Something to the effect of, "I'm voting for McCain because Barack Obama wasn't familiar with the hanford nuclear site's situation and belittled it by saying he'd learn about it by the time he got on the plane home."

Obama is the islamic idol spoke of in the bible. The masses will love him but he will bring about the end of the world.

Him:"I'm voting for McCain because Obama will raise my taxes through the roof"
Me:"You realize that Obama is giving far bigger tax breaks for the middle-class, right?"
Him:"Well I'm still voting for McCain"
Me:"Why?"
Him:*Sign off*

That's my reason, sounds weird right?. :(

why is a confused kid making statements like this? regardless of the fact that its true, i don't think you know much about it to be saying things like that.

o_O lol, and you think somehow that anyone else is at my age? You do realize that a majority of people just vote for Obama just because they think it's the cool and hip thing to do... -_-
