Why I am Voting For John McCain over Barack Obama

John McCain agrees with me on the following issues (and Obama does not), therefore I am voting for John McCain for President of the United States:

The War on Terror needs to be fought to its conclusion. Whether going into Iraq was the right move or not, we must complete the job in the same way a surgeon must complete the job after opening up a body to remove cancer.

I believe Marriage should be between a man and a woman, and that homosexuality is a bad behavior that should not be justified by bastardizing the sanctity of marriage.

I support school vouchers. The education system will not improve by throwing money at it. The curriculum is in error. We are no longer teaching our kids basic arithmetic and phonics, but instead are using experimental methods of teaching that focuses more on a child's feelings and esteem than success and failure and the three R's. Private schools and homeschoolers are teaching their children the right curriculum - vouchers will create competition, and eventually will help the public school system realize their error.

Abortion should be illegal. The taking of innocent life as we have as a nation is akin to genocide. Murder is not a choice.

We must stop the secret abortions of minors, and transporting minors across state lines to get abortions.

The "Death Tax" must be eliminated.

We must protect religious expression, beliefs and churches.

Politicians in Washington are big spenders. The Democrats, and a number of Republicans, are notorious for creating big government with expensive programs that are unnecessary, and spending without proper controls. McCain originally voted against the Bush Tax Cuts because they did not include controlling spending. I agree with cutting taxes, but I also agree with McCain that cutting taxes without controlling spending is a moot point.

Election 2008 is upon us. Vote!
