The problem is that a slight majority of Americans are Bigots.

Even amongst democrats, at least 40% think Gender and Race are quualifications for Presidency.

If all Democrats voted on facts and human rights, Obama would have won long ago.

e.g. Obama voted against the Iraq war (major human rights violation there) Clinton voted for it. Obama voted for banning cluster bombs in Cities (great in FPS's when all the bomblets explode, not so great in real life when 5 years after a war some middle eastern child can't play videogames because his hands were blown off by an unexploded bomblet.) Clinton voted against banning them. (I guess she likes it when non-white children lose their limbs)

Feminist Clinton supporters must think gender is more important than life or death human rights issues. And that qualifies them as bigots. Them plus a majority of republicans equals a majority of Americans... And that's the sad state of the America today.

What if I'm against abortion, and against negotiating with terrorists and their allies?

What if I'm for keeping our promises to Iraqi civilians that we've been making since Desert Storm, instead of looking out for our own self interest?

What if I'm from or have family in Isreal? 

Should I still vote for Obama? 

 

The fact is, Obama won't say all of his far left policies in his speeches, because if he did, nobody would vote for him. He has to keep his true ideas on taxes, gun control, abortion, gay marriage, foriegn policy, and gas prices secret, toned down and secret, because if he didn't, everyone would realize, "Hey, I disagree more with him than I do with George Bush," which as you know is saying a lot.

 

That's why I wouldn't vote for Obama. I have a huge problem with several of the issues he likes to cover up by avoidance and blankting them with the promise of ending the Iraq war. If the entire country had to read a copy of his policies, he'd lose the most massive landslide in history, biggotious nation of not.

 Hey that goes for every candidate ever.  They say what we want to hear to get our votes and then they go batshit crazy and the media and Congress are too scared/stupid to call them on it.  Bush did run on a "no nation building" and "smaller government" platform.  And now we have multiple wars and a Patriot Act to fuck up our kids forever.
