Why I'm voting for McCain?

[scottm]

I will occasionally share a reason why I'm voting for McCain.
I hate posting politics, but this election is very crucial to all
of us. The wrong decisions could have dire consequences.

Frank Calls for Major Defense Cuts, 'Eventual' Tax Hike
http://briefingroom.thehill.com/2008/10 ... tax-hikes/

Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) said Democrats will push for a stimulus package after the November election, and called for a package reducing defense spending by 25 percent while saying Congress will "eventually" raise taxes.

You're going to hear more about all kinds of taxes getting raised
or tax breaks removed. We need McCain in office to help create
some balance. Obama plus a Democrat Congress is dangerous!

ISSUES AND THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES: HEALTH CARE
http://www.nationaljournal.com/njmagazi ... 7_5037.php

McCain's plan is relatively tax neutral, moving the breaks to people so
that they can purchase policies individually instead of going through an
employer. This would make health insurance work similar to auto/home
only you get a tax incentive. Providers can have varying plans that you
can pick from (so you can get a cheap one if you need less coverage).

Obama's plan is to create a government managed system that people
would be able to get insurance though; subsidized by taxes. That's fine
but there's 2 catches that I don't think are good ideas. Companies that
don't provider employee coverage would pay a "fee" that would go into
the government managed pool. Also, third party providers would need
to register with the government and offer only the same packages as
they provide. Thus I feel you won't get a truly open market choice and
the government subsidized plans will win since they're offset by taxes.

In the end, my vote is for McCain's plan. Is it perfect? No. But I would
rather see choice and competition in the market than another tax fueled
government organization that's just setting itself up for corruption.

House Democrats Contemplate Abolishing 401(k) Tax Breaks
http://www.workforce.com/section/00/art ... /83/58.php

Powerful House Democrats are eyeing proposals to overhaul the nation’s $3 trillion 401(k) system, including the elimination of most of the $80 billion in annual tax breaks that 401(k) investors receive.

Democrats want to eliminate tax breaks on privately run 401(k)s
and require people to invest in government managed retirement
accounts. Meaning? More money in the governments hands that
they can spend as they wish (and it will lead to more corruption).

Can you see the trend? Government managed everything...

If you're in the "middle class" your 401(k) is probably your second
largest asset after you home. And the pro middle class Democrats
want to take this away. People... this should scare you!

Berg vs Obama
http://www.obamacrimes.com/

There are unresolved questions regarding Obama's true nationality.
He has never displayed a legit birth certificate in court. The latest
case in Philadelphia from Berg was dismissed by a Clinton appointed
judge. If a voter doesn't have the right to verify the legitimacy of a
candidate on the ballot, who does? He's appealing to the US Supreme
Court -- and let's hope someone is listening up there!

PS- I've heard there's 8+ states with similar ongoing lawsuits against
Obama and/or the DNC. You'd think if Obama and the Democrats do
not have anything to hide they'd just show a judge the piece of paper.

Again, people, this is a bad sign...

In Law School, Obama Found Political Voice
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/28/us/po ... nd&emc=rss

Obama slips and says...

I’m not interested in the suburbs. The suburbs bore me.

This guy has no desire to help the middle class. Once elected
we're going to lose our quality health coverage, lose our 401(k)s,
some people say our right to bear arms, taxes will rise and who
knows what is going to get cut from our lives after that...

Remember that when he says he's not going to "raise taxes" he
means he's not going to raise them above Clinton's levels, after
he repeals the Bush tax cuts. People/businesses making $250K
or more will get even higher taxes, and I have people say some
ads now say $200K. I imagine that number will keep declining.

China Expert Hayward Warns Against Obama's 'Socialist' Plan For America
http://www.salem-news.com/articles/octo ... 102408.php

Al Hayward, a 25-year Chinese trade expert, says “you can drown by tipping the canoe too far in either direction”, and he is worried that what he calls Barack Obama’s “socialistic promises” are tipping this country too far toward communism.

$250K, then $200K and now... $150K ?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAEE1_IUycs

Obama has been saying $250K from the beginning.
He recently said $200K at a rally. Now Biden gives
the idea that the line is $150K. Guess what, I will
go out on a limb and say it will include EVERYONE.

Barack's use of the Red Star

Skim through the catalog and notice all the red stars...

http://www.democratnationalcommittee.co ... _obama.htm



Are Obama and the DNS flaunting upcoming socialism?

Read more about what the red star means...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_star

The five-pointed red star, a pentagram without the inner pentagon, is a symbol of communism as well as broader socialism in general.

To some, this may sound far fetched, but to people who have followed
Obama's past, his associates, how he thinks, you can tell how scary of
a situation this really is. Do NOT put this guy in the White House!

An Acorn Whistleblower Testifies in Court
The group's ties to Obama are extensive.
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122533169940482893.html

The FBI is investigating its voter registration efforts in several states, amid allegations that almost a third of the 1.3 million cards it turned in are invalid. And yesterday, a former employee of Acorn testified in a Pennsylvania state court that the group's quality-control efforts were "minimal or nonexistent" and largely window dressing. Anita MonCrief also says that Acorn was given lists of potential donors by several Democratic presidential campaigns, including that of Barack Obama, to troll for contributions.

Why Democrats Will Target the Investor Class in 2009
http://www.usnews.com/blogs/capital-com ... -2009.html

There are at least two pretty effective ways to turn someone into a Republican: (1) get them married with kids and (2) get them to invest in the stock market. So, if I were a highly paid Democratic political strategist, I would make sure to spend a few minutes every day thinking of ways to get Americans out of the stock market—the faster, the better. And that's why if Barack Obama is elected president next week, 2009 may well bring a concerted and all-out effort by the Obama administration and a Democratically dominated Congress to turn the generally pro-Republican Investor Class into an endangered class by, among other tactics, raising investment taxes and ending the tax preferences for 401(k)'s, IRAs, and other retirement accounts.

Barack Obama 'could worsen crisis': Rupert Murdoch
http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/bu ... 43,00.html

With the US election five days away, Mr Murdoch criticised Senator Obama's tax policies as "crazy", particularly his plan to hand out tax rebates to most Americans and to increase taxes for people earning more than $250,000. He said Senator Obama's promises to give tax rebates to 95per cent of Americans was "rubbish".

"Forty per cent (of the US population) don't pay taxes, so how can he give them a tax cut?" he said. "But you can give them a welfare cheque which he has promised - a grant of $500 - which will disappear very fast. It's not going to turn the economy around at all."

Mr Murdoch said no one knew what would happen under an Obama administration "but his declared policy would see a real setback of globalisation".

Hidden Audio: Obama Tells SF Chronicle He Will Bankrupt Coal Industry
http://newsbusters.org/blogs/p-j-gladni ... l-industry

Well, Barack Obama actually flat out told the San Francisco Chronicle (SF Gate) that he was willing to see the coal industry go bankrupt in a January 17, 2008 interview.
...
Here is the transcript of Obama's statement about bankrupting the coal industry (emphasis mine):

Let me sort of describe my overall policy.

What I've said is that we would put a cap and trade system in place that is as aggressive, if not more aggressive, than anybody else's out there.

I was the first to call for a 100% auction on the cap and trade system, which means that every unit of carbon or greenhouse gases emitted would be charged to the polluter. That will create a market in which whatever technologies are out there that are being presented, whatever power plants that are being built, that they would have to meet the rigors of that market and the ratcheted down caps that are being placed, imposed every year.

So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can; it's just that it will bankrupt them because they're going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that's being emitted.

That will also generate billions of dollars that we can invest in solar, wind, biodiesel and other alternative energy approaches.

The only thing I've said with respect to coal, I haven't been some coal booster. What I have said is that for us to take coal off the table as a (sic) ideological matter as opposed to saying if technology allows us to use coal in a clean way, we should pursue it.

So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can.
It's just that it will bankrupt them.

Which is ironic, because later he says...

Transcript of second McCain, Obama debate
http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/10/07/ ... ranscript/

Obama:

We're going to have to develop clean coal technology and safe ways to store nuclear energy.

Just another in a chain of lies being fed to the American people.
