I consider myself a Republican but I have voted for Democrats in the past - namely Al Gore and Bill Clinton (2nd term) in recent elections so you can't say I'm just voting party lines.

So, here are 2 reasons for not supporting Obama:

1. Experience
I can almost care less about Obama being a black man. If Colin Powell would have ever been a candidate, I'd be stomping my feet and honking horns in his support. He has years of experience, education and the respect of the military. To say I don't want a black President just isn't a viable retort to any of my concerns.

Obama is educated but he has no experience under his belt. Congress was in session 146 days from the time Obama was sworn in as a Senator until he formed a Presidential exploratory committee. 8-12 years from now, you bet, it would be impossible to argue the case but for now - it just isn't there and if Obama were white, I don't think he would have won the nomination and that is why I said "I could almost not care". I don't really want affirmative action to play a part for filling this position - I want the best qualified of the choices. It's almost like America is so hopped up to get a black man in office, we'll overlook a lot of things to get one there and take the first marginally qualified one we can find - 'cause up til now, Jesse Jackson has been about all we've had to choose from.

2. Religion (I really don't get this one)
For 20 years, Obama was a member of a church with a pastor that preached hatred. Hatred of whites and hatred of America. This isn't disputable. Copies of his sermons are available (his church sells copies of sermons). Sen. Barack Obama's pastor says blacks should not sing "God Bless America" but "God damn America."

We're told that Obama didn't agree with his preacher but c'mon - you don't go to a church that preaches these types of messages if you don't support the views of the preacher. Is there a shortage of churches I don't know about that prevented Obama from finding a new Church that preached love and hope?

How can anyone just shrug this off and say it's a "Republican smear campaign"?

If if were found out that McCain were to have attended meetings of the KKK for the last 20 years then and say that David Duke "is like an old uncle who says things I don't always agree with" (as Obama said when it was found out) would you simply ignore it? Of course you wouldn't - and I wouldn't expect you to.

I have a real problem with this and I have a real problem with anyone that would turn a blind eye to this for the person holding the most powerful office in the free world. You don't shrug this off. 20 years of support shows a fundamental belief in the messages preached.
