- trunkster, on 02/02/2008, -13/+2In some states if you vote during a primary you have to vote for the same party's candidate during the election in November. So for all those Ron Paul supporters: don't get stuck voting for McCain (actually don't vote at all if it comes to that), instead vote for someone who can actually make a difference: Obama.
- musleypope, on 02/02/2008, -1/+8That is not true.
- echolyean, on 02/02/2008, -6/+1Either of you able to cite a source for that information?
- 1337Einstein, on 02/02/2008, -1/+3Only trunkster needs to cite, since he's the one making the claim and musleypope is merely contesting it.
- echolyean, on 02/02/2008, -1/+2Alright, I'll agree with that. Still, I'm not sure what the point of being dugg down is for just wanting to see some references for statements being made. Perhaps it's revenge for all the times teachers handed papers back for not including a proper bibliography. But whatever, no big deal.

- facelesscoward, on 02/06/2008, -0/+1Thinking it is true is understandable. Often, the party does require that you sign a statement pledging your vote in the general election. The statement, of course, is non-binding, and it wouldn't matter anyway because they can't follow you into the voting booth.
- echolyean, on 02/02/2008, -6/+1Either of you able to cite a source for that information?
- THEROC, on 02/02/2008, -1/+5Every single statement of yours is false.
- musleypope, on 02/02/2008, -1/+8That is not true.
- dogster, on 02/02/2008, -12/+8Is Obama change? http://youtube.com/watch?v=PVKSfwfy0h8
- dukeeeey, on 02/02/2008, -10/+3if the media pushes him, hes certainly not change
- leidendude, on 02/02/2008, -3/+6Voting to continue funding in Iraq doesn't mean you are funding the war in Iraq it means you are funding the the troops in Iraq. There's a big difference between supporting the war and supporting the troops. *****.
- Hipple, on 02/02/2008, -2/+3The Ron Paul supporters don't appreciate your logic. Look: Ron Paul is change, Obama is not. Don't try to explain anything, just accept it.
- dukeeeey, on 02/02/2008, -10/+3if the media pushes him, hes certainly not change
- RIMberry, on 02/02/2008, -11/+4But he's Black! And he's Young! And he talks with enthusiasm!
Oh and he's Cool! Vote for Obama!
*sarcasm- Altoidsxcore1, on 02/15/2008, -0/+1Or,
Vote for him because hes a much better candidate than anyone else out there?
***** Troll
- Altoidsxcore1, on 02/15/2008, -0/+1Or,
- JimmySpaza, on 02/02/2008, -9/+3Interesting but sad. Most of those energetic youth can't change a flat tire on a car, name all Supreme Court justices, recite the Bill of Rights in the U.S. Constitution, or even quickly locate America on a map.
But they sure know all about Obama, Oprah, college football, and the new line of cosmetics from Mabelline.
It would be nice if substance, not just style, attracted the youth. And it would be nice if politicians ran on substance, not just style.
And if you think that Obama is not a politician at heart, would lie if needed, and make deals behind the scenes, then you've been suckered by his advertising.- iAlex, on 02/02/2008, -6/+3Exactly. He has hired some good speechwriters. It is sad that people are falling for this. Some rather vote for someone with charisma than for someone's voting record and positions.
- Hipple, on 02/02/2008, -2/+6Wow, your insight into the hearts and minds of both Obama supporters and Obama himself is astounding. You think most young Obama supporters couldn't locate America on a map? Are you serious?
Most people in America couldn't name all the Supreme Court justices or recite the Bill of Rights, and that includes most supporters of whatever candidate you support. See, I can make broad generalizations with no evidence to support them, too.- fraglessone, on 02/02/2008, -6/+2He's right, most of the people I know that are voting for Obama don't know *****.
- Brian48216, on 02/05/2008, -1/+1Because-
OMG OMG OMG
CFR!
PATRIOT ACT!
FEDERAL RESERVE!
NEW WORLD ORDER!!!!!!!!!
RP RP RP RP RP RP
I WAS NEVER LOVED AS A CHILD.
If the people who vote for Obama don't know *****, I'd say Obama supporters and Ron Paul supporters are about on even ground then.
- Brian48216, on 02/05/2008, -1/+1Because-
- fraglessone, on 02/02/2008, -6/+2He's right, most of the people I know that are voting for Obama don't know *****.
- iAlex, on 02/02/2008, -9/+2Barack Obama voted for reauthorization of Patriot Act, Real ID and funding of Iraq War. Ron Paul did neither of these. The choice is easy.
- Altoidsxcore1, on 02/15/2008, -0/+1Yes, Ron Paul and his 16 delegates!
HELL YEA!
/super sarcasm?
- Altoidsxcore1, on 02/15/2008, -0/+1Yes, Ron Paul and his 16 delegates!
- iPissExcellence, on 02/02/2008, -8/+1CHANGE! wow what a concrete slogan...
-You said we would get change, man.
-Yeah, I changed my tie. Now go fugg yourself, white boy. - jamesalfaro, on 02/02/2008, -1/+6Young voters want a different kind of politician, one who can restore hope for all Americans, and unite the country. Obama truly is the right choice because he cares about everyday people. Nobody else running for president, besides Obama, has jumped off the career track for three or four years to help other people. Just look at his past accomplishments.
Obama was a community organizer and led a voter-registration effort in Chicago that added tens of thousands of people to the rolls. He was a civil rights attorney and taught at one of the nation's premier universities. He helped pass complicated measures in the Illinois legislature on the death penalty, racial profiling, health care and more. In Washington, he has worked with Republicans on nuclear proliferation, government waste and global warming, amassing a record that speaks to a fast start while lacking the heft of years of service. After college, Obama moved to Chicago for a low-paying job as a community organizer. He worked with poor families on the South Side to get improvements in public housing, particularly the removal of asbestos. Obama also fought for student summer jobs and a program to keep at-risk children from dropping out of school. More importantly, say those who worked with Obama, he showed people how to organize and confront powerful interests. Obama was elected to the Illinois state Senate in 1996, when Democrats were in the minority. He proposed hundreds of new laws, including universal health care, tougher gun control and expanded welfare. He passed legislation sharply restricting the gifts that Illinois politicians could accept from lobbyists. Illinois has notoriously weak government ethics laws, and the Gift Ban Act was the first major new restriction since the Watergate era.

