Why do people like obama so much?

Hitler once said that the perfect race was a human that had blues eyes and blonde hair... then he carried out one of the most horrible holocausts ever! Obama is pro choice and he's also trying to put another bill for babies that survive abortions to get...

killed as soon as there born! There you go! Another holocaust!!! Why do people cry and get mad when kids get raped, kidnapped, and then murdered. Abortion is murder PERIOD! I don't care how good Obama's health care plan is or his Audacity of hope book. If he's with abortion he won't have my vote!What do yall think?

Obama ... also trying to put another bill for babies that survive abortions to get killed as soon as there born!

As hard as it is to argue with someone who is so obviously confused and misled, here goes. sigh...

1. Obama IS NOT proposing anything to kill babies if they live through an abortion. Several years ago there was a law up for vote in Illinois, the Born Alive Infants Protection Act, which sought to mandate safeguards regarding this.
Obama and several others voted against it because it had no provision for protection of the doctors, nurses and hospitals. When that clause was added, he voted FOR it.
Please, before you try to make an argument, get your facts straight.

2. Actually, BOTH candidates support a woman's right to choose. Just in different situations.
The position that McCain is anti-abortion is incorrect. McCain does support abortion in cases where there is rape, incest or the mother's life is at risk.
Both candidates support a woman's right to choose.
If a woman is pregnant due to rape, she can choose to have an abortion. Both McCain and Obama support her right to choose.
If a woman is pregnant due to rape by her father or brother, she can choose to have an abortion. Both McCain and Obama support her right to choose.
If a woman is pregnant and the pregnancy is placing her life at risk, she can choose to have an abortion. Both McCain and Obama support her right to choose.

McCain supports a woman's right to choose under certain circumstances.
Obama supports a woman's right to choose.
Again..BOTH candidates support a woman's right to choose, just for different reasons.

3. How dare you compare Obama to Hitler. That is insulting on so many levels, I don't know where to start. I AM JEWISH AND I AM INSULTED.

You are an obviously brain washed young woman who should quit watching FOX News, quit listening to others on this site who are just as confused as you, and quit listening to whatever uneducated idiot is feeding you these lies.

Examine an issue, research your facts and THEN make an argument.
If not, you will come off just as you did...stupid.

If he's with abortion he won't have my vote! Thank god you are too young to vote. I don't mind a conservative republican, but I can't tolerate an idiot.

Obmama and McCain both support woman's rights to choose - *BUT* Palin doesn't. Who cares though, Obama is all that matters. I like him because he seems so down-to-earth.

I agree with you I dont like him at all my brother is in the marines and obamas going to change it so that he wont be able to own a hand gun for self protection outside the services... I think thats stupid!

MCCAIN AND PALIN are IDIOTS THEY know NOTHING ON what THERE DOING OBAMA ROCKS!

amandaholcomb

CLEARLY you know nothingg about the subject if MCCAIN AND PALIN are IDIOTS THEY know NOTHING ON what THERE DOING OBAMA ROCKS

Is all you can answer.

Give me a clear reason why?

McCain and Palin are not idiots, clearly they've made mistakes but that doesn't mean they are.

Aaaahhh...Democracy ...I'm Australian so I won't comment.

I think comparing abortion to the Holocaust is a perfectly logical way to start a debate on such a topic. By doing that, you've set the tone for a discussion where people will remain calm and maintain respect for each other's views despite any disagreement. I commend you on avoiding any straw man arguements.

I could ask the same of Sarah Palin- why do people like her so much? A woman who is so naive, she's going to push for abstinence only education, which will inevitably lead to more people getting abortions, because they were not educated on the use of contraceptives.

If you are pro-life, I don't think you should go by that lightly. You should honor all living things- that means no using bug spray, no medicine if you have a tapeworm, no eating meat, and no anti-bacterial hand wash. Those are all examples of life, and a life is a life, it doesn't matter what form it comes in... right?

Plus, you're 15- good luck with that whole voting-before-you're-legally-able thing.

Im not voting

Obama actually has great ideas compared to the other idiots that have none.

