Why I'm not voting for "The One" candidate


I love this link... click here! (It's about 10 minutes long, but worth watching.)
Also, please people....don't waste your vote by writing in "Mickey Mouse" or random other no-namers. Prayerfully consider who you are selecting as the next President of the United States.

Here are just some of the reasons I am not voting for Senator Barack Obama:
  • Obama voted against the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act
  • He has called for the repeal of the federal Defense of Marriage Act.
  • Obama stated on March 15, 2007, that "I do not agree...that homosexuality is immoral."
  • Obama supported banning the sale or transfer of all forms of semi-automatic firearms
  • He also voted against allowing persons who had obtained domestic violence protective orders to carry handguns for their protection.
  • Obama said he would institute an "Independent Defense Priorities Board," cut investments from an “unproven missile defense system,” "set a goal for a world without nuclear weapons," "work with Russia to take our ICBM's off hair trigger alert" and "slow the development of Future Combat Systems."
  • He specified that, under his plan, federal money given to places of worship could only be used on secular programs.
  • Obama stated that he opposed education vouchers for use at private schools because he believes they would undermine public schools.
  • He also is against the teaching of intelligent design as scientific fact, but supports teaching it as theology.
  • Obama's health care plan includes implementing guaranteed eligibility for affordable health care for all Americans, paid for by insurance reform, reducing costs, removing patent protection for pharmaceuticals, and required employer contributions.
  • Obama opposes the Health Care Choice Act which allows young, healthy people to purchase less expensive individual health insurance.
  • Obama says he favors increasing capital gains tax above the present 15% rate to 20% for families whose income is above $250,000.
  • Obama announced a plan — if elected — to deploy an additional 7,000 troops to Afghanistan. (He's not bringing everyone home, like the media wants you to believe!!!!)
  • "I consistently believe that when it comes to whether it's Native Americans or African-American issues or reparations, the most important thing for the U.S. government to do is not just offer words, but offer deeds," Obama told a meeting in Chicago in July 2008.
  • Obama has said that the death penalty is used too frequently and inconsistently.
  • And he uses Times New Roman font and writes in ALL CAPS...just kidding about that one!
