Concur. At least, with Clinton, I could honestly say I disagreed with some of her policies and plans. I don't even know what Obama's are, so I can't really agree or disagree with them. That makes it confusing as hell.

- "Sen. Obama, what would you do to strengthen the dollar?"

- "Hope."

- "Uh..ok, How do you think we should handle the current situation in Iraq?

- "Change you can believe in."

- "....what about universal healthcare?"

"Hope AND change you can believe in!"
*crowd swoons*

I think that if McCain can get Obama to agree to an unmoderated old-fashioned debate, we will see that Obama is nothing without his teleprompter and speech writers. And, that the things that he believes in are not about America, but about a socialist nation that we won't recognize.

So long as the debates are scripted, Obama's flock will continue to fawn over the new messiah.

I'm from the Internet so I fully support Obama's Change mantra despite the fact I'm still not really sure what it is he intends to be doing.

And hoping, apparently.

Sometimes I hope for change, but I usually just change for Hope. She's a lonely old lady and it pays well.

From what I've gathered Obama wants to be a "leader" and lead the people while forming a cabinet of VERY well qualified people to help shape those fields with intelligence and compromise from both parties.

His ideas on unity are great but ultimately a little too idealistic. I would like to hope he can rally the dems and reps to work together and base his policy on what both parties can bring to the table for once and get the nation excited for it as well as getting the dems and reps excited too.

It would be really amazing but in the end I won't get my hopes up too high.

I already don't recognize this country.

But then, I'm young and still adjusting to political realities.

There's a possibility this country been this messed up this whole time, I just wasn't voting yet.

I'm immediately afraid of anyone who can actually get Congress to "accomplish" anything.

The less those idiots accomplish, the better, in my book.

I think we need to make sure this next election goes as smoothly as possible. Therefore, I propose the following:

No way, what if it floats my way ? Already messed up as it is.

A better choice for Obama VP would be Jim Webb or Bill Richardson.

Bill Richardson: New Mexico Governor that had a bid for the presidency (had very, very poor showings and dropped out early)

Jim Webb: Junior Senator from Virginia, good theories, dose nothing to pull in the women, Latinos, or the west.

He really should pick a Hispanic woman from the mid west. That would pull in all the votes!!

This is your first post? Giving us information that we could have gotten from a fifth grader? Might I suggest an introduction thread that doesn't drip with condescension?

hexjunkie · « **Reply #39 on:** June 10, 2008, 06:12:03 PM »

I had joined as I read this thread and saw all the "I don't know who this is" posts. I did post on the introduction forum about 5 minutes after this post though. I am sorry if I had offended any of you by posting.

If he picked a woman, it would be like flaunting the new girlfriend in front of the old. That will result in the Hillary supporters not voting for him.

hexjunkie · « **Reply #41 on:** June 10, 2008, 11:51:36 PM »

I must admit I had never thought of it that way. So how dose Obama recapture the female voter, aside from stripping at the local clubs?

Wunderkind · « **Reply #42 on:** June 11, 2008, 12:35:00 AM »

Stripping on pay-per-view might work.

Funny though, I don't remember him ever loosing the female voter. I must've missed something inbetween all the hoping and changing.

12AX7 · « **Reply #43 on:** June 11, 2008, 12:44:42 AM »

I think a LOT of people missed a lot between the hoping and changing.

<~~Educated Liberal

So I'm safe in saying my opinion is he is better than McCain in the theories in principals.
I would rather vote for someone with no plan than someone who will send me off to war or weaken the economy anymore than it is. You know if we keep this up we may turn this country into some kind of Peter Paul and Mary song (Puff the Magic Obama, Got the presidency, somehow in the autumn mist, He confused his constituency)

Poor attempt at humor.. probably; at least I tried.

Wunderkind · « **Reply #45 on:** June 11, 2008, 12:59:34 AM »

I lolled. Puff, the Magic Anything is always funny.

Hn, (no damnit, not that HN, the sound) it sounds like you like Obama, right? Or are you saying he's just the lesser of two weevils? I've been on the I'm not voting for the lesser of two weevils speil once already today, so I'll try to keep this out of the rant zone. How do you figure it? The man who will do the least amount of damage, or the best man for the job? Or do they appear to be the same person to you?

hexjunkie · « **Reply #46 on:** June 11, 2008, 01:09:28 AM »

Easy way to word it, I am a constant student. Every time a Democrat is in the White House school loans go down, when Republicans are in the White House the cost of education skyrockets. Aside from that I have read and attended speaches for both (part of work as well; at least until the end of the month) In both speeches I have found McCain to be well spoken and a very passionate man.. but he seems to be passionate against everything I am for at times. I also cannot find where his true heart lies when it comes to war and peace. Obama is very outspoken and I have found myself to be more like minded to him. Also I have met him and he seems very genuine.
Could he be lost in thought and clueless to how politics work?
-- Most likely
Will he learn and attempt to carry out 90% of what he says?
-- I think he will succeed in about 2% of his original goals but that 2% puts us (as a country) in a better position than we are currently in.

I never pick the lesser of two evils, I find that overtime someone will emerge the better candidate and this time around I feel that is Obama.
Hope that isn't too long of a response.

Wunderkind · « **Reply #47 on:** June 11, 2008, 02:22:44 AM »

So basically, you're putting it forward that maybe it's time for some inexperience in the White House. Okay, I'll respect that opinion.
