McCain, as a lesser of evils. There are principally three reasons I cannot and will not vote for Obama:
1. The behavior of the media and "activists" this cycle. It has bordered on the ridiculous in terms of how inscrutable they've made Obama. They're unabashedly for Obama, HRC be damned. In there quest to anoint Obama they've been abusive to non-Obama supporters, there's simply no debate but just name-calling and blind obsession.
2. Obama hasn't been as forthright as his campaign theme of "Change" and "Out with Politics of Division." What I see is just another politician using words to cast a shield around himself and campaign which has used the very tactics that he calls out against.
3. Although I wasn't sure up until Wednesday's debate, his answers on the issue of taxes confirmed for me the fact that he is running a campaign of pitting classes of people against each other. When asked why about capital gains and the SSI cap, his only answer was based on punishing moderate to high income earners (covered in language of "fairness") Messages of wealth redistribution thinly veiled as "fairness" don't sit well with me, and I refuse to be labeled as unfair because I earn slightly more than 100K when the fact is I already get taxed close to 40%. I just don't like being used as a pawn for figurative class warfare for politic expediency.
HRC at least, promised not tax hike for those below the 250K bracket.
Sweet. End of Roe and more war!
Roe will never be reversed and these kind of misconceptions that gets folks worked up over such fears.
Abortion rights have been ingrained into society and are more or less mainstream. Whatever the makeup of the supreme court, they'd never dare reverse Roe.
As for the war, good Lord, I'd do anything to turn back the clock! What a disaster.
But do you honestly think Obama is going to withdraw troops immediately? I seem to remember reading about a 16-month plan? I don't know
Right. Roe will never be reversed. It'll just be gutted. Actually, Roe can easily be reversed and there are good legal, though not policy, reasons for it if you're a "conservative" justice.
I don't think Obama will be invading or attacking Iraq. I imagine the facts on the ground will dictate how quickly he pulls out.
