Time To Vote! - Super Tuesday Is Here
I've voted in the past three presidential elections, but never before on Super Tuesday. All of that changed this year. This is one of the most exciting and important elections in recent history. And I'm not talking about the Republicans. I'm talking about Obama vs. Hillary. If you live in a state that's having it's primaries today, please go out and vote!
I'm a California resident now, so here's the info you'll need: http://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/elections_ppl.htm
If you're curious, I'm voting for Obama. I don't despise Hillary as a phony like some, but I just think she's too polarizing. I don't think she'll stand a chance against McCain. And I think that electing her president sends the wrong message internationally. Right now, if you travel abroad, you'll find that the reputation of The United States is about as low as it can get. And I think showing the world that A Bush daddy and a Bush son can be president for an equated twelve years. And now A Clinton husband and a Clinton wife can follow suite... it just makes us looks stupid. Like we're incapable of change.
When I listen to Barack Obama speak all I hear is change. I look at someone willing to work with our enemies, rather than declare them 'evil' and go bomb them. I look at someone who will unite people, rather then divide them. I look at someone who will make me feel like a patriot again.
This is why I'm voting today, and why I'm voting for Obama.
This newspost won't stay here long, so don't get angry at me and turn this into a political debate. I just knew that people would be asking me who I was voting for today if I just posted this here and didn't say.
The choice is yours though. Just make sure you use it.

I second that! Go-Bama!
VOTE OBAMA - any other choice is for the past, the tired, the used and the tainted - we have a real chance to change our country for the better, i've seen him speak, and read his books, and he reminds me of a combination of JFK and MLK - please, get out and vote for OBAMA, for once you can make a difference - he has motivated and inspired the fringe across this great nation of ours: the disrespected women, the undervalued blacks, hispanics, asians and other minorities, the young whom most write off as apathetic and stupid, and every other segment that hasn't given a shit or cared in the past - do your research, but i think you'll find that if you go to these primaries, and register as a democrat (even if you are an indie) and support Barack, you will not be disappointed
thanks
YES WE CAN

Corellion hit the nail on the head.
I'll take Barack Hussein over Hitlery anyday, but it's like saving your child over your wife. Both candidates don't give a rat's esaphagus about our Constitution, American sovereignty, or the Liberty overall.
But we don't have a choice this election either way. The presidential races are locked. Our best shots at regaining control by the people over the government come in US Congressional elections, and picking new and/or clean candidates (no CFR ties).
I may vote third party if it's McCain vs. whoever just so when it comes crashing down (as it has been) I can say "I didn't vote for this". Lesser of two evils is no choice at all.
I'll cut myself off there...thanks for being informed and spreading the word to vote, Dennis, even if we disagree.
If anyone's interested...

Why do people keep throwing Barack's middle name around like a pejorative? He's not related to Saddam Hussein. He probably has fewer ties to the Arab world than Bush. I actually heard someone on talk radio say she wouldn't vote for Obama because she didn't want one of "those people" in the White House. So she was either racist against blacks or Muslims. Laughable because Bush had a pretty open door policy on dealing with Muslims for the past 8 years, and Obama is, of course, NOT Muslim.
Corellion's political cartoon makes sense on very few levels. Is it perpetuating the Harold Ford smear campaign, lampooning it, repudiating it? Or was the "call me" added later, in which case it was takinga lame commercial and saying that any American voting for Obama is just a dumb bimbo?
Haha, the reason we use it is because it's just funny. I'm sure some try to use it against him, and it works with the 'those people' woman. Bush definitely has more ties to the arab world than Barack, after all, he is trying to colonize the place for the largest business embassy in the east.
The cartoon is making a point of how he's not positively for anything in public, he's just 100% rhetoric. If he took as many stances on issues in the white house as he does in hs ads, he'd be the greatest president this nation would know, because what we need now (as always) is someone willing to say hell no to bad ideas, like, every idea put before government. He does have the Oprah celebrity cult thing going for him, but Hitlery has the militiarized anti-right thing, both just as dangerous.
Neither one are people capable of leading this nation, but for different reasons. I'll take assinine over agendized anyday. We don't have the choice though, as we don't count the votes. There's no more Constitution, and there's no more law, there's just what they're chosing to enforce today. It's a hrase reality, but it's a reality more Americans are waking up to face every day. The only minimal control the people still have are in local elections, which is why seats for congress and senate are SOOOO valuable to keep as pure as possible. Don't elect politicians, elect people. And when the pigs start turning to farmers, its already too late.

