Why are people calling me a traitor for being pro McCain?

Question

so this is my first election ever.

at first i was for obama, but after taking a current issues class, i became more republican and started leaning toward McCain.

since im mixed (white/black), all the blacks kids that i know are calling me a traitor for not voting obama.

honestly, i dont see either doing anything good for us, im just picking what person seems to be the lesser evil.

but why am i a traitor just cause im not letting the idea of a black prez be the reason to vote for someone?

Answer 1

Because our economy sucks and our food prices are skyrocketing, our people are going into foreclosures, and we are getting raped at the pump to be able to run a car to get to and from earning a living and most of this was brought on by Mc Cain's buddy, Mr. Bush's so called war on terror that freed the Iraqui's from dictatorship but still has the terrorist that brought us 911 at large. Mc Cain has promised more of the same and that means our economy will keep going down the toilet. If you vote for a person that will continue this trend, you are a traitor-not to any particular race but to your country as a hole(pun intended;I know it's spelled whole) and to yourself.

Answer 2

Nice try sweetie.  Forget about the race issue...What did your current issues class say that made you a McCain supporter?

Answer 3

They are acting very un-American. We all have the right to vote for the candidate of our choice. Any coercion or bullying about your choice is illegal and fascist garbage. Stick up for your rights and do not let anyone tell you how to vote.

Answer 4

it's the typical accusation of the small minded & previously indoctrinated.

hard not to pay attention but the only thing you can do is thank them for sharing and move along.

Answer 5

Trying to be cute. It is not working.

Answer 6

Sounds like your the one who has some sense.  Hopefully there are more people out there like you and decide to get informed, and vote for what they think is best for the country.  Not because someone is black.  Good job for not letting people steer you and looking into for yourself!  Too bad there are people out there that vote only based on party or race.  Vote as an American!!  

You Rock!!

Answer 7

Your vote is your personal decision read all the issues and let the best man win. Teachers should not be advocates for any politician since they could influence a first time voter they should keep their fascist mouths shut!!!!!!

Answer 8

Yes, you are a traitor, at least as far as the Liberals are concerned.  You should be loyal to the Soviet Union and then you wouldn't be a traitor!

Or, at the very least support the violent over throw of the US government!

Answer 9

You made the right choice (low taxes, pro-life, energy independence, defeating terrrorism). Welcome to the club! You have made a fine decision. God Bless. Now you just need to tune into Bill O'Reilly's the O'Reilly factor Monday through Friday at 8pm eastern and Hannity and Colmes Monday through Friday at 9pm eastern. Oh, and listen to O'Reilly on your local AM dial from 12pm to 2pm and switch back and forth between Rush (12pm to 3pm) and O'Reilly. You will learn so much. I am so excited for you.  

Answer 10

You are in America.  Vote for anybody you want to.  That is your right.

You are not a traitor.  They are more of a traitor than you are.  For saying what they said to you.

Answer 11

Well, Just look what Bush did *points at gas prices* It will raise many more problems if McCain is elected. On the other hand I don't want to see someone so weird-looking like Obama in the W.H. So I wouldn't vote for Obama either.

Answer 12

I don't know, maybe if you talked about what issues and your stance on them we might be able to answer that better.

Answer 13

You didnt do anything wrong, you just studied the facts and made the right choice

Answer 14

sorry to tell you sweety...you got persuaded by your Republican teacher...try making your own decisions...

Answer 15

they think this is a game..and they are peer pressuring you.  It's almost a cult thing now...pathetic really...

You are a leader not a follower and you have already proven you know how to make your own decisions based on your own research.  You choose based on the direction you want the country to go in. It's that simple....and then don't discuss it.

My mom use to tell me it's her business who she votes for and nobody else.
