the U.S.  His plan for "change" is really nothing new -- look closely and you'll see that his plans have been tried before (and haven't worked).  I don't believe Obama is a bad man, or "evil," or an anti-American pro-Muslim as some have portrayed him, but I do believe his plan for change is not a good one.  I'm voting for McCain because I'd rather have a chance at a better America instead of an almost certain guarantee that I'll have a lot less money (and possibly a
