I have changed my vote!

[legalsea]

I was leaning towards Senator McCain. I liked his history and values.

Initially, I was excited by his selection of Sarah Palin (indeed, after her selection I posted a note about my voting for McCain). However, after more information about her, I grew cautious. Then, I grew alarmed.

Furthermore, after viewing the “threads’ on this board for the last month, I can make this statement: the supporters of Senator John McCain are peeing in their pants about the possible election of Senator Obama. There are LOTS more ‘anti Obama’ threads being started every day, as opposed to “support McCain”. Hence, many are ‘afraid’ of Senator Obama being elected, but they can’t seem to come up with “Support McCain” threads.

I belong to the school of thought: “If the Vocal masses are against something, then it must be worth something”.

To repeat: if so many DIS contributors believe that Senator Obama will be disastrous to this country, based on mostly ‘hearsay’ evidence or such, then he is probably alright.

I listen to Rush Limbaugh everyday, for at least a few minutes. Today, for example, he went on and on about the ‘aunt’ of Senator Obama’s living in a “slum”. He has done this for the past few days. He also keeps referring to Senator Obama’s having a ‘relative’ living in a hut in Kenya.

I don’t care. To Rush: I may well have relatives living in ‘slums’, but that does not change my political thought. I also feel it unkind for you to summarily refer to said Aunt’s neighborhood as a ‘slum’. Maybe she does not feel that way. Some people live where they feel comfortable. Some people do not want ‘hand-outs’ from rich relatives. I know. I have been there. I have lived in ‘poor’ neighborhoods.

As for Kenya? Who cares? Do you expect Senator Obama to “move” his relative to some place in the capitol city? Against his will? Kenya, Rush, is not a ‘rich’ country. Many live in huts. Not all live in Nairobi (the capital).

Many who contribute to this board are obvious listeners of Rush and Sean. You can tell because they tend to contribute to this board soon after Rush is off the air (don’t believe me? Watch this board around noontime).

In summary: I have been persuaded by not only the words of Senator Obama, but the outcries of the Conservative group on this DIS board: Senator Obama may not be my ideal candidate, but after reading all the posts by the “McCain” supporters, I will go with the “Socialist, Communist, Do-Gooder”, etc.

Well, I agree with you mainly on one thing. There have been very few positive posts about John McCain by his supporters. I don't know why. Not saying there haven't been any. It seems that most of the McCain supporters are busy slinging mud all over this board all day long. There have been very little positive John McCain threads. I don't listen to talk radio at all so I cannot comment on what any of the talking heads are saying. I just hear lots of "silence" when it comes to McCain. From that side of things, it is just fear-mongering.

It's your right to change your mind. I was a Hillary supporter until Barack and the Dems sabotaged her. I changed my mind and will vote for McCain because I don't like backstabbers.

Oooh, clever Obama campaign psy ops directly from his web site. You're a good Obama soldier, but a very unconvincing "vote changer." Nice try. I'm all atwitter with the fear that you've "changed your mind" and are now an Obama supporter. Oh no! Could this be a trend? Should I change my vote, too? It must be happening all over, right? And, and, it's the Palin choice! Yeah, lots of people were going to vote for him until Palin came along, but she ruined it. Ohhhhh noooooo.

Please. No one's fallin' for these Obama campaign head games. When we McCain supporters see this stuff, our first thought is, "Wow, the Obama internal polls must be disastrous! These people are astroturfing their heads off."

GO PUMA

Let's see, what else are the "Vocal masses" against?

Torture.
Slavery.
Child labor.
Tofu.
New Coke.
Drunk driving.
Censorship.
Burlap underwear.

There are probably others.

And if Obama was behind, his supporters would be doing the same thing. Of course, I have been watching Obama slam McCain in commercials for weeks, but his supporters blindly follow him when he makes speeches about "taking the high road". Obama is a fraud.

Take a look at my past posting. Cllick on Legalsea, then search for 'past postings'. I can only state what I did. I thought Senator McCains' selection of Governor Palin was wise. Now, I have 'changed my mind'.

Interesting thing about "thinking" people: they will vote after all the evidence is in. They do not slavisly vote for 'their party', despite what Limbaugh or other radio heads say.

 

[momto2girls]

Well, seeing as you are from Texas, I'm not exactly worried about your vote.

Whose mama is a fraud?????..... It's not nice to talk about people's mamas.....

I agree. The vocal masses ARE against:

Torture.
Slavery.
Child labor.
Tofu.
New Coke.
Drunk driving.
Censorship.
Burlap underwear.

Yes, there are probably others.

Liberal to be against torture, slavery, etc.? Ok, I am liberal.

Okay. That was pretty funny.

Ok. As Corndog likes to say "gotcha".

Burlap underwear!

You had to know you'd get a bashing for posting so thanks for doing it anyway.

No changing my mind, I'm voting for McCain/Palin Nov. 4, 2008

I døn't understand what liberal has tø dø with anything. I thøught yøu said yøu were før whatever møst peøple are against - that it's yøur "schøøl øf thøught." I just wøndered that meant yøu liked New Cøke, since møst peøple are against it. I døn't think it's a liberal/cønservative thing.

 

[Biscuitsmom31]

You are a brave soul to post this here. Prepare to be treated like a ignorant sheep.

I'll be the first to admit there are ignorant sheep on both sides of this election. You have never come across as such.

 

[corndog]

Have I ever said that?

You're right, I am a thinking person and I'm positive that I'm not voting slavishly for my party by voting for McCain/Palin.
Thanks for the compliment!

GO PUMA!!!!!!!

legalsea - I can understand where you are coming from. I was originally pro Edwards. I have nothing against Hillary - she is my Senator and I voted for her but I really didn't want to see this campaign become all about Whitewater and Monica and such. When Edwards dropped out, I started to look into all the "talking points" about Obama as I really didn't know too much about the man. And the more I looked into all those "talking points" the more I discovered how much BS there was and I soon realized that there was actually quite a bit to admire about the guy and his life story.

And just in case you don't read the Conservative thread previously known as the "no kool-aid thread" - be prepared for an onslaught:

Hey guys, head over the the "I Changed My Vote" thread and tell her no one's buying her Obama campaign psy ops. I think it's really important for people to know that the phony "I changed my vote" web posting is a standard Obama campaign head game they've been playing for a long time on every political web site they can. I see it everywhere I go, and it's always total garbage.

From here on out, the Obama people have marching orders e-mailed to them on an hourly basis to spread lies and try to suppress the McCain vote, because if all of McCain's voters vote, McCain wins BIG — and the Obama campaign knows it. They are terrified!! Look for them early, early Tuesday to post a thread saying "McCain has conceded the election." That's what they've all been told to do on every website they can, and then the MSM will do a report saying "We're getting a report that XYZ website says McCain will concede the election by noon" blah, blah, blah. Call them out on every one of these astroturfing lies.
