Here is a post that was made in June '08 by zoomie on this forum. Must have had ESP.
"Obama is a great communicator no doubt about that! Especially when compared to GW. His name, race, and age have nothing to do with my thought process for deciding our next president. It's the direction that canidate intes to take this country that gets my attention.
Obama's direction is: to appoint liberal justices; remove our constitutional rights to bear arms, create a top heavy, tax laden social form of government, sit with our nation's enemies without any concessions on their part, draw down our military strength to fund liberal program as world events grow more dangerous and to abandon the sacrifices and achievements made by our men and women in uniform.
All is HOPE and CHANGE cr*p is media sound bites for the day dreamers and uninformed in our society.
This nation has made many foreign policy mistakes over past 60 years. It’s also had some significant successes as well.
A vote for a democrat as liberal in their thoughts, practices and policies as Obama is would be a grave mistake, and would further weaken this country, hasten the moral decline of our society and invite our enemies to attack us.
Final thought-- It's sad when more people watch and vote in "American Idol" than watch the presidential debates or vote in local, state or federal elections!"
