McCain

My Last Presidental Election Related Blog
(feel free to ignore if necessary to retain our friendship =P)

Last night I caught the last hour of the final Presidential Debate. Around 10:15 or so, I was brought to tears. Sobbing, while laying in bed, and for the first time (since this crying isn't the first) truly and utterly fearful for the outcome of this year's election. It's no secret the many reasons I think Barack Hussein Obama is a deceitful, untrustworthy, egotistical, socialist moron. No secret at all. (Although I'm not sure how I am still on many Obama-spam email listservs..ugh...NO MORE!) There have been many times through this campaign he has actually lead me to TEARS due to his insensitivity on one of my most personal, moral issues facing our culture, our nation, and our future president.

That being said, the other side to this story is really not "I'm voting McCain because Obama makes me want to vomit" but, "I'm voting John McCain because I agree with him."

  • I agree that domestic alternative energies must be utilized and that clean coal, nuclear power, and safe off-shore domestic drilling are crucial to our energy independence.
  • I agree that our nation should help to women faced with "unwanted pregnancies", not through abortion options, but my providing birth mothers with an easier, more streamlined adoption process.
  • I agree that charter schools and voucher systems for our public schools will lead to more competition, better teachers, and better educational opportunities for children of this nature.
  • I agree that raising taxes is not the answer, but cutting government spending is the answer.
  • I agree that our government employment is bloated and needs reform.
  • I agree that our solders should not be left wanting, but should be given the tools and resources they need to protect our great nation and the nations that support us.
  • I agree that MORE government regulation is NOT the answer, but capitalism will eventually settle the markets (which were taken advantage of my plain old greed by the way.)
  • I agree that human life begins at conception.
  • I agree that evil is real.

So as much as I cannot stand Barack Obama, I am voting John McCain because it is the logical decision. It's an educated decision. And no, I will probably not be able to understand why you do not agree with me...sorry.
