Can someone nicely tell me the reasons you support Obama?


I just can't figure it out...it SEEMS alot of people support him b/c he's the "popular" choice or because he's black. What is he going to do that benefits you?


Thanks in advance

In your own words..."Pro-life to me means"


Doesn't mean the same thing to everyone.

But they chose to enlist & go.


They did their time and lived up to their contract BUT the Army makes them stay in longer.


I didn't realize they could be forced to stay in longer.

And for me, I think life is far more than from the moment of conception to the moment of live birth.


Here's an example:


My middle child has born with three major heart defects.

You can be anti-choice and pro-death penalty and pro-war. I believe the exact opposite of all of those things, but of course you can hold all three of those beliefs. I don't however, understand how someone can call themselves "pro-life" and only be meaning a zygote/embryo/fetus. What about the innocent people on death row? And please, don't tell me that there aren't innocent people because I can assure you that there are. What about the innocent civilians that are casualties of war, including children and pregnant women? How are those lives less valuable to a "pro-life" person than an unborn z/e/f?


I will never understand the oxymoronic term "pro-life" unless it is being applied to someone who views all life as being precious, without limitations.

The fact that he will require healthcare for all children who are currently uninsured has absolutely no bearing on your current healthcare plan.
