I can't believe there are people stupid enough to vote for Obama.

I am sick and tired of the Republican agenda. I'm sick of ignorant, fear based, ultra conservatives, telling me what to do, how to think, and lying to promote their agenda. In my opinion, McCain will be a miniBush, so Obama it is.

Does it matter? Our votes don't matter. Besides the president doesn't have much power anyway.

I dont' think he stands for anything, he talks out of both sides of his mouth, and I hope there is a lot more out there who wonders too, causeif he gets elected we in big trouble. I watch Fox new channel tonight and they was saying after an interview he done that he has no understanding about how to deal with the problems over seas, that he wants to talk it out with the ones that has bombed us to go back to the way it was on Sept 10, day before 911, they said on Hanaby and combs that he will get us another 911 soon after he gets in, he is not capable with dealing with our terriorst threats. He has too many shady friends and they said he was being backed by Hamas, the very ones that are killing our troops in Iraq, now why would they back him, they can't vote, so what is in it for them, that he is a puppet for the rest in congress to pull the strings on, that he has no idea about foreign affairs and he will let them into our country with out a problem. Let's just pray that america wakes up by the time the elections come about.

lol. Its cool man. I certainly dont have time to research that. If it is the governments fault that gas prices are the way they are, then that gives me all the more reason to vote against a republican agenda. Vote for Obama!!!! We need change!!!!!

Thats the thing. Its America. I can vote for whatever reason I want. And dislike for Bush is as good a reason as any. But from the speeches I've heard from Obama, I like that his focus will be the common folk, like me. People who struggle with gas prices and insurance prices. To me its embarrassing that every other country out there thinks we are a joke. We have a guy in office who can barely speak. I think that Obama will be able to bridge the gaps in foreign policy. Its everybody's world. We should be partners. Not have everybody hate us. You haven't really given a good reason why you don't like Obama. Elaborate please.

Oh I absolutely disagree. The devil you know is not better than the devil you dont. I would actually not be too opposed to McCain as I believe he is more moderate than Bush. One issue Obama has said in speeches that I have heard is reducing the tax loopholes for big businesses. He has said that Exxon has had the biggest profits in their history this year. That coming on the heels of 4 dollar a gallon gas. Also he has stated that we need to bring our troops home. Saving money on the war will allow him to implement a plan to make sure that every child is covered with health insurance.

Well, I usually welcome new members to myLot before saying anything else but you sure did get my attention, robehren! This is a forum for discussions so I have to ask you if this is how you usually start discussions in your "offline" life. Starting out by calling people names isn't exactly getting off on the right foot here on myLot or anywhere else for that matter. I'll give you an answer to your question but I wouldn't count on a whole lot of responses with the attitude you're presenting. First impressions can mean a great deal! Of course, chances are you've come across some of the "Obamattackers" here and have come to the conclusion that this is the accepted behavior here on myLot. I'm NOT stupid but I did vote for Obama in my state's primary and intend to do so again in November. If you don't know what he stands for that's your fault, not mine and not his. There is as much information available online about the issues and where each of the candidates stand on them and what their respective histories are in relation to them as there are false rumors and smear campaigns, you just have to make a bit more of an effort to find them.

This is true, Obama has been very slick so far and has not gone out on any limbs. I do believe that, as we get closer to the election, he will reveal more about what his views and actual plans are. He has to...so far it's little more than change...change...change....
