John McCain was born August 29, 1936 to John S. McCain Jr. and Roberta (Wright) McCain. Both his father and his grandfather were US Navy admirals. After moving around a great deal throughout his school years he attended the US Naval Academy at Annapolis. In 1965 McCain married Carol Shepp, a model from Philadelphia. McCain has a long history of working his way up through the US Military, including many near-death experiences trying to save fellow soldiers. On October 26, 1967, McCain was on his 23rd bombing expedition over North Vietnam when a missile struck his plane. He had to eject from his plane and fell unconscious. He was taken captive and denied medical treatment as he refused to inform them of the opposition’s plans for attack. Both of his arms and his right knee were broken. At one point he was facing certain death and was given medical treatment when his captors learned the identity of his father, a strong admiral. The treatment was lousy and they pressed him for military information, which he falsely supplied. During his captivity there was a time when he was placed in casts and put into a clean room with a bed, this was for an interview. He was told repeatedly to lie about the camp and his captors which he would not. After the interview he was told that his job was unsatisfactory and he was moved back to his previous arrangement. He was kept in captivity for 5 ½ years before he was finally released. He had to undergo many surgeries to get his arms back in working order, today he still can’t use them to full capacity
In 1979 he met Cindy Lou Hensley, a teacher from Phoenix. He and his wife divorced a year later and only about a month after he and Cindy married. His two eldest sons, Doug and Andy, were adopted by McCain when he was with Carol Shepp. He also had a daughter with Carol named Sidney. John and Cindy had three children, Meghan, Jimmy, and Jack. They also adopted a daughter, Bridget, from Bangladesh. He retired from the Navy in 1981 and began in politics. He is currently a US Senator with his son Jimmy in the US Navy.

Sarh Louise Heath Palin
Sarah Palin was born on February 11, 1964 in Sandpoint, Idaho as the third of four children. Palin loved to hunt moose and run with her family. Sarah Palin went to Wasilla High School and was the captain of the girl’s basketball team. She was also the head of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and was given the nickname “Sarah Barracuda” for her quick reflexes and severe intensity. In 1982, she began at Hawaii Pacific College, staying for one semester before transferring to North Idaho College in 1983 and then to the University of Idaho. Afterward she went to Matanuska- Susitna College in Alaska. She received a Bachelor of Science degree in communications- journalism at the University of Idaho. She was in the graduating class at UOI in 1987. Palin won the Miss Wasilla Pageant in 1984. Afterward she went on to state competition where she ranked third in the whole state. She was elected Miss Congeniality of the Alaska pageant.
After college Miss Palin started as a sports reporter for CNN. In 1992 Sarah Palin ran for City Council of Wasilla. She beat John Hartick in 1992 530-310. In 1995 she ran against R’Nita Rogers and won 413- 185. After she served on the city council Sarah ran for mayor, winning for the next two terms (96-02). At the age of 42, Palin became the first female and youngest governor ever of Alaska. Miss Palin made kept all of her promises to make major budget cuts and cut way down on all of the allotted areas where money was focused. On top of that she sacrificed the governor’s plane to save money putting it on eBay! Throughout her political experiences, Palin has had 5 children. She has 2 sons, Track (1989) and Trig (2008). She also has 3 daughters, Bristol (1990), Willow (1995), and Piper (2001). Against high statistics, Palin kept her son Trig, even though he was diagnosed with Down syndrome before birth. Her son Track was enlisted in the US Army on September 11, 2007 leaving to go to Iraq for a year on September 18, 2008.

Barack Hussein Obama
Obama was born August 4, 1961 to Barack Obama Sr. and Ann Dunham in Honolulu, Hawaii. His parents divorced when he was two years old. Afterward his mother remarried and they resettled in Indonesia until he was 10. He later returned to Hawaii to live with his grandparents. In the book Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality, Jerome Corsi describes how Obama “…did his best to fit in socially, while struggling to make modest grades.” In his biography Obama describes his “hazy” memory of high school, filled with drug abuse and severe alcohol consumption. This begs the question of how someone who struggled with school and was considered a procrastinator made it into the Harvard law program. Obama also earned a degree at Columbia University in 1983. In his biographies he refers to his drug use as “a search for identity”. He connects his race with inexcusable behaviors? Yet in interviews with a friend from high school named Keith Kakugawa (identified in his biography as “Ray”) he says “Barry’s biggest struggles were with his feelings of abandonment. The idea that his biggest struggle was race is (bull).” So why would he lie about his struggles and background in high school? Is he trying to gain racial sympathy?
After he earned a degree in law Obama began his practice as a civil rights lawyer and then went on to teach constitutional law. In 2004 he was elected into the US senate. Obama met his wife, Michelle, in 1989 while employed in a small Chicago law firm. After they were married they had two children Malia and Natasha. One of the highlights of Obama’s platform is finding alternate sources of fuel for our country and of course “change” for our country as he is critically opposed to all things George Bush.

