ZOMGZ it's another right-wing conspiracy! Just so you guys don't think I'm a neo-con idiot, here are the issues governing my vote:
1. Energy - Nuclear... McCain wants it, Obama opposes it. Japan has more nuclear reactors per capita than any other country and they are on how many fault lines? How many meltdowns have they had? None?
This frees up our natural gas to power cars instead of homes... namely 18-wheelers. This way personal cars (because not everyone can afford to go out and buy a natural gas car) can use domestically produced oil while all of our commercial road traffic uses a resource that is abundant in the US and burns 80% cleaner.
We ramp up drilling which will further alieviate pressure... this buys us time to produce an even better solution.
2. Health Care - There are 10 MRI machines at my local hospital in Arkansas... the are 20-30 in ALL of Canada. Socialized medicine does not work. All is does is hurt the middle class who have insurace (which are much more numerous than the uninsured).
Think about it... you have a sudden influx of uninsured bidding for doctors, suddenly when you are majorly ill, you're on a waiting list. The rich are taxed even more, but can afford to pay out the ass to get good care at a private hospital.
Those without get free care, those with who don't make much are worse off, and the rich are annoyed. Hurts more than helps. Thanks, but no thanks if you will...
3. Wal-Mart... yes, Wal-Mart. Obama hates us... now most of you come from families where you don't have to shop us to make ends meet. But, face it, we have done more than the government to control inflation, provide jobs, and improve healthcare. $4 generics drugs anyone? Yes, other places do them too, but not until we did. We forced it on retail and it has made a difference in peoples lives.
Obama would see us Unionized... as if killing off the steel and auto industries wasn't enough.
I can deal with a little bit of over the top right wing ideology to achiee the above.
Also, someone refrenced an abuse of power scandal in an earlier post. The cop that was eventually fired TASED A TEN YEAR OLD, went on patrol drunk, etc. If the police chief didn't hae the foresight to fire him, he needed to go as well.

At any rate, we'll see what happens in November.
