My vote is democrat…and right now i like Obama…..i think he is the right person to run this country….i don’t like more wars…i don’t like racism from republicans….i just want a president of the United States…to keep people united…..

By the way….please…don’t use my comment to make anti-hispanic comments….believe me…you guys don’t really know if the person next to you is illegal…..because let me say something….illegal is not only the hispanic guy in the corner asking for a job…there’s a lot of people from China..Russia….Bulgary….Italy….etc. that you think they are americans and they are not…so please…respect them and let them survive…thx.

For all of the people concerned with Sen. Obama’s lack of experience: Look at how President Bush’s experience helped him run the country!!!! (Run us into a muck!)

Why do all these people think that voting for Obama is a vote for change? He is still trying to peddle the same old socialism that Lenin, Stalin, Castro, and Mao tried to sell in their own countries. There is nothing different about it.

Maybe the only “change” is the new marketing package that he is using for the same old socialism.

I’m an Independent, but I have been watching everyone closely. Here are some observations:

Sen. Hillary Clinton says she is for more transparency in government, more accountability, and states that she is campaigning on her record. Just a thought, but why then is every shred of what she did as First Lady locked up in the archives in the Clinton Presidential Library? And why is no one talking about this? Everything she said or did while she was living in the White House for eight years cannot be accessed, and she is using words like “transparency”, “accountability”, and the phrase “look at my record”. Please, Senator Clinton, I would love to look at your record, BUT YOU WON”T LET ME. Also, I’m terribly frightened that Sen. Clinton is going to abandon the costly gains we’ve made in Iraq. Let’s please not have to go back to that place a third time.

On the flipside, I don’t precisely know if Americans are ready to witness the inaguration of Barak Mohammed Hussein Obama. I’m good with it, but I fear that as Election Day nears, the question “what’s in a name” could be asked. Concordantly, change just for the sake of change is NOT a good thing. Unemployment at 5% and growth at 3% is not weak. The housing sector needs help, yes, but the economy is fine, and one could argue that the government should not be in the business of propping it up at taxpayer expense. There are other things for which my tax dollars should be used, as opposed to spending them to battle the natural economic cycle of expansion and correction. Want to give me my money back? Yeah, that makes sense. Why not just not take it from me in the first place?

to Katie who says “I find it profoundly disturbing that the craziest, most wacked-out postings are from people unable to write a coherent sentence.

It is almost as disturbing as the horrible racism (in a variety of senses) that still exist in this country that I believed to be above this.”

There is a reason you are reading such postings - it’s because most of them are from Democratic supporters. If you go read the comments on articles about the Republicans, you will find much more intelligent comments, more coherent use of the English language, and much more rationale thought. This isn’t to say that all comments will be that way, but the overwhelming majority will be. In the Democratic party you have multitudes of lemming union members who rarely think for themselves, instead choosing to let the unions tell them what to think and who to vote for. You also have so many special-interest factions that are so vehement about their one pet thing (global warming, globalism, veganism, etc) that they can’t speak intelligently about anything else.

That’s just the current state of the Dem party. It’s a sad state of affairs. When people can vote for someone like Hillary or her husband, people who have demonstratably horrible characters (which yes, does affect their ability to “lead), it is a sad state for our country.

Isn’t it just so typical of the Clinton machine to whine and cry about how unfair and low the attacks against them are…………when they are the masters at planting false rumors to start a story, destroying and assassinating peoples character to get an advantage, and this is a new one to add to their collection- shedding a tear to win peoples votes. Well it will be great to think they she will be REALLY CRYING when her campaign runs aground because people see right through her phoniness! I hope the American people are still smart enough not to give her and her husband another 4 more years polluting the office of the Presidency!!!!

To Alex Smith———I noticed that too. They also do the same thing with McCain and Romney. McCain is the medias darling

vote Romney, he hasnt asked for any illegal votes, only legal ones.

i second the motion Guellermo-Wish more people could see that , then they wouldnt vote for anybody.

This is to Gilbert, you sound very bitter, but the fact of the matter is , it is not always the white person that you work for, I live in an area with a high concentration of illegals and many of them are invited bye other hispanics who own companies and they have a job the minute they hit American soil. If we sound mad about illegals , maybe you could put yourself in our place , what if we went to your country and maybe we lost our job and we got alot of free benefits that alot of your compadres didnt get, how would you feel, its not you race, at least for me its not.and this comment is to Fernando, I like the way you said you are an American of Hispanic descent, it makes me know that you do care about America . You might have been born here but there are many people who werent and they love our country but they hate us. I know we are far from perfect , but some of us do try.
