Absolutely NOT! Unlike others I would REFUSE to sell my soul to any of the political parties. I find it amusing that if your not for Obama all of a sudden your either a racist, anti-med. marijuana, or a hired hand. I'm a free thinker and refuse to change any of my beliefs based on a party's platform.

I don't like or respect Obama because of many reasons:
-Pull out "most" of the troops from Iraq and leave the others for target practice.
-We won't gradually go away from oil usage...lets just jump into the fire and see if we get burnt. Drill like hell here and work on other fuel alternatives in the meantime.
-He states that he's against earmarks but has so far gathered over $200,000,000 in his short term as a Senator.
-Associations with Rev. Wright for over 20 years and didn't realize he was a racist piece of garbage. I don't buy it!
-His insinuation that we would be in Darfur which would basically put us in charge of protecting China's oil interests in the country. Why?

I don't like many of McCains positions but I DO respect the man:
-He's been to hell and decided to stay with his men instead of leaving them behind. That to me shows an actual love for country and his fellow troops. MUCH RESPEC!!

-Right wing views of abortion are NOT part of my agenda
-His views on gay marriage are outdated.
-His views on med. m.j. are outdated.

ONCE AGAIN it's not a vote for who we like but a vote against the other. I've voted for Republicans, Democrats, and Independents in the past and the only ones that I can honestly say that I "voted for" was Reagan, and Perrot. B. Clinton also received my vote in his second term due to who he was running against.

My problem with Obama....he has a seperate face for every occasion. A promise for everyones issues tells me one thing; the man is a typical politician who's ONLY agenda is getting his name into the history books.

I still hold firm that real change will ONLY happen with term limits on Congress and Senate.

Have a good one!:s4:
