Obama vs. Clinton


I just don't know yet who I will vote for this year. What I do know in my bones is that who I vote for wont really matter much. Ok, I'm putting on one of my favorite hats right now: Conspiracy Theorist. I think there are a group of people worldwide who make all the decisions in relation to who is in power in each of the major countries in the world including the U.S. So, I vote so that I can write or gather with groups of people and voice my opinion in relation to politics. Now, that I've gotten that out of the way....Well, again, I think they are no different than most politicians in that they will lie to gain power, use propoganda to persuade the masses, use different tools to figure out what to say to what group of people to garner votes, etc, etc. So, I think I will search my self and try to determine for myself whether or not I and my unit would benefit more from having a black president or a woman president. Ok, Ok, I'm definitely not that simple nor am I that silly. Seriously though, let's quickly talk about my issues. Neither of these candidates supports same-sex marriage, they don't support a ban on it, and they do support civil unions. Whatever... On immigration they have the same views: give immigrants a legal path to citizenship, improve border security, improve enforcement of existing laws. Personally, I just feel like if I have to pay taxes, all of them should have to pay as well, period. On health care: Hillary's plan covers a bit more ground than Obama's plan. I understand that taxes in Canada are vast, howsumever ("however" for those ebonically challenged), I just beleive that everyone should have the right to be well taken care of should they need medical care of any kind, especially if the illness is life threatening. Barack wants to bring the troops home asap, I think Hillary does too if I can read in between the rhetoric; Barack has a leg up that he never voted to send them in the first place unlike Hillary. They both support abortion rights. I agree moreso with Obama's views on taxes than Hillary's. I gathered this information regarding the candidates views on different topics at: http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/issues/issues.abortion.html . Ahh Hell, I think I'll vote for Mickey Mouse or Stephen Colbert if their names are on the ballot....
