PLEASE don't vote for Obama!!! (votes, Congress, Iraq, illegal)

[NWPAguy]

I beg of you, PLEASE do not vote for Obama today.

Yes, I am a Republican. No, I am not happy with everything Bush and his cohorts have done in the last eight years.

However, a vote for Obama is a nail in America's coffin. If we vote for someone who will "spread our wealth around", presumably more than it already does get spread around, that moves us closer to socialism.... which inevitably means higher taxes. (Been to Canada lately?) If you really want to spread the wealth around, let me ask you... do you spread your own wealth around right now out of the goodness of your heart? Do you give to poor people who don't work so they can be wealthy anyway? If you don't, why don't you? (Could it be because it's YOUR money and YOU earned it... so you don't feel that someone who didn't earn it should have it?)

If we vote for someone who will wreck the moral fiber of our country by effectively declaring that "what's right for you is right", systematically tearing apart our legislation that was based upon necessary moral tenets and replacing it with "everything is okay and permissible", we will lose strength and dignity as a country. Let's face it... some things are just plain wrong and if we try to deny that, chaos will surely ensue.

You can argue gay marriage and abortion all you want to... but if we declare those "okay", what's next? Bestial marriage? Burglary? Rape? Murder? I promise you, anyone who perpetrates bestiality, burglary, rape, or murder believes that it's "okay" to do that stuff. Where do we draw the line? Where will we stop moving that line back? Think about this!

You may believe that it's incomprehensible that something like rape might be seen as okay at some point in the future... but realize this: 1) There are plenty of people all around the world who believe rape is okay. (If there weren't, nobody would rape anyone.) They could organize and fight for its legalization... just as homosexuals have organized and fought for legalization of gay marriage and drug users have organized and fought for the legalization of certain drugs. 2) When my parents were kids, premarital sex among teenagers was major taboo and a teenager who got pregnant became a social pariah... largely shunned by her peers. Now, teen pregnancy is seen as "normal" to the point that sex education programs are being pressured to include information on safe sex and how to handle pregnancy... and to the point that teenage girls will make "pregnancy pacts". This would have been totally unimaginable when my parents were teenagers. (And let me ask you... has this new thinking about sex between unmarried teenagers, and teenage pregnancy, really been beneficial to America?)

What stuff will America allow to become commonplace which I never would have imagined possible in my teenage years?

Why is it that the rest of the world wants Obama to be our president? Why is it that he has so many "undisclosed" (and most likely illegal) foreign donors who are trying to buy this election?

Don't you realize that America has been the world's foremost superpower for so long that the rest of the world wants a piece of the action? Extremely powerful things or people are always being considered for overthrow. Now the rest of the world sees a chance at undermining the USA, and we're buying into it?

I'm not here to say that John McCain is the best choice for President. He was never my first choice, by a longshot. I don't care what other candidate you vote for... but PLEASE... DON"T vote for Obama. Mark my words... I promise you, you will eventually come to wishing you had never voted for him, if he wins. A lot of damage can be done in a four-year presidency.

Not to mention an 8 year presidency--which has steadily undermined America's supremacy.
I think Obama's morals are in pretty good shape.
I know mine are, too.
I voted for Obama. I am cautiously optimistic.
The real work begins January 20, 2009.

Already voted for Obama.

[pirate girl]

Welcome to Obama for America to learn more about his plans for America.

Lower taxes for the middle class, healthcare for everyone, an end to the useless war in iraq, alternative energy and fuel, and resuming our standing as the world's strongest country.


America needs Barack Obama.

[paperhouse]

There are going to be some very upset people tonight. The internet has chosen Obama. We'll see how the old people vote.

[sandycat]

Oh Darn! I should have read this before I voted.... for OBAMA!!!

Don't worry, America won't explode with the Dems in power, we promise..

[whatever you want]

You get my vote for most desperate repug poster so far today,but I'm sure there will be many top this one by midnight tonight.

Yes, I've been to Canada. They have some of the most beautiful and prosperous cities in North America.

GoBama!

It's to late, they have drank the kool-aid in mass quantities.

[ottomobeale]

Uh gays getting married is NOT equal to bestiality.

Let em marry. LOL. This comes under the following heading:

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR. YOU JUST MIGHT GET IT!

divorce, child custody battles, alimony, child support.

Yup child support. Lesbians have kids either through artificial insem or a willing friend. Make sure the one not having the kid directly has all the same responsibilities as "daddy".

Im not voting for Obama because of the economic issues that are flying under radar right now. All I hear about is income tax this and income tax that coming from $250K and up people. Heres a few you dont hear about

1) Union card check. Non secret union votes are a BAD idea.
2) Energy taxes and Im not just talking about a bit more gas tax.
3) The fact that CONGRESS not Obama writes tax law and they are under no pledge to limit it to $250K and over. Obama wont veto.

This stuff is going to hit FAR more people than the semi -rich. (depends upon locale. Dallas you get 6000 SF and are rich in NJ you get 1800 SF in Bergen County)
