Think for yourself. I am so sick and tired of people like you parroting, without question, the line you have been spoonfed: "Obama is empty, no substance, socialist, etc., etc." How are you any different from the people in Soviet Russia who accepted, without question, the party line they were fed? You are not. Think for yourself. If you can't do that you deserve to be disenfranchised.
I did not just one day have an "epiphany" and decide to support Obama. I have been following his career and learning about him and his stands on issues since he came on the natinal scene. Mine is a well-informed decision. I have also educated myself on John McCain. I have made a well-informed decision not to support him. (And, there was a time when I was open to voting for him.)
An ill-informed, uneducated electorate leads down the road from democracy to tyranny. This is patriotism? I think not.
