I support Sarah Palin as a conservative leader. I have always been a Democrat. I don't support Obama or his policies, nor do I support the Dems with their current political behavior. I never supported Obama's healthcare plan. What came to be
Obamacare is
not supported by a majority of the American people even though he was elected so that shouldn't confuse you. I turned to Fox because CNN became a surrogate for Obama (and a majority of American followed suit in going to Fox...Fox is still kicking behind and taking names)
Nothing I said below is contradictory. I am Pro-life. I believe whether
man has a law that makes abortion legal or illegal it between the woman and God about the life in her womb...as it has always been.
Reproductive rights go beyond roe v. wade.
Trinity Said:
I was addressing in general terms her blanket statement that true Democrats have to vote Party line no matter what. Specifically, I'm a Democrat and agree more with a Democratic Platform than any other. However, that does not mean I must always support the Party or its Nominee.
Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are both Democrats so they do have similar platforms. The Primary was so hard fought because they are not one in the same, they don't have the exactly the same positions on every issue and they don't have the same judgment, qualifications, experience or records.
A Democrat choosing between two Democrats will look at the few issue differences and the qualifications of the candidates to be the Best President. I agreed with Hillary Clinton's position on women's reproductive rights and trusted her record on the issue, I agreed with her Health Plan, I know her record on issues and what she has achieved throughout her life, I trusted her judgment on civil rights, national security, issues like FISA, gun control-- some of these issues where Obama has faltered. Obama has been running for president since he went to the IL Legislature. And has made contradictions on issues, changed his position on issues, skipped votes or voted present on issues. I don't trust what he will do on issues if elected.
The reason I do not support the Party's Candidate is twofold. I feel the Democratic Party candidate is not the best candidate for President and Obama is not qualified. And because the Democratic Party acted undemocratically in the nomination process which left this weak candidate with no validity for support because the process did not seem right.
