Obama= more war in Afghanistan possible Pakistan and Iran war. Obama wants to take away medicaid from children. Obama opposes single payer health care. Obama does not support the impeachment and imprisonment of Bush or Cheney. Obama voted to take away our constitutional rights which he swore an oath to protect (great resume for a civil liberties lawyer). Obama supports torture and death of civilians!

go record, not rhetoric! vote third party!

How would Bill Clinton know if Obama was ready to be president if Bill Cinton was impeached himself??? (this is pointed at bill not obama)

Go Obama save our Economy!!! and Help create Jobs!

[marissacalderon]

Now is the time to push the third party agenda more than ever. Obama and McCain are the same thing. There is no lesser of two evils. Maybe Obama is a little more compassionate than McCain, but I am not going to vote for someone because of their qualities. I am going to vote based on records. Obama's record and rhetoric are completely opposite. So if you want to vote for Obama, don't expect much, he is part of the same corporations as Bush and McCain, and in the pockets of even more.

Look, I know he's not perfect...what I'm saying is accept what we have to work with and be realistic. The consequences are too dire this time. My conscience says to take the best we can get and not completely fuck things over by being an obstinate ass. Like I said, choose your battles, now is not the time to push the third-party agenda. Get Obama elected, then work to change government from within a system that will give you the freedom to do so. I'm all for idealism, but not right now.

ok... well Nader has done more for that issue than Obama. Obama wants to do offshore drilling in his latest statement. We actually have green party candidate Cynthia McKinney, you should check her out. She is loads better than Obama.

Obama may hide and sometimes flip so that everyone will back off of him, but if you've been paying close-close attention you'll find out that he doesn't believe in going to War with Iran- he believes in Working with Iran and Iraq's neighbors. There's only one other candidate who advocated this-Ron Paul. He only wants to go to the Afghan/Pakistan Border Region to get Al-Queda & Bin Laden- "If Pakistan will not or cannot." That's a position I can respect.

[billionaireby16]

I'm a Ron Paul Conservative and even I'll admit that there's a big difference between Obama and McCain on Foreign-Policy. Obama is a Politician, just like McCain. That's about the only link the two men have. Obama is not a War-Hawk, but McCain is a Traditional Neo-Con. Obama strongly advocates multi-lateral partnerships and EVEN Presidential Diplomacy to stop wars. He's been heavily criticized for saying he'll meet and negotiate with Iran, Chavez & Medvedev. McCain thinks these nations are evil.

[marissacalderon]

I wish it was bullshit, but it isn't. Look at Obama's voting record, does that look like change? It is the same as McCain's voting history. Obama voted for the re authorization of the Patriot Act which is a write off for TORTURE. Obama voted for FISA which allows spying on Americans and covers up Bush's illegal activity. Obama thinks Afghanistan is the right war, tell me, how many terrorist have we caught in Afghanistan or Iraq? Obama is related to Cheney. Enough said.
