Aside from something negative about the GOP? Is it because you like continuing unnecessary wars and the Patriot act? Is it because you think we all should pay more taxes? Is it because you like the war on drugs? Guantanamo bay? Is it because you think anyone who opposes him is a racist?

Please explain with some decent reason, aside from picking the lesser of two evils as to why you support him.

i'm not for Obama, yet whilst he have been to win via a electoral college and then abolish it, he might seem helping a double commonplace. on an analogous time as that doesn't be any distinctive than maximum politicians, i might help the ending of the electoral college, no be counted who proposed it. the present gadget provides an area to those wearing the massive states and leaves the small states if truth be told unrepresented. With one person and one vote, all are represented incredibly devoid of bias in direction of CA, long island, OH, FL and so on.
