I have seen/heard the following reasons to vote for McCain/Palin
Lets look at these.
- They are Pro-Life - "A culture of life"
- McCain has a better economic plan
- McCain has a strong anti-terror stance
- Palin is a woman
- "You didn't lose anyone in the 9/11 attacks"
- "Your SO/Girlfriend/wife/daughter isn't wearing a burqa"
Lets look at these.
- Same phrase Bush used. And Bush, as Gov of TX, executed a large number of convicted felons. Bush and McCain are pro-war, pro-invasion, and pro-staying in Iraq. So, that really translates to anti-abortion. Plus, neither of them did a damn thing about it when they held power in the White House, Legislature, and Supreme Court.
- As far as I have seen, McCain's plan is more of the same "Voodoo" economics that we have suffered under for the past 8 years. Tax cuts for the big business and the rich, and somehow even though it has not helped yet, it will very soon. I don't think so. It did not work in 8 years under Reagan, it has not worked in 8 years under Bush. I guess we just have not given it enough time to work.
- Anti-terror. I think about 99.999999% of the world population is anti-terror. McCain is Pro-war, and following the Bush Doctrine. We attack first. Works great in a video game, not so good in the real world with real consequences.
- Palin is a woman. So is Hilary. I did not vote for either. And I don't care if she is a woman. It is her politics that matter.
- What does that have to do with my vote? Is this more of the "you just don't understand?" Or is it the feeling that if someone I knew had died then that I would be more in favor of vengeance and war?
- What. The. Fuck?! What does that even mean? They don't wear magic underpants either. Should I be afraid of the Mormons?
