Know the facts.

I'm so tired of hearing about politics. So what? Obama won. Yeah, I'm extremely happy that he did. Why is it that when people hear OBAMA they think BABY KILLER. Just because he's a democrat does NOT mean that he's a baby killer. Who are we to judge him? And don't be a racist either. Stupid people are saying "oh well, he only won because he's black". Whoo, big deal.
The NUMBER ONE topic amongst my friends is abortion. Oh well, Obama is for abortion. These are from the actual websites.
John McCain--John McCain believes Roe v. Wade is a flawed decision that must be overturned, and as president he will nominate judges who understand that courts should not be in the business of legislating from the bench. However, the reversal of Roe v. Wade represents only one step in the long path toward ending abortion. Once the question is returned to the states, the fight for life will be one of courage and compassion - the courage of a pregnant mother to bring her child into the world and the compassion of civil society to meet her needs and those of her newborn baby.
Barack Obama--
Barack Obama understands that abortion is a divisive issue, and respects those who disagree with him. However, he has been a consistent champion of reproductive choice and will make preserving women's rights under Roe v. Wade a priority as President. He opposes any constitutional amendment to overturn the Supreme Court's decision in that case. Barack Obama is an original co-sponsor of legislation to expand access to contraception, health information and preventive services to help reduce unintended pregnancies. Introduced in January 2007, the Prevention First Act will increase funding for family planning and comprehensive sex education that teaches both abstinence and safe sex methods. The Act will also end insurance discrimination against contraception, improve awareness about emergency contraception, and provide compassionate assistance to rape victims.

Wow. He's SUCH a baby-killer.

I just wish people would find out the facts before they open their mouths. I want to be able to hold an intelligent conversation with someone without feeling like I'm going to be bashed for my opinions. Yeah, if I could have voted I WOULD have voted for Obama. I agree more with his views on major issues. Don't bash someone for their opinions. I'm pretty sure there's this little thing called "Freedom of Speech" and it's been around for a while. Maybe you should look that up.
So unless you know the actual issues, keep your mouth shut.

My favorite ignorant political thing is when people are asked why they voted Obama they say "because I didn't want to be racist" or "because we're both black"

thats not the issue that made me choose mccain. what about his lack of experience or how we have already recieved a threat resulting from this election. baby killing may be the hot topic amoung the genuine ignorant american but it wasnt what led me to believe omama wasnt the right or wise choice. i guess only time will tell.
