POL Politiek
Discussies en diepgaande gesprekken over de politiek in de breedste zin van het woord kun je hier voeren.

Dat het gaat om ongeveer de belangrijkste politieke plek op de wereld is wel jammer ja. Bij elke verkiezing in de VS sterft er ook een klein stukje van me.
The problem is not the occupation, but how people deal with it.
Het was 50 - 43 en nu 51 - 41, hoe heeft Mccain het gat verkleind?quote:Op maandag 13 oktober 2008 19:14 schreef Monidique het volgende:

Het gaat allemaal volgens plan als we McCain mogen geloven:
quote:Campaigning in Virginia earlier Monday, McCain acknowledged his deficit in the polls, and said the national media has all but declared the race over.
"We have 22 days to go. We're 6 points down," he said. "The national media has written us off…. But they forgot to let you decide. My friends, we've got them just where we want them."
When you're racing, it's life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting.
die ACORN aanval van McCain op Obama gaat ook niet werken:

quote:The rally will feature Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) as the headline speaker along with elected officials, immigrants and key local and national leaders. Sen. McCain is one of the chief sponsors of the Secure America and Orderly Immigration Act; bipartisan, comprehensive immigration reform legislation introduced last Congress and scheduled for consideration by the Senate in the coming weeks. A similar rally with Sen. McCain is planned for New York City on February 27.
The Secure America and Orderly Immigration Act was introduced in the Senate by Senators Edward Kennedy (D-MA) and John McCain (R-AZ) and in the House by Representatives Jim Kolbe (R-AZ), Jeff Flake (R-AZ) and Luis Gutierrez (D-IL). It addresses border security and illegal immigration while bringing the 11 million undocumented immigrants out from the shadows and onto a path to legal permanent status; setting up legal channels and realistic caps for workers and family members to enter in the future; providing for tough enforcement; and enabling more immigrants to learn English and prepare for citizenship.
The rally in Miami is being sponsored by the New American Opportunity campaign (NAOC) in partnership with ACORN, Catholic Legal Services - Archdiocese of Miami, Florida Immigrant Advocacy Center, Florida Immigrant Coalition, Miami Dade College, People for the American Way/Mi Familia Vota en Acción, Service Employees International Union, and UNITE HERE.

quote:Bertha Lewis, Acorn's chief organizer, said in a statement that came with the photo, “It has deeply saddened us to see Senator McCain abandon his historic support for ACORN and our efforts to support the goals of low-income Americans."
”We are sure that the extremists he is trying to get into a froth will be even more excited to learn that John McCain stood shoulder to shoulder with ACORN, at an ACORN co-sponsored event, to promote immigration reform," she said.

Wat denkt die muts wel niet? Als een van de twee de gehele waarheid zouden vertellen dan kan diegene het vergeten. Je moet wel winnen en een beetje sprookjes vertellen is nodig. In de VS, in Nederland en in Timboektoe.quote:Op maandag 13 oktober 2008 13:10 schreef pberends het volgende:

Een reden waarom het niet perse erg is als McCain zou winnen. Volgens mij willen de Republikeinen niet eens winnen.
Ik denk dat Mc Cain de drive niet echt heeft, hij zal blij zijn als de campagne erop zit
hij is moe dat kleine ouwe baasje, en dat kalf is hij nu ook wel zat

Zeer wijze woorden van McCain. Echt, die McCain is zo slecht nog niet, zou een prima president zijn.quote:
Heeft ook meer de uitstraling van een president dan Obama, als ik eerlijk ben...Echter, Palin en haar rednecks zijn alleen een drama en die rednecks moet hij op een of andere manier ook tevreden houden.
Ik was dan ook voor hem, totdat Palin om de hoek kwam...

8 jaar geleden zou ik in McCain ook wel iets presidentieels kunnen zien, maar op dat vlak moet hij het toch echt afleggen tegen Obama. Op alle gebieden. McCain komt vandaag de dag over als een cranky old man die niet altijd even helder is, terwijl Obama behoorlijk 'in control' lijkt. Hij klinkt zelfs presidentieler dan McCain.quote:Op dinsdag 14 oktober 2008 00:06 schreef marcodej het volgende:

Ik zie Obama woensdag praten en scoren over zijn middle class tax cut en zijn plan om de $1.000 direct beschikbaar te maken via een voorschot en tot $10.000 belastingvrij te kunnen opnemen uit de IRA (pensioenspaarplan). De enige manier om het dan fout te doen is wanneer Democraten denken dat het gedaan is en vergeten om te stemmen.
Obama vind ik ook wat presidentiëler, maar zowel Obama als McCain lijken mij beiden veel beter dan Bush.quote:Op dinsdag 14 oktober 2008 00:10 schreef Argento het volgende:

Pentecostal Church Leader: Palin a True Judeo-Christian Candidate
Christianity is the biggest religion in the United States, but many Americans don't know much about the Pentecostal faith and its teachings. In an effort to better understand our candidates before the election, Opposing ViewsAssociate Editor Nathan Slavik talked to George O. Wood, general superintendent for the 3 million-member Assemblies of God Church USA, and asked how Sarah Palin's faith might influence her term in office. The non-partisan Web site "Opposing Views" offers readers a look at all sides of the debate on a variety of issues.

Opposing Views: What Pentecostal values will Sarah Palin bring to the vice presidency that America needs right now?
George O. Wood: To my knowledge Sarah Palin has not stated she is Pentecostal. I know she has attended the Assemblies of God Church. We all want a candidate who shares our values, and a candidate like Sarah Palin who appears to have such strong Judeo-Christian beliefs is certainly someone our society needs. A candidate who is sincere in their following of Jesus Christ and is sincere in their Judeo-Christian beliefs is one we would support.
OV: Do you believe that Sarah Palin is a sincere Judeo-Christian candidate?
Wood: Her own words indicate that she is sincere in her following of Jesus Christ and she has certainly represented those values. Obviously she is very strong in her support for the unborn, and the Assemblies of God has a very strong commitment to the unborn, and other issues that Sarah Palin has indicated she sincerely follows the teachings of Jesus Christ.
OV: Can you provide more specific examples of how a candidate’s faith may influence his or her policy? For example, I know the evangelical church has been very active in the Third World and in addressing issues like poverty.
Wood: A true follower of Jesus Christ knows that belief influences every aspect of your life. You will learn how to live ethically, how to live responsibly. When you follow Jesus Christ you're not going to be profligate, and that's one answer to the AIDS epidemic. We're obviously very concerned about the humongous amount of orphans that are in the world, villages in the Third World that are without adequate drinking water, and we're helping to build wells in places like that. These are all humanitarian concerns that are fundamental. We feel like by addressing the spiritual conditions that we help people to care for themselves. It's been said there's a difference between teaching someone to fish and giving them a fish, and when a person becomes committed to Jesus Christ they learn how to live in a way that brings joy and great health and vitality to their community.
OV: Do you feel that Sarah Palin is someone will address America's spiritual condition
Wood: I don't think that's her job as a politician. I think her job as a politician is to govern well. I do think that character has an enormous influence. With people like Madonna and Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan as such poor examples of morality to young women in our culture, it would be helpful to have a woman of both Sarah Palin's character and integrity become a role model to girls in our society.
