I have made my choice to vote for McCain. It was refreshingly challenging to actually think about the consequences of my vote. I weighed voting, not voting and getting others to vote McCain while I held my vote in protest.
I agree with McCain on a slew of issues. There are other things I disagree with him on. Immigration and campaign financing to name a couple. But on the war, yes. Taxes, Yes. Abortion, Yes. Traditional Marriage, Yes. His choice for VP, Yes.
The issues on Obama however, I cannot think of any issue I agree with. The War, No. Abortion, No. Affirmative Action, No. Reparations, No (He said he does not believe in Reparations, which is true, but only because his extremely leftist mind thinks reparations are TOO LITTLE), Immigration, No. Foreign Policy, No. Health care, No. In fact, give me an issue he stands by and you will hear nothing by, "NO" from me.
But don't think I will let old Johnny off the hook. His pick of Sarah Palin did not please me because she is conservative. It pleased me because it showed his ability to listen to his base. I am not saying to be controlled by his base, but that he has the ability to listen to the people. We conservatives also took stances against the current President, GWB, on issues like port security, immigration (in which he was agreement with John McCain, and Ted Kennedy **shudder**), and Harriet Miers.
If McCain tries to give the Illegals amnesty, we will be there to knock him down (along with the democrats who will try to knock anything he does down because they are petty weak creatures).
I will be voting for Senator McCain, and I have even volunteered my time for his campaign. But don't think I won't call him on anything remotely liberal that he tries.

And THIS is what they are offended by?
I have the good fortune, and sometimes pain, of living in San Francisco. I love this city for its culture, prosperity and beauty. But nevertheless, this city is as liberal as they come.
I often sit quietly at my desk as I hear my coworkers talking politics. I know what city I am in, and I am fiercely conservative. So I keep myself out of their heated and sometimes hateful conversations. But being behind enemy lines, so to speak, has given me an interesting view of the left.
For example. Remember when the Iranian president visited a few weeks ago? Well, it may surprise you to know how much they hated him. But then I realized why, and it nearly made me sick.
It was not that he supports terrorism, oppression of free speech, the holocaust, the destruction of the state of Israel, a nuclear armed Iran, sending militants supplies to fight and kill our soldiers, send in special operations troops to kill our men and women in uniform who are working with the Iraqi people to establish a democratic nation. (Heck, this list could go on forever)
No, what ticks them off is that he is against gay. That's right. Oh, and womens rights. Does this make ANY sense to you?! I mean sure, oppression of people due to sex or orientation is bad. (I may not agree with homosexuality, but a person has a right to a personal life. They may have to answer to God later, but that is their choice)
But it baffles me how people can be so stupid.
Well, thats my rant for now
