Communication is always key to a better understanding.<BR/><I> -His positive stance on the changes that need to be bought about in Washington.</I><BR/><BR/>... I can keep going and going...<BR/><BR/>There are also many negative aspects against McCain (flash judgments, quick tempers, old-man senility, cancer, can't-stand-palin, etc...), but I'm not going to go into the specifics of that right now (the question and direction of the post don't call for it).Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17428039013409806697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4792825193120551204.post-58215236421789462632008-10-27T00:24:00.000-04:002008-10-27T00:24:00.000-04:00I'm supporting Obama because I think the country n...I'm supporting Obama because I think the country needs to move away from the aggressive military-type politics of the current administration and return to a diplomatic process of conflict resolution. Obama has said he would sit and talk with world leaders to work out diplomatic solutions to conflicts, which I think is more important than ever given the state of the global economy. We've seen how our economy affects the global markets and vice versa, so as much as we may hate to admit it, we need our European and Asian neighbors (who have been largely critical of the US approach to recent conflicts) if we are to successfully navigate the crisis we are in. We can't continue to be viewed as the obnoxious stepsister of the world and I think a leader like Obama will restore America's place as the standard to which all other countries aspire.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10814920353026760681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4792825193120551204.post-61482320050907941482008-10-25T20:46:00.000-04:002008-10-25T20:46:00.000-04:00I'm going to write in my candidate's name.I am not...I'm going to write in my candidate's name.<BR/><BR/>I am not in favor of the 2 party system.<BR/><BR/>Some tell me that if I vote for a 3rd candidate then I am taking a vote away from Obama.<BR/><BR/>1.

I also think our country has been run by a group of individuals with one line of thinking and little acceptance of input from those with ideas who differ from that plan. So, its time for a change.SteveBMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10203167407546384904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4792825193120551204.post-84176344837929900292008-10-24T10:07:00.001-04:002008-10-24T10:07:00.001-04:00You vote so you can bitch about it later.
