I finally made up my mind on who I to vote for: John McCain.  Actually, my vote isn’t for John McCain as much as it is AGAINST Barack Obama.  Here are a few reasons I don’t like Obama:

1. He has numerous associations with shady people/organizations: Louis Farrakkan, Jeremiah Wright, William Ayers, ACORN, Tony Rezko, and more.  Come on now, if your own pastor isn’t with you, why should I be?
2. He is a socialist.  I took real issue with him when he told the plumber that we need to “spread the wealth”.  With governments around the world buying significant stakes in the banking system, this just seems a little too scary for me.
3. I’m not wealthy by anyones standards, but I don’t like the fact that he wants to tax the wealthy disproportionately.  Bill Gates and Warren Buffett shouldn’t be penalized for success.
4. In the final debate, Barack kept trying to take the “high road” and back out of an argument by simply declaring that they weren’t going to agree.  That might be fine in any other setting, but this was a debate.  This was the time and place to duke it out.  We don’t need that elitist attitude.
5. He has a funny name.  We need to get these folks with funny names out of America.  Let’s take back the Dairy Queens and Subways, the taxi companies, and the Holiday Inns from these people with funny names.  We need to return these American insitutions to Americans.

   (That last one was a joke by the way.  I’m not racist and I have lots of friends with funny names.)

For the record, I’m not happy with John McCain either, but I do believe that he is the lesser of the two evils.