Joe Biden
Joseph Robinette Biden Jr.
Joe Biden was born November 20, 1942 in Scranton, PA as the first of four children. He lived there for 10 years before moving to Delaware. He graduated from Syracuse University in 1968, and then moved to Wilmington to set up his own firm. He was later elected to city council in 1970. In 1972 he was elected onto the senate after unseating a member and has already served 5-6 year terms. Directly after his first election into the senate his wife and daughter were killed in a car accident. He was remarried in 1977 to a teacher named Jill Jacobs. He has three children Beau, Hunter, and Ashley. In 1988, Biden nearly succumbed to a cranial aneurysm, but recovered after two surgeries.
He has great knowledge of foreign policies; one of the key factors in Obama’s choosing him as his VP. Biden’s main concerns lie in terrorism, drug policy, and many issues that matter a great deal to women. He has taken unusually high precautions against felons and has increased the amount of policemen on the streets by over 100,000! He also helped introduce the senate to the idea of global warming. Plus he has worked on trying to bring more members into NATO and tried unsuccessfully to ban budget cuts to the military while the country is at war. Overall, Biden has many successful achievements and was most likely the best choice for Obama’s VP.

10 Political Issues
#1- Abortion- John McCain is pro-life. Abortion is killing innocent babies that haven’t even had a chance at life yet. Millions of families want to adopt new born babies and raise them in a loving environment. Do we have any idea what this child could do or could be capable of? Who are we to decide if an innocent child should live or die? We are not God. Abortion is wrong. Barack Obama is pro-choice, excuse me, pro-death.
#2- Education-John McCain wants to make the standards of achievement higher. He doesn’t want people to be able to accept lower standards for certain children, he wants all to have the same levels of excellence. He doesn’t want the differences in Public and Private schools to make a difference in the educations of children. He believes that all should have the same opportunities. Obama basically has the same beliefs of wanting children to have equal opportunities no matter where you go to school or what your life is like.
#3- Death Penalty- John McCain supports the death penalty. Some people say “Throw them in a cell for the rest of their lives!” But what happens if that person escapes? Will they become good, law abiding citizens? Or will they do more harm? The answer is pretty obvious. Barack Obama wants to eliminate the death penalty and wants to “reform the death penalty by ‘listening and compromising.’”
#4- Environment -Many of parts of this issue are agreed upon between parties. Both want to preserve wildlife habitats and both want to create alternate sources of clean energy. They differ in the area of how much money they want to put into this. Barack Obama wants to put 100 billion dollars into theses alternate sources, which could take up to 10 years to develop. McCain wants to drill offshore, which is a solution NOW and find these alternate sources with extra money out of a carefully planned budget.
#5- Health care - Is there such a thing as “free healthcare”? If our government decides to give free healthcare to everybody, where are they going to get the money? Taxes, which will have to sky rocket for them to pay for it. Healthcare covers everything from an infected toenail to open heart surgery. Which means if my neighbor decides his tummy aches then who will be paying for the visit to the doctor? The tax payers. Which are who? Everyone around him. Is that fair? The answer is no. John McCain is opposing the man who wants to put this ridiculous idea into action.
#6- Immigration- John McCain believes that immigrants should come here only legally. He wants to increase border control so that people are not reaping the benefits (or messing around with them) illegally. Especially in the case that they are hurting this country by committing crimes, or causing people harm. Barack Obama believes that we should give immigrants amnesty! We should “open more paths for them to become citizens.” He doesn’t want to deport them if they come here illegally, but wants to help them??????
#7- Iraq War- John McCain thinks the Iraq War is a good decision by our president. Nobody necessarily likes the war, but have we had a single attack on our country since 9/11? No. He believes that the top priority of this country should be to keep our citizens safe, and that’s what’s happening now. He was in a war and who knows better how to treat our soldiers than a retired war hero. Barack Obama wants to stop the war and bring the soldiers home after all that they have been through, and have so many deaths IN VAIN.
#8- Economy-Wants to stop the war in Iraq and wants to cut taxes for 90% of Americans. [Wow, isn’t he generous? Oh, yeah—35% of Americans DONT PAY TAXES!]. John McCain wants to give us energy independence and give tax cuts to those who pay taxes. Wants to cut unnecessary government spending and has noted that Obama’s program will cost 286 BILLION dollars.
#9- Poverty-John McCain wants to continue welfare support but for less of a percentage of Americans. He is also going to require 40 hours a week of work from those receiving welfare. He also wants to give help for people who need housing, and tax breaks to the homeless. Barack Obama does not want to require ANY work from those receiving welfare and wants to INCREASE the percentage of those receiving it.
#10-Stem Cell Research-John McCain is against embryonic stem cell research. It is wrong, and just as bad as abortion, to take a developing baby out of a woman to do research on. All of this goes back to the idea that people can decide who should live and die. Who is to say that other than God??? But what people are trying to say is that man decides what is right and wrong and that there is NO God! The constitution is based around the premise that there is an ABSOLUTE right and wrong and that no one can decide what is and isn’t but GOD. So who exactly, but God, can decide who can live and die? Why was that baby put into that woman but to live on Earth and fulfill its purpose? That baby cannot speak for itself and NO ONE has the right to say that the baby should die for research! End of story. But Barack Obama believes in doing embryonic stem cell research!!! Just like he believes in abortion! HOW CAN PEOPLE VOTE FOR HIM??????

