Voices: Give me a reason

— Someone out there better come up with a very good reason to vote for Barack Obama. Why should I vote for someone who wants to make us a socialist country? Spread the wealth, huh, do you people out there know what that really means to you? Probably not. The people at the top will “have” and you will “have not.” Go back to school, take history, and this time pay attention.
Socialist countries do not last, they collapse on themselves. Ever hear of Nazi Germany? What about socialized medicine? Do you think it really works? Talk to someone from Canada. Find out the truth for a change, if you are so anxious for “change.”
And just how much do you figure Obama, Barney Frank and Nancy Pelosi will cough up out of their own pockets?
Why would I vote for someone who is all for abortion? Statistics show that mostly the white population uses birth control and the ever-present abortion. Our numbers are dwindling, and Obama wants to keep it that way. Ever think about that?
What about the name Barack Hussein Obama? How American is that? It’s Arab. Why does Obama surround himself with radicals and America-haters? Why not distance himself from these types if he is such a good American and patriotic?
And who “lobbied” him during this financial crisis, and what did he get out of it? I’m sure there is more, but someone out there better come up with a very good reason to vote for this “politician.”
