3 reasons why you will vote for OBAMA or MCCAIN?

[^KK^ 3]

Voted for Obama because:

1. He is not racist against Muslims, but McCain is racist against Muslims.

2. Because I am tired of republicans messing up our country.

3. Because it is time for change and I think only Obama can make change.

~As far as gay marriage and abortion issues go; I do not plan on getting involved in either of the two. To be honest with you I do not think McCain can prevent it from occuring even if he wanted to. Therefore, my decision was never based on these issues. It was based on me not wanting a racist old bag in the office.

why laughing? Racism is one of the reason why people are fighting...

It's funny that this is really a reason someone is using for choosing the candiate that they voted for. Discrimination because of Religion is a big reason why people are fighting.

Gave McCain my vote:

1) and the BIGGEST reason...NEVER ONE EARMARK VOTE...EVER IN PUBLIC SERVICE!!! Meaning he is NOT swayed by the lobbyist

Obama had earmarked money to Rev. Wright...$200,000 worth.

2) McCain will NOT hestiate to pull the trigger against a foe...I would rather have a President who WOULD NOT hesiate versus one who will.

3)Obama will increase taxes on those making $200,000 or more per year(this would include our employers and how would that affect our jobs and benefits...how many times must I say this)...Thegreatgate is right...started at $300,000..then $250,000 then..$200,000 and then suggestioned $125,000

I could give you many more, but these are my three

In keeping with Obama's tendency to focus on the issues and have something hopeful and positive to say, and leave the nasty smearing to the Republicans... I voted this morning for Obama because:

1. He was right on the Iraq War from the beginning AND had the doo-dads to say so.

2. I like the changes he is proposing to our tax system. I agree with Balzac... extreme unexplained wealth is suspect.

3. He has a solid pro-environmental scorecard http://www.lcv.org/obama/obama-lcv-score-and-vote.html and will help us end our addiction to foreign oil in an enviromentally responsible fashion.

4. I believe he is extremely intelligent, even-tempered, thoughtful, well-educated, and can re-establish the US in the community of nations as a good neighbor, friend, ally, trading partner and overall respected global citizen. I believe the occupant of the White House SHOULD be smarter than the average bear, and if that makes me elitist, TFB.

5. I think Michelle Obama will make an awesome First Lady, and those two little girls are the cutest things... I love the thought of them running around the White House.

6. His stands on social issues are much closer to my own (although I would legalize gay marriage).

Those are some of my reasons. There are more, but the OP asked for 3, so I limited myself to 6

its ok my dear.. i just want to know more about these two people.. my husband just got home. He voted for Obama coz he has a good plan to Native Americans.. your respond is good.

Yes, great comments Maya. Also, I am part Native American and he does seem to have good ideas in that aspect as well. I just think he seems like a great man overall. He seems like a great father too. I bet he would not leave his wife if she had an accident and became disfigured like McCain did. I know he is all about respecting his wife and kids. He is a good family oriented man. I know that he will be a good president if he wins. Just hope he will win!

Michelle Obama said that she was not proud to be an American...as a veteran who fought for this country I find that very offensive.

Do you think this is true or sarcasm? It is serious I am at a constant battle here in the USA, just because I choose to wear hijab. Is this not a reason for people to choose a man for president? It is not my sole reason but she asked three as in your three top reasons. We all know that we are at war because the world lacks love and is full of hatred.

I think she should have used a different choice of words. I think she meant that in a different way than people wish to take it. My father is a veteran as well and he still voted for Obama.

[Marilyn. 340]

this is exactly what she said...

"What we have learned over this year is that hope is making a comeback. It is making a comeback. And let me tell you something -- for the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country. And not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change. And I have been desperate to see our country moving in that direction and just not feeling so alone in my frustration and disappointment. I've seen people who are hungry to be unified around some basic common issues, and it's made me proud."

i like how people take one little statement and start a whole big thing around it and twist it around to mean something it doesn't...

McCain

1) he's not going to pussyfoot around and let more terrorist activity happen

2) he won't take away my hard earned money and give it to lazy butts that don't want to work

3) he has morals

[mawilson 2,133]

2) McCain will NOT hestiate to pull the trigger against a foe...I would rather have a President who WOULD NOT hesiate versus one who will.

Yeah... that's what scares me. McCain looks all too eager to pull the trigger.

Let's look at our recent history...what no one seems to notice.

Bill Clinton's LACK of foreign policy is, in part, why we are in the Middle East now. No one seems to realize this.

Yes, Clinton balanced the budget, but at what cost?!!?

Obama has even LESS foreign ppolicy experience than Clinton did...and less interest in one.

Joe Biden even hinted at this with his "tested in 6 months" remark.

How quickly we forget.

I'm married to a middle eastern man that is totally against Obama. He talks to his family all the time and everyone in the middle east wants Obama in office. He's said that it's always been said the way to get to the U.S is from the inside. Looks like they might get their chance.

I dont think he was hinting at anything except the fact that there will be some tough choices to be made as president especially under the current mess that has been left behind.
