Reasons to vote for Obama.......

[jay_a2j]

Seriously, I'd like people to post REAL reasons to vote for this man. (I expect this to be a really short thread)

I can think of LOTS of reasons NOT to vote for him but am having trouble coming up with a single reason to vote for him.

[bedub1]

He's not rMoney.

[jay_a2j]

He's not rMoney.

Really? That's all you have? No wonder we keep electing these idiots.

[heavycola]

He's not rMoney.

[Frigidus]

He's not rMoney.

This is likely the #1 reason people will be voting for Obama.

Jay_a2j, I'm going to write you in for the job (though not on my main ballot, just my ballot stuffing ballots).

Because he is a Marxist.

I like Marxists

[MegaProphet]

Same here

[GreecePwns]

Because he is a Marxist.

I like Marxists

1/10, trolling needs significant improvement.

[Phatscotty]

Obama being a Marxist it totally a reason for a Marxist to vote for him!

[GreecePwns]

2.5/10 for persistence and continued lack of proof.

Oh okay, so a single quote from an aide referencing Mao in a positive light means Obama is a follower of the philosophy put forth by Marx.

I'm going to have to take off a point for maybe possibly believing the bullshit you are spraying.

I beleive that puts your troll score down to 1.5/10.

[Phatscotty]

I like how I'm a troll based on you not being aware of the evidence. Yes, Obama hiring, as his Communications Director, a Communist who adores Mao, is one little piece of evidence. Obama appointing Van Jones, another Marxist, as the Green Jobs czar, is another little piece of evidence. Obama hanging a Mao ornament on the White House Christmas tree, is yet another little piece of evidence. Obama being mentored fr years and year by an avowed Communist, Frank Marshall Davis (whom Obama references repeatedly in his own auto-biography) is another, much larger piece of evidence. His mother and his father were both Marxists/Communists....I mean, for Pete's sake man! Obama's parents met in a Russian Language class at the height of the Cold War against the Russians! Plus, there is probably a lot more evidence of Obama's Marxism in his college transcripts.

You take ALL these pieces of evidence, you add them up, and then you look at Obama's ACTIONS and WORDS "Spread the wealth" "you didn't build that", class warfare, racial politics......

it's okay, just call it what it is and stop hiding. Obama is a Marxist, through and through

All this time I thought he was a communist -- boy did I get them mixed up! Scotty, your present-day McCarthyism is getting out of hand, dude. Those things may be facts, but they're facts without a point. They don't accurately lead to any one conclusion.

Did you know that the father of Communism is Karl Marx? Did you seriously just try to distance Marxism from Communism?

[rdsrds2120]

Sounds like an accomplished man!

What is Obama's appointing the former head of Monsanto as the USDA head?
What is Obama's Affordable Care Act, which forces people to buy from private insurance?
What is Obama's warfare against a peaceful socialist nation in order to install another capitalist regime that will serve America's interests instead of those of its own people?
What is Obama's unwillingness to topple the government altogether?
What is Obama's bailout of the banks, as opposed to nationalizing them?
What is Obama's receiving of funding from multinational corporations to run for agovernment position?
What is Obama's support of Solyndra?
What is Obama's willingness to support banks by allowing them to remain at a size deemed too big to fail?
What is Obama's observing of Christmas? Alternatively, if you want to stay on the bat-shit crazy end, what is Obama's supposed Islamic belief, both of which are the opposite of the abolishment of religion?

Your claims are miniscule compared to mine. They are claims based entirely off connections to other people who may or may not hold certain views. EDIT: And even if they did hold said views, their policy has not reflected it one bit. Their holding a position in a nonrevolutionary, nontransitional government is contradictory to Marxism. Even if it wasn't their policy direction does not reflect anything espoused by Marx.

My claims are actual manifestations of his real political views. If he was a Marxist, he would not have done any of the above things, regardless of which supposed Marxist he talked to 25 years ago. Until you can answer these questions, your claim that Obama is a Marxist fails miserably.

And I'm learning the Arabic language as we speak, does that make me a proponent of al-Qaeda's or the Taliban's ideology? Which evil MIddle Eastern group am I 100% backing for learning their language? Perhaps I am a member of Golden Dawn neo-Nazi group for knowing Greek? Maybe I fought for the November 17 Group? Ohhh, I know English. I must be a KKK or IRA member then, since they know that language as well? I want to learn French as well, so I guess that means I am a flag-waver for Le Pen's party?

0/10. You actually beleive all these things.

I would not think so, but Homeland Security is another matter. They might make that jump to conclusions.

This poll should have also had an option 'Because he is from Kenya.'

And another one involving kittens somehow...

I've voted republican all my life. I'll never vote for rMoney. I'd like to vote for Herman Cain or Chris Christie. Unfortunately I live in Washington State, which votes democrat every single year, so for me voting doesn't accomplish much.

If I were to vote for him (I am currently undecided), it would be because he's the best-smelling pile of dung amongst the dung-piles.