Okay first of all, I want you to look up the statistics on how many woman do get a third term abortion. Or how many babies actually survive an abortion. I'm sure you'll find the number to be rather LOW LOW LOW. And second Obama doesn't necessarily agree with the 3rd term abortion, he just feels that if something is wrong with the mother or baby, than the MOTHER has the choice on what to do. AND the doctor.

And you shouldn't pick a candidate based on one of his/her policies.

Thank god you can't vote.

OBAMA IS THE WAY!!!
people need an abortion..someitmes they just cna't go through with having a child..just because your not pregnant doesn't mean is you were you would go thorugh with it. peeple have a right to an abortion cause it's their choice NOT YOURS...yea abortion is killing a baby but most likely the baby would have dies l8er on or suffered a hard life because the mother wasn't ready to have a kid. an aboriton IS A WOMANS DECIONS to have one or not..if your against it then so b it but it's not your choice to abolish it..I'd b damwed if they got rid of an abortion

STEPH, McCain does NOT support a woman's right to choose. He is anti-choice and anti-family planning. The ONLY way he is less extreme than Palin is that he does support abortion in the case of rape and incest. McCain has bragged about receiving a rating of zero from Planned Parenthood.
Palin is against all abortions no matter what.

I am for Obama for a number of reasons, first he is pro-choice (he is NOT pro-abortion. No one is. For any reasonable person, choosing to get an abortion is a weighty and life-changing choice.)
Next, his TONE during his campaigns has been inspiring hope, And some of our best Presidents have done that. (Lincoln, for example). Whereas McCain seemed to be bent on instilling fear, especially before the mortgage meltdown took center stage. (Which developed during McCain's long tenure, incidentally)
Also, McCain has been a 90% copy of Bush during the last 8 years, and Bush's administration is ruining America, and America's ability to lead the world.

OK, I'm stopping now. I promised myself only 2 political responses a day, so I'm off to find another.
To everyone,
Take care, and
Good Luck!!

Incidentally, according to Godwin's Law, as soon as you compare someone to Hitler, you instantly lose the debate. Sorry.

***And you shouldn't pick a candidate based on one of his/her policies***

And what would suggest that we pick our candidates by??? Their hair?? Their aura?

p

I think his point is that you shouldn't pick a candidate based on _only_ one policy. Hypothetically, if the options are someone who disagrees with you on one point but will otherwise usher in a new golden age, or someone who agrees with you on that point but wants to convert the US to a dictatorship, which would you prefer?

I found what the original asker seems to be talking about. It's not a bill that he's trying to promote - it's an issue regarding a bill he voted on in the past (_not_ one he put forward). It's been misconstrued and used in a smear campaign against him. Here's the lowdown: http://www2.islandpacket.com/blogs/post/34706

From that article:
* At the time Barack voted against a bill containing language designed to protect infants who were “born alive,” such protection was ALREADY on the books as Illinois state law.
* The accusations against Barack are so reckless that NOT EVEN THE REPUBLICAN state senator who sponsored the bill will support them. In fact, he freely admits that “NONE of those who voted against SB-1082 favored infanticide.”
* The bill was opposed by many legislators and groups like the Illinois Medical Society because of the unintended impact it would have had on other laws and legal precedents in Illinois.
* Barack is on the record saying that he would have supported a similar bill that came up in Congress -- but that didn’t pose a threat to a woman’s right to choose the way the Illinois bill did.

And here's a much more detailed and nuanced rebuttal of the whole situation, from none other than Time magazine: http://www.time.com/time/politics/article/0,8599,1849483,00.html?imw=Y

All of which just goes to show that it's a good idea not to rely on the veracity of attack ads without doing some fact checking yourself. Such ads are _designed_ to be misleading and to press buttons without regard for accuracy.

because he's a democrate and since Bush was republican and now Mcain is I dont think people trust the republican side

plus obama is a intelligent person , who in his speechs shows that he cares and that he will make a change.

p

ONE of his/her policies.
She said she didn't care what else he was for/against.
She only cared about his decision on abortion.

Obviously you mis-read my comment.
