Debate!

I think that the best moment of the debate would have to be the issue on gay marriage. Talking about this issue it seemed like McCain was being put down most of the time because he is against it. Each candidate voiced their opinion very well about the topic. When it was time for asking questions to the candidates McCain got asked a question that surprised me and that I was interested in. “You talk about having strong family values for a homosexual family would you consider them having weak family values.” I thought that McCain was being put on the spot there for a while.

Quote
“The most important thing is our children. Focus on teaching our children.”
Nader
This quote was covering the topic about education. I do think that the most important thing is children and teaching them to become successful. When we grow old those children are going to be the ones to take care of us. It is scary but it is the truth. That is why we need to come up with more funds for education.

Quote
“Let’s keep the definition of marriage in the dictionary.”
Obama
I like this quote because you shouldn’t stop someone from being together because they are the same sex. I don’t think that you can help the way you feel about some. For example a reading we read in class “What makes people gay.” I think another candidate referred to this in the debate, well what is it nurture or nature. Are you biologically born gay or, was it how you were raised, the environment you grew up in. Would people treat you different if you were born gay?
Why should it matter to another person who you want to be with? I think that Obama summed it up pretty well in this quote.
