8. We have heard that we need to elect based on character
and not on the meat of the platform of the candidates.

But the Obama supporters have ignored that. They are impressed by his charisma, his eloquence and, of course, his skin color. The media has given him a pass. No one questions his track record and his ideas. What the swifters did to Kerry will be like a walk in the park if he is the nominee.

Yes, he opposed the war when his opinion did not matter, but once he came to the US Senate, he voted in lock step with Edwards and Clinton and even Lieberman (I've heard).

Snubbing Clinton shows that he is petty and vindictive. Strange, coming from a person who promotes diplomacy.
