Vote for McCain because Hillary lost? Such crybabies. Those who got their feelings hurt and who will vote for McCain will be offset by the multitude of former Hillary supporters who finally saw the light as well as those voting for Obama because they are sick of the ridiculous policies of Bush as represented in this election by McCain and the Repubs. Even with your "sour grapes" support, McCain still will lose handily.

So, don't let the door knob hit ya...
My position has been changed by weeks of bashing and then all the preacher stuff. You can read back on this forum where I clearly stated that I would back Obama. Right now, I just don't see a viable candidate in Obama.
I'm actually a little surprised at how many people are starting to see right through him now. My hope for humanity is slowly being restored...
The tone of the forum seems to have changed quite a bit, save the few sad obsessive turbo-posters who think he's the messiah - "Obama cures cancer!", "Obama singlehandedly stops mideast violence!", "Obama flies backwards around the world to reverse time so he can stop us from invading Iraq!", etc, etc. “If you're not a liberal at twenty, you have no heart; if you're not a conservative at forty, you have no brain.”
What are the differences between Clinton and Obama that are so extreme that you would vote for McCain?
Seems completely non-sensical.
Certainly not cerebral thus I assume you are saying their reaction is visceral.
2. visceral - obtained through intuition rather than from reasoning or observation
intuitive, nonrational
illogical, unlogical - lacking in correct logical relation
As soon as Obama gets the necessary number of delegates, I will be heading to the local GOP headquarters to sign up to volunteer for McCain. I figure, why waste a moment of being on the right side of the GE?! I think we should make ourselves heard, since the DNC has been pooh-poohing the numbers of people who say they won't support Obama.
By all means, vote against your best interests and support the candidate who has pledged to appoint Supreme Court justices likely to overturn Roe v Wade. By the way, in case you hadn't noticed, McCain is a male.

Please spare me.
So as a democrat, you'd rather not vote and have someone in office who is against everything you as a democrat stand for? you'd rather another one or two conservative judges be put on the supreme court, you'd rather Roe v Wade be attacked again, you'd rather the war continue on and have thousands more of our men and women killed (not to mention Iraqi), you'd rather economy keep going the way it is, JUST TO PROVE YOUR POINT?
Jeez. If all dems were like you, we'd be republicans.
When your sons and daughters are still sent to die in a senseless war overseas, don't complain.
When your daughters begin to die because their now illegal abortion was botched, don't complain.
When your wives, mothers, sisters and daughters begin to be treated as second class citizens (because any man who calls his wife a c*nt and trollop doesn't respect women nor their rights), don't complain.
When we need other countries and they reject us because of our government's policies, don't complain.
When you can't afford gas to get to work, and your job is lost, don't complain.
Sometimes bringing in the party is more important than liking the personality. Reverend Wright is a peripheral issue that does not speak to the promise of universal health care, a change in our foreign policy, a sensible immigration reform, etc. If you are happy with the way things are with the US in two wars, people falling farther and farther behind with lack of healthcare, and our fabulous reputation internationally, then by all means, vote for John McCain. It is time to be political adults and vote in the country's best interest, not a personal favorite. If the worst thing that this guy did was sit in a church with a crazy pastor, well hallejuhah brother, I can think of alot more baggage the other two candidates are carrying, and I would have voted for Hillary. My favorite was Biden, then Edwards, and now whoever gets the nomination.
I'm just surprised this hasn't led to a new party.
It's a perfect opportunity--a strong group of supporters has already been unified. They're energized. They're mad, they feel ignored, and they want things to change. They don't really like either candidate now--choosing a candidate out of spite isn't what most people like to do. They have momentum, why not keep it going, and get an independent candidate elected?
Why haven't we seen the emergence of the Women's Independent Party?
This is partly why I am not sure about voting for him. I try to follow my gut and it is not telling me good things at this point regarding Obama. All the hate I have seen emerge with his ties to aggressive pastors and all the dissension among people for Hillary or Obama. On top of that I just don't think he will know what to do when he gets in. We just had 8 years of a puppet. At least McCain knows how to control the army.
That so? Vets groups don't think so. Vets groups are telling me they think he's Dr Strangelove. No kidding, they really used that analogy.
McCain isn't the man he used to be before bush yrs. Even the repubs know it and follow with the same blindness based on some crazy idea they got in their heads that obama or hillary would sieze their assets in new feudal state rules. Guess they've been overdosing on fox news lately.
How is the 'stay the suicide course' working out for you?
Should hillary be officially out of the race, my choices are obama or ron paul. McCain absolutely will not get my vote. You're voting for 4 more years of bush if you vote for McCain.
I've been a democrat all of my adult life. I'm a senior citizen. My first vote was cast for John F. Kennedy. Over the years I've donated money to democratic candidates from the courthouse to the White House. I've worked in campaign headquarters, called countless thousands of voters, helped in mass mailings and attended rallies all over this state and beyond. I've attended 10 state Democratic conventions as a delegate and one national Democratic convention as a delegate.
Don't say I'm not a good Democrat. I am!
But I am also a moderate politically. Regardless of my being a Democrat I still have that wonderful freedom to vote my convictions, my beliefs.
I cannot, with a clear conscience vote for Barack Obama because he is far far and away too leftist-socialist for me. I personally feel that is the wrong path for the future of my country.
I've said before--and debated with some of you--I'm for choice BUT I am not for "baby murder' once a fetus emerges from the womb and becomes a living baby. Barack Obama voted against a ban that would have stopped this horrible practice.
In voting for John McCain I will be voting for a moderate who will not raise our taxes to fund his liberal agenda. I have lived longer than many of you and I have seen the economic misery caused by liberal presidents. Those of you who are thinking the economic situation is bad now should have been around during the Carter years. People were being laid off right and left, stock market in the toilet, businesses closing, lines to buy gas, people going on welfare . . it was truely economic misery.
Despite what some of you are saying Hillary and Obama are not that close on the issue. Her record is definitely more centerist than Obama. By all standards Obama's US Senate voting record is far and away the most liberal of all members of the senate. More leftist than Ted Kennedy and far more to the left than Hillary Clinton!
Obama's friendships with radicals, terrorists and known Socialists and Communists is very disturbing to me. Many of his supporters and campaign staff belong to radical socialist groups that support things ranging from Palestinian rule of Israel to Government ownership of all business.
For these reasons and others, this freedom loving Democrat will be exercizing his freedom of choice by voting against the radical leftist Barack Obama!
