EVERY VOTE COUNTS

Ladies and Gentleman...
On Day 1, we need a President who is not in the pocket of Special Interest, does not agree with the War, cares enough about Gay Rights to make them a major part of his Campaign Speech given in a southern CHURCH....
Some of you are scared of what could happen if we don’t have the status quo in office,
well look at what has happened with it...
I like Bill Clinton as much as the next guy, but can you say that u TRUST Hillary with not being a corporate push over?
read
The Buck Stops Here, Unless You Marry It (Or Were Sired By It, Or Are Its Cousin...)
Skull & Bones
If you are still a Republican (with the party not standing up for Republican values)
I have no way to help you, because you have already decided to just vote along party lines
by still calling yourself a Republican through the last 30 years of Non-Republican Republicans.
BUT
if you are Independent or Democrat, I urge you to be an idealist for once.
Don’t pick Hillary because you feel it is the safe choice.
Everyone wanted to have a beer with George W and how much money has been made off this War in no bid contracts by Mr B and Mr C?
I firmly believe that Obama should be the next President Of The United States.
This is why...
GAY RIGHTS
If you were to discuss Gay Rights with Hillary, she will do what is politically correct.
If you were to discuss Gay Rights with Obama he will do what is Morally correct. (and has already stated so).
WAR
If Hillary makes a mistake (like voting for the war) she can’t even admit it...and tries to blame others
(just like George W)
ECONOMY
The Economy will get better with ANY president who isn’t trying to line their pockets with LOBBY money, INSURANCE money, WAR money....can you say that For Hillary?
LEADERSHIP
Much like my lead in story where Barack speaks for Gay Rights In a conservative Church, He continually shows this mark of Leadership. All along the campaign trail, if there was mis-information aimed at him, he responded honestly and with facts. Hillary gets asked a question and somehow turns it around to be about something else.
HEALTHCARE
This one looked tough at first glance especially with recent articles....HOWEVER
the real facts are:
OBAMA’s plan provides for realistic changes and honesty about what is required.
Hillary’s plan (although “universal&rdquo
mandates everyone just PAY,
there is no idealism in a universal plan
that does not attack the Premium rates,
Realistically look at why we pay 50% more
for prescriptions than nearly EVERY OTHER
COUNTRY, etc, etc,....
So to that article that says you must AIM high by trying for “Universal Coverage”
I agree, but not
“AIM FOR HIGH INSURANCE PREMIUMS THAT ARE HIGH BECAUSE INSURANCE COMPANIES PAY OFF SENATORS...”
IN GOOD COMPANY