Resolutions to Science Issues
The following are my beliefs and what I believe to be the resolutions:
Offshore Drilling: Do it. Drill offshore, stop letting those other countries stick it to us. Get a long lasting solution NOW, rather than wasting 100 billion dollars on alternate fuel sources. It's time. Gas prices are high when they culd be low. We can't wait for these "alternate fuel sources" that will be twice as expensive to be developed.
NuclearWeapons: No. We neither need them or should have any desire to use them. Though this may seem hypocritical to the previous statement, it makes sense to have them on stand by, for real emergencies. Other than that I don't think we need them to be of regular use.
Global Warming: I am still a firm believer that this so called "Global Warming" is a myth. Sorry--well, actually, I'm not...I believe that global warming is a natural process that we are energizing and makin go more rapidly. The answer:Control th number of pollutants you release. This does not mean hairspray or other HARMLESS things.

Offshore Drilling
What is one of the biggest issues effecting main street citizens today? If you guessed the soaring cost of oil you are correct. Plain and simple: the country providing our gas hates America, as do many other countries. They hate our freedoms, our ideas and all that we stand for. But what can they do about it? Attack us with bombs and military? Absolutely not, because we are ten times as powerful as them. So they have taken the one thing that we rely on them for. The weakness of the United States and that is our ultimate reliance on oil. They’ve jacked up the prices, which we can do nothing about. BUT, what we CAN do is stop relying on them for our oil needs, but how?
Our country is committing the main thing that George Washington warned against in his Farewell Address and that’s relying on foreign sources for a necessity of our country. If we can make a way to get our own oil, then gas prices will take a hit and we won’t need all of our gas imported from other countries! And guess what: there is another way, and it’s not wasting billions of dollars on “alternate fuel sources” that could take years to develop! It’s drilling offshore, where there are reserves of oil under the sea. This process (contrary to popular belief) is not harmful to the environment and costs MILLIONS less than “alternate fuel sources”.
Another question: what exactly are average American families supposed to do while these “amazing ‘healthy planet’ environmentally safe” fuel sources are in the development process? Continue paying four bucks a gallon for fuel? We can’t last much longer on these terms. This is what Barack Obama is suggesting: That we continue with what we are doing currently while he “invests” away our tax money towards other fuel when it’s right underneath us!!!!!! Does that make any sense at all?! John McCain’s ideas are much more practical. We drill offshore and in the Alaska reserves and stop relying on these other countries who just want to stick it to us. And then we use money LEFTOVER from a government budgeting system to find cleaner fuel. But that in no way will be a top priority of our country. This is hoe it should be.

Nuclear Weapons
As many people all know nuclear weapons are deadly and not to be taken lightly. A lot of people know about the tragedy of Hiroshima when we dropped an atomic bomb on them. It killed thousands instantly, injured more, and the radiation poisoning took care of the rest. So why remind you of this horrible piece of history? Because without history we are doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past.
After the initial blast of a nuclear weapon or bomb, the contamination process begins. These types of weapons are filled with a lethal chemical called Chernobyl which is part of what killed so many in Hiroshima. Alongside of that, the area around the target immediately heats to tens of millions of degrees Fahrenheit. A while after that cools there is a great amount of electromagnetic radiation, there is not much chance of survival from nuclear bombs.
Surprisingly, the political candidates are in agreement on this issue. Both believe that the world can survive without nuclear weapons. They cause so much damage and could severely injure our country if we were hit with one. Other countries are continuing to develop them though and I believe a common goal is to halt their production as well. If we have other countries dangling their knowledge over us we could wind up at their mercy and we CANNOT afford for that to happen.

