Get Out the Vote

2008 October 29

by Tyler

I found out yesterday that I was an “inactive” voter because I had moved in the past two years…lame. Luckily I still get to vote, just have to fill out some paper work and go on a nice long bike ride sometime this week to get my ballot.

I’m assuming everyone has decided by now…hopefully you aren’t planning on playing russian roulette with your ballot. So I think it is time for a good ol’ man of depravity share time.

I want to know who you are voting for and why. I’ve tried to keep comments to this point as civil as possible and I want to encourage the same, but also encourage you to share whatever reasons you have for voting for/against either candidate. All I ask is that you avoid tearing each other a part in the comments.

(I cannot see who votes for who in the poll…just the numbered results.)

So take the poll and share your thoughts.

I have a post coming this weekend detailing my support for my candidate. You probably won’t be surprised. Thanks for the poll.

I’m voting for Obama because he’s not a friend to corporate America like McCain. I wish I was kidding. That’s about as far as my argument goes.

I’m going for McCain because I think Obama’s tax policies will make our economic situation much, much worse (although I still expect the media will blame Bush).

I also think Obama’s statement about needing Supreme Court Justices with “empathy” is just completely wrong-headed. How about somebody who’ll actually do his job and make decisions based on the merits of the case? And who won’t legislate from the bench?

Strangely, abortion doesn’t really even bear on my decision, since I think neither guy will make much actual progress on that front.

McCain already has my vote

Not because I like him…you know how perplexed I was when he became our nominee. I have always said that I vote not for a candidate but for principles and positions that I believe in. Whomever is closest to those is who gets my vote. Obama couldnt be further away from them…and McCain seems to be the closest who is “electable.”

Big Mac.

Reasons: Experience. His desire for smaller and less intrusive government. Proven leadership.

1. Experience. The enemy is still at the gate.

2. Taxes. Keep’em low.. for everyone.

3. Spending. We’re broke.

4. Military. I expect to see deep cuts if Obama wins. The enemy is still at the gate.

5. Abortion. ’nuff said.

6. Character. You are who you associate with.

7. Working accross the aisle. Obama will be beholden to the extremist on the Left.

8. Devotion to country.

9. The border. Lock it down.

10. Judges. The stench from the bench is making me clench.

McCain. Not perfect. However, he has a proven record of showing he can get something done … even if it angers his base. Proven record of reaching across the aisle. All the stuff Kirk said. And if you’re wrong on abortion, none of the rest matters.
