So I watched the final round of debates last night, even though I originally planned to skip out.

They were actually pretty good.

In terms of being well spoken, Obama did the better job, though I often disagreed with a number of his points. McCain, well, he had a lot of good points, but the problem was he didnapos;t word them properly. Firstly, God dammit, stop talking about Joe the Plumber. I got what you meant, now stop beating it to death. Second, BAD choice saying "pro-abortionists" when discussing Roe v. Wade.

I was glad to see that both Obama and McCain were more ready to throw down this time, and when you actually listened to McCainapos;s message he did have a lot of good points. But that means actually thinking about the meaning to his words, and Iapos;ve been around both Liberals and Conservatives enough to know that people donapos;t. They want things to be spelled out for them, and the only thing spelled out was Joe the Plumber.

McCain really did need to tackle Obamaapos;s idea of "spreading the wealth", but in a much better manner. Begin with how you supposedly start small, build up your own business, and when you finally become a success the government comes in and says "Congratulations, as a reward for your hard work weapos;re going to give your money to people that put less effort into their daily lives". BAM Thatapos;s the way to put it, and thatapos;s how even Blue Collar Bob can understand it. When people think of the rich, they think of people like Donald Trump. McCain needs to give a realistic image that it can be you a few years from now whose hard work is rewarded by your money being given to people that didnapos;t have the willpower or smarts to get where you are.

McCain also started well with Roe vs. Wade by mentioning that it was all about power of the states, but he then began talking about he himself being a pro-lifer, and exclaimed "pro-abortionists", which just sounds negative and is going to turn anyone that is pro-choice off. He had good reasons for wanting to overturn Roe v. Wade, but his wording ended up dragging the focus outside of where it needed to be.

As for education, Iapos;m not sure either of them can really do this country well. I did find some humor when Obama said "every young person that wants to go to College should be able to go". Instantly my mind went to Bioshock, where the utopia of Rapture was open for the rich, and where "anyoneapos;s dreams can come true". Problem is, someone still needs to clean the toilets, and in a utopia of only upper class, all of a sudden you get a lower and middle class, and people discover they were happier on the surface. Same thing can happen with College. Too many people going, and no oneapos;s getting jobs. "Oh, but companies are putting jobs over seas, and thatapos;s why Obama is trying to punish companies that hand the jobs to other countries". Too bad those jobs donapos;t require a College education, hence their going over seas.

It was a good debate, and I continue to favor McCain. Unfortunately, because of Obamaapos;s charisma, I believe heapos;ll win. Not because heapos;s the better one for the job, or because heapos;s got great ideas, or anything like that. Letapos;s face it, people want Obama to win simply because heapos;s black, young and a well spoken democrat. Thatapos;s where the tragedy of this election lies. Itapos;s just like all this environmentalism crap. I have no problem with people trying to figure out better energy sources and all that, I just wish it was for the right reasons.


In other news, after a talk with Aubrey last night, I came to a realization that I should have no political opinion on abortion. Personally, I am pro-life, and I very much feel it is right to be pro-life. However, the vast majority of my reasons for being pro-life are emotion based, and therefore have no place in politics. So, while I have no problem telling people why I personally am pro-life, I will not get into a political debate.

I still believe calling it an issue of womenapos;s rights is over-simplification and absolute bunk, though.
