xXLithiumXx -> RE: Why Obama cannot win in 2008 (9/4/2008 8:04:49 AM)
|
Even though, this has some how turned into a debate about Obama and the rumors that have been spread about him. In the long run, based on what I have read in the past 15 minutes or so, I cant see how the original poster would thing that he couldnt win. He seems to have a firm platform. He seems to be the cleanest of the two. And while it is sad that his race is an issue for some of the less enlightened of the public, that seems to be the ONLY real issue.
Like I said in the post before this one, McCain has a some what shady history. As a woman, I wouldnt trust a man who uses his record shamlessly to win a seat in office, which he has tried to do in this election. (I have seen several ads about wouldnt you like to have a veteran on your side, or some such drizzle) Nor, would I trust a man who met one wife while still with a wife. It seems to me from that stand point that he doesnt know what he wants. NOR, would I trust a man who is known for his temper, and his love of war. Even to the point he supports the war in Iraq. But appatently makes little frowny faces at the way we treat the people, tho he does nothing about it.
While reading over Obama, I couldnt find any real reason to say "this guy doesnt have a chance in hell of winning" out side of the fact that people keep making an issue of race. The fact on that is that, race shouldnt matter. We as a people should take the fight out of the racial stand point and look at what the man is and has accomplished. It seems to me, he has written several books, has a christian view point, ( while I dont follow that faith, it doesnt mean the morals for it are wrong) and his goal of taking the troops from Iraq seems to be awesome. We got them over there in a matter of days, why couldnt we bring them home in a matter of days?
Even if in this post, to those of you who have some kind of longevity here, and seem to have the ability to be the know all of who is a fool, or who is basing opinion on ignorance, I have done nothing more than make myself look like a fool. This post has made me look, read, search, learn and grow as a person. It has opened my mind to an option that I didnt think I had. Even to the point that I disliked all of the candiates so much I wasnt even going to vote.
Understanding that I am new here, and that none of you know me, and I am sure that you encounter random stupidy several times a day, my post perviously was made in error, and again, I do apologize for that. Your replies, heated or no, to that post made me go on and look for more and in that, I have come to realize, perhaps my own dislike of Obama was based on rumors, even if I didnt realize or want to admit it.
In reply to the original post, stating that the country wasnt ready for a black president, I find to the contrary that this country is ready for any one that can change the current state of affairs, even if the man is purple with green dots on him. Or her for that matter. I know I would readily accept a three headed man who could do something to make my life and the life of my children better. Though, I again have to say, I have yet to see any one, in spite of the promises they have made do anything but make it harder for any of us to live day to day.
