Barack Obama Democratic Canadiate
 

Offically Barack Obama is the candidate for the Democratic Party to run in the general election. He was not my first choice to win, but I do like him over Hillary Clinton.

i see him still at 2109

he just needs 9 more & he's in



canadiate, huh? canadians will love that :D

Canadiate? Is there a joke there I'm not getting?

canadiates are hot.

it's a typo. he was excited.

I thought you had to be born Americate to become president of the USA.

I thought it might be, but in the title and his post. That's just sloppy.

You mean USiAte.

Seriously, feel like I'm in an english class.

English, capital E.

You guys need to learn about yr so-called "canidate of change". He's a member of the same Council On Foreign Relations as Dick Chenney. If you don't know what the CFR is, than I suggest you do some research. But in a nutshell, they're the master-minds behind this war we're in, & every other war we've been in. & ask yrself, if he's in w/ the same group as Dick Chenney, is he really gonna "change" anything?

i don't know, ron paul mouthpiece, ask tesla

2112 delegates & counting

I didn't say one word about Ron Paul, did I? Forget about Ron Paul for now, I'm talking about this bull-shit farse that every politician like Obama has kept repeating. That they are the ones for change, when in fact they are the same ones controling everything behind closed doors. I said it before, & I'll say it again, ANY candidate that says they are going to "Change" the way things are done, then they're really just saying, "Business as usual".

like that Who song?

But he's so pretty...

Of course there are things that will remain status quo, but the big business interests that surround the Republican party are so ruthless when it comes to getting richer that they step all over everyone else.
At least when a Democrat is in office, they try their best to help out people in the USA enough that we're living comfortably enough to ignore the huge problems like doing away with the Bill of Rights, the World Bank, and NAFTA.
And the wars that they get involved with usually have far fewer casualties at least they have since after Vietnam ended.

You never know. Perhaps he will surprise us all and try to really fix things. I just hope that he invests in a Popemobile.
He's gotta be better than another Republican.

what else should we do, vote for a third party?

It depends on which republican you're talking about, if it's McCain, then I agree. It'll be worse than Bush, but if you mean Ron Paul, then that's the exception. He's the only candidate, Democrat or Republican, to speak of the Bill of Rights & Constitution in his campaign.

People need to understand, it DOES NOT matter which party a person is in. They are two sides of the same coin. They both would rather sell-out the American individual's rights & liberties, for a chance to keep building the American Empire around the world.

I do agree w/ the fact that Obama is the more likely to get taken out.

now you did. am i clairvoyant or what?


Ron Paul would like that.

You liked Edwards i take it.
It was only a matter of time til he takes the nomination. But frankly im beginning to see McCain as someone whos gonna have to distance himself from the Bush administration so much that hes gonna hit the centre ground with Obama, theyre having a problem with McCain for not being a real Conservative arent they?

I might have to vote for Nader.

I can talk about who I want, when I want. & I didn't go off on a Ron Paul rant, someone spoke of the republican party, & I expressed my opinion on the candidates. Which is basically what this whole thing is about. So stop cherry picking my comments, & go vote for Barack (CFR trash). I'm sure things will "change" immediately.

nothing changes immediately unless a huge asteroid hits the planet

you've spoken of ron paul before so i knew where you were coming from.

im still writing in Shaq Daddy

I identify with old decrepit unkempt white men who don't make any sense.

Well, as for Obama. There will be NO change, at ANY time w/ him. You may ask yrself, how is it that the Democrats can win the House & Senate on a campaign of ending the war, & keep funding & sending in more troops? He is running on this very same principal. Promise change, & keep it the same. All I'm saying is stop eating the crap he's feeding you. & this goes for anyone.

I fear this myself. "It's time for a change!" Okay, great, I agree--what are you going to change? I've heard nothing that's any different from the usual rhetoric.

Nothing's going to change. The best we can hope for is that it gets no worse, and that, unfortunately, may be the best reason to vote for Obama. McCain will certianly make it worse. Unfortunately, Obama or any Democrat is not going to make it better.

democrats suck... srsly. we need a new Teddy Roosevelt

Its easy to be bitter and say that it doesn't matter who wins. Yet if nothing else I'm glad the Democrates didn't settle for voting for a name, unlike the Republicans. Who hero worship thier nominations. Who would love nothing more then to vote for another Bush or another Reagen. At least democrates didn't just hand over the nomination to someone out of familarity.

yeah, they just hand it over to the republicans

haha, john kerry... what a joke. seriously i just laugh/snicker whenever i think of that guy

at least the republicans nominated mccain and not huckaby...
and ron paul had a few good ideas but he is waaay conservative.

you really mean "u.s. american".

I don't care who! Just get it over and done with and vote for your president of earth!





This has been going on for ages! When-o-when will it end?

that will come soon enough.

At least he's the conservative of years past. A humble foreign policy, & limited government. That's what drew me to his camp.

I hate the Democratic party with a passion, but really after 8 years of W, wouldn't just about anybody make it better?

McCain scares me because I think he's made it pretty clear he's itching to get into it with Iran just like Bush was with Iraq. However, he's really not nearly as bad as Bush, and the people who pull his strings are not nearly as bad as the multinational oil companies behind W's administration.

Obama is considerably better than McCain, though, yes he is only going to get there by playing the disgusting party politics game with the full support ot the milk-toast and sold-out coalition that is the party of the Jackass. So be it.

I'm sure we all have a next door neighbor or somebody we go bowling with who is more honest, better qualified, and obviously more in touch with our values - so the self-righteously purist among us should forget about Nader, Paul, and the rest of the pretended-to-also-rans and just write in their buddy Trevor or Claire. It makes much more of a statement, and you know you like them after all!

Me, I'll swallow my pride and take the lesser of two evils, and just be glad that this time it's waaaaaay lesser than what we've gotten used to.

Go Obama.

At least this one won't be in the running:
