Comments on: Obama/Biden http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/cosmicvariance/2008/08/23/obamabiden/ Random samplings from a universe of ideas.

To me the democrats supported immorality when they supported the "Gay" agenda. and have lost my vote as a lifelong democrat as a result of that support. I will not vote Republican because it is just as immoral to profit from war and make excessive profit from oil. The democratic party needs to support moral issues as well and not sell out. You cannot call evil good. We need health care, fair wages and since when did the labor union become a dirty word? We need fuel effitient cars NOW. It took me 30 years to get my VA benefits after winning two CUE victories in the federal VA system. No more lip service, the democrats have not solved our energy problems either, so you are just as responsible for our plight. All we ever get is failed promises while you guys play the middle and get persuaded by lobbyists. I hope you get the message! Issues that concern me:

The only FRAUD that happened with the Dems is Hillary being slick and pushing to have votes counted in TWO states where HER NAME WAS THE ONLY NAME ON THE BALLOT!! What a joke. Despite that, Obama still got 18 mill - she got 18 mill. After trying to run a general election campaign during the primary and going for blood with Obama - personally demeaning and deriding him multiple times while ENDORSING the opposing PARTY'S candidate (!?!?!?!) - she left Obama with NO choice - he had to look in another direction. The job of a president is to "preserve, protect and defend" the constitution, as a constitutional law professor (former president of the Harvard Law Review) he is well able to do that. More importantly, millions agree with his vision. McCain is a war hero. Great. I'm not trying to elect a bellicose war hero with a hair-trigger temperament. I'm electing a president whose judgment and vision I agree with. Elect McCain and you fools DESERVE what you get - wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Iran and God knows where else. Unofrtunately - the real Democrats will have to suffer along with the ride. kurt, What an ASS you are.

Let us keep in mind that anybody he chose would have been a person who has been in the political system for quite sometime. So to imply that he won't command change because his VP isn't a valid representation of change is crazy. Let us be honest, Obama has very little foreign policy experience, and that really is the only thing that has kicked this man in the head over and over. So of course, he was going to pick Biden. What other option did he have? Hillary would have been the best choice, if she would not have been so down right dirty in her attacks on his campaign. She was just ruthless, and I, myself just did not like her after this year. I just don't know what to say about her. She called his constituents stupid, for even standing up and saying we wanted change and HOPE. We are supposed to be the country that believes in hope. And yet every chance we get That is why America stands. That is why our country is a melting pot. It is not perfect. It is going to take time, I am hoping not a whole lot of time, because we, as Americans don't have time. Our economic basis is shrinking, our money is shrinking in value, and truth be told, I don't think we could survive another 4 years of Republicans. I was amazed that they got the last 4 years, but I digress. Bush's past 8 years have put us in such a whole, I cannot even fathom how any President can bounce back from this. So, even as I hope and pray that Obama-Biden wins in November, I also hope and pray, that our politicians realize the urgency in unification, and just get on board. All this distension in amongst the parties and within the parties, needs to stop. Because with all of our hope, they are the ones who govern, control, and need to fix these problems. All we can do is rant, rave, and every now and again riot. What can I say about Obama’s choice.
