Governments bring themselves down, it's not as much a vote for Obama, more of a vote for change. He may end up being the benefactor for that.

At least with Hitlery, you know how she might vote on a given subject. Obama could be a loose cannon for all we know. McCain - I am not even sure what party he represent?

Man the choices suck this time around.

Yeah, I think we've entered the twilight zone . 6 months ago, if you told me everybody wanted Hillary to win, I would have said you were crazy. I think you are right on, it's the lesser of 3 evils: Marxist, Marxist, and what ever mccain is.

Thats why I think Obama isn't worth my vote. He doesn't take a stand on anything. He hasn't done anything. His record is full of abstains. He's got charisma and thats all he has.

2. Support the goals and ideals of Better Hearing and Speech Month.
3. Recognize the Ellis Island Medal of Honor.
4. Name a courthouse after Thurgood Marshall.

12. Establish the 225th Anniversary of the American Revolution Commemorative Program.
13. Name a post office after Sergeant Riayan A. Tejeda.
14. Honor Shirley Chisholm for her service to the nation and express condolences on her death.

preservation system.


Senator Obama, in his 8 years in the Senate, has written 890 bills and co-sponsored another 1096.
In fact, in just his first year in the U.S. Senate, he authored 152 bills and co-sponsored another 427.

Uhhh... Where did you get your information? Wrong Obama I think - he hasn't been in the Senate that long yet as far as I know (I could be wrong) - He just got elected in 2004 and hasn't done anything!!!!

I just looked it up - Obama was just elected to the Senate in 2004. That gives him 2 years on the job before he dropped everything for his presidential run.

Scratch that - 1 year since he wasn't sworn in till 2005.

He's a first term Senator. He knows NOTHING! He has a BIG idealistic streak, wants to "change things", and has done NOTHING!

Charisma and Oprah are all he has. And sadly, in this disaffected, TV addicted, "pretty boy wins all" society of ours, it'll be all he needs...
