Are you a hypocrite voter?

Question

Be honest! If you’re on the demo team, we all started out screaming for change yet Obama did choose a good old boy for the experience. If you’re a repub, you started out screaming that we go with experience and tradition yet McCain chose a non-traditional running mate with no experience.

Makes me feel like we have all been duped! The fact is that no matter what your candidate does, you’ll justify it. If Obama had a teenage pregnant daughter it would be the end for him, but since its Palin people will make excuses.

This is a game of chess, but the only problem is peoples real lives hang in the balance.

Are we choosing for a candidate for a better America or just to say “my candidate one!”

Answer 1

I'm an independent who wants to vote for the best candidate available. None of these folks were my first choice, but as a voter I have a responsibility to cast my vote for who I believe will do the best job for our country.

Answer 2

I don't know that Palin was the best choice but she is conservative pro-life so she fits the profile for the ticket.

Obama ran on the ideal of change yet he picked a Washington insider.

If Obama's daughter was pregnant he would have the baby killed as per his earlier statement.

Answer 3

then dont vote...simple enough???

Answer 4

You mean 'won?' By your standards Ron Paul voters are the only moral people. They know they don't stand a chance at winning. I'm voting for the situation that most benefits my wallet. Anything else is secondary.

Answer 5

"change" to me never meant that Obama had to choose a 'washington outsider'....it meant that Obama would need to choose a person that both balanced his ticket and is willing to go against Obama and get him to look at situations differently if need be. I want someone who will challenge Obama...not be a 'yes man' and I think we have that in Biden.  

Answer 6

It's almost as if each campaign borrowed ideas from the one another!

"Here, I'll take the old man and you take this young chick... that oughta confuse them!"

Answer 7

Too bad I'm still voting McCain. No matter vwhat!

Nice try!

Next....

Answer 8

The real issue here is Double Standards.

You can't stand on a podium and say abortion, or g*y people are

not good things.  That promoting guns is a good thing.

Then say,  it is a family or personal matter.  Stay out of peoples

bedrooms and heads.

Answer 9

  Change and experience are not issues for me. They are campaign tactics. I will be voting on issues such as health care reform, alternative energy and improving the economy. I am voting Democrat at this point but I won't be a hypocrite so if I think McCain has jumped ahead on these issues by election time I would vote for him. I don't see it happening though. Now if they change after the election then I guess I could get duped, but I won't feel like a hypocrite.

Answer 10

I think that Obama/Biden is still best for America. I feel that they told the least lies......And their kids aren't promiscuous dope heads on welfare. You are right though.  

Answer 11

that's why it's called politics.

Answer 12

No, I am not a hypocrite.  I always vote based on the candidate whose record and views are most in synch with my opinions.  I am a moderate conservative, so in this case, it is John McCain whose views are most in agreement with my own, and I have supported him since even before the Virginia Primary.

I don't care about Palin's daughter or Obama's church.  I care about the candidates' positions on the real issues facing our country.

Answer 13

I vote for the candidate who's policy's are best for Our Country and Our Citizens.

Senator Mc Cain's Policy's fit the bill. He did chose someone with experience who has traditional political views and will help him reform our Government on both sides of the isles.

Answer 14

I was never going to vote for any of the democats. I didnt support McCain in the primaries. In fact I kick myself for not looking closer at Ron Paul. What I see of Palins policy so far i like, McCain and I can agree on enough. Palin makes it easier for me to support McCain. I dont think any candidate is ever going to be able to do all they say, and in reality our Congress is so messed up right now, until we get some new blood in there we are in trouble. We need reformers in Congress too. Right now all we have is party hacks. Its obvious to me that the liberal wing of the dems has taken over or you wouldnt have Pelosi and Ried in power.

Answer 15

I don't think Obama's choice of Biden fails the change criteria.  I maybe optimistic but I actually think having someone on his team who knows Washington, may actually improve the chances for his changes to come to fruition.

As for Palin, it is not her lack of experience that bothers me.  What bothers me is how so extremely conservative she is.  She is the female version of Cheney.  Anti-contraception, pro-big oil, creationism being taught in public schools, etc.  She would be worse than bush if president.  And with McCain only 3 years from the average life expectancy for a US male, she could easily be our president in a few years.

Answer 16

Simple mathematics would show that Palin leads both Obama and Biden in almost all aspects. First Palin was a beauty titlest, neither BO nor JB.  Palin has governed a state, neither BO nor JB.  Palin knows how to fire a gun, neither BO nor JB.  I mean his more of a man than BO and JB combined. And how about this, Palin is a mother of 5 children. BO and JB will never be.

Answer 17

You're right. There's mudslinging from both sides and both sides try to justify it.

I do believe McCain/Palin are best for America though.

Answer 18

OBAMA'S DAUGHTER WOULDN'T HAVE A BABY OUT OF WEDLOCK. HIS FAMILY WOULD CONSIDER IT A "PROBLEM" AND HAVE AN ABORTION. THIS IS WHAT HE EVEN SAID IN A SPEECH. HE WOULD CONSIDER THE FETUS A PROBLEM, NOT ANYTHING ELSE.
