Obama or Hillary: Who's Side Are You On?

The Democratic primary is getting interesting. Obama's got more states than Hillary but her few states are key states (New York, California, New Hampshire). This puts her ahead of Obama but it's still anyone's race. I live in Virginia and our democrats are divided. While most of the liberal dems are in favor of Obama, Hillary is using the pull of her name and status as a woman to try to give her an edge. I'm not being discriminatory, but that's how it workd with common people. My mother wants Hillary in the Presidential race because she's a woman. I'm very dissapointed in her.

Obama is what we need. The Republicans know they can't win the Presidency if Obama is running. They want Hillary because the Clinton name carries a lot of baggage with it in the eyes of the people. A large part of her success is the endorsment of her husband Bill Clinton, who most of America loved. Obama is getting by on raw political drive moreso than Hillary, has pwned several other democratic candidates in discussions, and had made use of the media to get his name and face out. The Superbowl, the Daily Show, he even has the approval of liberal political shows like Bill Maher. Don't let the fact that he's making you laugh fool you, Bill puts forth a lot of politics and logic.

I sound like I'm pushing Obama here, and by and large I am. I'm a liberal democrat, I feel that Obama is the best hope for change in our government. If you don't agree with me, please feel free to put forth your argument for Hillary or another democratic candidate (this is a democrat thread after all) and make your case. Let's get a political dialogue going, eh?

In closing, Obama for '08!

You think people actually research each candidate's policies? No, they judge by looks, gender & the way they talk. What? What!? Yes, it's true. Even I am guilty of that. You want the actual reasons people are voting for specific candidates, here they are.

1. People are voting for Obama because he is black, no it's not the other way around, people really are voting for Obama because he's black & it's something new. Everyone wants a first black president. THAT will show the world how fair us Americans will. That is what we are thinking.

2. People are voting for Hillary because she is a woman & has the Clinton name. Everyone knows that her husband was a great president, that's why people are voting for her. And again, having a woman is something new, it just depends on what makes us seem more fair, a woman or a black man.

3. People are voting for Mccain because he is the only picture president. He fits the demographic. Hes an old, successful white man. He fits. Those people will vote for Mccain because they are not used to, or do not believe in things that are new & untested.

Again it's not about fucking policies. It's about how tall they are, what's their color, are they religious, what's their gender, do they like chocolate, etc. America is fucking stupid & it's about time people should realize that. Can anyone here even name 5 policies from the candidate that their voting for? Probably not, so before you vote, ask yourself, why are you voting for Obama, Hillary, or Mccain.; ▶ Reply to This

Hell, I'd vote for a rocking chair before I'd cast one for one of the ~~Neo-Fascist~~, sorry, Republican field.; ▶ Reply to This

A big reason I don't watch debates is because the candidates traditionally ignore the questions they're asked. This hasn't been the case this year (even among the Republicans), but Clinton is still debating like it's 2004. It's a pet peeve of mine, and it makes me want to kill.; ▶ Reply to This
