I am a Republican and voting for Obama on March 4th and in November
   
I am a 28 year old white male in Texas.

I am a Marine who spent 2 tours in Iraq - in 2004 and 2006

I am a Republican.

I am a Republican and voting for Obama on March 4th and in November

When I was deciding which candidate is the best to lead our nation, I came to only one person Barack Obama.

The problems we face in this country grow and fester and will just be passed on to our younger generations if we dont do something soon.

I am strict futurist and Obama will move us forward.

the republican party is full of a bunch of jokers right now. Sure, Obama is very liberal on a lot of issues, but he's got to be more conservative than the bozos who were in charge of congress since '94 (and who then lost it) on several different issues.

The most obvious is how the republicans have squandered all of our money. Say what you want about Bill Clinton, but at least he did what the republicans never seem to be able to do-- get a balanced budget. It's hard to believe that Obama will be as dumb as the republicans have been with our nation's money.

oh, please. :whatever:  what is a "strict futurist"?

I will vote against anyone who is for the war. Period.

15. good man
   
The military community likes Obama over all the other candidates. Unless they are die hard life republicans -- armed forces types respect Obama very much. He has been on the veterans committee and even visited with me for over an hour in Walter Reed when I was in recovery.

I am calling bullshit right here.  this is playing all of the liberal stereotypes (all soldiers sent to iraq are either killed or wounded, for one), and the crack about the The BarackStar! being the choice of the military just betrays abject ignorance of the military.

and the sign on "deadly aj" sounds like a liberal caricature of what they imagine armed forces personnel to be.

27. Welcome to DU, deadlyaj.
   
Many of our members are lifelong Republicans who recognize that their party has been hijacked by insane radicals and that the current Dem Party is actually more conservative in many ways than Nixon's Republican Party. I am a very progressive liberal, a John Edwards supporter, and I wish the Dems were more liberal than they are. But no matter how you slice it, they are certainly better than the crazy people running the Republican Partyy these days!

People like you are the ones we refer to when we say that there are a lot of sensible, decent people in the Republican Party, people we really could work with, but that they no longer have a voice in their own party, since it is controlled by the religious fundamentalists, the "war firsters," and the crony capitalists.

We are glad to have you here.

good GOD.  :thatsright: but you know, this could just about be the DU creedo, right down to the hopelessly delusional world view.

I am strict futurist and Obama will move us forward.By taking us back to the taxation of the Carter era combined with the feckless surrender to our enemies

the republican party is full of a bunch of jokers right now. Sure, Obama is very liberal on a lot of issues, but he's got to be more conservative than the bozos who were in charge of congress since '94 (and who then lost it) on several different issues.Please,just name one issue that Obama is conservative on.

The most obvious is how the republicans have squandered all of our money. Say what you want about Bill Clinton, but at least he did what the republicans never seem to be able to do-- get a balanced budget. It's hard to believe that Obama will be as dumb as the republicans have been with our nation's money.So a "futurist" and Marine wants to return to the days when we gutted our defense and intelligence capability to achieve on paper a balanced budget.

No matter what this person claims,his words show different or are just too clever by half.

This was my original thought on the OP:



Also, I looked up what a strict futurist is, Wretch:

Quote
Some strict futurists see in Revelation the expectation of a renewed Babylonian empire in the eschaton that will dominate the world and persecute the followers of Christ.
