Utahns 'Unite for Change'

So did Obama violate Utah's election law by trying to entice Hillary out of the Presidential race? Sounds like a case of bribery to me.

Obama is nothing than a fraud and liar. Please realize this before it is to late. McCain is not much better than Obama but I feel he is at least trustworthy and is experienced in life where Obama is not. So before you go into that voting booth please make sure you are willing to accept whatever happens if Obama gets elected. Mitt Romney in 2012

hey Nan, keep voting for republicans and see where it takes us.
how bad do things need to get before you wake up and make a change.
Obama can change things and you're afraid of it. i wish we could send Bush down the road tomorrow. Obama take over and let's get going!

Nan, do you think Mitt Romney isn't a liar and a fraud? He's the worst of the bunch. Don't let his religion fool your judgement of who should be giving the government leadership. None of the front running candidates offer leadership, only CEO and illegal alien representation. We need american representation and leadership that Ron Paul is offering but being black balled by the new media because he won't conform to the whims of corporate america and its CEO's. We need a leader wanting to change america for america and not the world governments and illegal foreign nationals forcing their way across our borders. America needs a major upset of 'how things are done' in government to make america strong and united again. We have enough corporate representation in government, now we need people and country representation with Ron Paul. Obama, McCain, and Romney are not interested in saving the american people or our economic status with a strong government leader, they want to keep corporate america in charge of government. These youthful hopefuls should start doing some research and reading to realize the power they have in the destiny of this country. Forget new media hype and fraudlent speeches.

The only "change" being proposed by Obama and his followers is a change back to the already tried-and-failed polices of the 60's and earlier.

Programs of group (race, sex, etc.) preferences that institutionalize bigotry rather than reduce it. Socialistic redistributions that reduce productivity and general welfare rather than increase it. Restrict rather than promote freedoms of thought and speech beneath a camoflauge of group-think self-righteous indignation.

The problems we are facing will ALL be made worse by electing someone who believes in the policies and Supreme Court nominees that Obama's voting record (forget what he is saying) indicates he will promote.

"unite for change' a simple slogan for the simple minded,

To Tim Whatley and other naive democrat voters. You want change? If Obama gets into power (and he won't once most Americans realise he has nothing tangible to offer America except words and charm)then any change will DEFINITELY BE FOR THE WORST. The USA is a great country that has the courage to stand against tyrants around the world. Obama will appease these tyrants and lower what little standards he has. What power and influence America has will quickly dissipate under Obama because he is a weak leader with a pathetic past. Democrats generally have no interset in America and it's hard working citizens. DON'T GIVE OBAMA AN INCH or he'll take a mile and abuse it!!!

Didn't Lenin promise the Russians "change." They sure got change, didn't they, about a century's worth. We need less government and individual citizens to be more responsible, that's the "change" we need. Yes, we can, as Comrade Obama states, but I don't need some government official poking his nose in my business more often than not. America, if you put this guy in office, you deserve the consequences, too bad you'll pull the bricks on my head along with you.

Ron Paul all the way, Obama will lead us to poorer days.

America's youth attend public schools where they are taught liberal philosophy - radical environmentalism. They are taught to "get involved" politically. 82% of teachers vote Democratic! Most Utah teachers are Republican, but too many vote for Democrat policies. They should realize how much better their lives would be teaching in private schools, where those that can afford It should be attending their children.

The curriculum teaches that there will be catastrophe if they don�t do something about it and that big government is the solution, and that there are too many people on the earth and that we need to give our money to other countries for "sustainability" because we're all "world citizens" now.

Combine that with the liberal media (e.g. �Wall-e� a very cute kid/adult animation, but sickeningly green), and it's no wonder so many regard Obama as the IT man.

Oil drillers say it would take 6 months to begin drilling domestically again. It will take 10 years because Democrat environmental policies are holding us hostage. Dems want high oil prices (a la Wexxler) so that we will get rid of our oil "addiction" and go back to riding bicycles.

Inquiring Mind,

Federal law applies to presidential races and any state law that contradicts or contravenes federal election law or the Constitution is irrelevant in the presidential race.

Second, Democratic Party operations on the national level is a private affair. The Democratic Party is a private organization and its operations are of no concern to the states and how it chooses a nominee is in accordance with its rules, bylaws and charter and any state that passes a law that contradicts or otherwise contravenes that charter can be penalized by the party as with Florida and Michigan.

Third, Obama isn't a Utah citizen and wasn't in the state of Utah at the time that he asked Clinton to cease her bid for the party nomination. This means Illinois and U.S. law governs and that unless he or Illinois grants Utah subject matter or personal jurisdiction that this state has no jurisidiction in the matter.

Finally, the DNC Headquarters isn't located in the state of Utah and this state has no jurisdiction over the DNC. If the State Party Chair or other officers violated Utah law and party rules they have two choices. Obey party rules or be punished.

Name one accomplishment that Obama has done. You can't do it. China is drilling our oil off the coast of Florida but Obama say's "No" to drilling that same oil. It's our oil but we are letting China drain it all. It was a democrat "Bill Clinton" who had Osama Bin Laden but let him go. It was also a democrat who ignored the genocide in Rwanda. It was a democrat "Jimmy Carter" who let our Americans be held hostage for so long, once the threat of a Republican taking office the Iranians let the people go. Historically, the democrat will mess things up and the republican has to straighten it out therefor the republican looks like the bad guy thanks to the democrat before him. Prove me wrong.

How dare we take seriously our stewardship of this beautiful earth. After all, I am sure there is another one out there somewhere we can use if necessary.

Well Put.

What a load of garbage! Change, Ha Ha! I am so sick of politicians calling for change and then doing nothing. It's just like changing a babies diaper, the new is clean at first but ends up being filled with the same stuff. I don't care what party the current president is a members of or what party the hopeful candidate is a member of it makes no difference. Supporters of Obama will argue that he is nothing like Bush in his views, and that's probably true, but we will just be trading one set of problems for another regardless of who is elected.

Socialism is not the type of change we need in Washington. There is a reason that most of the European countries that attempted Socialism are moving back towards Capitalism.

H. will set America back.

When will people start to realize that the president cannot and will not change anything, unless the masses start to make changes for the better themselves. If our country fails, it will be because the people in it have failed. We need to each make the changes in our hearts and lives that are necessary to improving our neighborhoods, cities, states, country, and ultimately the world. I love the quote by Ghandi where he says, "Be the change you wish to see in the world." We need to start taking responsibility for the problems we face and actively solve them together.

Earth to Springmeyer: You will not beat Huntsman in November. Over and out.

only problem with change is obama has a congress held by his fellow demo's. look at all the changes congress has made higher fuel costs, which has effected everything. my biggest fear is the comments he has about our 401k funds.

Obama and McCain have very different views on important topics: Iraq, energy and health care leap immediately to mind. Why don't we all just vote for the person we agree with on policy, without resorting to labels and name-calling?
