Why I am not voting for Barack Obama . . .

So we are officially only 30-something days away from the election and I am amazed at the fact that a no experience socialist is leading in most polls. Not that it matters in Utah because McCain will win handily here, but it is important that people know who Barack Obama is and what his proposal are going to cost us, the American tax payers.

-First, he has proposed 1 trillion in new spending...none of that on national defense
-Says we will leave Iraq in 16 months-nothing like leaving a job unfinished so OUR CHILDREN will have to go back.
-He was graded the senate's most liberal Senator, nice accomplishment for someone who was only actually there for 143 days before leaving to run for President.
-He has never worked across the aisle with the other party and is too liberal to join in bipartisan legislation
-He votes the party line 97% of the time-not the CHANGE or HOPE he promises. :-)
-He plays on the economic,racial,and political sensitivities of Americans for gain.
-Pro-abortion, or anti-life which ever you want to call it.
-Anti- Born Alive Infants act= thinks babies that survive abortions should be left to die. Hard to believe that someone could be that heartless BUT he was the only Senator in the Illinois Senate to stand an speak against the bill that would make that illegal. Than, didn't have the balls to vote against it so he voted "Present"
-Said he didn't want his daughters "punished with a baby" I don't know about you, but I don't really view babies as a "punishment"
-Plays the race card like nobody else I have ever seen! "They are gonna say he has a funny name, he doesn't look like the other Presidents on the money" Please.
-Tried to interfere in international affairs by asking Iraqi leaders to hold off on signing an agreement of US troop status in Iraq until next year.
-Wouldn't visit wounded soldiers in Germany without cameras, the army said no cameras, so he went shopping instead.
-His campaign encourages supporters to threaten and attack radio/television stations that allow dissenting or critical views of him or his policies...wait, isn't that called "free speech"?
-No executive experience. No management experience. No financial oversight experience
-No foreign policy experience, at all
-He has authored two memoirs for profit, but he has never written legislation of importance in either the state or federal senate.
-Terrible judgement- Which is worse, his domestic terrorist friend William Ayers, his Racist pastor Jeremiah Wright or Tony Rezco,his convicted felon friend who subsidized his home until he could afford it and was his biggest fund raiser until he was put in jail?
-His socialized healthcare program would bankrupt our country, destroy our medical system, and kill small businesses.
-He wants to extend oversight of free markets including commodities, stocks, currencies, and investment companies. = a completely Marxist idea. U.S.S.A anybody?
-Wants to drastically socialize America, from increased welfare to subsidizing university education and implementing social programs to the tune of 1 trillion dollars. Of course, on our, the taxpayers, bill.
-Talks so much about "the little guy" that he works for but he only gives 6% of his millions of dollars of income to charity (compared to palin 14%, mccain 28%, biden 1/2 % - wow the Democratic ticket is oozing with charity)
-He can't stand criticism and can't speak without a teleprompter.
-He says Sen. McCain and Gov.Palin are out of touch with the average American, but he went to Harvard and Columbia and worked as a lawyer for 10 years; whereas Sen. McCain served in the navy (5.5 years being tortured in a vietnam prison camp), and Gov. Palin was born and raised in a small town, was on the city council, a mayor and now Governor.
-Both John McCain and Sarah Palin have children in the military and they are the ones out of touch with average Americans?
-He is a radical populist to the tune of Marx, Stalin, Chavez and Castro.
-He'll talk all day about what you want to hear but never answer tough,important, real questions because they are "above his pay grade".
-He hides his real ideas, thoughts, and feelings and then accuses anyone who questions them as a racist.
-Said he will meet with leaders such as Ahmadinejad, Chavez, Castro and Quaddaffi without preconditions; then denied saying that even though it was on national t.v.
-Called Iran a "tiny country that is not a serious threat" Guess he doesn't understand that attempting to enrich uranium for Nukes is a serious problem.
-Lies to the American people saying he will cut "95% of Americans taxes" but hopes that we don't understand that with his raising the capital gains, payroll, death, windfall profits, corporation and income taxes that jobs will disappear and in reality, will affect at least 75% of Americans.
-Wants to take away Americans gun rights. Said that middle class Americans are "bitter Americans who cling to Guns and Religion"
-When asked by Sen. McCain to return to D.C to help figure out the bailout declined and said to Congress "If you need me, call me"
-Voted "Present" over 130 times in the Illinois Senate. As President, you aren't allowed a "Present" vote when our Nations security is on the line.
-Has a bitter wife who said earlier this year that "for the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my country" pathetic.
-Has ordered Columbia and Harvard to not release his Senior Thesis or transcripts because he doesn't want people knowing who he really is.
-Was mentored by Saul Alinsky and Frank Marshall Davis, both well known Communists.

Basically he will ruin our country. I personally am not in love with John McCain. I love the choice of Sarah Palin and as a Conservative fully support the Republican ticket but because CNN, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, ABC, The New York Times and most media outlets are in bed with Obama, the general public fails to receive the facts about Obama, his past or his character. All I can say is if he wins, heaven help us, because it will be downhill. You think the economy, healthcare system and social security are screwed up now? Wait till this inexperienced Socialist gets his hands on it all.

The Democrat controlled Congress has helped put us where we are. Gas prices have doubled in the 2 years they have had control and government spending has increased. They have the lowest rating of any congress in history and you want to put them in control of the country overall??? I hope Americans have some smarts and see through all the "Obama-mania" and look at who he is. A socialist who will ruin the American Dream.
