That, to me, is not substance. I am not voting for Obama, because just like you want a reason to vote AGAINST Obama, I want a reason to vote FOR Obama. Unfortunately, not one candidate that has a chance of reasonably winning the general election I have any interest in voting for. I disagree with McCain, and Clinton for sure. I have no idea where I stand with Obama, because Obama has not given me one reason to vote for him, other than words. Even Obama's cheerleaders (i.e. Bill Richardson) can only sit on the air and say things like "Hes the right candidate because hes going to bring change!". Others, like Kirk Watson, can't even list ONE legislative accomplishment.
I agree with you on this. I also view "Change" and "Hope" and "Unity" as bullshit as well. Talk is cheap. The reason Wright has been such a hot-fire issue with Obama is because Obamas entire campaign has been based upon things that Wright conflicts with.
You mean this? To me, this is completely fluff. There is nothing in there that describes how anything is going to get done. |
The "Hope" and "Change" stuff is marketing. People are not voting for Obama based on that. Listen to what he says on the issues. Every candidate has a marketing message. Hillary has "Solutions", "Ready Day 1" , etc. McCain has "I am an American.". You only remember Obama because he is the only Candidate that matters. Nobody cares about the other two slugs.
They all do the same thing. It is just that the media and the electorate is only focused on Obama. This entire election is just about Obama. I can not find the article now but it said 75% of the election news was about Obama and the remaining 25% was about Hillary and McCain. Hell, Rev. Wright gets more press than McCain.
