You should let loose and really say what you feel. It's just not good for you! Ha ha.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, in response, I agree. I think it's about time we had a candidate that inspired people, and I just hope he means it.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16701455956622274201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-480452932694284544.post-56602647806308907132008-07-30T21:10:00.000-04:002008-07-30T21:10:00.000-04:00In the interest of full disclosure, I am a staunch...In the interest of full disclosure, I am a staunch left winger.....<BR/><BR/>While warm fuzzies do not equal sincerity, I personally think that Obama's "warm fuzzies" are more due to the fact that he is open to possibility. People often say, "One person doesn't do anything", however if the wrong group of people (our current administration) get into power and twist facts to promote an agenda, well, we all know where that gets us. For me, the biggest draw about Obama is that he is capable of being flexible and open to (I hate to say it) change. Sen. McCain is just John McBush. He has no true platform for getting us out of any mess that the US has gotten itself into over the past 8 years (war, oil prices, inflation, ecomomy, and mortgage mess). I see him as a continuation of our war-mongering president that we currently have. Of course I take any campaign promises with a grain of salt. Nobody can deliver everything that is mentioned, however, in the end, we have to vote with our hearts and our minds. What is truly important to me is universal healthcare, the war, the economy, a woman’s right to choose, the environment. Overall, Barack Obama’s stance on all of these issues (campaign promises or not) far outweigh any stance that his opponent has.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14469996295654371569noreply@blogger.com