If we have other countries dangling their knowledge over us we could wind up at their mercy and we CANNOT afford for that to happen.
Global Warming
The ideas behind global warming are actually pretty simple. Greenhouse gasses capture heat here on Earth and stay there in order to keep the surface warm. After a while more and more unnatural sources for greenhouse gasses were emitted into the atmosphere, so much that it created a thick layer over top of the surface of the Earth. These gasses remain in the atmosphere for more than fifty years so they can obviously be very damaging to our planet. As these gasses build up and sit in the atmosphere, apparently, the temperature of Earth rises. Over the past few centuries, the overall temperature of the Earth has increased one entire degree Fahrenheit. The controversial question facing us is whether or not these ideas are true or if it is a natural heating process?
If in fact the ideas proposed are true, then we are going to face big problems in the oh so near future. First of all, the effects have already become costly. We have dedicated millions of dollars already to support research for alternate fuel sources so as not to do the atmosphere more harm. Also in the long run it has been bad for the economy. People who believe in global warming have stopped buying certain products to “preserve” (or are they just being cheap?) Not to mention, people have taken a hit. We hear that rides in planes, driving a car, or even using HAIRSPRAY are bad for the environment! No one wants to be a planet hater so basically we get screwed over because we feel we shouldn’t use certain products. On top of that fuel efficient products are TWICE as expensive as regular!
The political parties have contradicting and corresponding views on global warming. The conservative party wants to drill offshore and drill in Alaska and stop relying on other countries for our oil. With EXTRA money republicans want to work on alternate sources for fuel. The Democratic Party also wants to halt reliance on other countries. But they are critically opposed to offshore drilling and drilling in Alaska. Part of the liberal platform is investing BILLIONS (with a B) in alternate fuel sources, when the answer is right underneath us (literally). To conclude, I believe the myth must be busted.

The Candidates on Technology
Though John McCain may not be able to use computers to their full advantage because of his disadvantage, he has a lot of opinions on them. He wants to put a permanent ban on state and local taxes for internet access. He also wants to create sights for emergency officials. Plus he wants to create websites that issue awards to government officials. John McCain has been penalized by the people for his lack of knowledge on computers because he can’t use them. His arms were broken and deformed during his time in captivity. But, it’s really not important for the president to use MySpace, when he should be concentrating on keeping our country safe.
But still, John McCain wants to take technology developments to a new level, for both communication purposes and to solve problems facing our country, such as addressing the climate change and better educating children. He is the former chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, and thus knows a lot about the issues affecting the people. John McCain wants to keep the internet free of unnecessary regulations. Isn’t that what most of us want?
On the other hand, Barack Obama wants more restrictions put on the internet, limiting search engines to a minimum. But he, like McCain, wants to use technology for the more pressing issues of our country, which hopefully will provide a solution. He also wants to use it to conduct business in Washington. Seeing how privileged Americans are, he wants to see to it that all of the access to technology that we have is utilized to its full extent. Obama wants to create alternate fuel sources and clean sources of energy for our nation. In the end, the candidates do not have many differing views on this subject.

