Debate 2

The most interesting part about this debate was when we had the candidates ask the other candidates to clarify their statements. I thought that Cynthia McKinney and Bob Barr were asked to clarify many things. Such as their plan for Afghanistan, should we send troops or not. It seemed a lot more competitive to me because the candidates seemed to point fingers a lot more, and address a lot of the negative qualities of the issues of others.

We need to concentrate on fair trade not free trade.”
-Nader
I agree with this because free trade is not that great because the government will impose higher taxes and quotas to import goods from other countries.
Fair trade lets makers of goods import and sell their products with higher profits.
Fair trade is good because that gives the maker the opportunity to import their product around the world, and sell it for a higher profit. Other wise the maker would have to sell it in its country if origin where the profit wouldn’t be as great.

“We believe that immigrants are people too like Brain Moore said, but as for Mr. McCain he wants to put stricter laws.”
-Obama
I agree with Obama and Brain Moore that immigrants are people, they are just like you and I trying to find better for themselves and their families. I don’t think that putting stricter laws will make that much of a difference people are pretty determined. I don’t see why immigration is such a problem we go into their land why can’t they do the same.
For example what Mrs. McKinney said “To open the border, how can we say we are a great country when we are keeping and kicking people out.”
It is discriminating. Their must be a reason why they are leaving poverty, war etc. Like Nader said “We need to get down to the root of the problem why they are fleeing the country.” There has to be a reason. I don’t think that it is fair. Just think about it, who are the ones are doing jobs such as picking fruit, land scaping, house keepers, and cooks. Then people get mad because immigrants are taking their jobs but none of them want to do those jobs because of poor pay or just flat out don’t want to do them.

“Bush sent us into a war that his father started. We are wasting so much money on it.”
-Obama
I did not know that, but now that I do know he started the Desert Storm War to catch Sadam Husain. The dessert storm War started when Iraq invaded Kuwait a rich oil country. President Bush senior ordered our U.S. troops to help Kuwait fight Iraq. I guess the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree. If we are spending too much money on it why haven’t we done anything about it? Why haven’t we taken the troops out or impeach the president if he was being too stupid and using it for his benefit.
