Sorry Pete,
Romney is a Mormon. His scenario is akin to that of Kennedy a Catholic (only won by a rigged election in Chicago-Cook county), but worse since Mormons are not Christians: they believe Christ is a god, God the father is a god, the Holy Spirit is a god, and you too can transform into a god (celestial realm). This is not the trinity and presents a paganized version of Christianity made tolerable for the modern era. Did you know that in the Mormon temple they marry the dead and babtize the dead? They also want to establish god’s kingdom on earth and purge the earth of all non-Mormon believers, similar to extremist or radical Muslims. All the other candidates are full Christians not heaven-bent on world domination and purification.

Second, Romney is a flip-flopper. Consider from his time in office as Governor compared to his political campaign the man cannot stick to one side of an issue. He changed his stance politically on all core issues that matter to Republicans; who is to say he can be trusted not to switch back?

Mit Romney, a pseudo-Republican and psuedo-Christian.

Obama - it is time for real change. it is time for someone who wants to find real solutions, it is time for someone who is willing to work with both sides of the political spectrum, it is time to change the direction of the country both economically as well as respect with other countries.

I agree with several previous bloggers, and my first position is: “none of the above”. But for me, that’s an unacceptable non-response. While I have a problem with Obama’s “unshamedly black” affiliation, overall I have fewer doubts about (more confidence in?)Obama in general. So it appears that I’ll support Obama, at least at this level. I have serious doubts about McCain, in that I feel he lacks both leadership skills and and the ability to work with Democrats, and even some (most?) Republicans. Obama’s fresh approach may give him an edge in that respect. I feel more comfortable with Obama’s plan to establish affordable healthcare, and I seriously wonder if Hilliary would ever get around to getting it done (read: “apathy”). At this point, I can’t imagine that either McCain or Romney has the charisma or leadership skills to pull off the election. Hilliary is just another beer in the icebox, and she too lacks the magnetic charm to attract the masses. When you look at the total picture, Obama appears at this point to be the only candidate who can effect real change. Hope he (and others around him) don’t screw up his opportunities with more racially-divisive remarks!

Any one but Billary

Yeah, a “proper” Christian is what this country really needs. I mean, hasn’t GWB, a fervent believe in The Good Book, done wonders in his leadership?!? Jesus, I pray that You protect us from Your followers! Cynicism implied.

Obama!

As a Republican-leaning independent, I can tell you why I will vote for Barack Obama if he is the Democratic nominee but I will not vote for Hillary Clinton if she is the Democratic nominee.

Barack Obama’s “purported” limited experience doesn’t even register as a problem for me when I compare it with the problem I have with Hillary Clinton’s character.

A person’s character is shaped and tested by their experiences which is why our next President’s character should matter as much if not more than their experience.

1969 - While Barack Obama was being raised by a single mother and experiencing a life of racial and cultural diversity, Hillary Clinton was learning the art of triangulation and writing an admiring college thesis on Saul Alinsky whose fifth rule of political agitation was, “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.”

1979 - While Barack Obama was actively involved in the South African divestment movement to end apartheid, Hillary was reaping profits of almost 10,000% in the futures markets and leaving taxpayers with her real-estate losses in the Savings & Loan bailout.

1989 - While Barack Obama served as the Harvard Law Review’s first black president in its 104 year history, Hillary Clinton then wife of the Arkansas governor was receiving payments from a law firm that was doing the state’s business and receiving board of director payments from Wal-Mart where she remained silent about Wal-Mart’s anti-labor union practices.

1999 - While Barack Obama was securing bipartisan support for health-care reform and passage of low-income tax credits and child care subsidies in the Illinois legislature, Hillary Clinton was urging her husband to bomb Yugoslavia and supporting his Iraq “regime change” policy in order to divert public attention from the president’s marital, legal and ethical infidelities.

2007 - While Barack was promoting a restoration of balance between work and wealth and criticizing special interests for distorting U.S. tax codes, Hillary and her husband were liquidating their blind trust of the nearly $50 million amassed during their years in public office.

Hillary Clinton’s positions on the issues are all based on political expediency with the goal of being president. Like her husband, Hillary has no attachment to any position, no leadership qualities and no legal, ethical or moral compass to guide her. Also like her husband, she will need to rely on the polls to guide her to a position.

Barack Obama possesses the leadership, principles and visionary qualities of character needed to unite and not divide our country as the global economy teeters on the brink of economic meltdown not unlike the Great Depression.

Afterall the Roaring Twenties decade that preceded the Great Depression, like the Irrational Nineties that preceded our current decade, were both a golden age for technology, scandal-plagued politicians, corporate greed, and unrestrained personal debt and speculation.

I’ve always voted Democratic but this year I’m voting for Romney. It’s my way of getting even with all the Fundamentalists Christian far “right-wing” conservative Republicans who were so narrow minded they gave us “death row executioner”… war monger….., Iraqi family killer…, spit on the poor.. Bush/Cheney/Halliburton for 8 years….

I want these idiots to be limited to voting for either a black, a woman, or a mormon in November.
They deserve it.

Tough call, but I have to go with Obama. I think we need to break the Bush/Clinton/Bush/Clinton lock, and I believe that Obama has at least a slim chance of getting elected in November. We have to look ahead and, cynically enough, I simply cannot see a woman named Clinton having a prayer in the general election. Of course, I will vote for any Democrat on the ballot. On the Republican side, I really hope McCain sweeps Super Tuesday, to put to rest any possibility of the truly frightening prospect of either Romney or Huckabee getting in.

I will vote for Hillary Clinton because unlike Obama, she has brought about real change to this country. People can talk all they want about the possibility of change, but it is far better to vote for someone who has a proven record of change, someone who is ready on day one to meet the challenges left by the previous administration. People are tired of false promises and individuals who require extensive on-the-job training. Americans want someone who can deliver change effectively and decisively as President.

Please go out and vote for Hillary, the meaning of real, meaningful change and proven results!!