He is the former chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, and thus knows a lot about the issues affecting the people. John McCain wants to keep the internet free of unnecessary regulations. Isn’t that what most of us want?
On the other hand, Barack Obama wants more restrictions put on the internet, limiting search engines to a minimum. But he, like McCain, wants to use technology for the more pressing issues of our country, which hopefully will provide a solution. He also wants to use it to conduct business in Washington. Seeing how privileged Americans are, he wants to see to it that all of the access to technology that we have is utilized to its full extent. Obama wants to create alternate fuel sources and clean sources of energy for our nation. In the end, the candidates do not have many differing views on this subject.
Cartoon #1
In the eyes of the Democratic Party, Barack Obama can do no wrong. He is nicknamed the Messiah referring to the Bibles description of a religious figure who will lead the world from dark and sins. In this cartoon, it depicts Barack Obama writing the word “potatoe” on a black board. As most people know this is spelled incorrectly. We then see a journalist saying “HOW EMBARASSING! I’VE BEEN MISSPELLING IT ALL THIS TIME!” As we all know this notion is absurd, but is it unlike what people have been saying? According to democratic people BARACK OBAMA IS ALWAYS RIGHT! Is that possible: the answer is no. On top of that, how right exactly has Barack Obama been? He has relations to terrorists, which he denies. He has claimed that he will provide tax cuts to 95% of US citizens, when 35% aren’t paying them anyway! Another question that has arisen is Barack Obama’s critical analysis of Sarah Palin’s daughter Bristol. Barack Obama was born absolutely ILLEGITIMATELY!!!! And his mother married the man, and had the baby and he supported her! So, why is NObama so critically opposed to the decisions made by Palin’s daughter when the same ones were made by his mother! He supports abortion and yet if his mother had done what he wants all women with illegitimate children to do, he wouldn’t be alive!!! So how can people say that Barack Obama is always right when he has obviously made dozens of ridiculous blunders? Why can’t Obama just go visit his 58th state.
Cartoon #2
What exactly is Barack Obama’s relationship to Reverend Jeremiah Wright? During his campaign Obama was accused of having Muslim and terrorist ties. In his own defense he told the public that he has attended The Trinity United Church of Christ for over 20 years. In this cartoon it depicts Wright shouting “KILL WHITEY” and Barack Obama with a paper bag over his head saying “don’t blame me. I’m not really here.” So why would someone with such openness about where he attended church have a paper bag over his head? Well—it’s not that surprising! After his statements were made, there was a flood of information about the racist, anti-America, AWFUL preaching styles of Rev. Wright. When questioned about this—Barack Obama responded saying he had never heard anything racist OR anti-America come out of his mouth. Make no mistake: Barack Obama is a LIAR! Reverend Wright has written books, come out with videos, and been very open about his feelings. Now—Obama has even worse ties before, and as always his first choice is LIE LIKE A DOG!!!!! In conclusion: Should the US be angry? YES! Should the US have alternated opinions of how Barack Obama will lead this country? YES! Should the media buy into his crap and believe what he says? NO! But do they? YES! Because now our media is nothing but biased.
Cartoon #3
A question that has arisen among citizens is: Where the government is getting the 7 billion dollars to bail out these businesses? In this cartoon we see a sign that says “The Amazing Bail-Out!” and a “magician” pulling $7 billion out of a hat. This is actually how the government is acting. Like they have $7 billion to throw around, like it’s no big deal. Ask yourself: Where does the government get most of their money? The taxpayers. And with this bailout they will have to steal money from us through taxes to pay it off. We then see a woman and a man next to one another. The woman says “WOW! That’s incredible! How’d they do that?!” and the man replies “I know haw it’s done…I’m a taxpayer, you can’t fool me!…It’s all done with mirrors!” Then you see a bunny with a fishing pole stealing wallets from people’s pockets. This is how it will have to be done! If we want to live in a free country we have to pay taxes, and the government can charge however much they want. Then again, if we don’t go with the bailout, hundreds of people will lose money and these huge businesses will crash. We have to decide what’s more important. In the end, most people, other than the owners of these businesses, are undecided. It’s a rock and a hard place.
Cartoon #4
A lot has come out about Barack Obama over the past few months. For example this cartoon depicts Obama sitting in front of a desk in what appears to be a job interview. The man is saying: “Do you have any character references that aren’t corrupt Chicago political fixers, loony racist preachers or unrepentant terrorists?” while Obama’s face looks slightly embarrassed. What this is talking about is the awful things that people have discovered that Obama has been involved in. Such as Jeremiah Wright, who’s “church” Obama attended for TWENTY years. Wright is a racist [against whites], anti-America, ant-God, CRAZY PERSON! But when questioned about his attendance and loyalty to this church—AFTER admitting having gone there for 20 years—he claimed he did not know his opinions on all of these topics! Then the cartoon says “…or unrepentant terrorists?” Barack Obama was part of a group that tried to BOMB the pentagon. He claims that that was “in the past” but do we really want somebody this…corrupt as our president? Running our country and making decisions that will affect all of us??????? If we would just stop and THINK we would realize that the answer is absolutely NO!
Cartoon #5
Through out this election there has been a lot of slandering, mudslinging and even name-calling. This cartoon says “The candidates sum up their positions on the issues of pressing concern to Americans…” So what would we expect and want them to say in this situation? We want to hear that they are going to do whatever they can to make sure that this election is a success and we want to hear about how they feel about the final issues that need addressing—and what do we get? “George W. Bush!” and “Karl Marx!” There are two messages portrayed within this. First, each has an important and “negative” political figure they are compared to and will allegedly be no different from. Second, are the reasons for comparing these people to them. First of all Obama is campaigning for change from our current government. His strategy is to say that McCain will be no different from George Bush because he agreed with him on 98% of all the issues. McCain is comparing Obama to Karl Marx who is “credited” as the founder of Communism [look at the entry “Obama: The Next Karl Marx” to find out more]. Both of these are put in negative light. What the candidates should be doing is talking about what they can do to better the country but instead they are bringing down the other candidates.
Cartoon #6
People are so sick of all the election blabbering and all the TV and Radio messages and most are ready for it to be over. This cartoon shows a house surrounded by people asking for votes. It’s on the television, airplane messages, newspapers, the pone, and there are all sorts of fliers through the door. This is basically how it’s been for the past few months. Radio adds, all over TV, and everywhere we look it’s election related. After looking around we see two people hiding behind a couch, terrified at all the people around them. They say, “Stay low. It’ll all be over Tuesday.” Yes, Tuesday: the day of one of the most important elections ever. No matter what it will be historic: either a woman or a black man in office. People really need to pay more attention because electing a president is both a right as well as a responsibility of American citizens. Yes, it’s going to end: and then the decision made is the one we will remain with—no going back. The truth is people need to suck it up because the decisions they make will be with them for years to come.
Interview with my mother, Amy
Q:Who do you support in this election?
A:John McCain
Q:Why?
A:Because I'm Pro-American!Because John McCain is a war hero and a patriotic American who loves his country. He is a proven leader and will work hard to keep our country safe from attack. He will also cut wasteful spending out of Washington. Plus his choice of Sarah Palin made me even happier. She has an 80% approval rate in Alaska and she is very knowledgeable of all the issues. She took charge in her d=state and governed it well and honestly got rid of politicians ho were harmful to the state even from her own party.All the while she was a devoted mother and wife and is a great model for women our country.
Q:What do you consider to be the three most important issues in this campaign?
A:Energy Independence, The War on Terror, and The Economic Crisis
Q:How will your candidate solve this problem?
A:Energy Independence he has brought in Sarah Palin who has a great amount of knowledge in the area of oil as she is from Alaska. John McCain wants to drill in Alaska and offshore to get us off dependence on other countries.
For The War on Terror, John McCain was a war hero and has actually spent time in the field fighting for his country, so who would know better? He wants to make sure that we are never threatened again by the countries that hate America and want our downfall.
And For the Economic Crisis, McCain has worked in Washington alongside all kinds of issues that involve economics unlike Obama, who has no experience. I'm sure that his resolution will take the burden of 700 billion dollars off the tax payers.
Q:Why do you oppose the other candidate?
A:The most important reason to me is his utter lack of experience. He himself said that you have to know the job before taking it on, and he doesn't. He doesn't seem to have the knowledge of the issues that e needs. i have no doubt that with time and experience and PATIENCE that he could be a good president, but not now, when he has been in Washington such a short time.

