strategize all you want. I have too much honor to do that.
And that my friend is what makes this such a great country. You are free to do what you think is correct. A lot of people are thinking like you are. hillllereee is certainly not the answer so...why not Obama? I saw Susan Eisenhower on TV the other morning. She came out and is supporting Obama as well. She said it is a different world today than the one her grandfather lived and that we need something new and differentand someone who can make the changes that are so badly needed at this point in our history. Follow your heart, return the “look” of your friend at the voting place with your very own smile, pull the lever for whomever you feel is the very best out of everyone then walk out with your head held high knowing you did what YOU thought was the right thing. That is YOUR RIGHT. With hilllereee our rights will be on shaky ground and people are realizing that finally. It’s better you vote for whom you have confidence at this point in time than to vote for someone who others think is right. Besides, I always thought voting was a personal thing. We do not have to tell anyone who we vote for. It is none of their business. Only our own. God bless America. :)
Best to stay out of it and let God sort it out. He has wisdom in matters of this kind...
To each his own, but really...we should have a "don't ask don't tell" policy here. Not that theres anything wrong with it, as long as they don't stick in in our faces.
Ok...imagine Obama in a debate against McCain. Who do you think the empty-headed-guided-by-feelings people are going to like? Remember, they don’t really care that Obama isn’t saying anything.
Are you seeing the Dem turnout numbers?
Barack “Cult of Personality” Obama is way worse than Hillary.
Vote for Hillary in the Dem primary.
It’s the old lock the government up for 4 years gambit.
I think it could work with Obama.
He’s so left he won’t be able to get anything done.
It’s a big loser for the Iraq war though.
Go ahead then you will be the real RINO :)
I had thought about voting in the Rat primary this year because the GOP process has become FUBAR’d, but they stamp your voter card in Texas with which primary you voted in. I don’t want to be stuck carrying a card for two years that claims I am a Democrat.
Therefore, I shall vote for Fred Thompson like I have always wanted.
OTOH the leadership is so loony who knows what anything means to them...
Oprah’s Kid?
How embarrassing for you.
Speaking for myself, I cannot bear the thought either of a criminal/felon couple in the White House for another 8 years. Obama, despite his liberal views at least appears to be a decent guy. If Obama is the price we have to pay to keep the Clintons out of the oval office it may be a price worth paying, especially when McPain is the alternative. (As far as I am concerned the Republicans already lost the WH when McCain was nominated, so the choice now is between a Clinton and a non CLinton)
I think the best case scenario for the GOP is for Hillary to pull this out and put a wedge right down the middle of the donkeys. So may will be disenchanted once the “machine” roars back and takes the nomination from the golden brown savior.
Just don’t vote.
Interesting strategy vote. I think if I were going the strategy route I’d go for Hillary. I believe we can beat her- even with McCain as our nominee. If it’s Obama vs McCain- barring something dramatic event in the next 8 months- Obama will likely sweep the floor with McCain. A frightening idea- the implications of which we’ve only glanced at to date.
Or- write in your favorite candidate!
Virginia’s a WTA state, so a protest vote won’t do much of anything unless everyone else does too.
Maryland’s proportional so Mitt’s getting my vote.
Weird. If you had told me I would be voting for him 2 months ago, I never would have believed it.
I say do voting for obama to stop Hillary is very smart. She is the Devil! And we know it, stop her now!
So you have no trouble voting for the most liberal Democrat in the Senate but have trouble with Huckabee? That makes no sense, particularly in light of the possible cult of personality going with Obama. I really don’t want our own Juan and Evita Peron here in the USA.
Obama is going to be harder to beat than Hillary.
Obama is more dangerous than Hillary.
Those are my reasons.
If you want to protest, vote someone other than McCain on the republican ticket, even Ron Paul.
Good idea
Just my opinion, but I think that Obama is becoming a dangerous candidate. (see http://obamamessiah.blogspot.com/). The cult of Obama is running strong. Do you really want to do anything that may end up putting him in office?
I think that those who are voting Obama just to play election games are playing with fire. IMO our country is too important to take the risk of him becoming president.
