Tonight me and my brother are going to do finsih the ol' Texas Two Step and caucus. We've never been to one before, so I don't really know how it'll be. I've heard everything from "it's so exciting" to "so boring you'll wish you hadn't". :shock: But I'm looking forward to the experience anyway. Afterwards we're planning to go see Obama so here's hoping there's no swooning on our part. :wink: At least we're not planning any . . . :) I'll update tomorrow so you can all share my hopefully not boring experience.

The super Tuesday caucus last month was my first one too. I, of course, voted for Obama. It was fun. It was not for the conflict averse, however. If you're part of support for a minority candidate you feel it heavily. After leaving churchianity, though, I'm not much swayed by sheeple.

Well I live in a predominantly hispanic neighborhood so I will pretty much be going that way. :) One of my family's co-workers actually said if Obama wins it'll be because of "you white people". :roll:

I'd really like to help y'all out but . . . I just can't do that. I mean I certainly liked the 90's and I'm certain her nomination would rally strong Rep support for McCain, I just can't. I guess I'll oweskie. :wink:

Tell me something Mr. Finigin. What exactly is it about Obama that is causing you to vote for him?

What accomplishment can you point to that says that he is ready to be president?

Oh come on, DaJudge. How can you even ask that? Doesn't he have like 2 whole years experience? :twisted:

What if it's nothing more than I don't want to go back to the 90's and I don't want 4 more years of Bushism and 100 years of war? What if I don't want someone to continue the same old crap as usual? Is that not a good answer? Is that not an accomplishment? Maybe. But it's my gut feeling. It's what I feel is right. It's what I'm going for.

An articulated vision is very revealing. There's more being communicated among democrats this election than just happy talk. Someone that cuts through the conniving and disingenuousness of the last seven years has a road in. Obama can pronounce nuclear! He speaks in complete sentences! He articulates a vision. It works for me.

Oh yes, it helps to agree with his vision, which I do.

What's been so wrong with the last seven years? I'm serious, have they really ben that bad? I on't think so.

As far as the war goes, I think it was a real wake-up call to America. We always bragged that we were the strongest kid on the block but as they say, the proof is in the puddding. The war has given us knowledge of our strengths and weaknesses and I think will be a stronger and better Nation because of it.

And finally, how much of what goes on can you really blame on th President? The economy is up and down all the time. I think more local and state government is to blame for the economy than the President is.

My vote......please, somehow, bring Huckabee back! LOL! :lol:

And what is that vision? All I ever hear him say is "CHANGE". Well, change to what? I have no idea what this guy stands for other than "CHANGE".

As for disingenousness, how about telling the people of Ohio that he was going to pull out of NAFTA, and then having one of his staffers call the Canadian consulate to tell them that he really didn't mean it, that it was just campaign rhetoric. Is that disingenuous?

Yup, that bad. Conniving and disingenuous. I'm out for change. Without a vision the people perish. I don't have to look far to find someone needing health care that can't get it. Someone needs a vision. Another word for perish is recession. Someone needs a vision. The "ownership society" of the Bush Administration is failed monetary policy. Someone had a vision to end the great depression it didn't just end itself. Someone had a vision.

Change to what? Democratic capitalism with universal healthcare, among many others. Alternative fuel initiatives so we don't rely on so many cars, net neutrality so corporations aren't squelching the freedom of the internet. If we don't quit starting wars the American way of life will end through economic necessity anyway, so get used to change.

I Like Huck
