That is my business and no one elses I have a feeling that many people did not vote for that same reason because this year we did not have to choose a party.

Kirbyjon Caldwell who presided over Bush's inauguration twice and officiated at Jenna Bush's wedding but is supporting Obama.

1. Obama is weak and naïve on foreign affairs. Americans understand that there are evil forces in the world that want to destroy us and our way of life. When it comes to protecting America, especially, Americans want the president of the United States to have courage and show resolve.

2. Obama’s proposed tax policies will cripple the economy. History has shown that tax cuts (across the board) boost the economy because cuts put extra cash in the pockets of working Americans, and when that happens people spend, invest, and build, all beneficial components of a strong economy.

3. Obama is wrong on energy policy. At a rate of 70%, Americans support off shore oil drilling. Americans want drilling for the obvious reasons that we need to heat our homes, and drive our cars, but also because it makes sense to exploit our own resources instead of paying for oil elsewhere. There is a way to accomplish this goal without losing sight that alternate forms of energy is the way of the future.

4. Obama’s abortion policies are too radical. Obama cannot hide from his record, when in 2003 as chairman of an Illinois state Senate committee, he “voted down a bill to protect live-born survivors of abortion – even after the panel had amended the bill to contain verbatim language, copied from a federal bill passed by Congress without objection in 2002.” [Emphasis added] Obama’s relentless support of liberal abortion laws, regardless of the consequences, puts him at odds with most Americans.

5. Obama’s curious associations leaves much to be desired. The following is a short list of Obama’s curious associations: Liberation theology Pastor Jeremiah Wright; Convicted felon Tony Rezco; American traitor William Ayers; Terrorist sympathizers Code Pink.



Here are mine:

1. He’s a total left wing nut case that makes Kerry look like a bleeding moderate.
2. He has never done a blinking thing of note.
3. Hes all talk and no action.
4. Hes a coward who will not stick up for his friends.
5. He has no core values he will not change to get elected.

Obama: Most Liberal Senator In 2007

Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., was the most liberal senator in 2007, according to National Journal's 27th annual vote ratings. The insurgent presidential candidate shifted further to the left last year in the run-up to the primaries, after ranking as the 16th- and 10th-most-liberal during his first two years in the Senate.

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., the other front-runner in the Democratic presidential race, also shifted to the left last year. She ranked as the 16th-most-liberal senator in the 2007 ratings, a computer-assisted analysis that used 99 key Senate votes, selected by NJ reporters and editors, to place every senator on a liberal-to-conservative scale in each of three issue categories. In 2006, Clinton was the 32nd-most-liberal senator.

In their yearlong race for the Democratic presidential nomination, Obama and Clinton have had strikingly similar voting records. Of the 267 measures on which both senators cast votes in 2007, the two differed on only 10. "The policy differences between Clinton and Obama are so slight they are almost nonexistent to the average voter," said Richard Lau, a Rutgers University political scientist.
