Too Late To Swap Obama For McCain?

Personally, I don't buy the cookie cutter 'one size fits all' label definitions. There are left wing conservatives & right wing liberals. It changes from issue to issue. Politics & political ideology is spherical. You can't assume someone's position on an issue based on their position from another issue. Nobody's really in lockstep. Not even the "dittoheads". It doesn't work that way, despite the memes. President Obama has the best chance in decades to blow at least some of this partisan rancor out of the water. If you're going to strive for ideological purity, you're always going to be disappointed. All I ask is a coherent vision & a pragmatic approach.

the OP is clearly not conservative...he voted for Nader...and the rest of his agenda was clearly NOT conservative.

Well, see, he said McCain was the better choice.

But I'm just going to go ahead and say something with no proof or evidence at all like some people did.


Uhhhh.....no he's not.

It's ok to be critical, it's not ok to be critical with no facts or real criticisms.

I regret voting for Obama but the fact is, that there were no other good choices. Obama seemed to be the lesser of multiple evils, McCain team being the worst threat to national security (Sarah Palin). The last thing we need is Palin anywhere near the White House.

I regret voting Obama because he violated the 13th Amendment, a very important one. He introduced HR1388 (GIVE Act) which basically legalized slavery to the government, "compulsory volunteer corps". Not many people seem to have heard about this. All the severe violations of the Constitution seem to go unnoticed. Basically, it states that certain age groups are required to perform a certain amount of hours of MANDITORY VOLUNTEER work (WTF is Manditory Volunteer??). For example, high school kids will be required to do like 100 hours of compulsory volunteer work for a year. College aged people will be required to do like 500 hours and they even have one for senior citizens (elderly people forced into labor???).

I believe the 13th Amendment states "Neither Slavery nor INVOLUNTARY SERVITUDE except as punishment wherein a person has been duly convicted of a crime shall exist within the United States of America."

This law, proposed and introduced and written by Obama and his Administration will cause much disruption and damage to the country, especially when the protests turn to riots and police start dying (already happening). The majority of people are not going to allow the government to force them into labor, especially when they already have school, jobs and lives to deal with. This country is going to fall apart if rights keep being taken away and Obama is NOT helping the situation.

I'm also keeping my eye on the ACTA law which gives law enforcement the right to search personal electronic devices without warrants at any given moment and confiscate them if anything illegal (music, movies, games) is found on them.

McCain is washed up and his daughter is a "Useful Idiot" for the Democrats. He would have been good to have as President around 9/11, but his Time came and went well before the 2008 Primary.

I would have liked to see Mitt Romney or Ron Paul tackling this financial crisis. It seriously looked like McCain had half a platform during the general.

Foreign Policy, Foreign Policy, where the HELL was his Domestic Policy?

Well I'm from Arizona, & I don't regret voting for Barack Obama at all. Not even a little bit. I knew exactly what I was getting, & my only disappointment is that he hasn't changed his mind on Afghanistan. I don't know why everybody's so wierded out about his policies. He's doing exactly what he told everybody he was going to do before November. There's been a setback or 2. & there'll be more. Nobody's perfect, & the President doesn't control Congress.


Kitty,
I ain't buying that one bit. Did you actually read that somewhere or'd you just pull it out of your ass? Got a source? How about a link? What? You don't think reinstatement of the draft would make the news somewhere? What a crock.

Good post Kaiti. I am very familiar with both pieces of legislature you speak of. Glad to see somebody isn't getting the wool pulled over their eyes.

Oh, you're familiar? Well every piece of legislation has a number. What is it? C'mon. Back up the lie.

Figure it out for yourself. Turn off CNN or Fox News and do some reading. I will not spoon feed you. And guess what, it ain't no fabrication.
