To paraphrase Blaise Pascal, a great philosopher: Let us weigh the gain and loss in wagering that Obama will do as he's promised, and end the war in Iraq, repeal unconstitutional laws/executive orders, close Gitmo, end torture, etc. Let us estimate these two chances. If you gain, you gain all. If you lose, you lose nothing. Wager then, without hesitation, that he will.

“‘Yes,’ he murmured, ‘it was a good play; I will have it performed again.”’
No no, b-b-BOP-p-p-bop bop bop...
I refuse to vote for either McCain or Obama. 1) They both want to keep non-combat troops in Iraq until 2013. 2) They both oppose torture. 3)They both favor Amnesty for Illegal Aliens. We are currently paying $130 a barrel to import 4.4 billion barrels of oil. If we pass amnesty and increase our imported oil bill to 5 billion barrela at $200 per barrel, then both McCain and Obama are saying that they will bounce trillion dollar checks to buy imported oil for the immigrants until the government figures out what to do and implements those policies. 4) McCain held a fund raiser in London with the blessings of the Rothschilds. Obama gave the selection of his VP to James Johnson a member of the CFR, Trilateral Commission and the Bilderberg Society. Both McCain and Obama serve the interests of the Rockefellers and the Rothschilds. McCain has been talking nonsense about Iran, but Obama has said we should invade Pakistan to get Osama. Osama has been dead since 2001. I would not invade Pakistan even if Osama were alive as he had nothing to do with 9-11. I will write in Ron Paul. America is about to die. It remains to be seen if it will be reborn. I refuse to vote for any candidate who does obeisance to the Rockefellers and the Rothschilds.
The Truth of 911 Shall Set You Free From The Lie
Why are you advocating voting "major party" and perpetuating the real problem? My vote has not been earned by a major party frontrunner and I shall be writing in Ron Paul in November. Dr. Paul has earned my vote. Others have not. If this changes, you will be alerted.
McCain/Obama '08 -- Because the next step is Socialism rather than Freedom.
New taxes, restrictions on firearm/ammunition purchases, "rights" for illegal aliens, registering to use the internet, endless intervention in Africa, TSA feeling up your wives and daughters at interstate highway checkpoints....we've got everything to lose. Obama is not to be trusted, he has no integrity or dignity tempered by wisdom. Anybody contemplating voting for him is to be judged a fool.
An addition to your list, mcCain wants to invade Iran for Israel - with what??? - conscripts more than likely. And Obama wants YOUNG PEOPLE to devote a couple of years of their life in national service either stateside or in the military - which is the same as McCain - forced servitude to FEDERAL GUBMENT. What about mid-aged Americans being forced to kiss away 2 years of their lives to serve the Federal Government, Master Obama - what about you and Michelle quitting your jobs and delivering aid to the Darfurans or to the poor displaced Iraqis?
Don't forget "hate speech" laws - he's on board with foxieloxie from the adl.
Given our current system and massive voter fraud, you are kind of a fool to vote at all. Voting won't change America. Voting won't bring the current real leaders of America and the Western world to justice. Until people are ready for a revolution expect more of the same. Not even Ron Paul could change this system through peaceful means.
God is always good!
I think it would be better to vote for someone actually running. Like Barr or Baldwin. Many times write ins are not even counted.
God is always good!
Since I know Obama is a racist, I have a heck of a lot to lose, like my life. I don't have any white guilt at all and have to wonder about those that do. I am just trying to survive, I don't have time to feel guilty.
God is always good!
Given the fact Obama is a habitual liar (and yes, it is a fact), you would have to be a fool to vote for him.
God is always good!
Since Hillary is a feminist, would you lose your dick? I probably would.
Gee I don't know. Hope I never have to find out.
God is always good!
Me neither. I'd also rather not deal with the old fart. I could be nose-less, eye-less, tooth-less and dick-less.
Losing my dick vs. losing your life. It's an impossible choice. I'm not voting.
Count your blessings. You'll still have personality.
No no, b-b-BOP-p-p-bop bop bop...
That is very kind of you to suggest, but I don't care.
Question: Should Clinton be Obama's VP selection, are you going to vote for that ticket?
I shall not vote for evil, lesser or otherwise.
You're a fool to vote for any of the three chosen by the globalist planet owners. r3VOLution.
"HOLODOMOR" is Ukrainian word for "FAMINE-GENOCIDE"
Absolutely not. That would be a defacto third Clinton term. Picking Hillary for veep would be political suicide (and maybe just plain suicide) for Obama. By exercising such poor political judgement (and/or capitulating to Bush- Clintonism/spook control), he disqualifies himself for the office . Now, let me ask you: If Obama picks anti-war conservative Dem and ex-Reaganite Jim Webb for veep, would you support that ticket vs. McCain?
Check out my blog, America, the Bushieful.
Right.
Is a vote for Webb an explicit pardon for getting Obama killed in a family feud gone horrible wrong? Not that I expect it to come up...
And they write innumerable books; being too vain and distracted for silence: seeking every one after his own elevation, and dodging his emptiness. - T. S. Eliot
I would vote for a pile of dog shit over McCain. However intriguing and inviting a Obama/Webb ticket would be, I cannot and shall not vote for Obama. Just can't do it. In 2006, I heard the "end the war now" mantra from the Democrat party. They took the legislature and PPPFFTTT!! As a great American orator recently said: "There's an old saying in Tennessee. I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee, that says: Fool me once...shame on......shame on you......if fooled, you can't get fooled again." I have vowed to no longer participate in the false political dichotomy that is the Republican/Democrat party. On some days, I fantasize about Obama taking office and kicking the War Party out of DC therein harboring no animosity towards neither Obama nor supporters thereof. That would please me and I would stand on a Main Street corner at high noon yelling that I was wrong. On most days, however, I perceive Obama as yet just another federal media created big federal government, Israel ass kissing lackey. "Fool me once..." becomes applicable where in reality, we citizens have been repeatedly fooled. How many more times? No, not for me. Third party or Ron Paul. As an aside, it doesn't look like the Hildabeast is going away. The DNC in Denver is shaping up for high drama. Can you just imagine if somehow, some way, Clinton takes the nomination?!? Behind the war, my next concern is the size and scope of the American federal government. Federal spending MUST be slashed. Borrowing and spending MUST end. Obama fails that test. Therefore, I cannot not vote for Obama. Period. (PS: An Obama/Paul ticket would be hard to resist.)
I shall not vote for evil, lesser or otherwise.
obama/Paul? now that's one i had never pondered.
Too absurd to give much thought to, isn't it? How much different could two people be? Ron agreeing to be the Veep for a Marxist, white-hating loon? I don't think so.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. of course.
It would never happen because Paul has too much integrity to team up with a liar.
God is always good!
