    so, I would like for some of you to list the POSITIVE (meaning not reasons against the nother guy) reasons you are voting for whomever you're voting.

    McCain
    Strong on defense, will keep America safe in this time of war on terror
    Can work with both sides of the aisle and get legislation passed through
    Fiscally sound policies, keeping capitalism intact
    Knows what sacrifice is all about

    A way to insure that the system of checks and balances set up by our Constitution isn't forfeited because the liberals run the trifecta.

    McCain = eternal warfare and fossil fuels
    Obama = investment in energy independence

    If your main concern is ending abortions, vote McCain. If you're worried about almost anything else then Obama is your man.

    Mild Temperment
    Steady Leadership
    Will and Has worked with Republicans
    Champion of the Middle class
    Statesmen
    Diplomatic

    Strong on the Economy
    Foresight
    Will Cut Taxes

    Those are some of my reasons, no slights to McCain here.

    I voted Obama because...
    • He will project an image to the rest of the world that will be respected and that will alleviate tension.
    • He handles tough issues calmly and won't rush to a hasty decision.
    • He will handle foreign conflict well.
    • He will work to make domestic government less divisive.
    • He was against going into Iraq from the outset and will make getting bin Laden a priority.
    • I believe his concern for the middle class is real and that he will make every effort to raise the standard of living for the middle class.
    • He will tell the American people the hard truth rather than try to spin every situation to sound positive; the shroud Bush works behind will be removed from the executive branch.
    • Despite the many things I disagree with Obama on, of the two candidates I believe he is most right on foreign policy, most dedicated to making government work for the middle class, and most likely to represent the US well.

    Ron Paul = Becuase I have integrity and moral values that must be upheld.


    Voting for McCain or Obama = you don't care where our country is heading. IMO
