Why I'm Voting For John McCain

First of all, I want to start off this post with the top three reasons why I'm not voting for Obama (the deal breakers) and then I'll explain why I'm voting for John McCain.

Obama deal breaker number one: his support for partial-birth abortion.

Obama's support of partial birth abortion and killing the babies who survive botched abortions. When Obama was a state senator in Illinois, the state tried to ban this hideous procedure, but guess who vocally opposed the ban? Yes, it was Barack Obama.
What made me so upset about this issue was reading the descriptions (which are very graphic) of the abortions in the supreme court case DON STENBERG, ATTORNEY GENERAL OF NEBRASKA, et al., PETITIONERS v.LEROY CARHART. The descriptions are enough to make you sick. These procedures are sick, twisted and evil. There is nothing "hopeful" about infanticide - and there certainly is nothing "hopeful" about a candidate who supports and works to protect this wicked practice. This is deal breaker number one! How can liberals even think to explain their support for something like this?!! It is absolutely evil.

Obama deal breaker number two: his friends.

I don't care what every hollywood liberal and CNN pundit says, the old adage remains true: you can tell a lot about a man by who his friends are. Obama was close associates with terrorist Bill Ayers; radical, anti-American preacher Jeremiah Wright; criminal Tony Rezko, he was a member of the Illinois socialist party (do we remember socialism, that pernicious precursor to communism?); he praised highly the corrupt former Detriot mayor Kilwame Kilpatrick who now is spending time in jail, and the list goes on and on. Am I wierd because I question Obama's judgment because he associated with these wackos? I must be wierd, because half the country seems to look the other way when this stuff stares them in the face.

Obama deal breaker number three: his total lack of experience.

He has NO EXPERIENCE doing anything significant in his life. Yeah he went to Harvard, and I give him credit for it, but what has he done with his Harvard education? Became a community organizer? Sounds like a great way to describe "self-employed." But wait, he did become a state senator! Big deal, seems like every other person I meet has an uncle, brother, sister or aunt who's been a state senator. But wait, he was a U.S. senator! Great, finally something significant. So what did he do as a U.S. senator? Hmmm.... Still waiting to hear about that one. Evidently all he did was vote in the most liberal, partisan manner in the entire senate.

These are just the top three. I could go on and on (gun control, gay rights, socialist economic policy, tax hikes, socialized medicine, weak foreign policy, vote down military funding which Joe Biden himself said would only lead to more American deaths, etc. etc.) but I want to get to why I'm voting for John McCain.

Why I'm voting for John McCain reason one: he supports traditional family values.

John McCain supports traditional family values. Take a look at this video:


Contrast that with Obama's answer of "Well, uh, whether you're talking about it from a theological or a biological perspective (or whatever he said, I don't remember the exact quote but this is what he said in substance)...uh, that's above my pay grade." Above his pay grade, give me a break! What a bunch of garbage!

Why I'm voting for John McCain reason number two: his deep foreign policy experience.

John McCain understands foreign policy better than anyone. He is an American hero with his experience in Vietnam and he knows what it's like to be soldier. He knows what it means to be "commander in chief." I want a commander in chief! Not a "community organizer" in chief!

Why I'm voting for John McCain reason number three: his track record of change.

He has a solid track record of change, instead of just yammering about it all the time. He's already crossed party lines, he's already passed tough, bi-partisan legislation, he's already made a stand against earmarks, he's already accomplished the things Obama claims he "can" accomplish. I don't know about you, but I view walking higher than talking. But then again, I'm weird that way. Evidently nearly half the country views talk more than walk. To me, Obama needs a lot less talking and a lot more walking.

I could go on and on (tax policy, energy exploration and reform, health care reform, etc.) about why I'm voting for John McCain, but these are the top three.

This coming election, I hope we all decide what our own deal breakers are. Some things are just too important to sweep under the rug.
