    Presidential Candidates

    Before I start typing this thread...

    This is just a question, not my veiw of any of the candidates for the presidential election. To speak the truth, I really don't have a view of any of the presidents.

    The subject came up in my lunch shift at my table about the presidential election. Of course, with that, a couple of my friends were like "I HOPE HILLARY CLINTON DOESN'T BECOME PRESIDENT I WOULD JUST DIE". I asked them why, and my friend thought for a bit. He came up with the answer "Well... She has dagger eyes and she tries to avoid any and all questions asked to her and she always puts on a fake smile." I told him those weren't real reasons, and he just said 'whatever.'

    I just wonder why so many people (at my school, anyways) have such a strong hatred toward Hillary. There are a few reasons why I think that seventh graders in my school hate Hillary Clinton, or any other presidents for that matter. --They are: 1. They hear their parents talking about them. 2. They go by what they see on TV, and I'm sure they only saw bits and pieces of political matters on TV, and only listened to small parts of those bits. 3. They go by what they hear from everyone else.-- I actually hate it when my friends bring up politics in a conversation. I always want to tell them: "Hey, there is a lot at stake in this election. Maybe Barack will end up making foolish decisions in office? Who knows? Maybe Hillary is the right choice? Just because you hear about a certain candidate's popularity, that doesn't mean you go with everyone else. When you are old enough to vote, you need to vote responsibly. You should actually watch the debates, not just the talk shows following the debates." I'm not saying that Hillary is the right choice, or Barack will make foolish decisions, I'm just talking hypothetically.

    Please, voice your opinion about the different candidates. As you might have read or remembered from above, I don't have a true view or side in this election. But please, use real, political reasons to support your view. No using 'dagger eyes' or 'black' as reasons. Or any of that sort.


    Is this in the right section?

    Re: Presidential Candidates

    Personally, I don't care for any of the Candidates. None of them have very desirable personalities and they don't seem like trust-worthy people. I don't agree with Obama's plan for pulling out of Iraq. You can't pull out of a country you've been occupying for so long that quickly and expect everything to be peachy. Both the French and United States occupations in Vietnam taught politicians nothing. It's a disaster waiting to happen. Clinton on the otherhand flip-flops a bit too much. Although, i'd rather have her than Obama..She has at least some experience. I'm not really happy with McCain's decisions over the border and interrogation issues. Besides that, he seems alright. The other's, I haven't looked into enough..But yeah. That's where i'd stand. I'd rather have someone entirely different. A non-politician type. Someone who understands the needs of the people. That's just wishful thinking.

      Especially since using the latter can easily be seen as racism which is rather heavily bannable.
