they aren't deserving

I've stated plenty of reasons why I wouldn't vote for him and think he's just more of the same and I'm pretty sure I understand politics.

1. Explain WHY you think Barack Obama is "a great candidate."
2. Just say that anyone who doesn't like him obviously has no idea what they're talking about, and therefore has a lack of understanding for ANYTHING politically related.
Almost every Obama supporter I've dealt with is the same. No reason why he's obviously the best choice, but if you don't see that he's the best choice then you don't know anything.
yep, that's been my experience, too.
'He's a great speaker and uniter' really isn't saying much. I don't understand what's so great about him. His stances are almost identical to Hilary's and actually I think some of hers are better. And all 3 have the same foreign policy standards. What has he done that is so 'grrrrreat'?

Or Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan, Palestine....and the list goes on.
I am truly proud to support a candidate for the first time in my voting life. I don't feel like I'm fighting against someone so much as I feel I am fighting for someone who is truly deserving, inspiring and for all the things I believe in. It feels right. And I'm gonna keep singing his praises for as long as it takes.

Having "foreign relations" experience is vastly overrated. Intellect, Common sense, compassion, passion, human decency etc. are much more important. All of which has been severely lacking the last 8 years.
Also, what ex president has had great foreign relations experience before they took office? Answer. Pretty much none (George Sr. is probably the closest and that went well. doh)
besides America needs a lot of fixing at home too. It would be nice to have a president that cares about the people in the US too. Bush could give to shits about the common man at home or afar.
You, have no idea what you are talking about. And about 99% of the people i know who support Obama know NOTHING about him. Its fucking pathetic...just a shit popularity contest
So he/she doesn't know what they're taliking about because your friends are retarded?
and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.

I'm sure some of the people that support obama don't know as much as they should about him. Same as some McCain, Hillary and Nader supporters.
I'm just so tired of all constant criticizm that Obama supporters are mindless sheep, while supporters of his opponents are apparently the only free-thinkers on the planet.
Supporting a party with candidates and a platform fitting or as close as fitting with your objectives certainly does NOT make you (or others) sheep.
Frankly, I find the "sheep" comments to be a form of labeling from frustrated people who find many just do not agree with their view of the world. Rather than to try and understand why they disagree (and respect this) it gives an opportunity to be dismissive of those folks as "dumb". Rather short sighted and self defeating in my point of view.
It's been going on in this forum for so long now. There's at least two or three comments in this thread alone about it. Whenever you say anything back, someone says ' well why does obama deserve your vote'?. So you answer, and then a couple a days later it happens again, and in the end i just think, fuck it.
He's already in office isn't he?
I'll be writing in Dr. Paul this year.

Don't let it get to you. Us Nader supporters get called radical, extreme left, head in the clouds, too idealistic, stubborn, fringe, throwing our vote away....you know the drill.
People who disagree are going to often do it whilst being rude and obnoxious, sadly. Let that speak to who they are as a person, not yourself. As long as you know it isn't true...don't sweat the small stuff.

I'd like to think they change things for the better...ya know, like they all say they're going to do. It's their job to guide us and lead...not just talk about things they never do. They all have these grand plans of things they say they are going to do because they know it's supposed to be their job. They pick cabinet members, advisers, judges, etc who do affect the direction our country is going. So when I see these candidates all full of these plans to change things, they need to put their money where their mouth is. They all have connections with lobbyists, corporate contributors and these same people who give them the money to get elected will be the ones who benefit the most once they're in.
If all we expect out of our leaders is talk, it's no wonder we're in the mess we are.

Is it not bush's policy's more than the fact that he barely string a sentence together?
If his foreign policy and heck his policy at home was slightly better would we not forgive the fact that he's as thick as pig shit.
The economy has polarized to the point where the wealthiest 10% now own 85% of the nation’s wealth. Never before have the bottom 90% been so highly indebted, so dependent on the wealthy.
who are you voting for ? o thats right, Canadians aren't allowed to vote in America.
I agree Helen. being a good speaker and uniter is saying ALOT. not sure why abook would dismiss that as nothing.
obama, for example, hasn't been in office yet. he hasn't had the chance to prove the things he says. so until then, its just talk.
so what...?
it's their choice to vote for who they want to...
right...?

Don't be silly.. the only reason Hillary and Obama is still undecided is because America is no where near ready for a black or a female president. American doesn't want either of them
The race is long over.. McCain is the next President of the United states... in spite of all the hoopla that will go on in the coming months.. it all shit because American's like to pretend they are something they are definately not!
