Ohio Primary Voting Decisions

"Who to Vote for is a Critical Issue?"

Annamarie
Voting my conscience is a difficult and tenacious struggle during these campaigns because it appears that from moment to moment there is another critical issue to critically consider; before going to the voting booth and casting a definite ballot. I have written a few opinion papers based on my search for who to vote for; as our next President/ Commander and Chief and now I have made a final a decision; after months of contending with this uncomfortable pebble of conscience poking in my guts. I finally realized that this pebble poking in my guts is that I did not want to vote for Obama although he is a motivator and effective speaker. As an independent voter , I do think independently, and long and hard about what perspective I want the candidate I vote for to possess. I certainly do not want an emotionally pseudo-reasoner to be President. I absolutely want a President who will uphold our constitution as a democratic and free country .It's ironic that Barrack Obama's campaign speeches motivated me to chooset Hillary Rodham Clinton. She has the tenacity to do the job as our country's bypartisan leader. I have researched candidates political and career paths, read and reread their voting records, and observed them in debates, try to understand their hidden agendas in their advertising an thus will not vote for Obama because of his emotionally charged persuaive lawyer/paster presentaions. Rather I needed to change my voting decision to a critically thinking Presidential Candidate who is factual and bipartisan a motivating speaker. I am very uncomfortable voting for Barrack Hussein Barack because, in my humble opinion, I see him as a dedicated motivating speaker that has experience as a community grassroots fundementalist pastor who advocates for his faith rather than for freedom of religious choice.and not as a politician that supprts separation of church and state. Of course it is just my perspective as an independent voter I am concerned that his motivating "pulpit" type recruitment efforts enlightened me to seek change in who I will vote for and not who I be follow as a candidate.I admire Obama's expertise as an effective communicator but my President must have a very bipartisan motive of change and believe in the value of separation of church and state'in my opinion Obama does not convey that value, at least for by vote. . I am not convinced nor has he persuaded me that without his lawyer demeanor as a motivational speaker that he does not have a hidden agenda of perhaps having ideas of change related to bringing his fundamentalism to the oval office as his primary plan. Perhaps I am wrong but in good conscience I can not vote for a candidate who is presenting himself as a catalyst of change and not inform his potential voters as to what he is trying to persuade us to change to do.I wholeheartedly believe he is intelligent . However, intelligence is not the only criteria for voting for our next President. How about critieria of a set of beliefs in our constitution so that his voting records and his professional relationships with all government officials is an alliance not a marketing too. I will not vote for him because he has convinced me with his repetive motivating speakers that I do not want him to represent me as my Commander and Chief. I do not want our great democracy to become a religious path that leads to fundementalism based on anyone's lecturing skills that reminds me of pulpit recruitment testamonies. Rather, I want my next President to not be an emotional reasoner but have applied working knowledge that leads us to freedom and peace keeper throughout all faiths and political parties. of being motivated toward their rigid perspectives. If our next President's is not a critical thinking reasonable bipartisan leader who wholeheartedly believes in separation of church and state than we are headed for a more stressful challenge tthan Bush has given us. We must avoid getting caught up in motivating speeches by an attorney who is also pastoring us and trying to guide us to his belief system of the right path down the wrong road. Our country is based on not having to worry about persuasive religious based leaders in our oval office. President's who think they have everyone else's answer of faith and honor are not getting my independent vote. The United States history shows us that when this land was The First Nation of Native Americans and the fundementalist came into power there were no biartisan alliances that protected our constitution; there was the Indian removal by Andrew Jackson which destroyed the first democracy of this country that Native Americans wrote before any Euroasians even thought about coming to the new promise land called "America.". I am convinced that Hillary Rodham Clinton is the most effective critical thinker with the most reasonable and logical plan for our path to stay a democratic and free nation that does not misintepret our constitution to suit a political leaders pursuit to recruit member for their own faith. I hope that all Americans vote their conscience using thought provoking questions seeking answers from the candidates actual voting records, political agendas and careers, so that we do not mistakenly vote for the wrong candidate based on an emotionally charged issue that will not keep us a free wiil country. May we all be informed voters and make our ballots count as a conscience vote that represents fairness for all American Citizens. I deeply respect differences of perspectives politically and religiously but I do not respect manipulation from a pulpit that will turn us against each other and not be bypartisan.

What is the truth behind campaign speeches? Who is the person behind campaign speeches ? What are the hidden agendas that politicans used to persuade us to follow them as Leaders? Why do we choose one candidate?
