Proud to say I didn't buy into Obama's charismatic "Change" marketing ploy (which he stole from the Clintons) and voted third-party.
And even though I have a lot of conservative ideas, I didn't vote for Bush either.
I really wish this country could get a viable third-party candidate a la Ross Perot or Ron Paul, but the Dems and Repugs won't allow it. And the American sheeple are stupid enough to believe the propaganda that they're "throwing their vote away" if they vote third-party.
A elderly man, who changed his entire personal belief system to try and win the nomination and the Presidency? A man who knowingly took on a VP nominee, who believed that Abortion should be outlawed out right, even in cases of rape and incest?
I didn't like the choices I had in the last election. I had a lot of freinds who bought the rhetoric from the Obama camp, both from the left and the right.
I always tell people that he wasn't going to drastically change everything, Republicans and Democrats need to remember that.
Do not regret it at all. We knew going in that the mess would take a long time to clean up. As we got into Jan & Feb and the 4th quarter we realized that the situation was much more severe and dire than anyone from either side predicted.
I voted for Obama and I regret it. What has he acomplished? And nobody really seems to know his agenda!!!
Not yet. He hasn't even been in office a year yet, and the sh*t he's having to clean up took a lot longer to make than that. You people seem to think that by sheer force of will and tapping his ruby slippers together that he should have instantly fixed everything.
I'll tell you whether or not I regret voting for Obama when the next election rolls around...and I'll tell you by how I vote.
Even though McCain would have been a better President than George W Bush. In retrospect it is extremely disappointing that Bush beat McCain in the 2000 Primary because if McCain had been President from '01 to '09 in lieu of Bush we would probably be much better off.
the City Data daily "I hate Obama" thread!
If you weren't sure about Obama why did you vote for him? You didn't know his agenda? It was very similar to Hillary's but I guess voters like you think electing a President is like voting on American Idol!
Obama made it very clear what his agenda was and he is persuing it and I have no regrets voting for him.

I didn't see an alternative, McCain ran a fear-mongering campaign with nothing very positive to say and there's no way I'd have voted to put Palin a heartbeat away from the presidency.
