Yeah, but they're much more devious. Have you seen the way they treat innocent civilians? Reminds me of American marines. No one wants to be a T-1000.
Anyone else think Robert Patrick was born for that role?"Sarcasm: intellect on the offensive"

I want Obama for President.
Not an easy decision for me, since I was raised a Republican. I had a plush stuffed toy elephant as a child whom I named Nixon. I voted for Reagan (my first ever vote, in my early twenties) and I voted for Bush. And I voted for the Bush baby too, even though I was already falling out of love with the Republicans at that point in time.
Obama has what any American leader needs the most: an every-life. He started out with an every-life. He could've been anything, anyone, anybody. He has lived an every-life....yet he's taken his life farther than most people I know with an every-life. And look at him now.
He has good ideas. Good principles. Good speeches. Good presence. Good brain. Good heart. Good background (no matter what Billary says about his Muslim schooling, LOL). Good vibes.....and vibes are important.
I'm a 42 year old administrative assistant who is making just enough to get by in an apartment I share with my boyfriend and our two cats. We have no savings account, although we both have 401K's and medical insurance that depend on our continued employment. We live paycheck to paycheck. We have family members who have either served in a war or are about to. We pay our taxes and we can afford a computer. We are healthy, so far. But we worry. We worry all the time.
I don't want a useless war that will cost lives. I don't want America to be seen as a bunch of smug cowboys. I want every child in this country to learn how to read and get a good education. I want every citizen in this country to remember the principles we were founded on, and to uphold them.
I...a former Republican.....am very seriously considering campaigning for Obama.
Ahhhh.....I feel so much better now, having gotten that out. Now tell me how to start.
If you want the war to end, then you probably shouldn't vote for him. He's never stated that he wants to plan a complete withdrawal. Look at his voting record....he voted against troop reduction and he voted to increase the funding for the war.0 -

Well leading up to the 200 election I heard many times how people thought that Bush was more of your averge American and that Gore came off like too much of an intellectual and elitist. So people actually voted for him based on his characteristics and look where that led us."When one gets in bed with government, one must expect the diseases it spreads." - Ron Paul0 -

So we voted for the lesser of two evils?
I voted for him because he actually carried out death sentences in a timely fashion as Governor. That's hot."Sarcasm: intellect on the offensive"

Isn't that what people where saying about Bush and look what he did to our country. I'm no fan of Slick Willy but if we are going to point out the flaw of picking our politicians simply by their character traits then lets make sure we point out how we made that same mistake twice after Bill left office.
and I was thinking that myself...but there is a big difference between Good Ole boy George and Obama....I could have beer with Obama...but never with George...righteous without a freakin clue. Obama's seen life from a perspective George couldn't even imagine. Also as mentioned earlier......anything is better than what George or another righteous a$$wipe.10-18-2000 Houston, 04-06-2003 Houston, 6-25-2003 Toronto, 10-8-2004 Kissimmee, 9-4-2005 Calgary, 12-3-05 Sao Paulo, 7-2-2006 Denver, 7-22-06 Gorge, 7-23-2006 Gorge, 9-13-2006 Bern, 6-22-2008 DC, 6-24-2008 MSG, 6-25-2008 MSG0 -

depending on the severity of their handicap they can not assist in their defense or may not even know the difference between right and wrong.
