What I cannot understand is why so many people here on Avalon have a negative opinion of someone who speaks to our highest ideas about ourselves.

I find it truely amazing that you think this man is 'squeaky clean.' Do you also think that Ayers wasn't a terrorist? How about the toxic Rev. Wright? Obama sat in the pew for 20 years, had Wright marry him and baptise his baby and was even his spiritual advisor before the tapes came out, then Obama says Wright never said those things in his presence? Give me a break. The left-wing media has taken a one-sided push to get Obama elected, so much so that even a blind/deaf man can see/hear it.

Obama has never proposed a "redistribution of wealth" program.

Read about Obama's 95% tax cut here in the Wall Street Journal: [URL=http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122385651698727257.html[/URL]
We are going to become a welfare state under Obama.

gwynned: Your two posts seem to conflict each other. In your first message, you refer to both major candidates as "slaveholders". And then in your second message, you quote WSWS and happen to summarize Obama's plans quite closely. Investing in infrastructure, education, health care, and shifting the tax burden to the richest among us read as veritable bullet points on Obama's website.

Perhaps you missed Goody's point, the World Socialist Web Site (WSWS) and Obama's website have the same points, hmm, does that make Obama someone with socialist views? Me thinks so...

If anyone really thinks John McCain is the "lesser of two evils", ask yourself this: Are you better off than you were 8 years ago? If you are, go ahead, vote for McCain. If you're not, there is one option to try to help change things.

Personally, I am better off, my home is almost paid for, I have two beautiful children. As I said in my orginal post, I wish we could redo the primaries, bet there would be different results. I wish that Colin Powel would run for president, unfortunately, he is too smart.

You can either base your vote on hope and trust, or fear. The decision is yours. I prefer hope:

How can you trust a man that changes their story when caught in a lie? I guess if they just continue saying the same thing enough times, people will believe it's true? God help us if Obama, Pelosi and Reid are together in power, we are going down big-time.

I urge everyone to please consider Obama's leadership and judgment, and not give in to any fear-based disinformation or preconceived notions about him. Here is a guy that literally gets hundreds of death threats every day, and yet he is still trying to help.

I too urge everyone to please consider Obama' leadership and judgement (ala, Rezco, Wright, Ayers, etc.) this is what you will get if this man is elected.
