Subject: Re: Only reason to vote for Obama? by JrRifleCoach on 2008/7/2 15:39:50 I'm at a point where the DNC has swung so far to the left, that they have lost contact with the majority of America. To prove my point is the election results maps where the dems control the urban centers and the GOP votes makeup the rest of the country. Here in Calif the dems carry the state with SF, LA & SD. The remainder of the state counties vote Republican. The same goes for the national map as well. Physical responsibility is a function of congress and the pres can send plans to congress, but can only approve or veto their final bills. Our political system is corrupt and broken. Our choices for casting a vote are now based on who will be less disruptive or destructive to our nation's global position or economy. History concludes that a Republican president will start a war and a dem will raise taxes. One inspires the economy, the other suppresses the economy. I am a constitutional conservative. Our govt violates this doctrine daily by redefining the bill of rights to suit their purposes. A perfect example of this is describing the prisoners in GITMO has having the same "rights" as a US citizen since they are on our soil. Maybe under the Geneva convention, but not our Constitution! And its not just dems but all politicians that violate our rights. Therefore I vote for candidates that are most likely to uphold our freedoms and the Constitution of the United States. |
