I'm not interested in hearing why you aren't supporting another candidate or reasons only based on race, gender or religion.
Please provide links to show they actually support those views because many times opinion is distributed as fact with nothing to base it upon.

Wow thanks for the response. It probably would have been a good idea to ask that everyone provide which candidate they are voting for.
It is really interesting that when most of the criteria used for selection seems to be based on race, gender or TV ads to see some thought put into the answers. Thanks

Obama.
(1) He would be a true bi-partisan president as he would have and equal cabinet from Democrats to Republicans, some of those Republicans as reported by ABC's Sunlen Miller Reports are : Sens. Dick Lugar, Chuck Hagel and Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger from California. http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalradar/2007/12/obama-says-hed.html
(2) He is FOR "affordable college tuition" and an "affordable health care policy" rather than the welfare programs that are being offered by his opponents. http://iowa.barackobama.com/page/content/iowahome
(3) He is a candidate for the common good and higher interest of the country. http://www.siouxcityjournal.com/articles/2007/12/23/news_opinion/editorial/19ffa0edb447abe8862573b9006549ef.prt

AN ARDENT DESIRE FOR CHANGE
is behind this groundswell of support. History is being written here and American politics are changing forever.
Why I Support Ron Paul
Some people believe that Ron Paul is just an Internet fad, backed by spammers and young people on the Internet who have no real grasp on the issues. I can understand why some people think that -- that's what I thought for a long time.
I continued hearing more and more about Ron Paul from friends, so one day last month I decided to take a close look at him and all the other candidates. I have been supporting dems most of my adult life mostly because of their stand on social issues which arle closte to the issues when comparing to my views and principals. After looking at Ron Paul, I was shocked at what I found, and have never looked back since.
First, I think we need out of the war NOW. Second, I think the goverment is way to involved with our personal lives and I want them out NOW. What I want is (Three) CHANGE. Change is something people of this election cycle want, and Change is something that will set apart a candidate from all the others.
Ron Paul is honest not a sell out and a liar. I believe Ron Paul means change.

He is independent to tough questions and honest to an swear , and not relying on partners or husband to defend her with her so called 'experienced'..
She should say it boldly before the public that her husband has no influence on any of her decisions if she is truly honest to the citizen.,with all these I think it is ripe enough for Americans to have independent president not a camouflage.
Clinton family is not the only best family in America and a repetition of Bush family coming into power should not be welcome again..otherwise in few years the presidency will be in rotations amongst some sacred family..
With experience of Clinton what is the result of Katrina people ?.
OBAMA IS THE BEST PERSON IN THIS RACE '08

An end to the war in Iraq and in my opinion (and the opinion of our own intelligence if you read the 9/11 commision report) a safer America
An end to NAFTA which does not benefit American. Mexican, or Canadian workers, only Corporations who benefit from the lack of borders, and cheaper labor.
Elimination of the IRS and a chance to stop the decline of the dollar

Conservative/Traditional values.
Abortion is given back to the states to decide. One more conservative Supreme Justice and this will happen.
No gay marriage. Do what you want in private, but we cannot sanction marriage for gays.
Close the borders and make the 20-30 million illegals disappear over the next 5 years.
End forced cultural diversity.
Give terrorist hell and never waver.
Bring back American jobs, especially by making China trade fairly. Also, stop buying so much poison and junk from slave labor nations.

I support Ron Paul because..
-wants to withdraw ALL troops from Middle East, and other places unneeded like Japan, and S. Korea.
-wants limited government, and downsize unneeded things like Dept. of Education, they swallow money that is suppose to go to schools, IRS, FederalReserve, FEMA, and Homeland Security. (we pay more taxes to sustain from going out of business) in other words, they're thefts.
-advocates we listen to our Founding Fathers advice "entangle alliances with none" and withdraw from UN and NATO, he isn't an isolationist, he's a non-interventionist.
-and i have one more reason, he's a strict Constitutionalist, he has libertarian and republican traditional views, elected as a Congressman 10 times as a republican, and the only conservative one out of the rest of the GOP.
