Justify it, people. Not looking to talk trash here, just speak your mind.

Well done, jammer.

Because the status quo on agricultural policy is disastrous for the third world?

You know me, I don't care about "brown people."

Its okay, as a liberal, you can't help it.

The whole "Country First" business, that seems to preclude foreign intervention in issues that aren't a major threat to our foreign interests, doesn't it?

I doubt McCain would offer much reform in that area, I know it's his platform to end subsidies and I agree with it (one of the few areas I agree with McCain); I just have a hard time seeing that happen with predicted major Democratic victories in the Congress.

And I'm sure there'll be more important things to accomplish with another right-wing executive branch, like helping to overturn Roe v. Wade and setting up new laws to prosecute all those terrified and pregnant 16 year-olds that ignore the ban.

I don't know how consistent Bush has been in his opposition to subsidies, but he clearly hasn't gotten very far with the legislature in this regard. So the Democrats can get a veto proof majority on an agricultural bill but cave in to war funding and domestic survelliance? Seems like no one has their priorities in line.

Republican White House, Democratic Congress? Surely there'll be no deadlock.

I'd rather have deadlock than such bipartisan masterpieces as NCLB.

"Predicted Democratic victories in the Congress" is why I might vote for McCain. Nothing better than having a different party run the Executive and Legislative branches.

But both of you voted Republican across the board in '00 and '04? City council positions don't count.

I wasn't old enough to vote in either of those elections.

I'm honestly not seeing very good justifications.

You're not excited for me to get my presidential election cherry popped?

Not at all. I'm positively terrified. It would be different if you were an unabashed right-winger but their positions aren't exactly aligned with yours in many ways at all.

If it's a matter of "individual liberty" though, I guess Obama is really looking to ruin it by increasing the capital gains tax, right?

Look who you're polling.

Some reasons may be;
1. You like McCain's foreign policy more. You may feel that McCain offers a more known commodity regarding foreign affairs than Obama. You may not always like what you get but have a good sense of what you are going to get. You don't like the wildcard that Obama offers.
2. You want to keep the tax cuts.
3. You like McCain's agriculture policies more. You'd like to see and end to subsidies and will settle for a lessening to subsidies.
4. You don't like Obama's protectionist trade stance regarding NAFTA. You don't like what this foreshadows for trade policies in general.
5. You are more confident that McCain's loose gun approach will be more effective in bringing change to Washington than Obama's approach. McCain has a proven record of being able to work with both parties. You are unswayed by Obama's ability to even win over his own party.
6. You like taking care of your own healthcare needs.

What was wrong with mine?
