    Why should give my vote to someone named Barack HUSSEIN Obama? He has very little political experience,is just a fast talker, and excercises lack of diplomacy . He was caught on national tv snubbing Hillary at the President's State of the Union speech (see YouTube.com Obama snubs Hillary) AT this point, he really showed his colors.

      I hope you don't vote. Why did you emphasize his name? Does his name really imply something? How about what he stands for? Where did you mention anything about what he would bring to the table? And talking about his "lack" of experience? Wow, have you missed the boat on that one! That's THE REASON to consider him: he doesn't have dirty money in his pockets (or at least less than others) from people trying to persuade him financially. Snubbing Hillary? I would, too! She's a cold b/itch who likes to make personal attacks against him, than quickly become defensive when he does the same. Please, do America a favor and stay home when it's your turn to vote!

    AMERICA, whoever it may be, IT'S TIME FOR CHANGE. We're in need of reform. I don't think we can argue about that.

    i'm in the miliatary. Yes I just got back in from Iraq. The only question I ask did I miss something. Since when were we loosing the war in Iraq. It seems to me that if we were loosing the war it wasn't because of any military tatics. Its because America is a bunch of spineless cowards that quit anything challenging. In Iraq we are trying to change a culture of hatred. It takes time Please give the military some time. If I have to go over again I will but when I am over there I want a president who will support me and my fellow troops and not shun us. Democrates and Liberal out there are the biggest threat to national surcurity not the terrorist. You see under my least favorite president of all time Bill Clinton th military was ran into the ground. the whole world knew it. So the Islamic extremist attacked us. The whole time we've been over there their game plan was just to annoy us and make us retreat. Well it looks like America doesn't want to hear that THE SURGE WORKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Iraq is nearly over but we still have atleast another 10 years before we can claim complete victory. Please don't make us pull out, under fund us for 8 years before another terrrorist attack then expect us to when an easy war. Because the truth is that it wont be. They'll be the wons with the confidence, the experience, and the numbers. If anything bad happens let us leave the tip of the spear pointed at our enemies neck so we can properly respond. Please don't turn our back and believe that piece in the middle east will ever happen and they will magically change their ways. We need to show them that Americans are people too. Not evil infidels like they have been raised to believe. I mean open a history book people. If military member are dying to defend their country so what. We all signed up knowing that was a possibility. In my eyes its better to loose a million soilders than one innocent US civilian's life. Since 9/11 we've had 0 terrorist attacks.... think about it folks. If we pull our military out do you honestly think they wont come here. Open a history book. Read about how Islam was spread by forcing everyone to convert or die! Look at how they constantly attack Isreal! A vote for any democratic party member is a vote to support TERRORIST! But go ahead you SPINELESS COWARDS vote to end the war, but don't come crying to me when another 9/11 happens. I'll just say "I told you .... You no listen"

      Thank you for your service and for voicing that we are NOT loosing the war. And to all those who think that pulling out is the best result I can only ask to what avail? The only thing that would accomplish now is a lot of lives lost for nothing. Do you really want to tell the mothers, fathers, family and friends of those who lost their lives that it was for nothing? We are making progress and the people in Iraq do need our help. Ask any soldier who's been there - I have yet to hear a single man or woman say what's being done there is in vain!

    Sorry to write again, but for you nay sayers of a double dynasty clinton and bush.... if the 2000 Florida election were not so rigged, by Bush politicos then there would be no dynasties now would there.... look at that one incidence among many in the bush reign and tell me that the Clintons are not far better at taking care of the economy and the people of the USA. We don't need another inexperienced preacher in office. We need someone with experience and actual plans to guide us.

      Since when did this become a "Clinton's" campaign? I was under the impression that Hillary was running - but then she also seems to think she's "qualified" to run the country because she was 1st Lady for 8 years. Since when does that equal qualification?

    I am a woman who has voted as a Democrat for all of my voting life. While I would love to see a new face in the White House either a woman or person of color, I am still looking for substance while choosing a canidate. Initially, I found all three canidates as viable picks for my choice as president. However, as I have been following and reading the news I must say I am quite disappointed at how "The Clintons" are choosing to distort and mislead Obama's quotes and past situations. During the debate I saw Hillary, focusing on twisting Obama's record rather than staying on issues I as an American find important. "The Clintons" tag teaming each other to go after Obama has really had a reverse effect on my perception of who I'm going to vote for. The way "The Clintons" are running their campaign ( I say Clinton's because it is very apparent Hillary has Bill as her cruch, "Can't leave home without him") has turned me so off, that if she does win the Democratic primary I'm going to switch my status to Republican (if I can in my state by that time) or just not vote for her at all. And believe me, I really do not want to see another Reuplican in office for four more years. - LinLin (MS_LinLin@Hotmail.com)

      Have you done research on everyone running? I've spent hour, maybe days researching. And as a registered Democrat, I am voting for Mitt Romney. What's the worst he will do? Try to improve our government? He carries a history achieving goals. HAVE AT IT!!! ...If He does no good we won't Re-elect him. (www.mittromney.com)

        Enter Your Comment: Diplomacy is a diplomacy. Barack Hussein Obama is not dplomatic at all!. He snubbed Hillary in front of the cameras at the State of the Union speech ( see. Obama snubs Hillary in YouTube.com)

  • Posted By: NASCAR2008 @ 02/05/2008 12:38:43 PM

    I'm a hard core Republican and John McCain has my vote. I'm tired of everyone trying to dictate policy and procedure when it comes to John McCain and the Republican Party. As-far-as I'm concerned John McCain is Conservative enought for my vote.

