I will vote for Obama. I do not agree with him on every position, similarly to how he doesn't agree with the Democratic Party on every position, but I do believe that the Dems come closer to my hopes for the future than the GOP. So I will vote, and I will pray, and if need be (to protect my family) I will stand beside my husband and expatriate.
I am not a Democrat...I am an Independent Liberal...closer to Green Party but none of my views line up enough with any party so the term Independent fits me well. I know alot of other Independent Liberals (birds of a feather:biggrin
and we were EXTREMELY upset with Obama from Day One....I wanted him to borrow Nancy Pelosi's Balls for just a week...but he won me over with his record on gay rights and how many gay people he has included in Washington....and he won me over slowly with his intelligence and thoughtfulness. Obama was initially my last choice...Hillary Clinton and Dennis Kucinich were my first (and only) choices.
I hate Obama Care but NOT for the same reasons Conservatives hate it. Hell...the plan we have now was the damn Republican Plan from a few years back so the protest is kinda funny but since the Republicans have moved so far to the right they don't even recognize it was their idea. The cornerstone of the liberal plan was PUBLIC OPTION and he threw that under the bus to please the Republicans who hate him and could care less what he proposes because they no longer legislate...they just say NO...
...so starting from the day he announced he supported gay marriage I am contributing to his campaign regularly and of course voting for him. I am so grateful for the people before me who stood up so I would have a chance and I owe it to the people behind me who might have a chance for full equality under the law., I don't agree with Mr Obama on alot of things but EQUALITY is something I feel very strongly about and even if it was a token to fire up his liberal base who might not have otherwise shown up at the voting booth...I am good with it.
