to the note that someone couldnt vote for Obama for his undecided votes…those werent undeceide votes! They were votes where he declared “Present.” In the Illinoise system of voting-they have buttons of Green for yes Red for No and yellow for present. By declaring present, one is saying-i don’t oppose the bill…i’m not for it….if enough others support the bill, then it should pass, but note that I’m not going to add to either side in the vote totals. It is a way to make a statement on an issue.

Unfortunately, his record of undecided votes makes me think he doesn’t know how to take a stand, and if you think americans won’t pay for the health care he plans, who do you think will???? With terrorism the deadly close threat to where you and I live, do you really want someone in charge who hasn’t even fullfilled a single term as senator? Remember the president is the head of the free world. Think about that !!! He speaks a great game but in the real world what he proposes won’t really work. If I am facxed with a vote for a republican or Obama, I will vote republican. I am not alone in this. I was deeply offended when super Tues. night Obama spoke and played the race card. I was insulted and surprised that more americans were not !!! Shame on him. It doesn’t matter what color skin a child has, they should not be catagorized. They are all american children. Now I know I cannot vote for him if he sees people in black and white.

I’m sorry, but we did that in Quebec – having a “minority” leader for the left. Believe me, we learned the lessons. We had gone from that:

Not everybody is as open as you would like to believe. And if you want results, not just good sentiments, that matters.

So we have proposed a gay candidate. What happened ? The most right wing party got a free ride to the second place.

Now, a woman is in charge of the left wing party (PQ). And the super-right party (ADQ) is crashing again in polls.

Ron Paul is in favor of abolishing the war and the Federal income tax. He is in favor of returning liberalism to the STATES as the constitution requires. If you believe in liberal programs, support the guy who wants to remove the NOT efficient Federal programs and move the money to where the people are.

I disagree. He has a funny name and I’d never heard of him before. Ha-Ha, just kidding. May the best man or woman win!

Hillary will indeed energize the Republican base but I think she could be McCain anyway. But the problem is bigger than just the White House. Progressives need to get this country back in the right direction and having the right President. You also need a LARGE margin in the House and Senate. 60% works best.

A charged Republican base can’t help for a Republican President, but it could keep the Progressive win in November too small to really make a difference.

This is another reason to vote for Obama.

I am simply at a loss. John Edwards was a candidate for whom I felt I could actually get excited. I watched the most recent debate on CNN last night, and I could scarcely muster up any motivation to support either Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama.

Despite her desire to be judged on her own merits, I am loathe to put Clinton in the White House because I am staunchly opposed to having our country be headed once again by one of the two families that have been running this country since before I could vote. That leaves Barack Obama who simply leaves me cold. I see where his (or Hillary’s) triumph would be a symbolic victory for the country, but is that enough?

I’d love for the Democrats to finally wake up and realize what they have in John Edwards.

Barack Obama’s Health Care is the Same Universal Health Care offered by Hillary and Edwards, but with one Major Difference: You Have the Option of Choice!

We as a nation have to decide, do we want to be forced to pay for universal medical insurance, like we are mandated to pay for auto insurance now? Or would we rather have the option of CHOICE — to be able to decide whether or not we want to buy our medical coverage when we think the time is right?

Barack Obama’s plan thoughtfully does not want to put another mandated cost, like auto insurance, on the backs of the people, especially the young, who already have college costs to contend with. However, the coverage is always there for you, if and when you need it. That is our decision and our choice!