    • Posted By: debbY4057 @ 02/06/2008 1:16:37 AM

      Have you looked at his record. It has pulled the US in the gutter. I don't think there is a good candidate on either ballot

  • Posted By: KevinNW @ 02/05/2008 11:01:15 PM

    What's up with the vote in West Virginia. I was considering McCain, but since hearing about the little scam he and Huckabee did in West Virginia, gives me second thought. I'm now swaying towards Hilary.
    So West Virginia delegates didn't like the way the first vote turned out so they voted again till they got what works for them. Sounds like elementary recess games to me.

  • Posted By: sarahb @ 02/05/2008 9:01:31 PM

    I'd like to point out that Hillary did not "win" Florida or Michigan. First of all, as a Michigan resident, I can attest that many people did not go to the polls because our votes didn't "count." Second of all, Hillary went against the party and was the ONLY DEMOCRAT ON THE BALLOT. It's impossible to project who would have won if it would have been a real primary. However, at least in Michigan, you should take a good hard look at the amount of "uncommitted" voters who DID show up on primary day...those are Obama supporters. If he had actually been on the ballot and the primary would have counted, I suspect Hillary would not have taken the state.

  • Posted By: dor940 @ 02/05/2008 7:51:47 PM

    I think its unfair that the delegates from florida and michigan were not allow to vote for their candidates because it would have helped Clinton a lot because she won the priimary in those states. I think that they're just trying to hold Hilary Clinton back some so that they could give Obama a lead. That's what I think.

  • Posted By: chiserb @ 02/05/2008 7:48:31 PM

    You pay the $888 Billion she's spent and not even in office. Why would I ever pay for others that do nothing and the DC' Pork!!

  • Posted By: chiserb @ 02/05/2008 7:30:23 PM

    you pay the $$$$888 million that she plans on spending!!!!

  • Posted By: rmcinti @ 02/05/2008 6:36:28 PM

    How does my vote in the general election compare to the primary election. Aren't our congressmen supposed to vote the way the primary dictates? If so, does my vote in the general election really make any
    difference?

  • Posted By: p_sha85 @ 02/05/2008 12:39:54 PM

    you should vote for a candidate based on their policies, not their skin colour or gender. after all, 4 years down the line, it won't matter if they were black, white, male or female.. it will only matter in which direction they have lead the country. If we think along these lines, then the right candidate will certainly be elected.

  • Posted By: jeanie605 @ 02/04/2008 11:59:10 PM

    Regarding the previous post
    Voting for Obama because of his skin color is as absurd as voting for Clinton because she is a woman. You seem to be confused, voting for a president because of skin color or gender lacks in logic. You should not criticize anyone who votes for a candidate because of race, when you are supporting a candidate because she is a woman.

    i say go hillary she might be a woman but she wont kill us all like bush she will do us all some good so vote hillary she is the woman

    • Posted By: altoid77 @ 01/11/2008 11:23:24 AM

      I am a woman, and I back Obama 100%. I believe a woman can be President, but Clinton's not a woman I would choose. And it's unjust to vote for someone based on gender alone -- Clinton could get the job done, but this country NEEDS Obama. Clinton's just more of the same, but people are deluded into thinking she's different because she's a woman.

      • Posted By: mecha1300 @ 02/04/2008 11:39:17 PM

        people are deluded in thinking that Obama is the choice because of his skin color, wake up and vote for HILLARY !!!!!!!

      • Posted By: NASCAR(29)FAN @ 01/31/2008 6:35:34 AM


        I'm a Man, A vetran, who served in Iraq, with no healthcare, suffering in a poor economy, getting married this summer, and I am voting for Mitt Romney. Support me by supporting Mitt. VOTE MITT ROMNEY!!!

    Are people really this ridiculous? Are people still circulating rumors that Obama is a Muslim? If people would check their facts, they would see that Obama has been a member of the same Christian church for a very long time. Let's please become informed Americans! It is embarrassing to think that other Americans are speading rumors like this-is racism still that strong in the US?
    Also, let's stop bashing Muslims. Even though Obama is not a Muslim, why would it be the end of the world to have a Muslim running for President? Let's not blame the actions of a few people on an entire religion. As a Christian, I am completely embarrassed by e-mails like this. Grow up America-start looking at the real issues.

    Did anybody actually check the comment below (Titled who is Barack Obama?) with all the lies about Obama? Do you simply send it along because it SAYS it was checked by Snope? Did you even go to Snopes to verify? It WAS checked by Snopes, and was reported as false.
    Please go to http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/muslim.asp for the truth about this email. I wish people would stop circulating TRASH without thinking or checking details.
