An 18 year old friend of mine, from a Repub family, announced his support for Obama to me today. |
|
This is the second buddy of mine to do this, from very similar circumstances, both are from very religious families, both are from families have either been lifelong Republicans, or nearly so, and both want Obama to win in November.
This is the first time either of them will vote in a presidential election, so i thought id share the good news. :)

2. I think many true "values voters" sense that Obama lives his faith ... walks the walk. |
|
Welcome aboard to "the big tent." :hi:

10. One of my Republican colleagues just told me he's going Obama |
|
because McCain isn't as moderate as he thought. He just found out yesterday that McCain wants to overturn Roe VS Wade so now he's firmly behind Obama.
:shrug:
I THOUGHT EVERYONE KNEW THAT ABOUT MCCAIN? :banghead:
