The Speculation

[wearedna]

Sarah Palin? Really?

It seems like a blatantly contrived attempt to grab disgruntled Hillary supporters. I just worry that it might work.

Doesn't really matter either way. It's all a manufactured illusion of choice.

Pretending that something doesn't exist won't make it go away. Just because the choices are limited doesn't mean they are illusory.

Personally, I find Obama to be the first candidate I'll actually vote for instead of simply voting against the candidate I despise. He's a bit more moderate/centrist than I'd like--I'd prefer somebody who was actually more of a social democrat/liberal, like the Right-Wing Media has tried to paint him--but he supports nearly all of the views that I've been looking for in a candidate:

• he's against the war in Iraq and has been from the start;
• he's a strong proponent of renewable energy and plans to create incentives to grow the eco-friendly energy industry in America, creating thousands of new jobs (especially for returning veterans);


• he's pro-choice;


• he champions universal access to healthcare;
• he's in favor of equal rights for everyone (homosexuals, Muslims, atheists, and women included);

LJ apparently has some anti-libertarian streak because the system kept reva55holay's reply from being posted. He sent it to me via email instead. It's too long for one reply (max character length is 4300) so I'm breaking it into two

"he wants to reform immigration laws to give more people a chance to live and work legally in this country instead of living in fear of the migra and undercutting American jobs

And he talks smart on the important issues.

Shades of Thomas Dolby!

One could even say that he blinded me with science.
