What is wrong with you people? Do you not understand that we're not at a good point in our history?

Question

Hillary. Supports say for her, "Well all politicians lie." "Well most politicians are funded by lobbyists." "Well some politicians flipflop."

Do you not understand that the status quo of politics is NOT working? And not just because of the Bush administration. We've had problems of the elected officials ignoring the people long before. They do what ever they can to be reelected. They take money from lobbyists and are bound by them.

We don't have time to go through another 4 years of this.

We need a candidate who is against lobbyists. Who is for uniting our country, the left and right. The problem with Hillary and Romney is that most people are basically in the middle of political standing. Hillary is too left. Romney is too right.

If you don't realize the hell that this country is going through, then vote for Hillary. You DESERVE her. But if you see the things that I see, take a look at other candidates. Candidates who offer a change is how we perceive politics.

OBAMA '08!

Answer 2

You know, Mitt Romney doesn't need anything from lobbyists. He's a multi-millionaire. He could have funded his entire campaign from start to finish out of his own pockets without breaking a sweat. He's not beholden to any special interests, and he's certainly not in support of the status quo.

Let's take a look at his style of making decisions, the method he used successfully as a businessman and Governor: he gathers all of the information that can be gathered, listens to absolutely every side of every argument, has rigorous and thorough (and intelligent) debate, and once he has learned and heard as much as he can, then he makes a decision.

After all this time, who wouldn't love to have a president like that?

Answer 3

Actually, when I took the candidate calculator..there was not a lot of difference between Obama, Edwards, Clinton and Paul. See my results and try it for yourself.

Illinois Senator Barack Obama (D) - 44.68%
New York Senator Hillary Clinton (D) - 42.55%
Former North Carolina Senator John Edwards (D) - 42.55%
Texas Representative Ron Paul (R) - 40.43%

VOTE LIBERTARIAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 5

Sorry but unless Obama is the 2nd coming of JFK I don't see him getting much of the popular vote.

I realize what is happening to the country and I think Hil-Bil 2 would be an unmitigated disaster for this country.

That doesn't mean I'm about to vote for either a 3rd party candidate or the greenest politician on the Hill.

Answer 6

Neither the Dem or Rep parties can deliver. They both have to protect loyalties to their contributors. We need a truly independent candidate that is free to made decisions based on what is best for America not what is best for their party campaign contributors. We also need an American population that is not manipulated by whoever has the largest campaign war chest. Congress also needs reform, no more lobbyists, no more special interest and corporate perks. The Government of the People by the People needs to take its country back.

Answer 7

I hate to tell you this, but Obama is much further to the left that Hillary. For example, Hillary finally came out against drivers licenses for illegals after being for it and being against it before that (but that was before the NY AG was for it) understand? In any event, in the last debate she said she was against drivers licenses for illegals while Obama said he was in favor, but its not something he would propose.

About 80% of people are opposed to drivers licenses for people who shouldn't be here and Obama is on the wrong side of that and many other issues.

Answer 8

Why don't you follow your own advice..

Senator Obama is BACKED by lobbyists.
From www.politifact.com
"In his speeches and his TV ads, Barack Obama criticizes the influence of lobbyists.

"I know that I haven't spent a lot of time learning the ways of Washington," he says in the television spot. "But I've been there long enough to know that the ways of Washington must change."

The announcer says, "He's leading by example, refusing contributions from PACs and Washington lobbyists who have too much power today."

But his anti-lobbyist policy includes one caveat and a few loopholes that weaken his claim to be funding his political campaign in a way that's truly different from his competitors.

He almost always qualifies his statement to note that he won't take money from federal lobbyists, a distinction that allows him to accept money from well-connected state lobbyists.

For example, South Florida lobbyist Russ Klenet and his wife will host a fundraising event in Broward County for Obama on August 25. Klenet represents state groups such as the Florida Association of Mortgage Brokers, but also companies such as Match.com and Election Systems & Software.

And Obama still accepts tens of thousands of dollars from people who work for Washington firms that do substantial lobbying. Former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle is an Obama contributor who isn't a registered lobbyist, but works as a consultant for Alston & Bird, a lobbying firm in Washington.

The Center for Responsive Politics found that Obama accepted $55,019 from employees at lobbying firms, and much more from companies that are not classified as lobbying firms but have lobbying divisions."


And how exaclty does Obama offer change? he voted in favor of reauthorizing the Patriot Act, he cannot commit to withdrawing the troops out of Iraq by 2013, possibly later.. He hasn't ruled out using strikes against Iran, not to mention the same vote he criticizes Hillary for, he missed himself and sponsored the exact same legislation designating the IRG a terrorist organization in back in April.. He implied that he would invade Pakistan, without the consent of their government.. He made votes making it more difficult for average citizens to sue big corporations.. He has no consistency on the issues of social security and taxes, in the very beginning he was for raising the cap, then having all options on the table, then appointing a bipartisan commission, now he's back to raising the cap.. He promises "change" but he has neither the substance, the experience, nor desire to deliver this change..

Answer 9

Great post. Google Ron Paul. Watch some of his videos on YouTube. Doesn't take long.
