why should i vote for obama??

Staceb10 · June 2008

Because he's all about change.. changing what nobody knows because he doesn't ever really say

El_Kabong · June 2008

so, what we have so far as to why i should vote for obama is
-he'd pick better supreme court justices than mccain would
-something vague about women's health

oh, yeah, and
-he's 'the only realistic option, deal w/ it!'

did i miss anything? is it really that hard?

he's the only choice that can win that shares some values close to doing the right thing.

He's pandering now and has been pandering for the last year so naturally the Nader supporters are calling him out for it.

He's not going to come on and make drastic wholesale changes and that's what many expect.

I don't actually believe he's going to try to set up circumstances to go to war with Iran like the Republicans will. I believe he'll try to roll us out of Iraq with responsible measure.

I believe he'll work toward some economic issues we need for the domestic side as well as doing something about health care.

And ...Honestly... I'm hoping he has been listening to his minister (Rev. Wright)... a lot of things that Wright has said are true.

Because he's Barack the Builder! Can we fix it? Yes we can!

so you don't BELIEVE it regardless on what he said this week, but you are more than willing to BELIEVE someone else will because.....right.

this guy has built the biggest kool aid stand.

I told you I'd get around to using that joke.

Seeing a poster for a Bob the Builder concert later this month reminded me.

Um, hello? Obama told you to do so!

And more imortantly, sweetpotato told you to do so:D:D

Sheesh, just get in line. Be part of the (fake) movement. Follow orders. Do as your told.

Damn independant, free-thinkiing hippies! Always have to question everything....always have to think and dig deeper. Always being a pain in the ass.

Can't you just allow yourself to be sucked-in by the Obama-Craze....the Obama PR Machine......for just a minute or two? Go with it.

C' mon! And after you vote for Obama we can all sit down together and watch American Idol, Desperate Housewives and Who Wants To Blow Obama? on TV. What fun! What joy!

Sheesh, don't you know 60% of the white Obama supporters are voting for him soley to prove to themselves (and to everyone else) that they're not racist?

" I'm not racist, I voted for Obama. I swear! "

im not a political expert, but to me it seems like he's the lesser of two evils is all i can give you, and i'd like to vote for someone else like a kucinich or nader but that might put mccain in the whitehouse, and we really don't need another republican in there

so you are voting out of fear and voting b/c of who he's not instead of what he is?

who are you advocating that i vote for?

edit: just read your sig, i voted for him in 2000. . .in a perfect world i'd probably vote for him again, but lets be honest he's not going to win and we cannot afford to have another republican as president

he won't win b/c ppl like you, who say they support him, are too scared to vote for him. how is someone going to ever get enough votes to win w/ attitudes like that? what you are saying is you don't care how shitty the dems are, it doesn't matter as long as it's a D and not a R next to their names. if you keep excusing it and letting them get away w/ being ineffectual then why would they ever even think about changing??

well, i voted for him in 2000 and that didnt get him in office, i have a feeling my vote will not be the vote that determines whether he gets into office or not. . .that said i don't have a problem with people voting for him. . .what can i tell you man, it is a flawed system, the electoral college should be eliminated and then people would be more likely to vote for who truly represents them

if more people would have done that in 2000, we wouldnt have the president that makes nixon look wonderful. remember budget surplus? remember the republicans working on character assassination (because thats all they had) ? remember the great economy? i miss the clinton years.

a nader vote is a throw away vote. you know the 2 party system will never let an indy win. not in today's climate.

you've been anti obama from the beginning but i'd like to see your balanced anti Mccain message as well.

its time for an adult to clean up the childs overspending. taxes must be raised.

Why do people act like elections are a guessing game? Do you get a cash prize if you vote for the winning candidate? A vote for Nader can't be a throwaway vote if it's an honest vote.

do a search yourself and you'll see i started a thread about mccain earlier in the week

so you're saying the dems will never let anyone else win but the 2 party's and you're ok w/ that??? to me supporting that is throwing my vote away. they don't care about you or what you want so why support them?

I remember the economy careening toward recession in the last days of the Clinton regime. That shit is cyclical. His presidency was no picnic, either, although admittedly anything looks good compared to this.

why should i vote for obama??
