McCain vs. Obama

As u probably should b aware of, the presidential elections 4 the U.S. r in Novembr, and their r two participants. John McCain, the republican and Barack Obama, the democrat. Below, i hav some info on some of the main bullets. then, when u hav decided who YOU would like 4 president, vote at the side-bar! pleez take your time 2 read all of it.
b4 we begin, i would like 2 refresh a bit on what republicans and democrats r. i think of it this way. Remember the saying "all for one, and one for all"? Well the republicans represent the "one for all" statement. they care more about the summary of the U.S. of america. If 4 some reason, some individual groups of ppl r having trouble, they will sympathize, but has to let it go 4 they r 2 busy overlooking for what most of the economy needs. Democrats represent the "all for one" statement, i think. They tend 2 have higher taxes, so that the "all" can focus on the "ones" or the individual groups. They work 4 everyone.
But pleez, don't quote me 2 much. im not an expert. a smarticle- but not an expert. there may b loopholes 2 that, above.

JOHN McCAIN:
He has been the Arizona senator for over 20 years, he is a navy pilot and war hero, and is married 2 Cindy (with four sons and three daughters- all grown). A fun fact is taht he enjoys barbequing, his favorite seasoning is Hog's Breath! a startling fact is that he's old. Like, 72 years old!

education: parents will choose good schools for their children. If their neighborhood school doesn't meet certain standards, parents will be able to send their child to another school.
economy: taxes will be lower for middle-class families. There will be programs to help people in danger of losing their homes to pay for their houses.
iraq war: U.S. troops will stay in Iraq until the democratic government is stable and the Iraqi army is able to protect the country.
healthcare: anyone who pays for health insurance will recieve money from the government. This will allow people to buy the insurance they like best.
enviorment: big businesses will have to buy permits to release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. the government will encourage the development of cleaner sources of energy.

BARACK OBAMA:
he is younger then McCain (at 47), and was the Illinois senator since 2005. He is a lawyer specialized in civil rights, and is married to Michelle (has two daughters, ages six and nine). a fun fact is that he plays basketball and is writing a children's book! his idea is 4 a "change."

education: struggling students will get extra help. after-school programs will be improved. the government will pay part of the tuition for most college students, helping everyone get a college education.
economy: taxes will be lower for working families. the government will invest in "green" technologies, which will create new high-paying jobs.
iraq war: U.S. troops will begin to leave Iraq immediately. With the help of the United Nations, Iraqi leaders will be pressured to agree on rules for governing their country.
healthcare: an affordable, high-quality health insurance plan will be availible to everyone. Needy families will have help paying for it.
environment: big businesses will hav to buy permits to release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. the government will invest in cleaner sources of energy.
