without once using Barack Obama's name, why do you stand for John McCain?

and it would be nice to see some original thoughts rather than links to the opinions of the pundits and professionals.

The biggest reason is his opponent is going to ruin the country.

But if that is not good enough then for the fact that he will put in conservative justices.

He will not let the Bush tax cuts expire.

On immigration he and his opponent are flat our wrong and frankly out of touch with America.

He does not want to tax corporations out of the USA.

He fights against government spending for the sake of spending.

He seems to adapt to the changing political climate. (whether it makes him flip flop)

He realizes that a withdrawal will cost us in the long run.

He does not want to balloon entitlement programs.

Does voting for him because he is better than his opponent make it a bad thing?

If you don't stand for McCain, you'll fall for anything.

I think I just made myself nauseous.

He is a leader against earmarks attached to bills (pork):

wow! what a suprise. such a simple question, and only two real responses. and one of the two was just another link post because they didnt have any words of their own.

here's a newsflash. i dont like earmarks either, but earmarks is not where all our taxpayer money is being wasted. it's really,really insignificant compared to a number of things, not the least of which: THE CASH COW THAT IS THE WAR IN IRAQ.

I wont vote for McCain OR the other one I'm not allowed to name.

If I had to pick one it would be McCain, only because he doesnt believe in taxing people to death and taking my money to pay for others who are not motivated and would rather live off of hand outs.
