His supporters can try to paint all of us as racists(because, really that's all you simple minded people can come up with) and unfortunately for a small group that may be true but for the majority and for me especially, there are too many things about this man that makes me question his loyalty to this country, his judgment, and his experience. I was never a Democrat..I was Republican until the Clinton era. President Clinton brought wealth and prosperity and peace to our country. Something Obama wont be able to do. I for one, cannot bring myself to vote for someone who voted against a bill for aborted babies (that survive an abortion) to have rights. To him, it must be OK to leave a innocent baby to die in a trash can or on the table. Makes me sick. So, I'll be voting for John McCain a man who will protect our country and not go and have tea and cookies with the terrorists and hopefully, Roe V Wade will soon disappear!

Then what would you call Obama and his campaign? He told half of his own party to shut up in the primaries, he doesn't need them. Now he flip-flops and cuddles up to them. He is bullying everyone around the country saying that if we're not with him then we're against him. He called all of us racist, never listening to the actual reasons why we'd vote for somebody else. He surrounded himself with attack dogs he releases upon his opponents and anyone who dares disagree with him. Right now his supporters even threaten to unseat fellow democratic congressmen who supported Hillary in the primaries. Sure... it's Hillary who's being divisive... right...

Second As an African American women I don't like Obama because of his policies not his race. Just because the media has lead some to believe that only Whites are voting for Hillary, which is completely false. I'm still confused on what Bill said to make him a racist. How is it possible that just because he said Jesse Jackson campaigned in South Carolina that makes him a racist. Sorry Bill some people are just uneducated and try to use race as in issue. I still believe in you and what you said in South Carolina was not a racial comment. As an African American women people try to tease me or call me uncle tom or whatever just because I voted for the best qualified person to run this nation. As a Black women I have seen a lot of smooth talking black men talk their way through a lot of things and Obama is one of them. Don't you think it's strange that Obama never wants to debate or answer questions from the media? It's because he wants to slide his way through the nomination so no one can find out who he really is. That's why they call him a smooth talking inexperience used car saleman. They get you to buy a car you don't want and when you try to take it back it's too late. Most of Barack supporters belong to a cult anyway . So you can call me an Uncle Tom, a racist do what you have to do, but unforuntely Hillary was a better candidate and I still hopes she win the Nomination. Thanks Avembe The Sun

Justice Ginsburg is 75 year old and Justice Stevens is 88 and they will both likely retire within the next 4 years. This means it is likely that whoever is President will make appointments that will shape our entire society for decades to come. John McCain has said that he would appoint conservative judges if elected President. McCain sited Justices Roberts, Alito and Renquest as his models for the type of judge he would appoint to the court if given an opportunity. McCain voted for all of Bushes appointees to the Supreme Court. If we take McCain at his word, and in this case I do, he would have and will act exactly as Bush has in regards to Supreme Court appointments. Both Obama and Clinton voted against Roberts and voted to filibuster Alito. Before you decide that you will vote McSame or not vote at all if your candidate does not become the nominee, I urge you to think about a few things... Roe vs. Wade Environmental Protection Personal Privacy in America Equal Rights Consumer Protection I could go on... Now imagine all those things going away, because that is what will happen if McCain is the one doing the nominating. McCain's voting record in the 109th Congress was the second most conservative in the Senate. He has also promised to greatly increase the size of the US military, and increase the use of nuclear power in the US. I made a mistake in 2000 and voted for Nader. Yes I proclaimed it as a message to the DNC and guess what it got me... George W. Bush Don't make the same mistake I made in 2000. Think people. I bet Carl Rove can't stop laughing.
