any somalis voting republican? Listen to the guy above

As muslims theres a moral dilema for you guys. Democrats are too liberal regarding social and moral issues. Laakin republicans are too right wing on poltical issues. Which is the lesser of the two evils?

there is no point voting republican unless you make a quarter million in this election, why would i vote for a guy who wants to give BIG tax breaks to the wealthy and minimum break for the struggling Middle class...John McCain even opposed these tax cuts in 01 and then was for them just for this damn campaign...hes flip flopped way more than Obama

sure we agree with the republicans on moral and social issues, but we agree with the democrats on policy

and to be honest, policy...especially domestic is more important...the reason America is the way it is, is because America has not invested in its people these last 8 years

its a no brainer and it doesn't have to be a dilemma...the dems are the lesser of the two evils

muslims are the prototypical moderates...more liberal on policy and conservative in terms of social and moral issues

i dislike homos, abortions and what not but the choice of president has no bearing on that...laws and court decisions are already in place for that...or the culture is more receptive to it because it is gaalo and we can't really control that...

I just voted right now. Sent my absentee ballot for Barack Obama and a bunch of democrats at city and state level positions that I don't pay much attention to. And yeah a bunch of issues concerning casinos, bonds for developement and pay day loans. I had to wait almost 4 hours today wallahi. I feel sorry for those that plan to vote on Election day, they have no idea what is waiting for them. :lol:

I don't believe so. Some companies do allow their employees to take the day off while others do not care so an employee has to request the day off from work or school in order to vote. On the other hand, almost all the states allow voters to send an early ballot for their chosen candidate. By the way a record 20 million people already voted! :)

Too much hype for obama. Either way foreign policy wont change so who gives a fock. But the democrats are too liberal for my liking and mccain is even worst. Isnt there any indy options.

independents dont get clout, libertarians don't either

obama is good for our domestic being, and thats what matters for us living in America

i don't even know how you change foreign policy...we all know the washington elites control that shid...

i met a latino/italian brother who reverted...he is getting his masters in public policy and for research him and his professor went to the state department and many other functions in DC/Virginia...hes telling me we Muslims can change things if we get involved as people are ignorant about the world but not suprisingly there are the blatant islam haters

anyway, im not sure if that'll work anyway, but i guess we have to start somewhere and get our influence across...
