What's Bubbling in Your Head?
I was bouncing around on polls that I don't usually go to the other night and I noticed that liberals were talking to liberals about how bad conservatives are and conservatives were talking to conservatives about how bad liberals are.
Come on now soda heads, this is just plain silly. How are we ever going to solve any problems or even come to some sort of an agreement if we are only going to speak with people of like minds.
I realize that liberals hate conservative ideas and conservatives hate liberal ideas but, the problem is civility. We have lost the ability to debate without hatred. I will discuss anything with anybody if they speak to me with respect and don't use nasty words and insult me.
I thought we had a community here on soda head. Is it possible for us to start TALKING to each other without spewing evil vitriol back and forth? I think so. So I will start by asking a question that is open to all soda heads to answer and debate with all soda heads. The idea here is to see if we can be respectful human beings no matter what our ideology.
Question: Will America be a better place with a McCain presidency or an Obama presidency and why?

You're probably right dahacks, but I just got tired of everybody yelling and screaming at each other and getting nowhere. Liberals will at least listen if you talk respectfully and this election is to important to not get your point across. We have an obligation to America to try and change as many liberal minds as we can. If speaking with respect will accomplish that, then I will do it.

Answered Obama can bring the country together
I think he can work towards bringing this country together (like you're trying to bring SH together!), but he will also try to cooperate and work with other countries, rather than ignore or slam them, getting us nowhere. He may be young, but maybe that's beneficial. He may have lived in another country, but maybe that's beneficial, etc. I believe in this candidate, I truly do. -

I have to say perks this poll truly impresses me. I take back most of the nasty things I've thought about you. I can think of nothing more productive than people of differing opinions coming together to discuss what they have in common and how to reconcile what they don't.

The problem is that people are getting emotionally involved with their candidates they are convinced their pick is the best pick and at that point anyone disagreeing is personally attacking them somehow. I don't understand it myself why can't people debate their points without name calling? As for who will be the best president right now I'm not too crazy about Obama or Mccain. -
LOL! hold your nose huh? I am really not feeling McCain for the simple fact that he doesn't seem to want much different than the current president. Obama's policies on how to protect our borders is more than a little alarming....its too bad its like one extreme to the next with these two and no happy in between.

Answered McCain is more experienced
And much more diplomatic, plus he respects both sides and he certainly sits more in the middle than any other candidate.
