What's your take on the political stands and who are you voting for?
I'm going for Obama, but i still don't like the fact that he's taxing the wealthy more just because were in a resection.
On the other hand with the minimum wage he wants to make it $2.15 more from like 5 something to 7 something.
Your turn! :idea:
It isn't Obama's idea the law (Fair Labor Standards Act) was passed over a year ago. The current minimum wage in America is roughly $6.55 as of july of 2008. Then on July 24 2009 minimum wage will be 7.25.

I'm not voting for McCain because I don't like his less than conservative ideas such as cap & trade and various other ideas that make him a 'weak' republican.
I also will not vote for Obama because of his tax policies, entitlement programs which all boarder on socialism. He intends to regulate the profits for drug companies, health insurers, and energy firms. He wants to establish a mortgage-interest tax credit. He wants to double the number of workers receiving the earned income tax credit, the EITC, and triple the EITC benefit for minimum-wage workers. The Obama is now up around $800 billion for spending. The tax hikes that he plans on the rich won’t happen. It’s the middle class that will ultimately shoulder this fiscal burden in terms of higher taxes and lower growth. I can could go on but, I've made my point.
I'm voting for Bob Barr the candidate for the Libertarian party. I believe the only real way to bring about change is to bring another party into the system. Every year Democrats and Republicans tell us they will lower taxes, cut spending,etc,etc,etc and yet every year nothing happens except more spending, bigger government and higher taxes. This is my idea of real change.
Edit: when people sell shit like this

you wonder why I dislike the guy. I'm not even religious and this pisses me off. I can only wonder how the hardcore Jesus fans are reacting.
