Al C.risafulliJeff, all I can do is vote for a candidate based on what they say they're going to do, or not do.
Lots of people who I know that voted against Obama did so because they believe he's going to do something different from what he says he's going to do. I suppose that's a reason why not to vote for someone.
But to paraphrase the words of a great man, I prefer not to look for a conspiracy in every shadow. Instead, I look at a politician's platform, do my best to take it at face value, and cast my vote.
So, yes, I do believe what I wrote. And if he changes his position, as most presidents eventually do on one thing or another, I'll evaluate his reasons for doing it, and decide whether or not I'm pissed enough to vote the other way when the time comes.
