The most disgusting reason ever was given to me recently as why NOT to vote for Obama.
Get this, he will be assassinated within 6 weeks of taking office, so if I want him to continue to be influential, I shouldn't vote for him. Voting for him is like giving him a death sentence. Freak of nature voted for Bush twice, says she has thought about voting for Obama for "selfish" reasons, but that McCain is the best choice for the country. She's lucky I didn't slug her.

1. I know someone that said that very same thing.
Also a Bush 2x voter, also voting for McCain. Morons.

2. Racists are twisting themselves into knots coming up with rationalizations.
Somebody should compile all the bizarre excuses into a book. It would be a good window into the minds of white supremacists.

6. For them to disguise their anti-support of Obama as an altruistic, "I'm just thinking of them" is
like the people who say "no offense" right before they're about to say some truly offensive crap and think that they can get away with it.

5. I feared greatly for Bill Clinton in 1996
I felt there was no way the RW would allow him to remain the president. I felt very strongly that they would take a shot at him and quite possibly take him out.

I was wrong about the taking a shot at him. But I was right that they would try to take him out. And they did that in 1998 with the impeachment.

I have the very same fears times 10 now for Obama. The RW got John, Bobby and Martin. They will go after Obama.

7. Yeah, that'll keep people from voting!
Imply that we're too wimpy and incompetent to protect our President?

These people are a bunch of crack monkeys, flinging poo and seeing what sticks.

8. Well, Since McCain
is likely to keel over from heart failure within six weeks of taking office, that kind of evens the playing field, doesn't it?

:crazy:

democrats less enthusiastic.

13. I would just reply
