Hmmm..............the reasons given by many why they are voting for McCain........... Anti-Gays, My-God and My-Guns.

FactCheck.org: Did Obama write that he would "stand with the Muslims" and that he nurses a "pervasive sense of grievance and animosity" toward whites?

From the same site:
After all, there were thousands of so-called campus radicals, most of them white and tenured and happily tolerated. No, it remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.

And so, he chose, and rejected whites, and was more than comfortable listening to the rantings of Rev. Jeremiah Wright. And that is why there are masses of blacks voting for him.

I am voting for Obama due to the hope, strength, courage, wisdom, and equal rights he represents for all Americans. He is the future. The younger generation sees this, and I think they are right in their choice of support behind Obama!

what do you mean the 'hope he represents'? What policies do you agree with? Emotions shouldn't have any place in voting. Look at his record, look at his policies. It scares me so much when I hear people voting simply because they 'feel' like a candidate is the best. If you want to vote for Obama because you agree with the facts behind his actions, then great. If you are voting based on a feeling, please rethink what you are doing.

The OP should realize that many of those "young idiots" are getting shot and dying everyday in the name of freedom. I respect our young men and women and they have every right to choose a candidate of their choice.
BTW, I voted early and most of the people in line where seniors, (weekday, early, most people at work), and the talk in the line was that 75% were voting for Obama. I am also a senior and I am for Obama. SENIORS FOR OBAMA!!!

Young people are the problem? Aren't baby boomers the ones in charge and who have screwed our country up to the point its at now?

You all are crazy, get over yourselves! People can vote for whoever they want. I guess you can sit around and be mad about it but don't you have better things to do with your time?

Like someone said how is that any different than someone voting for McCain just because they are afraid their guns will be taken away. I met someone like that yesterday and that is the only issue he is voting on, that and he doesn't think a black person should be pres. Does that sound like a good reason to you? It doesn't to me but I just rolled my eyes and moved on, you can't control everyone!
