The upcoming presidential election proves to be a contest of the ages. The race has been riddled with drama. On one hand we have Barack Obama the Democratic Nominee. Second we have John McCain of the Republican Party. Both have illustrious political careers, yet only one will become our next President. Only one will hold the reigns of not only our Country but will guide its direction. Each of these candidates differs in key areas including the situation in Iraq, our economy, and abortion. It is absolutely key that we decipher their intentions for they will decide the course of our future The war raging in Iraq has been under a great deal of debate and scrutiny. Not only has it been a heated topic, but it’s an absolutely key section during this Presidential election. Barack Obama has always been a stark opponent to the war in Iraq. As a senator in Illinois he strongly campaigned against the war during his 2004 senate bid. He went on to state “I am not opposed to all wars; I am opposed to dumb wars.” The Presidential hopeful is also opposed to the current influx of troops. He specifically supports a phased withdrawal of troops from Iraq. He believes that the Iraqi people can make a determination about how they should move forward. Obama doesn’t want to sacrifice any more American lives for a foreign cause. As a senator in 2002 McCain voted for sending and authorizing the use of American Armed forces to wage war in Iraq. John McCain is a current supporter of George W. Bush’s policies concerning the war in Iraq, though he has criticized the management of the war. He also supports the current increase of troops, and wants to maintain levels of troops in Iraq. Our Economy has always been a great concern as it currently affects our daily lives. Whether it is the current tax incentives, or our dependence on foreign oil. Though each candidate differs we should pay close attention to their expressed policies. Barack supports tax incentives that will aide companies who keep jobs here in the U.S. He also suggests a $75 billion dollar plan for our economy that would return a $500 dollar tax rebate along with a $250 dollar social security supplement for senior citizens. Obama intends to use federal money for states hit hardest by the housing crisis. This would aide California greatly due to many of the foreclosures we have experienced. Barack would also put more federal spending into unemployment. It is clear that Barack cares for the typical person as opposed to big business. On the other hand presidential hopefully McCain wants to lower taxes to help small business. Yet he wants to slice the corporate tax rate from 35% down to 25%. John also intends to give tax breaks to businesses that invest in equipment and technology. The clear trend through McCain shows that he favors business and corporations. The debate concerning pro-life and pro-choice has been ever so heated and proves to be a dramatic focal point during this upcoming election. Ever since the Supreme Court’s dramatic decision in Roe v. Wade that ultimately made abortion legal, has the debate continued to surge. Barack Obama has always remained a constant supporter of the pro-choice ideal. He supports a woman’s right to choose as protected by the U.S constitution. “A woman’s ability to decide how many children to have and when, without interference from the government, is one of the most fundamental rights we possess. It is not just an issue of choice, but equality and opportunity for all women.” Barack opposes overturning the decision of Roe v. Wade and has made it absolutely clear that he would fight any attempt to rescind it. In the Illinois senate he voted against a bill that would ultimately ban late-term abortions due to the stipulation that it didn’t contain a clause that would protect the mother’s life. It’s simple to see that Obama clearly values the life of the individual and trusts women to make their own decisions concerning their body. McCain remains a stark supporter of pro-life. He believes that abortion should only be legal only if the pregnancy is due to rape, incest, or if the mother’s life is in jeopardy. In August of 1999 McCain said “I would not support repeal of Roe v. Wade, which would then force X number of women in American to undergo illegal and dangerous operations.” Then in February 2007 he went on to say “I do not support Roe v. Wade is a flawed decision and must be overturned” Which was a clear flip flop from his previous statement. McCain would also fight any use of federal money for public funding of abortions or organizations that perform them. He also voted NO to an amendment during the 2006 Fiscal year budget that would allocate $100 million for funding to reduce teen pregnancy through the use of education and contraceptives. McCain is clearly against such groups such as Planned Parenthood who offer education and support for the youth. The facts are clear and ultimately it is up to use to decide which leader will more…
