Help me ou here. I have to vote tomorrow and I havent decided who to vote for.
I see positives & negatives i both candidates.

1. I don't WANT to be nice or get along with the Pubs! Thy'vebeen AH's for 10 years n I want a fighter to kick their ass!

2. I want unieral health care, and I believe the only way t get it is to mandate it like we do SS or income taxes.

3. I'm scared to death that if Hllary gets elected, the Pubs will do the same thing tey did for the 8 year Bill was Presidewnt. Even if they don't find anything, they'll eep churning the pot.

4. I don't believe it's possible for ANY persoto cure the ills that hrb had foised on ur couny in 4 or even 8 years! Whoever he new President i will be slamed fo being a failure!

5. No matter which Dem is elected, the problems creted by Shrub are so numerous, they can't succeed. The comments will be "I told you no boad/black can lead this Country!"

I am going to vote tomorrow. I would Never VOTE FOR A PUB! I honestly don't know who to vote for.

2. Hillary 08! Steelers too, Roth will get us there!
The new coaching and changes took a toll, But Tomiln will have the changes done and be running it like his team next year!

I miss Jerome! Willie Parker is good but his injury hurt us bad! Jerome was the best! Loved that he finally got that trophy!

We need a bus!

Hillary 08, Steelers FOREVER!

5. You can't end homelessness
Edited on Mon Feb-04-08 11:44 PM by sandnsea
by mandating people buy a home.

And Obama just told the country about the okiedoke, so don't let the Clintons play the okiedoke on you. Her campaign hasn't said one thing true from the beginning.

Besides, if this hope thing doesn't work out, Hillary will still be there and we can always go back to mud slinging on the floor of the Senate, since that's worked out so wel.

6. Sounds like some of your positions align with Hillary...
...But if she is President the Republicans will declare war on her. I'm sorry, but I agree with you that's how it will be.

7. Vote Obama. He will lead, instead of being led.
Do you want the insurance industry running universal health care?

10. "I don't WANT to be nice or get along with the Pubs!"
Well that's just what Obama wants to do. He calls them Obamacons. Seriously.

13. Clinton's health care
From her WSJ op-ed

And let's be clear: Unless we cover all Americans, we will never end the hidden tax that the uninsured pass on to the rest of us when they end up in the emergency room and we wind up footing the bill.

14. vote for obama
Both would make good presidents, but I think that Obama has the makings to be a GREAT president. Here's why

* I am very offput by Hillary's "us vs. them" mentality, and feel that kind of attitude is exactly what this country doesn't need right now. Those tactics, perfected by Karl Rove and implemented by GWB, make me cringe. I am suspicious that her candidacy is more about "winning" than anything else, and suspect she will do anything to make that happen.

* A Hillary presidency will be ridiculously contentious, by default. Bill Clinton will be living in the White House again. Imagine the reporters camped outside the residence and how much negativity will be in the air. It's just a continuation of the same old crap we've been dealing with for years.

* I believe that this country has the ability to be great if the people are inspired to make it great, not because one candidate is better versed in "how to make a bill a law" types of fundamentals.

* Lastly, I don't think Hillary would beat McCain or Romney in a general election. In fact, I believe she would be destroyed.