Instead of really looking at the issues, we have this OBAMA supporter acting as a bigot. For the truth of the matter, Hillary Clinton worked in the Carter Administration and got health-care for children. That is a fact, and today we have the S Chip for children that the republicans wont fund properly. She also worked on getting women into business, and provided grants for small businesses. She wants to fund student loans by $10,000 and a relief of debt if the person works in public service for a time period. Obama wants to give $4,000 and no relief of debt. Educated, it is just the branding of the media not to truly tell the differences in what these people stand for. As far as Obama for cleaning up our pollution mess, he rolled over in Illinois so a nuclear plant did not have to give any notification of nuclear leaks. We are going to end up with another Bush due to uneducated people not searching for the facts. I will not vote for Obama, I will vote for McCain he will clean up the environment if he does not flip flop. And, sorry for all the kids that will have to fight the 100 year war. Their ignorance really mattered! Also, Obama did not propose Universal healthcare in Illinois. A LIE
- SheilaNoya, on 02/02/2008, -2/+4But will the young people actually get off their butts and vote this time? Let's hope so.
In 2006, less than 26% of young people (ages 18 to 29) even bothered to vote. Don't make that same mistake again.

- georgemason01, on 02/02/2008, -2/+2How many of them know what the federal reserve is?
- Brian48216, on 02/05/2008, -0/+1I know what it is.
The question is do you know what it really is? Or do you know the tin foil hat version of the story?
- Brian48216, on 02/05/2008, -0/+1I know what it is.
- thomoore, on 02/02/2008, -1/+1By winning lily-white Iowa, Mr. Obama has created an entirely new dynamic for our society at large. This article
http://www.scragged.com/articles/king-obama.aspx
explains how the backward-looking black leaders who want to keep people down support Hillary while the forward-looking leaders who want their people to grow and advance support Mr. Obama. See also:

Institutionalized racism is over, old-style leaders had better get used to it. HOWEVER, as was pointed out above, not many of our young people know much about how the country actually works. This is because we're relied too much on the government to provide schools, as opposed to paying for schools. This article
http://www.scragged.com/articles/government-dont-k ...
explains why public schools don't work. I'm amazed that inner city people don't force the schools to perform better. Maybe a new leader will encourage them to do so and we'll all be better off. - Laiden, on 02/04/2008, -1/+2I'm in Canada, even though I love how our government works and I have no problem with it's choices as of late, I am very jealous that the US has the chance to elect a visionary such as Obama.
- sobersociety, on 02/10/2008, -1/+0Obama is inspiring young people because this generation has not lost hope. Please register to vote, and cast that ballot for Obama. It is okay to believe in a vision for a better world!