Collage Reviews
Republican: This collage reads the word Pro-Life. McCain wants to make abortion illegal and notes this as a heinous and disgusting procedure that shouldn’t take place. It also has gun freedom which is something that could potentially keep people from dying. It says No Gay Marriage, which is self explanatory. Things like War Hero, describe John McCain for the good American that he is. He wants offshore drilling, which leads into lower taxes and ultimately a better economy.
Democratic: This collage reads Pro-Choice, when really it should read Pro-Death. He wants abortion to be totally legal and with no strings attached. He wants there to be no guns, which could cause serious problems in the future. He wants to legalize gay marriage and give free universal health care. Which will up taxes a ton. He wants renewable energy and that will take billions of dollars and more than ten years.

Why Alaska?
I chose Alaska for a number of reasons. First of all, this is Sarah Palin’s home state and where she has gotten all of her experience as a political leader. I greatly admire her so this was good choice for me. The next reason is that Alaska is part of a big controversy on oil drilling. They have large reserves of oil, but it is in a Wildlife Preserve. The last reason is because this is an all Republican state {yeah!). Drill baby, drill.
Review Of Alaska Polls
I found out many things through my research on Alaska. This state is pro McCain and has been from the very beginning of the election. Sarah Palin’s entrance only helped up their votes as she has an 80% approval rate in Alaska where she was governor. It is my opinion that Barack Obama has no chance of winning this state…! I believe that the BFL of the data just encourages this as they are rising steadily.
