My Vote '08

[Mtgate]

Just wondering! How do you feel about Obama now?

[GeneticBlend]

He lost me with his so called health care "reform." Health and wellness is something I'm incredibly passionate about so him pushing this SICK care (as opposed to HEALTH care) agenda really turned me off. The final nail was this new Afghanistan operation. I will say though I'm not surprised. I don't believe any of this stuff is really his (or any presidents) decision. I think the last president to truly think and act progressively was JFK. All the positive energy seems to be waning doesn't it?

[blunderbus21]

Wonder what accomplishments you saw in Obama..I saw none. Still loving the fake-phoney and fraud?

[fehquig]

Hopefully things will get better with all this positivity...

[somecallmejim]

I thought about Obama, but I wound up writing in Mike Huckabee, as he's the only one of the original pack of candidates that my view were most fully aligned with, and he was truly anti-mud slinging in his campaign, which I liked a lot. That being said, Obama should be a decent president, so long as he sticks to his campaign promises.

[captainfury2007]

I am so glad thi election is over. OBAMA!!!

[voicetube]

I think the motivation factor; the energizing factor -- very important. Thanks for the vid, bro!

[psushgirl]

i hear ya joe! great vid <3

[maxim2266]

VOTE OR DIE!

[missdivinestalls]

As did I bro. Nice job!

[AMHelm]

Amen, Joe.

[WrenFreya]

Me too! This was the first time my son got to vote. He's 18. I was just as excited for him as I was on his first day of school. Especially for such a historical election. I was so happy that Obama won. You are right, he motivates people. I think he will do a wonderful job.

[Ranblv]

Good for you.

I like Nader better on many levels, but I think voting for nader is letting principle dictate over reasoning.

I think it basically like giving JM the vote at the current chances nader has.

Luckily Obama won.

[runningcuzimcrazy]

Yay :D

And Obama won ^_^

[Steve7508]

I'm not American, but I read both of Obama's books and I think he'll do a great job.

[JimmerSD]

Sounds like my same line of thought..

[ChristopherMast]

I totally agree about the positivity. Net neutrality! YES! The media deregulation sucks.

[kokohawk]

Good reasoning and great choice!

[ClumsyBumsy]

I'm biting my finger nails... Can't wait to hear the results in the morning. Go Obama!

[sasukettt]

i voted for obama

[Robert697]

I voted for freedom, liberty and the US Constitution.

Because of Ron Paul's endorsement, I wrote in Chuck Baldwin.

[stylistbrighton]

should of said 'holding' i have a sticy 'l' as anyone will tell you!! lol

[stylistbrighton]

Great work, i am hoding my breath for america! (not literally)

[rodman332]

Nader, Ron Paul, Chuck Baldwin...all excellent choices

[exactomacto]

Even though I'm a McCain supporter, I really respect you in the fact that your voted and you know exactly why you voted for who you did. We'll find out who's going to be president in a few short hours. Good luck.

[vjm1234]

Congrats. I too was a last minute decision maker. I'm proud to be a part of this election process. I also video taped my vote. Stay tuned. Smiley:D

[Urgo6667]

Well put reasoning. I agree with you Obama did do a great job so far, and will continue to positively motivate people. That's why I will be happy when he wins even if I don't think he really was the best choice (Kucinich was my first choice).

That being said, since Obama has a strong lead in NY, I did end up voting third party, McKinney myself because of the issues. I felt it better to make a statement & stick up for what I believe in rather then to just add another vote to the old system.

[jonasgo5]

interesting

[musosf]

Seriously Joe, very thoughtful and interesting breakdown of why you cast your vote the way you did. Those of us not in the battleground states have an easier time voting strictly on policy positions and in the past I've gone third party myself. I believe the two-party system limits our choices and the very discussion itself. But for similar reasons to yours, Obama earned my vote this year.

[anakin1814]

Well said on all accounts. I struggled with Biden's internet policies...He's no friend to internet people like us....But in the end, we have to make the best, most informed decision and weigh out the pros and cons. I agree with you about how historic this all is. Woot! I just got back from casting my vote for Obama as well! :)

[musosf]

I disagree with GtR. Your face actually is gay. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Down with Prop 8!

[GeneticBlend]

Prop 8 is losing in the polls by 5% so far. Good luck my friend.

[GoretexRobo]

your handsome interesting face yeah i mean that in a gay way not that yur face is gay but i ment it that i'm a homo and said yur handsome.

[bnessel1973]

I voted for Perot.  He's running again, right?

[nbwulf]

I voted for that little lawn gnome. (=

[maryann712]

Agreed. I will now invite myself to your house.

[andymooseman]

Good point about Net Neutrality. That's a very important issue & one that so many people aren't aware of :)

[nbwulf]

Go O.  =)

[mtamorphis]

I second that!

[maryann712]

yeeeeeaaaaahhhhh xxxoo

[musosf]

I think I can I think I can I think I can...

[mastergunner99]

As did I. Fried Chicken for Thanksgiving!!!

[musosf]

oh. my. god.

[anakin1814]

Wow! I agree with Mike! Wow!

[IsaacGolle]

I really hope Obama wins. I'm Canadian so I can't vote for the President but my concern is that there are a lot of people who think that Obama is going to win anyway so they will not take the time out of their day to go and vote because they assume Obama is going to win it anyway.

If enough people do this...McCain has a chance of getting all the votes.

[wpgpeanut]

I never voted today!

[nerdfighter4]

you Live in canada!!!

[Brianswers]

Neither did I! lol. Someone gave you a thumbs down. :p

[wpgpeanut]

Thumbs down for Canada :(

[Brianswers]

It's thumbed back up lol. think it was down in response to not voting. They probably didnt see you are Canadian. lol

[xSamanthaNicole]

yay for obama :) *does obama dance* :P

[tree1309]

i agree with you, all i know it will take time, but if we are patient it will happen..

[TheStepfordNews]

I totally understand why you would want to vote Nader, but unfortunately due to the f-ed up way we vote in this country a vote for Nader is going to be a vote for McCain. It sucks, but it's the way it is (for now) hopefully it will change soon.
