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??????
