it's funny, i said it not too long ago, but most people scoffed at me. but now it seems some of the same people agree with me: Obama will be the next President. whether that's a good thing or a bad thing, i don't know, but that outcome is much beter than Hillary.
oh and Kucinich is a moron fro saying he once saw a UFO. he wasn't gonna do much in this election anyway, but that comment pretty much sealed any chance he had of pulling it off.

There's no way he'll win and its for one reason only, he doesn't have the mony that the front runner candidates do, this is the most expensive election in the history of the United States, and notice the only front runners are the ones with the money... Others with not much money make a little buzz then go away, Kucinich or whatever the fuck falls under that..
I whole heartedly back Barack Obama, The Audacity of Hope was an amazing read and I really feel he can bring the change our nation needs so much..
Overall though I just want this all to be over, I'm so sick of flipping through the channels and seeing something on Barack, Hillary, Romney, Guiliani and McCain on every single news channel.. The only show that doesn't seem to is Nancy Grace and i hate that bitch

you know what...me and my friend were talking about this and i don't know how this became but why is hillary running when a black man is running? to my thinking its because they would rather have a women in presidency then a black man. how come there are no black presidents in america? how come there there are only white presidents? its because they like white presidents and thats it.
i vote for obama and who cares if his name sounds like osama.

A lot of Obama's ideas... he just plays it safe. He's regurgitating what other people have said before him. I see no real chance for change. I'm not voting for him. A lot of people are going to vote for him just because he's a minority and that pisses me off. I hear idiots saying "Oh, i'm voting for Obama b/c he's black" that's so damn stupid. I want someone with some ideas to make CHANGE after the Bush nonsense.
Bring the troops home, give us food that's healthy, keep American jobs in America, etc. :fury:
People complain about immigration saying there are no jobs and the immigrants are taking all the jobs, well if large companies would stop sending jobs over to other countries then we would have more jobs in America.
well that's the thing about politicians, you can't take them on their word most of the time, and not ever during an election. Syn's right tho, i haven't heard Obama saying anything really different from what others have said before him. i had to laugh when i saw that Oprah has given her support to Obama. what a surprise, Oprah supports the black candidate. 
guys like Kucinich have good ideas, but how do we even know if any of those ideas would be implemented if he became president? or is he just talking the talk like all politicians do and making empty promises? i hate politics.

It's funny because for a local election here, everyone voted for a Black candidate because he was BLack and a democrat. No one voted for the White republic who had really great ideas. Free healthcare in Chicago has been screwed ever since, lol, and still no one sees the error of their ways.. they are so shocked, etc and they never had a clue to what the guy they voted for planned to do in the first place.

Funny, because a lot of blacks have said that they're not voting for him because he's "not black enough," whatever the hell that means. Others said they wouldn't because they didn't think he could win, although that has changed now.
I like Obama in this election because we have similar ideals and I think he's the most likely to be able to accomplish his goals. To hell with Hillary's "experience," even Republican Senators say that Obama has more success reaching across the aisle than any other Congressman they know. Democrats aren't going to have a 60% majority in the Senate, and that's what they would need to push their programs through without cooperation. If anything, Hillary would just make partisanship worse, maybe the worse we've seen. Contrary to what Puff said, I don't think be a worse president than Bush, but she would probably make the conditions in which the president operating worse, accomplishing just as little as Bush has.
If I have one gripe with Obama it's that his health care proposal isn't completely universal. Although it's a vast improvement, it's not the best we could do. Either way, no health care plan will be perfect. We have to implement something intelligently, watch how it operates, and make tweaks as needed.
As for the other two democrats, Edwards is to formulated and Richardson is just not presidential material.
As for the Republicans, I have heard much of anything that is good from them except Ron Paul and one comment from McCain ("We need to unleash the technology of America" - something no one talks about)--I also like McCain's position on the environment, obviously. I'm still 50/50 on Paul. Some ideas are good, some are bad. He needs to stop quoting misleading statistics from the Wall Street Journal though (referring to the oil vs. dollar vs. gold graph). Also, he wants to rape the earth.
And if she supported Hillary then you would be saying, "What a surprise, Oprah supports the woman candidate." You ever think that one of the most philanthropic people in America may be attracted to the candidate most think is the most inspirational?

what a surprise, Oprah supports the black candidate.
i like obamas ideas. he talked about health care, iraq and keeping jobs in america, tax breaks for middle americans, all the things that u claim to like from other opponents. lets be real, drastic change isnt going to happen overnight. people get worried about that, u need to take it one step at a time. just for the simple fact that obama is black is a big change for america, might help open peoples minds. then u can go from there introducing other policies that might seem crazy different now but in time, we'll just flow into it.
so if you like Obama you approve that he voted for the patriot act? he didn't mean to vote 4 it you say? then maybe he is a flip flopper... or he really does wanna rid you of your liberties... kinda sad how all you people claim to know a lot about obama cuz you hear him speak. It's a speech, you know what a speech is? usually they are written by people who know how to use words in very very nice ways... so you decide for yourself look at the track records and then decide don't just look/listen to a speech, read a book or w/e, look at the facts... open your eyes... don't vote for the lesser of 2 evils... Vote Ron Paul 2008... he doesn't have a chance you say? he doesn't have a chance cuz you say he doesn't.... If he doesn't win this country is f'd, no1 offers any real solutions 2 Iraq, Iran, and even now Pakistan... Like Ron Paul said, lets just get out of every country and let them fend for themselves. We have more nuclear weapons than the world combine no1 will do shit to us... It's true think about it... Every other candidate, (Dem, and Rep.) except for Kuc., and Gravel, which i respect because they are true to their beliefs, want to get out of those entangling alliances...
Peace,
RP 2008 FTW!!!! Let the rEVOLution begin!
We gotta start makin' changes
