Unless you count voting to get us into the Iraq War, and we all know how well that turned out.<BR/><BR/>I don't hate Clinton. Again, if she'd won the nomination, I'd be voting for her in November, and it wouldn't be just a lesser-of-two-evils vote. When it comes down to it, I don't even hate McCain, though I think the concessions he's been making to certain elements of the right are very scary.<BR/><BR/>Will Obama be the messiah everyone's looking for? Probably not. If he wins, he'll be proven human just like everyone before him. But we desperately need to rid the White House of all vestiges of the Bush administration, and we need someone who considers health care worthy of even paying attention to. For those things, I'm betting on Obama.cinderkeyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578961959712679966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8373573052582581717.post-63312766590330938872008-08-23T10:50:00.000-07:002008-08-23T10:50:00.000-07:00It's all about experience. And I think if things ...It's all about experience. And I think if things got really tough, Hillary could make the necessary decision. Obama sounds like the UN -- "If you attack one of our allies, I'll say stop....And if you don't stop, I'll say stop again!" See Russia in Georgia for all the info you need in regards to that. <BR/><BR/>http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080823/ap_on_re_eu/georgia_russia<BR/><BR/>I'm far from a hawk, but the only time I saw Obama get worked up was in a speech a few months ago when he was telling us we should all speak another language (though he does not) and roll over for the illegals he wants to grant amnesty......Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8373573052582581717.post-59604939597693197942008-08-20T00:28:00.000-07:002008-08-20T00:28:00.000-07:00OK, now I'm intrigued. Clinton and Obama, as far ...OK, now I'm intrigued. Clinton and Obama, as far as I could tell, had nearly identical platforms. If she'd taken the nomination, I'd be voting for her in the general election. So if you don't like Obama, why is Clinton so much better?cinderkeyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578961959712679966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8373573052582581717.post-21020754722091730132008-08-19T17:04:00.000-07:002008-08-19T17:04:00.000-07:00The wrist bracelet was probably for free kool-aid....The wrist bracelet was probably for free kool-aid. Glad you didn't have any. It would suck getting together with you and seeing you glassy-eyed and never blinking, repeating all of Obama's unproven platitudes all night long. ;)<BR/><BR/>Still hoping Hillary takes over the convention...only chance of me voting for president this year. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
