We live in a democratic country. We each have one vote. We vote for someone whom we want to represent our convictions and beliefs. So, if we vote for someone who believes it is ok to kill babies, then we are essentially complicit in the killing of innocent children. His radical views on when life begins and his priority of protecting abortion rights over the right to life for the unborn are beyond most of even the most extreme leftists. Supreme Court and Federal Court judge selection seems inevitable with this presidency and the President gets to make that choice.
That is the cold, stark reality. So, that is why I am not voting for Barak Obama.
It is as simple as that.
Don’t get me wrong. I have no problem if people look into the issues, look into the facts and find that Obama is the candidate to hang their hat upon. My biggest problem is the large number of people who have not looked into those issues but have just joined the litany of voices.

It is easy to get seduced into Obama’s rally cry of change, but the electorate needs to look at the facts and then make a decision. They shouldn’t just support Obama because it’s cool or they get a free T-shirt. Politics needs to extend beyond that.
If you don’t like Obama it’s usually because you are racist, intolerant and uneducated. I’d like to think that’s not me, but that is how I am made to feel much of the time.
According to The Washington Post, Barack Obama has missed 294 votes in Senate. That is 45.8 percent of all the votes while he has been in Senate.

This is our potential president, a man who has avoided making decisions his entire political career.
I’m not sure about the rest of the electorate, but I have higher standards for the most powerful person in the United States. Yes, McCain has missed a large number of votes this cycle, but he has 20 years of voting records behind him.
Obama was in senate for (CATCH THIS NOW) 143 DAYS before he began his campaign.
So what, pray tell, is Obama qualified for? He is charismatic. I’ll give him that. But the President is not a talking head; he is a decision-maker. Where does Obama stand? He campaigns on change, that’s all good and well, but when has he shown that?
The sad thing about voter anger is that it’s misdirected. While there is plenty of blame and fault to go around for both parties, there really is hard evidence that John McCain tried in vain to get attention focused on the totally absurd lending practices of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac that are at the heart of the meltdown.
Did you know Barack Obama is the second highest recipient of political cash from the big bosses of these entities, and his chief economic advisor Franklin Raines took over $90 million in bonuses from Fannie Mae. That’s right---$90 MILLION.
Do you really think that Barack Obama will lead "reform" of a system that he has helped grease?
His work with ACORN, a radical political organization is especially noteworthy in light of the fact that ACORN received over $760 million in "fees" from banks to help push people into "N.I.N.J.A. loans." (These are loans made to people with No Income; No Job; and No Assets, thus NINJA loans.)

Imagine Obama as President and Democrats holding majorities in the House and with a possible 60 vote margin Senate.
-Goodbye, 2nd amendment rights.
-Goodbye, protection for the unborn.
-Goodbye, tax breaks.
-Goodbye, diligence against state sponsored terrorism from rogue governments like Iran, North Korea, and others.
-Goodbye, protection for the unborn.
-Goodbye, tax breaks.
-Goodbye, diligence against state sponsored terrorism from rogue governments like Iran, North Korea, and others.
-Goodbye, parental rights as a fundamental right to not be supplanted by the government.
-Goodbye, holding traditional marriage as one man, one woman for life. I’m not ready to accept that.
While I agree that both tickets have their strengths and weaknesses, after looking into the politics and actions of both groups, I have to back McCain/Palin over Obama/Biden.
We need to remember that opposing views strengthen our democracy and intolerance only weakens it. I am still trying to keep an open mind to all sides as we have only one month to go. I hope everyone else will too, because that is what we owe our country.
If we want real change it will only come from getting on our knees and crying out to the King of Kings for mercy and intervention upon this nation.
