No, you're not a concern troll, KateTex
Just a troll. Allow me to explain the difference. A concern troll pretends to be on the side of the people they're arguing against, but they're just "concerned" that that person may be on the wrong track. You, however, lose all your concern troll street cred, and just move into plain old troll territory, when you post crap like this:
At this point, absolutely nothing in my conscience tells me I have any obligation at all to vote for Obama should he become the nominee. I don't believe him much of the time, nor do I believe in him, or even like him. You can call that racism; I call it my right to make a judgment based on the available evidence.
You seem to forget the past 8 years. 8 LONG years of Republican lock-step voting, abuse of executive power, nomination of reactionary "federalists", cronyism, corruption of the constitution, and other treasonous crimes that have been perpetrated by the Bush administration. Furthermore, I'm only 31, but it seems I'm more familiar with Republican rule than you are. Every single Republican in the last 50 years has saddled us with debt (currently 30k per USA citizen), gotten us into pointless wars, and furthered the divide between rich and poor. If that isn't reason enough to vote for someone who professes progressive ideals, even if you are skeptical, nothing is.
In case you can't tell, I'm skeptical as hell of your (allegedly progressive) candidate. I see her as a typical, DLC, "Democrat," long on promises and short on delivery, like her husband. But will I vote for her if she pulls off her miracle? YOU BET YOUR ASS I WILL! We can't afford McCain. McCain is the END of our country. You think it's hyperbole? Go ahead with your clowning. Vote for McCain, or refuse to vote for Obama, it's really the same thing. I will move to Vancouver, and cry out to the winds, and pray for you all.
