Is it because you think your candidate is the best choice, or because you're terrified that "they" might win?
This isn't about any gaffe, scandal, or otherwise trivial crap that so many seem to care about. I want to know if you really support the person you're voting for.

I "kind of" support Barr...but Id fully support Paul if he was still running.
I think Obama and McCain are scary options, with Obama being slightly more scary...but like I said, no win either way.
Good luck with your thread, although I doubt you will have much success with it.
Simply put, I'm voting for Obama because he was right on Iraq and Afghanistan, and has an political-economic position which I think is vital if the US is to succeed in a 21st century economy.
I was just about to post the same type of question. Thank you. Some of what is being said, by both sides, is so downright cruel and ugly that I would hate to meet these people on the streets. It is scary that some of these posters are actually adults out in our society who might have children of their own and who might even hold responsible positions.
Since this is a political forum, I think it would be more beneficial and civil to just discuss why we ARE voting for our candidate, or why we can't decide. The mudslinging doesn't get anyone anywhere.

I've gotten the impression this forum is just for fun. Or letting off steam, I guess. So, since it's a game, people "pick a side" and then get caught up in "winning" without really stopping to think about if they really mean what they're saying. Or if they still like that person, as time goes by. Because the rules of the game see to be once you pick a side, you stick with it.
Like when the democrat campaign manager in Arkansas was murdered. People said all kinds of hateful things within minutes of the announcement that he had died. I'm sure they didn't really mean to be so hateful. I'm sure they wouldn't go to the man's funeral and say things like that. But they were caught up in the game, and they felt their team had won because there was one less dem in the world. They're really just playing a game--like dodgeball, where the object is to knock people down as fast as you can.

This election is more of a circus than Ringling Bros. What bothers me the most, is that many, unlike you, cannot really say why they support a certain candidate. They can only say why they don't like the other candidate. It's time to stop this. Electing either of these candidates will only prolong the divisions.
I admire Obama for a lot of stuff that he's accomplished in his personal life, but I'm not voting for him.
I think people need to give honor to where it's due.
He went from food stamps to Harvard.
There is a good reason to have food stamps/welfare, but 99.99% of the people who use it abuse it.

He claims he was on food stamp, was he really? Certainly not in Indonesia or with racist typical white granny. Call me a skeptic, I don't buy it. He also claimed he was a product of the Selma march, MAJOR LEAGUE lie on that one.