Then you obviously didn't see his speech tonight. He got behind a LOT of issues, just a few off the top of my head, helping the economy, getting affordable healthcare to all, getting us out of Iraq now, stopping the tax breaks for the rich and businesses that move their business out of the country, etc. etc. He quite possibly CAN be the best president we've ever known if the racist, uber-religious, and generally stupid don't get in the way. I've never been as impressed with a candidate as I am continually by Obama. I implore you all to seek out his speeches and see what he is about. He is the real deal.
What does all this crap mean?!?! If someone could supply me with a link that would explain it to me in very elementary terms(or explain it here in this thread themselves) I would be very likely to register to vote for the first time ever! (course its probably too late in California)
Lets say I want Obama to win, why does it matter that he lost some kind of Super Tuesday vote in my state today? This isn't the primaries, is it? And if it isn't the primaries, can't I still vote for him when it actually matters?
Ahh ignore me.
or help me.
EDIT: I don't care about the cartoon, I just don't know why we vote so many goddamn times!! I am one American, I should have only one vote! That vote should count towards one candidate! That vote should take place on one day! Not the apan of a year and a half! If it does not, then my vote doesn't really count.
Obama vs Hilary is actually depressing to me
I've seen him talk about issues, and while he may think he is right (I hope) he's dead wrong. Gov't is a cancer that destroys everything it touches. Gov't intervention has been destroying the economy (federal reserve, corporate welfare) medical care (gov't regulation which has been adding up over the years), foreign relations (refer to CFR globalization methods, attempts to establish commerce centers in the middle east via Iraq war, CIA establishing dictatorships) and taxes, which should not exist.
Obama won't win, I'll say that right now, because he is not a part of the CFR push. (And if he is, I'm unaware of it). It's no surprise we're hd Bushes and Clintons the past 12 years and why we'll have them again (either with Hitlery or Bush's carbon copy, McCain). They're all the same, they're all pro war, pro taxes, pro federal reserve, anti gun, pro amnesty, pro pattriot act, etc.
Oh yeah, and where was Obama when REAL-ID was going through? He voted for that vile shiite! He wants to brand and track us like animals, and wants to put me in prison personally, because I am one of the many people in this country who will die before surrendering my right to keep and bear arms. And health care - what the hell do people think the government is going to do with it? Its going to cost the same, but now, a gun will be pointed at you FORCING you to pay for it! The simplest realization is that gov't is simply force at gunpoint. Pay, or go to prison, or die. It is evil.
"Government is not reason; it is not eloquence; it is force! Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master."
Who said that? Some crazy libertarian psuedo-anarchist like myself? Ted Nugent? No, that's actually George Washington. Read your Constitutions, people. Both federal and state, you'll be surprised what is being done to you illegally.
Squeek, Tuesday was the primary vote. Primaries are used for each party to determine who will run for the office of President. It's basically just a way of seeing who's most popular/electable across the country so the party can plan a winning strategy.
For extra humor, watch the right-wing blogosphere implode as they try to reconcile themselves that McCain won big last night and Huckabee rose from the dead to beat Romney...
unfortunatly, I was hasty in my vote and did not vote for who I now wish I did..
I hope I didn't just destroy our future : (
I think had Ross Perot ran now, he'd be in for sure.
I wish that were the case. Usually the 'anybody but (x)' campaigns don't work out too well, but they're worth it in this election, anybody but the nominees on both sides. And everyone else who ran and had a chance.
GIGGAN - well, not sure how to respond to that. Unfortunately, we have a government in place, and it isn't going away. That being said, I think OBAMA has the best chance to make positive change. Nobody is trying to take your gun away, as far as I know. I think OBAMA can beat Hillary. Can he beat McCain? I think he can. If you have to get behind somebody, please get behind OBAMA.
And for those in TEXAS and OHIO we need your support for the primary. Please consider OBAMA.
Obama wants to take my guns, force me to pay into a health care system I don't support, among paying for millions of other programs I don't support, will track me like an animal with the National ID card, and will imprison or kill me if I refuse to be a slave to that system. I can't support that.
Kudos to him on some things, such as minor anti-prohibition statements he's made, and his constant opposition to the war (he didn't support it before even I didn't support it). But they don't redeem a million other unexcusable positions.
Hitlery and McCain support the same shiite. Don't worry, we have common enemies. Hope he smokes Hitlery, then i don't care who wins the general, cause from there it's the same.
