Why I'm Voting For John McCain

After some "conversations" with friends, I felt it necessary to give a brief summary of why Don Carr, private citizen, is voting for John McCain and Sarah Palin. No, I won’t be going through each policy one at a time, I suggest to research and find out the truth yourself.

My fear while listening to Senator McCain last night was that many would simply listen to the first 15 minutes of McCain’s speech and then tune out. I have to say, McCain is no orator and it took a bit to get started, but if you listened to the whole speech, your heard why we support McCain for President. Senator McCain took about 15 minutes thanking everyone and sloganeering but then took the next 34 minutes to spell out exactly what the difference is between he and Obama. I have to admit, I sat there thinking, “say something John”. He finally did and when he did, he hit it out of the park and I don’t know if you stayed to see it or not, but this man who admits that he would rather be in a town hall meeting, received 27 standing ovations and had the crowd on their feet cheering and shouting as he spoke the last several sentences of his speech. Everyone in the nation needs to find the Saddleback forum he did where Pastor Rick Warren asked both candidates separately about how they would run the country. Obama skirted most issues and McCain knocked it out of the park. Find it online if you have not seen it. It’s worth your time if you seriously want to know the facts and not just the rhetoric.

I don't need an entertainer for President. I need someone who will actually work for me and the rest of us in the U.S. and not promise socialism at best and communism at worst with rhetoric right out of Lennon's and Marx's manifestos. If you listened to Obama, he proved to be someone who knows how to manipulate the crowd, but has no command of the issues or he's a more skilled liar than most that have come before him. I would think that all small business owners would be very worried about the tax hikes on those who earn $250,000 or more and tax hikes on businesses and health care demands which will place the burden directly on the small business owner which, by the way makes up 90% of Gross Domestic Product. The employee looks at that and says, “yeah, stick it to the man” not knowing that “the man” they are wanting it stuck to is likely the man who provides his job. Businesses only have a certain amount of money to operate on. When the federal government takes away operating capital to finance their socialistic policies, how will that business find that money? They will have to fire employees (because they have no money to pay them) and raise prices (because they still have to pay for the ones they don’t fire). This will cause incredible inflation and unemployment like we have never seen since Jimmy Carter. By the way unemployment has finally grown back to what it was at the best stage of the Clinton Presidency and they taut him as some savior. We have been at what has traditionally been called full employment (5% or better) for the past 6 years until just now and the dems lie to you and say we are now facing record unemployment. Don’t listen to the lie, look at the facts. I know that, after looking at his policies in detail, Obama will (not might, will) drive our private school if not our entire church out of business. You may want to listen to more than the delivery of the speech and see what the man will do to YOU and to me.

Yes, Obama is very capable of giving a speech. Through this campaign and basically throughout his entire career all Obama has proven is that he is a self absorbed, narcissistic individual who knows how to give a speech, vote present and write books about himself. He has no record whatsoever of leading anything. The policies of Obama will destroy the very fabric of our nation and any sense of free enterprise (capitalism) will be gone. John McCain has a proven record of fighting for the people. It’s his policies I’m interested in, not his delivery. I watched his speech with a full theater of those “out of touch” Republicans last night. None of us found his speech boring. It informed and he didn’t need a stadium and a movie set to further boost his ego either. He stood there as a guy who has sacrificed for his country repeatedly and intends to continue to sacrifice for us for as long as it takes with policies like low taxes for everyone, school choice, life for the unborn, judges that won’t legislate from the bench, a strong national defense, protecting us from attacks from terrorists, improved foreign relations, lower fuel prices using all means necessary, getting rid of dependence on foreign oil, less federal spending, getting rid of earmark spending, getting rid of corruption in Washington and has a proven record of doing exactly what he promises. For anyone who thinks McCain is just another George Bush, either purposely does not listen, or has not done the due diligence to get past the rhetoric and actually look at the two men. I suggest everyone do so before they vote. They will find that at this moment in history, we need John McCain and Sarah Palin.

I know that some of you don’t agree with me politically and I love you anyway, but I also believe that intelligent individuals can’t actually be sucked in by all of the pomp and circumstance. Hitler was a great orator as well. Vladimir Lennon and Karl Marx had quite compelling arguments that seemed to represent the common man. These men who had great rhetoric destroyed their citizens and made the world a terrible place all the while they espoused good will towards those same citizens. This is almost the exact same rhetoric Barack Obama is using. I for one am not buying it. I’m voting McCain.

What kind of character does Obama have? Follow this link. It's disturbing, but shows you the heart of the man.
