I know in one of my previous threads alot of BO supporters asked why I dislike him so much and I feel I wasnt able to express my reasons very eloquently and could provide very few links to the stuff I read over the previous months. I found some videos that will provoke some thought for you BO supporters, Im not trying to pick a fight but these videos show many of the things I have read from numerous sources about his past. You can take them as political propaganda or not but the facts speak for themselves.

Need to speak Spanish? Nice fact, Obama doesnt speak Spanish

While some parts of the videos are a bit sensationalised you cant deny his links to "bad" people are just too great for him to be the leader of our country. Even if it means electing McCain which Im NOT a supporter of but any vote other then for him is a vote for BO so...

 

I really don't support either of them, but it seems that BO is in favor of change and IMO that is what our country needs the most is a change... Not another member of the "Good ole Boys club".... I mean pretty much the last few Presidents we have had are cut from a similar mold... Just my .02, oh and I am in favor of getting our troops out of Iraq and Pakistan and keeping our nose out of other countries business and try focusing on fixing our problems instead of everyone elses...

 

I'm in the same boat not a huge McCain advocate but I will gladly vote against Obomber

 

I agree with you to a certain extent, not a whole lot will change with McCain but with Obama the chances of him changing things for the worse with his track record and inexperience frighten me. Im for keeping our troops in Iraq as long as it takes to get things lined out otherwise if we leave now it will be back where it was a few years ago and it was all for nothing. I dont think we should play world police and need to get out of that business for sure, it is costing us too much money and too many american lives. I still believe we need to protect out interests like the Iran/Israel deal since they supply alot of crude and would skyrocket gas prices, but if we start drilling and refining domestically I could give a rats *** what they do over there blowing themselves up its been going on for thousands of years and we arent dependent on them for our economy(if we drill and refine here in teh future). We need to focus on getting so many of dead beats off welfare and the immigration problem fixed, do you really think a national healthcare system is the way to go? Higher taxes and medical for everyone who is not willing ot work for it? I sure as hell dont like supporting all the dead beats in this country as it is much less even more if he is elected. You gotta look at the good and the bad of the cadidates and I think BO has alot more bad points then good points. I dont think McCain is the man to run this country but at this point he is all we have. This is the reason we have the freedom to vote, I jsut wish more people would have voted for the guy I really liked but got kicked out pretty early on.

 

Well I agree with you on some of the points, except the Iraq thing and drilling... IMO it is a no win situation and that needs to be realized... IMO if the Iraqi people would like us to stay, then they need to pay for it, not us (our soliders lives and taxes payers money)... For example: I read something the other day that US soldiers have to pay something like 3.50+ for gas for the transports and tanks, when Iraqi citzens play less than half of that... If that is not a slap in the face then I don't know what is... Yes Education, immigration (I live in Texas so I know the problems), energy production, etc all need to be fixed and Gov't oversight brought in....

 

There are training programs implemented so that the Iraqi people can eventually take over their country and run it. Making a successful self-governing country run is not an overnight deal. I do think its f'ed that we dont get their oil for helping them out but there was recently a deal signed with the major oil companies of the US that stated that they(US oil companies) would go in and fix the oil wells and in return would get greatly discounted barrels of oil. Its a step in the right direction, most americans are victims of their our doing, the gimme now, gotta have it now types who are drowned in debt. I myself screwed up with my credit cards but I fixed that and will never use one a again I like to think of it as part of growing up but time will tell if I can resist the urge to over-extend myself like so many of the american people have.

 

I was for obama at first, but now i dont like either of them

 

not too fond of either of them but BOs speech about how the america people need to learn spanish as well as his taxing bigger business plans scare me away from him.

 

I still wish Ron Paul had a shot. Why is it that the guys who want to get us back to our constitutional roots never get any support?

 

I think he could've dodged one of those bullets by suggesting Americans learn a 2nd language instead of strictly spanish.
