Pretty much. There's no way I'm voting for 4 more years of Bush.

I am neither a troll nor am I looking for someone that agrees with every platform of mine. But I would at least like to vote for someone that agrees with me on many of the issues I care about. Obama is against gay marriage, he wants to stay in Iraq and he's voted in favor of staying there every time he had the opportunity to stop it, he doesn't want universal healthcare, he doesn't want free and quality post secondary education for the working class , he wants to keep No Child Left Behind in place. Other than the (D) next to his name why should I vote for this guy?

This reminds me of when Nader stated there was no difference between Bush and Gore. Utter bullshit. Obama's the most liberal senator since McGovern? Hello, Russ Feingold anyone? For god sakes Bernie Sanders is a Socialist. I hope no one believes any of this crap. *Looks above* Too late.

Well, it's uncontroversial taht he has said what he's said the past few weeks. Execution for child rape? How dare the Supreme Court overturn that! Taxpayer money for churches? Sounds good to me! He's gone on the record in support of this stuff. In the meantime, NYT columnist and economist Paul krugman has always said, domestically, his platform was to the right of Hillary Clinton's, especially on health care, so there is no change in position on that. His plan wouldn't cover anyone, ergo it isn't universla health care. I remember ye olden days of, oh, 5 months ago, when universal health care was going to be, supposed to, THE big huge hot button issue this election. Now with this spate of policy changes I don't know what to make of it.

I had forgotten about him saying he wants to keep faith based initiatives. Has this guy even read the Constitution?
