I am basically a one issue voter - Can anyone convince me to vote for Obama?

[5teamparlay]

My one issue is welfare. PERIOD. None other, honestly.

i could give a rats ass about abortion, guns, god and even the military (i can deal with barrack as carter and clinton in the past) or all the other jiberish.

Where did all these entitlements come from??? When and where does it all end. i've worked every day sometimes 3 jobs at once for over 20 years since i was 15 years ol.

I'll even submit this has nothing to do with race there are way more whites on welfare etc. i see them all the time riding around Wal mart in the scooters I paid for.

You should vote for Obama because he is the wave of the FUTURE and he is inclusive, not divisive. He will lower your taxes if you make under 250$k which 98.9% of Americans make. He will educate your kids better, he will make your health insurance more affordable, he will have GREAT relations across the world! He has an inspiring charisma about him which hasn't been seen since Reagan. Or you can vote McCain, who would be a worse president than Bush! The choice is EASY! Obama 08'. Imagine if Obama was white with a typical white name, this election would be 75% to 25% but since he is black with a muslim sound name, a lot of people tend to be scared. Not me, Obama for me EASILY!!

Obama 08'

It seems to me that we have a moral obligation, in the richest nation in the world, to provide at least a basic level of existence for those who are incapable of providing for themselves. How we go about separating the incapable from the lazy scammers is the tough part. The difference in welfare spending under an Obama vs McCain administration is probably about a weeks worth of Iraq war spending.

Hey power, you should stop drinking the kool aid

Obama has all the wrong answers, even if you buy into his crap about all these scummy associtaions being just people in the neighborhood.

McCain is no prize, but Obama is MUCH worse for our economy especially

Listen to the people that got it right, not the poeple that caused this mess

Well said PPP. I try to look at positives. I think Barrack already has this won, if he came around a little on some issues I could handle it. People are already getting bent over already everywhere they go. George Bush has watched as the government has grown beyond my belief and has uncontrolably spent like my wife does around the holidays.

I can handle all the Wright - Ayers crap as well. Seriously this is my one issue.

Hey Bruce, the reason is clear to me that the economy is broke is that something called the war in Iraq, $10 billion a MONTH!! Wow. That would break any economy. It was a mistake to go in obviously and now has broke the USofA. If we can spend 10BILLION a MONTH in IRAQ don't tell me we cannot spend that money here you bum to stimulate the economy! So get off your dumbass and vote OBAMA.

Who is fucking advocating continuing the war in Iraq? I know this poster isnt. I know Peter Shiff isnt. Also, let me tell you something. All of the money he (OB) will save from Iraq he will dump back into Afghanistan, wake the fuck up.

hno: hno: hno:

 

[brucefan]

You shoud watch the video from Peter and see if what he says makes sense.

You couldnt be more wrong about what Obama will do to cripple our economy and prolong our agony.

The war will end soon anyway because we are broke, and cant afford this anymore, and that is the one good thing about this crisis.

You have no idea how bad it could get, with a big spending, big govt , business crippling, radical far left liberal in office right now.

By the way, I would rather vote for Mickey Mouse, then ever pull the lever for Obama.

Vote for http://Baldwin08.com or another 3rd party... If you must vote Rep or Dem take McCain.

 

[gtc08]

true fact about welfare. 80 percent of the people on welfare are working 2 full time jobs. most of these are poor immigrants trying to make a better life for there family and need additional support from the government to make it. there not scammers. thats one of the great stereotypes of welfare. that everybody who's on it, or a majority are lazy. couldnt be further from the truth.

:nohead: Get the fuck out of here. Vote for that nut Baldwin or 3rd party or dont vote. End of story. Dont play that lesser of two evils nonsense.

While agree there is alot of stereotypes and many are outdated and not true, trust me GTC when i tell you this, Welfare is an ATM to alot of folks. The majority think they are entitled to it. From the 700$ for car repairs, from the 150$ new clothing allowance. To the 1000$ emergency fund to the free monthly bus passes to the countless other 3rd party organizations in place to also help. My GF works for the State of Pennsylvania's DPW as in income case worker. Trust me when i tell you this. At least for this state, 50% of the people work but about 75% could do without it and the only reason they dont is because the DPW counts only half your income against you, so they can meet standards and push more through. The horror storys she has are unreal. About 20% are single mothers or fathers in bad situation in need of help most of the other 80% are taking advantage of the system in one way shape or form. The worst part is, they EXPECT it. like its a right. Many of them feel....entitled. Again, the income gap is a real threat and it needs to be addressed but this is the wrong way to go about it, just like taxing corporations.

If Obama was white and named Barry Olson we wouldn't be having this conversation because it would be Hillary vs. McCain. No way in hell blacks would have turned out in the numbers they did and voted 90% for Barry Olson over Hillary Clinton in the primaries. Just look at S. Carolina where the Obama campaign resorted to the race card against Bill Clinton. Without the race factor Clinton would have won enough states like South Carolina to get the nomination.

Your always going to have people take advantage of the system. That's human nature. The only way you can prevent that is eliminate it. If you eliminate welfare, you do way more damage then you do good. Maybe look into different ways welfare is run. Have employment agencies gain bonuses to employees for finding people on welfare jobs or something to that extent. Fix it, don't eliminate it.

Listen genuis, Blacks are 12% of all the American vote. If 98% of them vote Obama it would only be about 11% of votes so don't give me that crap!

If you read my post above when i said pubguy has a solid post, look what he said. He said some people need help and we have the wealth to help them no doubt.

Great post. This is very positive, it shows many whites included are bending over backwards to vote for Barry. Tired of the media painting thee opposite story about racist whites, just tired of it.
