A few years ago I started following Barack Obama's career and immediately switched from Republican to Democrat. I previously believed in the Republican ideology until it completely collapsed on all Americans. The theory of giving to the rich does not help American capitalism. America just made that quite obvious.
Luckily, I predicted it happening long before our economy collapsed and saved my retirement funds from a complete disaster. Well, maybe not. We are not out of this economic mess yet.
I campaigned long and hard for President Barack Obama. During his campaign I put in at least 5 hours a day, 7 days a week promoting Obama's run for the Presidency. I studied his life and checked every rumor out thoroughly. I knocked on doors, made phone calls, participated in and developed forums, blogs, created web sites, made videos, donated money, meetings, TV, newspaper articles and press conferences. I attended two of his appearances in Indiana.

Not, because I drank the cool aid. I could see this man was a different politician from what I have experienced through out my lifetime. My personal investigations substantiated what I believed. His intelligence and compassion for all Americans, and the world for that matter, is sincere. I am betting on him and America. Time will be our judge.
I expect the Republican party to fail completely because their ideology has gone completely haywire. It has become a party of distrust. In the past I never believed the Republican party only favored the wealthy. Now, I am not so sure. Especially after Treasurer Paulson's bail out activities. I know this is very controversial, but it is my opinion.
Question: Why would anyone have voted Republican in the last general election? It is beyond my comprehension. But, who am I and what do I know? Visit my forum at US World Forums
