Voting my conscience NOT my party (NObama)

I suppose if you and other obama supporters keep saying it often enought you think that we will believe obama is inevitable and fall in line.

I for one will not support obama under any circumstances. What you and the others fail to grasp is that I (and millions of others) did not support Hillary Clinton because of her gender, just as I don't withhold support from obama because of his ethnic background. I researched the background and positions of both candidates and found obama seriously lacking in experience and integrity while Sen. Clinton has both in abundance.

If you examine the campaigns carefully, it was obama and his supporters who freely flung the dirt during the primaries. The obama camp played the race card to their advantage while the misogyny directed at Hillary and her supporters was, and is, outrageous.

So, no, I will not come around for the good of the party. I will cast my vote against obama for the good of the country.

Nobody's Afraid of michelle

Both obamas have a long and documented history of bigotry and yet they and their supporters constantly play the race card either to portray the obamas as victims or make a pathetic attempt to wrongly accuse those us who do not support the obamas as racists. It is a disgusting tactic and one that may be working because, unfortunately, too many people choose not to do their own research. How very proud michelle must be now.

As a long-time (30+ years) democrat, I will not cast a vote for the unqualified obama. I will vote for McCain or Hillary Clinton.

NObama!

Just Say NO to Unity

I can not and will not vote for the unqualified Obama. Without Hillary as the nominee, I have no other recourse but to vote for someone, anyone other than Obama. You might want us all in lockstep but I am hoping to send a very loud message to the DNC regarding their manipulation of the nomination process. So, to calls for unity, I'm singing no,no,no..no,no,..no,no,no!

Xanax = sad, pathetic, obamaton troll

These trolls are incabable of posting anything other than insults directed at those who refuse to support an unqualified candidate. His stand on the issues changes with the wind. These trolls are actually another compelling reason not to vote for obama. If this is the type of person that is attracted to obama then I know my decision is correct. There is no legitimate reason to support obama so they just harass everyone.

Original article: Obama camp strikes back

obama is the one on the offensive

obama's camp agressively attacks everyone they consider to be in opposition. This is one scarey group of people and obama is the scariest one of all.

Joe is wrong

The smart thing for Hillary to do would be to withdraw her support from the unqualified obama and fight for the nomination or run as an Independent. I will not throw away my vote on obama.

Correction

I WILL not throw away my vote on obama.

Biden

I did not support obama prior to the selection of Biden as his VP. Now that Biden is on the ticket... I still do not support obama. Nobody votes for the number 2 spot. Why would anyone suggest that this will have anything but the most minimal impact on the campaign?

Yes, yes, we know...

Anyone who doesn't support obama is a bigot. How convenient to use that lame excuse for obama's complete lack of qualifications. And if, hopefully when, he loses, it will be Hillary's fault.

Not an issue

This is just more of the same nonsense. obama has thrown more folks under the bus since the primaries began, starting with the man he could never disown and then promptly did when he became a political liability, i.e. Rev. Wright. And don't rely on someone else's view of obama's record, examine his actual votes yourself--they're listed on his own website.
