I probably will regret this, and I am sure my email act will, but I feel it necessary. I am not dong this just for me but for my whole family and friends that feel like we are lost at this point. I have been a democrat all my life (51 now). I have worked hard for Hillary but now I find myself in the position of either voting for someone I do not trust or believe in, or voting for a republican for the first time, or not voting at all. So, I am gong to do the stupid thing. I am tired of all the media telling us what to do. I want to talk to people, know the opinions of people who have been affected by this primary season, or that have worked for one of the candidates. What I would like is the following: Why should I vote for Obama? Don't give me the because you are a democrat. Give me some good reasons to vote for him. If you voted for Hillary and switched to Obama or vs versa, then tell me what helped you make that decision. And, for those Clinton supporters...same thing. If you voted for Hillary and now will vote for Obama, please tell me why. If you refuse to vote for Obama and want me to vote for McCain or stay home, then tell me some reasons I should. Thank you for this help. You can email me at getgreatbiz@excite.com Depending on how many replies I have to this and if I have other questions, I will respond to your email.
Open thread has been messed up for over a week---
Really upsets me when people say, WE DON'T KNOW WHO BARACK OBAMA IS
Link
850 RESULTS
or he hasn't done anything
Link
Barack Obama 124 Bills Sponsored
almost 600 when you include co-sponsored
John McCain 38 bills
almost 130 when you include co-sponsored
www.thomas.gov is a great place to start when you want to see what a polititian HAS DONE (or in McCain's case---NOT DONE)
Then there are the sites that record all the votes (or in McCain's case----not votes)
Try google----it is wonderful
God bless the world wide web
If you check the news in other countries, the world is rooting for us.
Our present economy and McCain will DRAG THEM DOWN WITH US.
He goes to basic in August, field medic training after and then has a 90% chance of being deployed in Iraq as a USMC Medic soon after January, 2009.
Terrifying.
With McClellan set to testify soon and Kucinich putting impeachment back on the table, is it not clear that this is not a just war? I believe that ANY Democratic candidate will see to it that it ends much sooner than McCain's "100 year +" strategy. I can't even call that a strategy.
As I understand it, a field medic isn't stationed in a hospital - they're out on patrol. IED's. Snipers. Rockets. Mortar shells. Insurgents. All looking for the red cross patch to weaken a squad by taking out their medic.
I don't want this. I already don't sleep nights and he's still here.
I understand your concerns. I have two sons who bought into, "this is my duty" - and are now stuck! My older son has done 3 tours over in that God forsaken place already. Both sons put off college because of what they thought was a noble cause.
I WANT THIS MESS OVER!!!!
Thank you as well. may they all come home, alive and well. We'll stuff 'em so full of pot roast and potatoes that they won't fit out the door to go anywhere!
That has been totally debunked---but then don't tell Hannity or Fox or Limpballs
The push for renewable energy
The need for health care reform (mandate or not)
Ending the war in Iraq
Government regulation on lenders to address the housing crisis
Recognition of the need to repair our standing in the world
Major Education reform
Better benefits for our veterans
More focus on domestic issues on badly injured social programs
Repealing tax cuts which favor the wealthy and corporations
There are reasons I backed him over her, but these issues I believe transcend both candidates. John McCain represents none of them.
My dream ticket McCain Clinton 2008 Obama Sect of
State!
Red and Blue = Magenta the Color of Common Ground
United We Stand Divided We Fall!
Bill Clinton in his Book My Life said the Left
was fractured in the Johnson Administration,
Civil Rights and the Viet Nam War, I personally
am to this day a great admirer of Lyndon Johnson,
The country has been slit in two, some like
myself spilt within a party!
The Republican Party playing on the
ineffectiveness of the left has transformed our
federal government into a false flag operation,
I do not believe John McCain is party to the false
flag operations.
Our nation is at War! With every inch of soil
and every star of the Milky Way, soon to be declared a terrorist zone.
With an experienced military man in the white
house, we would have a president who may think
twice about secret prisoner
of war ships, Abu Grave, sending unequipped soldiers into battle.
Hillary Clinton is the policy wonk genius of our
time! She also was on the committee in college
who brought down Nixon.
Obama would be the first Sect of State in 16 years
besides Colin Powell's brief stint, that would be
allowed to attend a peace conference in the Middle
East solely because of his gender.
Alas we now live in a delusional democracy!
None the less I will vote for a Democratic
candidate in the Presidential Election, even though
at the bottom of my heart I believe will not be
a free election!
McCain seems to be very strong on foreign policy but I have not heard or read much about his economic program.
Still looking for answers and listened to what you haVe to say.
