Comments on: Why Women Need To Be OK With Kaine As The Country’s Next VP http://queenofspainblog.com/2008/08/19/why-women-need-to-be-ok-with-kaine-as-the-countrys-next-vp/ Thu, 09 Feb 2012 15:02:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: PunditMom http://queenofspainblog.com/2008/08/19/why-women-need-to-be-ok-with-kaine-as-the-countrys-next-vp/comment-page-1/#comment-62679 PunditMom Fri, 05 Sep 2008 03:52:42 +0000 http://queenofspainblog.com/?p=959#comment-62679 My diviseness? I don't think so. He's the one who wants to be president, so he has to convince us, not the other way around. I'm just tired of candidates -- all candidates -- over the last 30 years talking at us instead of to us. Obama says he wants to be that person, but since so many people have reservations, he's clearly not making that connection in the way he thinks he is. Remain in the corner? Please. I think we can have a better discussion than that. My diviseness? I don’t think so. He’s the one who wants to be president, so he has to convince us, not the other way around.

I want unity in this country too. I give Senator Obama credit, he is "saying" many good things. I want to believe he means what he says, but here is my problem, his overall voting record doesn't match up to what he is saying now. Did he vote the way he did because that is what he really believed in or did he vote that way so he could get to where he is now in order to make a "change?" Ultimately, I cannot vote for him because of his voting record on abortion. I'm not anti-choice, but I am a proponent of rights for the unborn. If we are going to "care for the least of these," then we have to include those that have no rights at all. You are right, abortion is an issue that completely and painfully splits our country in two. There is a lot of negativity and hate spewed on both sides and it makes me really sad.
