You did not comment on my post re: reasons to vote for McCain. Why not?
Because others already had.
1. McCain will defend our country while Obama, in his book "Audacity of Hope" stated that he would side with the enemy if things got ugly: "If the political winds blow in an ugly direction I will stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the Muslims".
2. McCain has an udeniable record of being willing and able to work with both parties, more so than most conservatives (including me) care for. Obama is 100% partisan.
3. McCain has a good track record of being able to make tough decisions while Obama couldn't figure out whether to vote yes or no on local issues over 130 times and instead voted "present".
4. McCain wants to give tax breaks to everyone including the small businesses that our economy is built on and has a consistent track record of doing exactly that other than his opposition to some of the Bush cuts. Obama, while talking now about tax cuts, has an absolutely unbroken record of voting for across-the-board tax increases, never voting for a tax break even once in nearly 100 tax votes.
5. With McCain, whether you like him or not, you know exactly what you are getting because he tells the truth no matter who it pisses off. Obama on the other hand, couldn't even tell us the truth about his family and background. If he ever got caught telling the truth he would probably try to lie his way out of it.
6. McCain saw the Fannie Mae / Freddie Mac disaster coming and tried to do something about it three years ago. The democrats stopped every attempt that he and others, including Bush, made.
7. McCain has a ton of foreign affairs experience and knowledge and is respected all over the world. Not only does Obama have no experience, he doesn't even have the most basic grasp of the subject. He stated that "Iran, North Korea, and Venezuela are small countries. They pose no threat to us". In his very next speech he was talking about them as a "grave threat" to be taken very seriously after some advisors informed him how naive and inept his comment was.
8. McCain has never said anything betraying even the smallest bias or prejudice. Obama on the other hand has said that "white man's greed runs a world in need", that "...it's not surprising then that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations," basically accusing all traditional americans of being backwards, bitter racists who blame any troubles they have on others, while he was talking about people in Pennsylvania to people in San Francisco.
9) Both parties are talking about "change" and being non-partisan as so many politicians do. The only difference is that unlike Obama, McCain can talk not only about what he will do along those lines, but what he
has done.
10. McCain supports doing what we can to bring down the cost of fuel and energy in the short and long term including drilling. Obama vehemently opposed drilling until very recently after finding out that over 80% of the country supports drilling now. To be honest, I can't think of one position Obama has not done an about-face on except for murdering babies, even if they are "accidently" born healthy. He is consistent on that one.
I could go on for quite some time but it is getting late.
