Who are you all voting for/wish you could vote for?
I'm for Obama to the end!
Just so you all know, I'm going to stop posting in this thread after this; just see how things turn out.
Actually, none of them deserve my vote, its just a bunch of liberals of various shades running.
So I'll vote against McCain in the Texas primary and figure out a write in for the general election

Liberalism refers to a broad array of related ideas and theories of government that consider individual liberty to be the most important political goal.[1] Liberalism has its roots in the Western Age of Enlightenment.
Broadly speaking, liberalism emphasizes individual rights and equality of opportunity. Different forms of liberalism may propose very different policies, but they are generally united by their support for a number of principles, including extensive freedom of thought and speech, limitations on the power of governments, the rule of law, the free exchange of ideas, a market or mixed economy, and a transparent system of government.[2] All liberals – as well as some adherents of other political ideologies – support some variant of the form of government known as liberal democracy, with open and fair elections, where all citizens have equal rights by law.[3]
Liberalism rejected many foundational assumptions that dominated most earlier theories of government, such as the Divine Right of Kings, hereditary status, and established religion. Social progressivism, the belief that traditions do not carry any inherent value and social practices ought to be continuously adjusted for the greater benefit of humanity, is a common component of liberal ideology. Liberalism is also strongly associated with the belief that human society should be organized in accordance with certain unchangeable and inviolable rights. Different schools of liberalism are based on different conceptions of human rights, but there are some rights that all liberals support to some extent, including rights to life, liberty, and property.
Within liberalism, there are two major currents of thought that often compete over the use of the term "liberal" and have been known to clash on many issues, as they differ on their understanding of what constitutes freedom. Classical liberals, believe that the provision of negative rights, that is freedom from coercion alone, constitutes freedom.[4] As a result they see state intervention in the economy as a coercive power that restricts freedom when enforced coercively by law, emphasize laissez-faire economic policy, and oppose the welfare state.[5] Social liberals argue that freedom from economic as well as physical coercion is necessary for real freedom. They generally favor such positive rights as the right to vote, the right to an education, the right to health care, and the right to a living wage. Some also favor laws against discrimination in housing and employment, laws against pollution of the environment, and the provision of welfare, including unemployment benefit and housing for the homeless, all supported by progressive taxation.[4]

So now they call themselves Progressives, as if the rest of American society is beneath them some how, and even worse, conservatives are some form of retarded cavemen. But, in my humble opinion, calling one self a Progressive reeks of college intelligensia snobbery or some other form of snobbery

Utterly shameful. I only wish this video showed Benny Hinn, Creflow Dollar, Paula White, Joyce Meyer, and the others that Grassley is investigating, blowing each other.

The rest of us can see their hatred of a wonderful word for what it is. Liberalism was a wonderful thing that led to the idea of human rights. Oh, that's right...human rights don't seem to be that important to the Republicans unless it helps them argue for unchecked breeding, which will lend itself to their sick evangelical prophecies of tragedy and suffering during the End Times...

By the way, the Hopi Indians and the Mayans both say the calender ends on December 21st 2012, are they part of the Reublican hate machine too?
