Why I'm Not Voting For Obama

from JoeUser Forums

I don't care for either Presidential candidate this time around.  Both suck, but Obama sucks worse.  Here is my reasons I will be voting against Obama.

  • Higher taxes.  Obama has no clue about taxes and follows the tired liberal line of more taxes will solve all problems.

  • Spending.  For years we have heard democrats complain about republican spending and deficits.  To a point they were right, but Obama's spending plans so far are incredible, and the costs will not come from tax increases on "the rich".

  • Media.  The media is so much in the tank for Obama, they don't even try to hide it anymore.  That is reason enough nt to vote for him.

  • Anti-American associations.  Obama has a long and troubling history with ties to anti-American groups and people like Ayers and Wright.  There are too many to mention here, but his associations with communists and marxists is also very troubling.

  • Social programs.  Obama proposes massive increases in social programs including his national healthcare plans which will cover illegal immigrants and provide state-sponsored abortions.

  • War/Terrorism.  Pretty obvious here that Obama has no clue when it comes to the threats facing the United States.  In true liberal fashion, he is more worried about what the Europeans think of us than anything else.

  • Inexperience.  He barely has any experience in Congress, and even his supporters have a hard time listing his accomplishments, mainly becuase he really doesn't have any.

  • Cult following.  The people who follow Obama are really no different than a cult you would see on TV. 

  • National Security Force.  Obama has proposed a National Security Force by civilians which will be "just as powerful" as the U.S. military.  If Bush or McCain proposes this, they would yelling police state, but not with Obama.

They should be pissed off at their state governments for them moving the primaries up, they should vote each of those officials out of office the next time they are up for re-election because of this mess.

I am upset with the DNC about this issue.  They needed to show some leadership but instead handed the nomination and four bonus delegates to Obama.  In my opinion, he is not a valid nominee.  He was not elected by the people but chosen by the party and the stupid superdelegate system and bogus caucuses.  A popular vote, all I want is a popular vote. 

Most of your points are perfectly valid, except for the first one about Obama being sexist and blocking re-votes. I haven't seen any evidence to support the notion that Obama is a sexist other than he beat Hillary in the primary which doesn't cut it in my book.

How about when he called a reporter "sweety"?  I think that's sexist.  I believe his campaign had an organized effort to use sexist attacks against Hillary.  He is responsible what comes out of his campaign even if it doesn't come out of his mouth.

You're not?
  Obama doesn't speak any foreign languages in spite of his well-traveled youth.  I have a problem with a presidential candidate always pointing out the flaws of the people he supposedly wants to lead.  I think he should just go and be President of Germany.

Actually he speaks fluent Indonesian. He spent a few years there as a child and went to school there for a while. I'm not saying that qualifies him for president just that he does speak a foreign language.

I have news for you, no matter what the outcome of Florida and Michigan was going to be neither Obama or Clinton had enough pledged delegates to get the nomination. It was bound to come down to super delegates one way or another. I think the idea of super delegates is idiotic but those were the accepted rules prior to the primary race starting and have been for many, many years.

As for the caucuses, they are based on popular vote for the most part. Yes they're a little confusing but it is essentially a popular vote. And the whole caucus thing is a state issue. If your state has caucuses instead of primaries you need to find a way to convince your state leadership to change to a primary secret ballot system.

How about when he called a reporter "sweety"?  I think that's sexist.  I believe his campaign had an organized effort to use sexist attacks against Hillary.  He is responsible what comes out of his campaign even if it doesn't come out of his mouth. 


I think calling a reporter "sweety" was an idiotic move but it doesn't make him sexist. And I don't recall his campaign ever making sexist attacks on Hillary during the primary, but then I wasn't in every state so I didn't read, hear or see all of his campaign adds. I live in WV so I only saw a couple of adds of his and they weren't sexist in any way shape or form.

Hmm...well he must have forgot it.  “I don't speak a foreign language. It's embarrassing!” Barack Obama exclaimed today at town hall meeting here.

He must have because according to an article in the New York Times back in March of 2007 (I think that was the time) he was said to speak fluent Indonesian due to part of his childhood being spent there.

I agree with both parts of the statement. If the democrats (and to a lesser extent the republicans) are going to have any credibility in the future, they have to scale back the role of super delegates so that they can only matter in a deadlocked convention.

Believe it or not, I would trust Obama before I would trust the Ny Crimes.

I couldn't agree with you more. The super delegates (or unpledged delegates for the republicans) should only get involved when there is an extremely close race. The whole idea that the super delegates could override the will of the people is just insane. Granted it's not like the pledged delegates have to vote for whom they are pledged to (that rule should change too if you ask me) but still the super delegates have too much power.

ObamabaH may have been fluent in Indonesian as a child, but I bet he couldn't ask directions to the nearest whorehouse today. Not that he'd really need to...i think hand gestures and waving a bit of cash would suffice.


Why that's sacrilege, you're talking about our Lord and Savior...um...no...just a politician, really?, well I guess it's okay then.

I can speak a foreign language. I am fluent in Spanish. I was lucky to have learned both English ans Spanish at the same time and not picking up the accent one gets when learning a second language. I may not be able to speak French by I can do an awesome imitation of the French Army running in the opposite direction.

I won't vote for him because his last name rhythms with Osama and his middle name is Hussein.


You should be ashamed of yourself for being so narrow-minded.

And I ain't voting for him because he's black. (Who needs any other reason?)


I expected more from you, but it is obvious your negative emotions has taken complete control of you.

The more commonly expressed negative emotions, and the more dangerous, are fear, hate, anger, jealousy, revenge, vanity and greed. These are the seven robber barons which often deprive men/women of their opportunity of achievement because they make accurate thinking impossible. They should be under constant control and always subject to the closest scrutiny, for they lead to errors of judgment.

Oh boy these Obama supporters really have no sense of humour whatsoever.

He even ANNOUNCED that he was trolling:


(time to go fishing)


Is that the "change" Obama is talking about? Remove the sense of humour?

Of course there is the possibility of a sex scandal. Most "Rock Stars" get caught with their microphones and wammy pedals in a groupie after a while.
