Part 2

4.    Q: When people talk about a "black president" even though he isn't even fully black, it doesn't make sense to me. We could just as easily call him a white president, it just wouldn't sell as well. (Also, why does race even have to be an issue? Back to the real issues, people) Explain it to me.

    A: If you really think that race isn’t an issue, then why do you mention it?  On top of that, are you blind???  Barack Obama is black.  I really don’t think you could just as easily call him a “white candidate” with the amount of melanin in his skin.  At this point, I’m not even sure why I dignified this ‘point’ with a response.

5.    Q: When people complain about one candidate not having any experience (Sarah Palin), but then complain that "24 Years is enough" (Mitch McConnell) it doesn't make sense to me. Explain it.

    A: You don’t seen the difference between the to situations?  Sarah Palin has no experience in federal government.  Alaska pretty much hates her.  She ran the state into the ground while was governor.  She has no idea how to handle foreign policy, or what to do with our military.  The “24 years is enough” is people saying that they are tired of the same ideas representing them.  To have the same person in that seat for 24 years means that no new ideas are coming to the table.  In short, you’re comparing apples to oranges, making this point invalid.

6.    Q: I understand that people want a tax break. The fact that people believe others should have to pay more of the taxes than them, and call this fair doesn't make sense to me. Explain it.

    A: I can see this as a legitimate bone of contention.  A lot of people see this as a Robin Hood tactic.  A ‘rob from the rich and give to the poor’ style of politics.  I understand that, but what you fail to mention is that the increase in taxes will only be to the rate they were at under President Clinton.  Please recall that under President Clinton, our budget was balanced, and we actually had a cash reserve (read: surplus).  Us ‘working class’ people need the tax break.  We are the ones that have been hit hardest by the crash in the economy and the rise in price of basic needs.  Those that want for nothing and don’t bat an eye at filling up their Hummers and other gas guzzlers, they can afford to pay the taxes they paid 8 years ago.  I’m convinced that Bush cutting taxes for that wealthy 1% of the US is a huge contributor to our national deficit cascading farther and farther into the red.  I don’t know how much a representative or senator makes in a year on average, but I’d imagine that some of them will be apart of that bracket.  If they pass it, they obviously feel that it is their patriotic duty to contribute to the wealth of the country so we can better ourselves in unity.

7.     Q: When someone is for abortion, but not for killing adults, it doesn't make sense to me. Explain it.

    A: Hmm… is this an ‘all or nothing’ statement?  Kill’em all or kill no one?  I tell you what.  When you develop a uterus and can carry a child, I’ll entertain your views on abortion.  I, however, will abstain from such conversations because I’m a male, so a woman’s body is not something I should be making a decision on.  As far as capitol punishment, I say leave that that to the states.  Mine comes in second on the
