who will you vote for?

[hsmommyofmany]

i am new here and i saw all of the political threads...i am sure somone has already done this...just for my own intrest i was wondering who everyone was going to vote for in the election and why.

although i am highly distressed at the direction our country is taking i am going to vote for mccain...mostly because he is pro life and wants to win the war on terror and there is NO WAY i could ever vote for obama whom i feel is a socialist. how about yall?

I am going to be one of the people to throw off this Poll.

I am going to vote for Obama. But when I get into the privacy of the voting booth, McCain/Palin!!! it is my way of Sticking it to the LameStream media and the Obamabots.

I can not in good conscience vote for either Obama or McCain. I don't believe McCain is as pro-life as he wants everyone to think he is. In another thread I showed some quotes from McCain's own lips where he said some contradictory things. He says he's pro-life but he has also said that he will not take any steps to overturn Roe v. Wade as President. He says he's for a federal amendment to the constitution but he has also said that he wants to leave the gay marriage issue up to the states to decide and that he would not have a problem with a homosexual president. I find such contradictory statements quite troublesome for someone who wants to lead this country for the next four years. Unless I'm blown away by the Bob Barr videos I have yet to watch, I think I'm going to end up taking William Bennett's advice to not vote at all and in four years vote for the next Ronald Reagan. The only problem I have with this is that since the Republican party has not been able to produce a successor to Reagan in twenty years, I'm not confident that they're gonna produce one in the next four years either.

Zec, Sarah's pretty hardcore like Reagan, she disagrees with McCain totally on abortion and gay marriage. That is one of the reasons I can cast for McCain.

 

[Zecryphon]

That may be, but Sarah Palin is not going to be running the country unless, God forbid, John McCain should get called home by God while in office. McCain is too eager in my opinion to cross party lines, and with the House and Senate under Democratic rule, I shudder to think what he's going to do. I don't wish to debate my decision and I really hope that no one lays that guilt trip of: 'A vote not cast is a vote for Obama' on me just to get me to vote for McCain. In closing I quote Martin Luther: 'To go against conscience is neither safe nor right. Here I stand. God help me. Amen.'

 

[GQ Chris]

Zec, I can respect your decision man. It's pretty good based on everything you said here, and definitely the same concerns I have nonetheless.

You know Z, the next president will probably be appointing 4 maybe 5 supreme court justices. Who do you think will be most likely to appoint conservative judges? Just a thought.

Duplicate of an earlier post. The original was good, but not as good to warrant a second viewing. LOL

It ain't gonna be McCain. The one thing that gets brought up by people voting McCain is 'he's pro-life.' I don't think he is. If he were, he'd do everything in his power to reduce the number of abortions, which at the beginning of this election was the mantra of all the candidates. He's already said he will not take steps to overturn or repeal Roe v. Wade. He's also said that he has no litmus test for a supreme court nominee. It's whoever he feels is best qualified. That doesn't fill me with confidence that the people he nominates to the bench will all be conservatives. He very easily could nominate a liberal just because he feels they are more qualified.

 

[drstevej]

Already voted for McCain.

 

[spinningtutu]

UGH. i'd rather not admit it...

 

[Apollo Celestio]

I have no idea, but likely not the main candidates.

I can say only one thing, if you fail to vote you will be doing exactly what Obama wants and it will better his chances of getting elected.

Its very seldom that we get a canidate that meets all of our crieteria, we have to make the best choice of what there is or risk helping those who we really don't want.

Already voted for McCain.

How many times?


I voted for Obama. I'm also thinking about voting for Barr.

 

[drstevej]

How many times?

How many members on the Dallas Cowboys team?

 

[BereanTodd]

I hate both candidates, and both parties. None have the best interests of either Christians or America in mind as far as I'm concerned. However, based on two issues primarily - abortion and Israel - I will be voting republican.

 

[WalksWithChrist]

How many members on the Dallas Cowboys team?

Including the cheerleaders?

 

[drstevej]

Including the cheerleaders?

Not sure, let me check with ACORN.

 

[spinningtutu]

yea, abortion is the main deciding factor for me (as usual). for the record, i think both parties are sick and disgusting and don't represent me. the way i see it?

no, the republicans probably aren't going to do anything about abortion and it will probably stay the way it is. the prolife rhetoric is probably just a means to an ends (to get votes) so they can do their own stupid stuff... but

then you have the democrats who won't just be pro-choice in leaving abortion as is... they want to pass the Freedom of Choice Act to repeal what little good the bush administration did do regarding abortion (ie, they want more partial birth abortions and they want born alive infants to starve).

clinton helped write it and obama promises to sign it. so a vote for obama is a vote for FOCA...

now i'm going to risk bending the FSGs here by saying this, but i'm actually really really liberal in most areas. nevertheless, FOCA gives me dry vomit.
