    Because they want taxpayers to pay for all these entitlement programs...that they are not entitled to receive.

    Really folks, if you want a better life for yourselves, stop being a parasites for a change. Get a better education, get off your butts and find a better job.

    Because Barak Obama is an honest, kind, loyal American. He is not a trouble maker, and he will do great in all the duties of the United States President. He see's how this country needs a change. The Texan for the last eight years, need now to be put out on the Range. Home, Home on the Range.

    THere are actually many reasons....

    1). He has amazing veiws on Education, planning on starting on early education and making sure all of our teachers are qualified and able to teach correctly instead of just getting though the day

    2) he plans on increasing the number of Charter schools and make schools more competitive when dealing with higher education

    3) he plans on giving all college students an automatic 4000 for tuition and fees and he is trying to make community college free. In order for the student to recieve these perks they must do some form of Community Service which is great!

    4) His main focus is on middle and lower class planning on decreasing taxs on families and houses whose income is less than 250,000

    5) He is making lower and easliy assessible health care regardless your income, race, or if you have a preexisting illness

    6). He believes in freedom of choice regarding MORAL decisions such as abortion. I am pro-choice and think that his speech on this topic was perfect.

    7) he is a christian and helped greatly reduce the crime rate and unemployment in his hometown in chicago while working through the church

    8) He believes we should start bringing home the soldiers and in 16 months hopefully have them all back home safe.

    9)Obama will eliminate all income taxation of seniors making less than $50,000 per year

    10)Raise the minimum wage to 9.25 by 2011

    soooo the Question is Why not????

    Did you like the last eight years.

    Did you like paying more fuel, groceries, health care, mortgages, etc... in the last eight years.

    If you answer yes than by all mean vote for mcclain

    If you want change then vote for Obama. I am tired of the last eight years. and frankly i am embarrass to say that the current president is my home state because our country is in the world its ever been especially when we went to war. That a big time for me because their was no weapon of mass destruction. and i have a daughter who is in war

    - End The Iraq War

    - Restore Balanced Taxation (no more tax breaks for the rich)

    - End the Bush Policies.

    - Electing a Black Candidate for President will piss off so many people that it will be funny as hell.

    ohhhhh....because people want their huge government to do everything for them! and they listen to the poisonous liberal media. and they don't have brain cells. and they think that socialism is super awesome. and they wear che guevara shirts to school. and they want to do what's popular, not what is right. and they don't want to believe that the economic crisis and bank deregulation started in the CLINTON ADMINISTRATION and continued with Bush. and they don't want to believe that McCain is not the same kind of republican that Bush is. and they listen to hateful media spew about Palin, even though she has done more in Alaska in 18 months than Obama has done in 2 years as a senator.

    NOBAMA.

    btw - hey there texas cowboy.. ;)

    i was born and raised here....and you? haha

    I am going to vote for Obama because I am a socialist and because I am in favor of killing abortions that fail , and leaving the child alive. I agree with Obama who thinks it is a waste of money to try and the baby.
