Thread Name: BS: Obama Battles 'Uncommitted' in Primary
Subject: RE: BS: Obama Battles 'Uncommitted' in Primary
The Democratic voters in the 3 states mentioned above chose (by about 40% in each case) to refute Obama. One group even chose a nonentity over Obama. That's how low his support is WITHIN HIS OWN PARTY.

The problem is that Obama's presumtive opponent Romney will just continue the Bush/Obama policies. More austerity, more gutting of social programming, more tax burden on the lower income brackets, more international wars, more internal spying and loss of freedoms.

I voted for Ron Paul this past week. I don't care for his economic policies, but he's promised to end the wars. That's why I voted for Obama the last time around. I have to go with the anti-war candidate.

Ron Paul would be gridlocked from day 1. And gridlock is a good thing. The Dems/Reps working together gave us the PATRIOT Act and the National Defense Authorization Act. So we need some gridlock.
