Comments on: Should Obama Get My Vote? http://southjerusalem.com/2008/05/should-obama-get-my-vote/ A Progressive, Skeptical Blog on Israel, Judaism, Culture, Politics, and Literature Sun, 05 Feb 2012 12:35:48 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: Cybercorrespondent http://southjerusalem.com/2008/05/should-obama-get-my-vote/comment-page-1/#comment-3927 Cybercorrespondent Tue, 28 Oct 2008 19:43:26 +0000 http://southjerusalem.wordpress.com/?p=146#comment-3927 Questioning the American Bolshevik views 1. Is wealth redistribution taking money from stockholders and redistributing it to those who don’t pay taxes? 2. Is it more important to make sure that illegal votes are not disenfranchised or making sure that groups like ACORN do not nullify honest votes. 3. Would premature U.S. withdrawal from Iraq grand jihadists a victory and make all of our accomplishments, money spent and lives lost a big waist? 4. Can this country afford to grant socialist Democrats total control of the government and allow them to sacrifice our safety by cutting the military budget by 25%? Now comes the big question. How do we stop socialism from ruining our lives? The answer is simple. Don’t vote American Bolsheviks into power and boycott the socialist propaganda media into bankruptcy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjvBEKrGkDI Cybercorrespondent Questioning the American Bolshevik views

Sounds like "political correctness" taken to its ultimate extreme. Mr Hilborn,

In other words, you are saying the American voter is morally obligated to vote for Obama because he is black, in order to prove that the United States has overcome its legacy of racism, regardless of his qualifications, or lack thereof, for the Presidency.

I say this though I so strongly feel the need for a new Democratic administration in the U.S., and we could be in a situation where, again, every vote counts. But it's really insufficient to state that what happens in the U.S. strongly affects you and your family. It certainly does. Yet citizens of virtually every other nation can say the same, and most of those people don't have the option of voting in the U.S. What happens in Israel obviously affects me as well (because of my grandchildren there), but I can't vote in Israel. What's fair is fair.
