If forcing females to bear children is something that you care strongly about, then the McCain/Palin ticket is for you. If the status quo is what you want, if you believe that America is on the right track, then vote McCain/Palin.
If, however, you are one of those voters who under most normal circumstances never consider voting for the likes of McCain/Palin then you have to ask yourself the big question. Why the sudden shift? Is it because you believe that Barack Obama is not ready or qualified for the office of Presidency, like his opponents have suggested? If so, then ask yourself when a person is ready to serve. How many more years in the Senate would it take? Does spearheading issues and committees mean nothing? Does deft diplomacy and communication skills count for nothing in a presidential candidate? Taking another approach: Barack Obama is far, far more qualified to be President of the United States than George W. Bush was (or is) and also far, far more qualified than Sarah Palin, God forbid.
Are you not voting for Barack Obama because he is rumored to be an enemy of Israel? Unpatriotic? Soft on terror? Not a single shred of evidence would suggest any of the aforesaid accusations, which smear Barack's name like cream cheese on a bagel. Before casting stones it might be a good idea to back up those accusations with facts rather than fiction.
Then there is...
Many young people have become so deeply mistrustful of Islam and of Muslim people that the prejudice has become painfully normalized. For many Americans, sadly, Islam equals terrorism. Americans who cannot trust a person because he or she is -- or even might be -- Muslim are as frightening as terrorists themselves. Barack Obama is not Muslim. Even if he were the issue would not matter, period. That it might matter is frightening for many of us, and it should be for you as an American. Being Muslim is a positive thing for many people. Voters who would like for the United States of America to be a Christian nation are free to vote for McCain, seriously. Those who find Christian fundamentalism as fundamentally disturbing as Muslim fundamentalism might want to reconsider their reasons for mistrusting Barack Obama.
Voters who are afraid to elect Barack Obama are sadly besieged by a troubling prejudice. Unfortunately that prejudice has been effectively cultivated. Any would-be democrat who does not see in Barack Obama a genuine leader with promise to make the nation and the world a better place is lying about his or her motives. The reason you are not voting for Barack Obama is because you have been brainwashed.
S. such as providing affordable healthcare for all, paid for by raising taxes on the wealthy; making a sincere effort for energy independence, and generating more jobs while investing in renewable energy and conservation (Borosage and Heuvel). America, after decades of its love relationship with Conservatism, topped by eight years of the disastrous Bush presidency that has left the country on the brink of financial collapse and almost universal dislike, was
Presidential elections in the U.S.A. The United States Presidential election that was held on 6th November, 2012 was the 57th in the United States history. Such elections are held after every four years. The Democratic Party nominee was President Barack Obama while his running mate was Vice-President Joseph Biden. Both were re-elected for a second term in office. Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney and his running mate Paul Ryan were President
A primary is another system of electing delegates with a mandate to vote for a given candidate. Unlike caucuses, primaries are votes conducted by the government on behalf of the political party. This vote can be open, closed, semi-closed or semi-open. Open primaries allow citizens to vote in both parties' primaries; semi-closed only the primary for the party you belong to (independents may vote in these as well) and in
Another Wall Street Journal article (April 2, 2007) explains that Senator Hillary Clinton is the current top fundraiser among Democratic candidates for president. In the Washington Post (March 29, 2007), former presidential candidate Steve Forbes has decided not to run again, but he threw his endorsement over to Republican Rudy Giuliani. Senator Hillary Clinton, meanwhile, picked up the endorsement of Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack, according to the New York Times
Meanwhile in the journal Du Bois Review (Parker, et al., 2009, p. 194) the authors point to racism and patriotism as key themes for the 2008 Democratic primary election. "Race was a consistent narrative" used by those opposed to Obama, Parker explains (p. 194). Both Clinton and the Republicans "used racial references" to attack Obama, including the attacks on Obama "for his perceived inability to connect to 'real working
2012 Election Primary Factors Contributing to Obama's Victory in 2012 Presidential Election For some, the outcome of the 2012 U.S. presidential election was a foregone conclusion; incumbent presidents rarely lose their second election, and the challenger did not provide enough of a contrast to warrant a change in leadership at this point in history. For others, it came as a sudden surprise, an unexpected upheaval that challenged the very premise of their
